hey guys,

just been talking with some friends and we are having a few arguments over what types of things tfc should be producing. what do you guys think of: car flags (i know they were rogers promos), car decals, calendars or even athletic wear that isn't so traditional - maybe lululemon-esque (for the ladies)???

just add whatever u think would be a good idea

I'm always in favour of any product that makes a woman's backside so incredibly tasty looking!

And of course I say that with the utmost respect for women.

If you're "in the business" then you might want to do a thread search because this has been done at least once before, and Paul B was in on one of them (it was in connection with Centre Sports being redone) - there were some great ideas thrown out, as well as the usual hoopla of madness.

I've been wanting an official calendar to come out since the team started. I'd buy one every year for sure.

Parkdale
01-26-2010, 01:59 PM
you know what they should be making..... things people actually wear!

not tattoo sleeves, not warmup pants with skinny legs.... stuff people wear!

Hell, I'd even like to see a tie in TFC colours. If you have to wear a tie, it might as well be TFC

wait... calendars? that's a great Idea. I wish we thought of it first!

:rolleyes:


hahaha... but seriously though, who are you? You working for the team?
Or are you a guy with a business that is pitching ideas to the team?
I'm not saying that's bad, because I know that's how things get made,
and we're all been a bit hungry for TFC goods over the past few seasons.

(well top quality stuff that doesn't just look like generic adidas stuff with an iron on logo)

i don't work for the team. i will bring some of these ideas to fruition. if you guys suggest some good ideas i will pitch them and if we and the brass see it as a good opportunity whether its community based, charity based, to maximize revenue or building partnerships/relationships or brand awareness/building, it will go through.

i feel that some of the items that are available now vs some of the ideas that could come to fruition are very different.

so... make the supporters happy, maximize opportunities and profits and give back to charity and community. it only makes sense no?

hodgkiss
01-26-2010, 02:27 PM
ok, let me ask this: if we were to pitch a calendar, would you guys be more interested in 12 sexy babes each wearing tfc merchandise (or little of it) or more of a cool looking calendar with 12 players from the team with really nice photo?

i am compelled to pitch both ideas - for two different markets. babes for the 18-40 male and the player calendar for everyone including this market

thoughts guys?

ok, but I think everyone on here (and this could be your primary market) would want to see a big emphasis on quality of product over profits being maximised. I'd much rather see a focussed line of quality stuff come out than a saturation of the market with countless items that are all cheap shite. i would not buy cheap shite, TFC branded or not. In fact, because TFC means so much to me I'd only want to buy decent products that did justice to the badge.

That said, Parky is right and I have definitely thought many times when I was out in shops that they should bring out more TFC gear. Nothing cheesy though.

Oh, and agree with the post above that mroe official merch should be made available without havign to buy through the US. I've gone to order stuff before and cancelled the order because the shipping was just ridiculous.

I'm starting to dislike you. what the fuck has cheap tarts wearing footie gear go to do with TFC? If people want virtually naked women they'll buy the Pirelli calendar or any number of other options.

What kind of message is that sending out to the market anyway? TFC will prostitute itself and sell smutty calendars instead of things that parents will buy their kids to hang on bedroom walls?

I don't want to sound too puritanical, but seriously dude, that's a fucking bad idea. The odd horn dog on here may be up for it but I doubt you'll find a serious market for it. And I also don't think you'll get more than ten seconds into your pitch with the TFC FO before they start looking at their watches.

maybe you should leave this stuff to someone else. :facepalm:

[and yes, i realise this guy is just doing some free market research, and I decided to bite anyway! :D]

there are times and places to use this board for market research so please, share some info.........

hodgkiss
01-26-2010, 02:38 PM
what do you guys think about being able to order these products through centresports online? e-commerce?

as far as quality gear vs maximizing profits... well, i need to sell it to them to make it in their best interest. by mlse making money, it just makes it that much easier to sell. would the idea be to rip people off? no. but it's a business venture and every decision they make will have some form of return for them.

so if its money, data, community charity whatever... they need to get something back.

as far as gear goes, they would probably have to use adidas for almost any athletic gear. however, there may be ways into adidas for trying "new" items that they could almost test based on research and ideas that we could put forward. i.e. a new form fitted toque - made from a thinner material of fine quality (not an idea - just an example) we could approach tfc and or adidas to do something like this. conduct our market research and come back to them with prototypes and costs etc.

ok, i'm softening again because this is a good concept, but I think you've got your head in the clouds a bit. I can't see Adidas going for it and frankly the TFC market isn't big enough to be used as a test. There's a reason that MLSE hasn't tried to make more money from this market already. They knwo how passionate the fan base is and they still haven;t gone for it. Coincidence? I wouldn;t have thought so.

Good luck though. I'd be up for a form fitted tecno-toque. :D

listen guys, i just want to bring some of these ideas to life. so i want to get some feedback - thats all. it's in everyone's best interest so that we can get the things we really want to be available - avialble to us.

sorry to offend if this is not to the liking of everyone. just trying to help.

They have nice limited edition Leafs/Raptors ties at the ACC, but they don't have a TFC edition. They are quite expensive around $90 each

Parkdale
01-26-2010, 02:56 PM
skip the calendar, skip trying to compete with adidas - come up with something original!


If you can come up with someone (or steal the idea from a big team) and turn it into a TFC product, you'll sell them.

otherwise, forgetit. And you probably won't be getting any real gems from here that you couldn't find yourself in 2 minutes of google searching.

i'm probably going to run a poll about this but does everyone feel the same way about a player calendar vs a sexy babe one?

i am really inclined to pitch both - with extensions for promotional gaming and game day appearances by some of the girls (if the babe calendar flies) and such.

initial thoughts? feedback?

As for merch - Parkdale bobbleheads

I think you'd make a much more bobbely bobble head than I would.

I would like to see TFC Brand Tampons, TFC Brand Voltage Meters, TFC Brand Simulated-Garlic-Flavour Meat Tenderizer; TFC Brand Unleaded Gasoline and some good ole fashioned TFC Brand Baby Formula.

All Hail Conspicuous Consumption!
KTHXBYE.

you'd buy 12 calenders if we did it no need to lie
but as for the tie idea; i'd buy one IF it wasn't stupidly over done.
look at the stuff in england; simple stripping that matches in colouring, with the crest at the bottom of the tie.
can't wait for my derby county one to show up

TFC condoms

Given the state of our defence Roogs, I'm not sure they'd sell very well or be of much use. Well, maybe some bunny boiler freaks would want them for Fatal Attraction style purposes. But then, would you want TFC's name on them? Would kind of take the fun out of match day. :noidea:

that is part of the sell nuvinho (if they wanted to go the sponsorship route)

i can pull this off and make this calendar look amazing. i have a full team of professionals waiting at my word to get this started.

just need a yes from tfc


Oooooooooooooh! Get you! Sounds fancy. :D

I'd still like to see a serious TFC calendar, in the style that clubs like manure, liverpool and chelsea sell every year, and without sponsor crap all over it. But if MLSE thought they'd make money off it then they would have done it by now. I also think they're being careful not to saturate the market with TFC merch so that they can charge prices they want to for the stuff that is available. Not that I'm a cynic with a bad hunch or anything.

ok, let me ask this: if we were to pitch a calendar, would you guys be more interested in 12 sexy babes each wearing tfc merchandise (or little of it) or more of a cool looking calendar with 12 players from the team with really nice photo?

i am compelled to pitch both ideas - for two different markets. babes for the 18-40 male and the player calendar for everyone including this market

thoughts guys?

both....one for work , one for home, TFC lasses with thongs; work for sure,

I'd love to own a Barbarian quality level TFC Rugby Jersey with long sleeves, solid red with white collar and red cuffs. No odd lines such as the team jersey has although the embossed Maple Leaf would work. Obviously it would have to have the BMO sponsorship on it and that can be lived with.

It would be great for the spring and fall games and a helluva lot more comfortable than the material that the team shirts are made out of. They're fine for the hot summer games but they aren't made to keep one warm.

That's where a quality rugby jersey becomes indispensable.

I have nothing against babes, and she seemed like a lovely girl, but if I'm going to buy a TFC calendar then I want it to have TFC in it. If I want a girly calendar then I'll get something full of tits and not being covered up by annoyingly placed TFC scarves. I just don't see the point of or value in the cross over. And I am 100% dead certain that TFC FO would shoot it down before you finished saying the word babe.

Pitch it if you want, but don't stake your mortgage (or your professional staff's job security) on it. :D

I would not mind seeing something simple like Team Calendar Maybe with a team Photo, and all the months on 1 sheet. I recall the Leafs used to do that many years ago through Dominion Grocery stores. I am currenntly making my own TFC clock. I am using the TFC logo and cutting out wth a scroll saw a friend of mine gave me. out of a piece of 5/8 pine. hopefullly it turns out well.

I would love to see a scarf that is made out of a lighter (less warm) material than the ones you get now so you are not sweating buckets in the summer with it on. I always hang up the scarf in the hottest days because I just can't take it on my neck but would love to have a summer option since MLS plays through the summer. Also, would like to see some different lighter material knit hats like the slouch hat style. One more thing, bring back the full size flags....I was finally just about to buy one and then the girl at the counter told me they were no more. I waited too long. Damn.

- bedsheets, pillow cover, and bed covers/comforter for my kids bed
- Keychains, pens, etc (great gift ideas - especially to send to my friends and relatives overseas).
- bobbleheads
- affordable shot glasses sold on their own not with mug
- tfc jogging pants that are not tappered on the bottom

- lighter scarf (I 2nd this idea)
- large flags too! (I 2nd this one too)
- also like the Calendar Idea. Soccer360 have come out with some decent World Players and Italy Calendars, maybe they should work on a TFC Calendar too.

Backpacks that aren't tacky to wear. I've seen the backpacks available and it's like, red, white and gray, with a huge soccer ball holder. Now, that's good and whatnot, for soccer, but what about school backpacks? I made my own, bought the crest off ebay and sewed (who am I kidding, got someone to sew) it on the adidas bag I bought. It looks amazing IMO, something I would buy if I saw in the store. Just a thought.
