It’s usually up from TT and used for MGP but noticed today it’s been de-constructed (it all seems to be there). A bit strange. Anyone on here have any idea why? Gotta find ways to keep those workers busy and avoid the boring stuff like roads and footpaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used last year for several events connected with the MGP Centenary. It’s always been a bit overwhelming for the MGP and even the CTT so expensive to operate. There will be a smaller unit used during the MGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 These actually look kind of cool. I quite like the idea of the logos for corners rather than some generic motorbike picture. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-tt-organisers-tease-new-race-merchandise-days-ahead-of-launch-718303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 if they cost any more than £10 then there a rip off brilliant T shirts in FandF this week for half that price and better quality , bikers like heavy duty cotton or Polo shirts that will wash a few hundred times , these new versions look like they will fall apart after a couple of washes didn't even bother to price them anything to do with the TT merchandise has sadly become an expensive rip off , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the merch they sell at BSB, MotoGP or an endurance race? There are at least three people in this house who will be ordering those. I doubt your lack of custom will be noticed Edited September 3 by Tinpot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well their tastes in merchandise and its quality can't have deteriorated that much because Spar outlets are still full of unsold Cube offerings from 18 months ago. This is after 2 TTs and 2 MGPs.

And not to mention a considerable reduction in price as well , by Christmas they will be giving them away not the quality or attractive design as the previous supplier of TT and MGP merchandise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a good brand (team) and good quality it will sell. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
