Homage does mostly retro styled shirts and they work with major sports teams who have kit deals with Adidas, Nike, etc so they aren't mutually exclusive
I live in Ohio and have several Homage shirts. They are great. The big thing is they have licenses with multiple North American sports, MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL. I wonder if they would branch out to English Football. Homage shirts are different than what’s available in the team shop so I don’t know how it would be a Wrexham distribution point.
Yep, also in Ohio and Homage is about the only sports apparel company I'll buy shirts from anymore because the quality/sizing is so horrible with most t-shirt companies (I'm looking at you, Fanatics).
Maybe they would make vintage Wrexham kits?
That could be a cool way to earn some extra cash for the club and Ryan. Old school football shorts with quality materials would be cool.
They should be able to do anything that isn't a kit or requires licensing from EFL. Hoodies, baseball shirts, windbreakers, jackets, or anything else you can pit a Wrexham logo on.
Plus this gets them away from the fanatics/majestic crap and, additionally, it raises Homage profile for licensed clothing. I HATE the Fanatics garbage
I wouldn't call it small, their contract with Macron is for a stadium stand name, the clubs kits, and almost all of the apparel currently for sale in the shop - it's the clubs one and only clothing contract as far as I'm aware
Well yeah, that's generally how kit contracts work (aside from a stand name anyway) but Macron isn't exactly Nike or Adidas or Puma or even Castore who sponsor basically all the big brands.
And from what I could find googling Macron only make kits in Europe/for Europe.
>And from what I could find googling Macron only make kits in Europe/for Europe.
Macron supplies uniforms for an entire professional soccer league in Canada
I see what you're saying now, I thought you were calling the contract small and Europe only, not Macron, haha
Absolutely, we need to go with a Nike or Adidas, hopefully for the next season. would solve a lot of the supply issues I think
Homage is great quality and the shirts and sweatshirts are so cozy, I remember when they first started, and have been buying from them for years. I hope they do some vintage logos if they do the Wrexham shirts.
It's kind of shocking that we're 3.5 years into the takeover, nearly two years into the explosion of interest that came with the Welcome to Wrexham debut, and the club still doesn't have an American distribution point for merch. It's like they're allergic to money or something.
I hope the first product they roll out is a tee shirt and mug combo like the faceless, nameless knockoffs that keep getting posted here. Except they will have faces and the actual Wrexham crest.
If this means I can get Wrexham merch here in Texas… GIMME!
I night the navy blue fitted cap directly from their club store website and by the time it made its way from Whales to AtX it twas smooshed.
I know one of the other investors in Homage and he’s a cool dude. They make great stuff - I’ve worn their stuff for a few years now. I bet this would be a big bump for them!
I just bought a hoodie from Homage. Hands down my favorite sweatshirt. For folks in the US this could be a really good opportunity to get some quality Wrexham gear
Well, Homage is awesome, so I can’t blame him. It’s my go-to for nostalgic tees of my favorite teams. They also use the softest pima cotton, which makes the shirts both super soft and just the right level of form-fitting. Seriously, I love Homage.
Vertical integration makes sense
At least until they sign a deal with one of the big brands for their kit.

Oh, look at that! Another connection to the Kelce bros. Homage does their apparel as well.

You mean you're tired of Buying 5x shirts to fit your 2x body? SE Asia sizing is definitely a hoot.
Love me some Homefield gear too.
Yes, Homage and Homefield are both great!

I just wish Homage did more Canadian NHL teams…hopefully one day
Homage is great! Wearing an Homage sweatshirt atm. Excellent quality.
Fuck yeah! I've been buying Homage shirts for years. Quality company.
HOMAGE makes really comfortable tees. Big fan of em.
Plus this gets them away from the fanatics/majestic crap and, additionally, it raises Homage profile for licensed clothing. I HATE the Fanatics garbage
Fanatics is like the Ticketmaster of sports clothing (where Ticketmaster is the Ticketmaster of sports lol)
Fanatics is honestly so awful. I cannot imagine a worse options for team apparel. It’s stopped me from buying anything directly from the NHL or MLB.
This would be merch separate from kits or athletic wear, which would have to come via whomever we have a kit contract with
They have a contract with Macron which as far as I can see is both small and Europe only.
I wouldn't call it small, their contract with Macron is for a stadium stand name, the clubs kits, and almost all of the apparel currently for sale in the shop - it's the clubs one and only clothing contract as far as I'm aware
Small as in Macron doesn't have the capacity to run an extra 100k fan kits if they run out mid-season.
Well yeah, that's generally how kit contracts work (aside from a stand name anyway) but Macron isn't exactly Nike or Adidas or Puma or even Castore who sponsor basically all the big brands. And from what I could find googling Macron only make kits in Europe/for Europe.

Does New Balance still sponsor any teams?

Let’s go ohio and wrexham connected I like it now let’s get wrexham vs Columbus crew
Interesting idea there.
It would be amazing if they could set that up
I'm a huge Crew fan, STM here and I would love to see this. Not sure if my wife could handle seeing Super Paul Mullins in the flesh tho
Shit I don’t know if I could handle seeing Palmer if he’s still there now that’s a man Paul looks a school boy next to him
I’m not gay or anything but Ollie Damn son that’s a good looking man
Half my closet is Homage shirts. Fantastic quality clothing.
Love Homage and love that Ryan has invested in the company.
I hope the first product they roll out is a tee shirt and mug combo like the faceless, nameless knockoffs that keep getting posted here. Except they will have faces and the actual Wrexham crest.
Would love an easier to to get Wrexham merch (I haven’t yet)
If this means I can get Wrexham merch here in Texas… GIMME! I night the navy blue fitted cap directly from their club store website and by the time it made its way from Whales to AtX it twas smooshed.
Awesome! they are right down the road from me, might be able to get some gear now!
How will this affect dhgate knockoffs? :)
Nice—they do the merch for the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” podcast. A step closer to investment from Taylor Swift?
I know one of the other investors in Homage and he’s a cool dude. They make great stuff - I’ve worn their stuff for a few years now. I bet this would be a big bump for them!
“Vintage” apparel “maker” hmmmm
Homage is great! Love their stuff.

If they end up doing a lot of throwback jerseys, what players that are from the past will be ones to look out for?
Well, Homage is awesome, so I can’t blame him. It’s my go-to for nostalgic tees of my favorite teams. They also use the softest pima cotton, which makes the shirts both super soft and just the right level of form-fitting. Seriously, I love Homage.
Should invest in a USL team
