The Crusher Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 7 hours ago, bla bla bla said: I'll throw my .02 in, I'm a fan of having an AAF thread in the forums. This is an exciting way to scout talent, no different than a thread about college prospects. If these were moved to a certain sub forum (kinda like the draft forum) I'm far less likely to engage in them. Not to mention the discussion about potential new rules that the NFL could benefit from, I think there are a lot of valuable talking points. Agreed and we have an AAF thread. Also had an AAF gamethread and imagine we will have one today. Not sure we need one for every article someone finds. Was the point of my post. Keep them in one place.

TuscanyTile2 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just for fun I checked the prices of their merch. Not cheap at all (e.g. $30 for a t-shirt) . It's ridiculous for them to try to shake down football fans like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I looked at tickets, $20.00 for "General Admission" which is upper deck angled end zone crap. Want a "good seat"? To watch the Orlando Apollos play the Memphis Hackenhmbergs? LOL. $60 per seat. Please, AAF, get your sh*t together. You had about 4,000 people there last night..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 You can probably find local deals for tics or just go to game and buy something very cheap at the stadium.

A basic Jets' t-shirt (using with the regular, not discounted, price) from NFLShop.com is $29.99. Meanwhile, the Birmingham Iron also charge $29.99 for one of their t-shirts.

Certainly the AAF could have worked out a take-it-or-leave-it deal with the manufacturer saying what the max price should be (else they'd find a new manufacturer).

They don't even have an established "brand" or fanbase yet. Pricing Orlando Apollos tagged stuff at a rate commensurate with an NFL level market is dumb. LOL. I buy Grunt Style high quality T shirts (NexTlevel) for $22. A gray heather T with silkscreened logo of a team that has existed for 10 minutes shouldn't cost $30.

mrcoops Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I didn't watch the games live, as primetime games start at 1am here and my football withdrawal hasn't quite reached that stage of desperation yet. However, I caught up on the games today and was actually fairly impressed with the product and the standard of play. I am intrigued to see how Hackenberg and John Wolford, who I thought we should have kept on the PS, do today in their starting gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
