Team Merchandising....
...is it worth the money?
Whilst i was up at Silverstone last week, i really took a fancy to the McLaren Jacket, until i saw the price that is! £150. My mate liked the McLaren fleece, but didn't want to pay £75. There were, however. Lots of people who were prepared to pay the money. The place was like a McLaaren free for all and there must have been a serious amount of money spent up there over the weekend. Back in 2001. The bread knife bought me a BMW-Williams Jacket (my birthday always seems to fall around British GP weekend ) which was, imo, fairly reasonable at £50. So, here we are, 6 years later, and ok, it's a different team, but the materials and style are the same and the price has gone up massively. Other things, like team/driver caps have stayed about the same price £20 or so. So, what are you prepared to pay for your favourite team or driver's merchandise? I also thought, it would be a good idea to compare prices between the different countries and their respective GP's. So, here are a list of prices that i can remember off the top of my head of different products, and i wondered how they compare to the prices elsewhere. This weekends GP at the Nurburgring being a good start. Lets see, who gets ripped off the most! (I have a feeling there are gonna be alot of unhapppy Brits on here ) McLaren Jacket £150 (221 euros/ $305 USD) Renault Jacket £130 (192 euros/ $265 USD) Ferrari Jacket £110 (162 euros/ $224 USD) McLaren Fleece £75 (110 euros/ $152 USD) Renault ING sports bag £30 (44 euros/ $61 USD) Team caps £20 (30 euros /$45 USD) |
