Do you know how many suppliers have knickers they can't give away? Texas suppliers will soon have a similar problem with not only the 1" striped shirts, but the 1" stripes that have sublimated (word?? sp??) logos on them that will not be used after 2015 AT ALL. You see where I'm going here? Suppliers do not care what we wear but have to manage their inventory to the extent that they want to know what to buy. They don't want to be stuck with gear they can't sell, but also want to have what they need when they get an order. That can be an extremely difficult course to manage.

The change is shirts is NOT at the bequest of the supplier. Guys need to quit asserting that.
I was told at a conference a few weeks ago that Honig's has over 25,000 pairs of knickers sitting in their warehouse - the source was pretty good too.
