| Call me Ted shirt auction 18:05 - Mar 19 with 1166 views | USA | I’m a bit disappointed the shirts are going up for auction. It’ll only be a handful of relatively rich people who will be able to buy the shirts. I can’t help feel doing a raffle would be a better way of raising money for the foundation. I’d happily buy a ticket at £5 in the hope of winning one. Gives almost every supporter a fair and equal opportunity to get their hands on one. And could potentially raise even more than via auction. The short looks great in my opinion |  |

Not gonna lie, I'd be pretty annoyed if I'd spent £500 on one of the auctions, thinking that they weren't going to do a wider release, only to then find out I could have got one for £50 a month later |  | |  |

(pre) match worn and signed though so you are getting something unique for the extra dosh. Be amazed if they don't at least do another limited run to see demand. Will defo buy it. |  |

The problem will be what the minimum order volume is for a very bespoke one off shirt. We can see by the discounting of the normal warm up stuff, there's not necessarily the demand for it you might think For instance you can still buy Eds tour shirt in all sizes, its nearly a year since that concert, they've knocked 30 quid off its still not sold out. They order a 1000 of these they sell 300...thats 700 x 50 quid they lose money on |  | |  |

South Shields did something similar. It sold really well. I’ve got one, loads of people were wearing it when it first came out. The profits from it went to a local cancer charity. |  |

Wonder if there are contractual reasons with Umbro that stop them putting it on general sale. |  |
