Originally posted by eastie:It is possible that there was a huge supply of Kap stuf sitting in the warehouse while his sales numbers were dropping like a rock and that Hayne and Gabbert's warehouse stock was within the projected sales numbers. When things went south for Kap, it was sudden and extreme. It's highly possible that they didn't want to get stuck with merch that they couldn't sell.Originally posted by Afrikan:Do you not remember when they put Kap's jersey/merchandise on Clearance WHILE he was still on the team...? yet kept Gabbert and Jared Hayne, who was off the team by then, jerseys still at full price.
Again some in the organization obviously feel comfortable enough going out of their way to make a statement. It could be their individual thinking, or they feel the higher ups feel the same way or won't care, or they are told to do so.
It's like what happens on this forum sometimes.
You have some mods (who were regular posters before then) who go out of their way to criticize or make up something about Kaepernick...... then regular troll posters feel it's open season...and s**t up Kaepernick threads.
Originally posted by dj43:That did seem odd. However, it could have been that the team had thousands of Kaepernick jerseys that were no longer selling well and only a couple dozen Gabbert/Hayne jerseys to sell.
Stores do this all the time. They get overstocked in something and rate of sale does not meet cash flow projections so the mark them down.
EDIT: Hadn't seen eastie's post when I wrote this. Same point.
Kap has always had high jersey sales.
It happened ONE week after he was put on IR. Seemed unnessarly disrespectful. THEN when Chip got hired, they took it off clearance...lol
Don't yall remember they didn't let Kap be on the sidelines.
Then they came up with the excuse that players on IR aren't on the sideline because they worry they could get hurt.
But then we see a couple of our other players who were on IR, show up on the sidelines.
s**t is just unnecessary. Yall can call it conspiracy s**t or what ever. I just go with what I see. And these weird "coincidences" are just an embarrassment to the team. Unnecessary attention. Totally avoidable. But nope. Another "oh gee wiz, don't know how that happend".
There is just a culture there that even when the new regime showed up, it didn't matter.
