My LA Galaxy Rant

Friday, 20 July 07, 12:45 AM

 

Fore shame to the Los Angeles Galaxy marketing department. Here they go launching a new kit. A new kit which they knew for at least 5 months was coming. Yet at the launch of the new kit what did they have for us to spend our hard earned money on? Beckham jerseys (which yes I did buy one), Beckham polo's, Beckham shirts and well that's about all they had to offer. Yes they did have a regular polo shirt but wow.

 

So here I was at the Team LA Store at the Home Depot Center ready to spend my hard earned birthday money on some LA Galaxy shwag. I bought the new LA Galaxy Beckham Away jersey which is very nice. But I wanted more like a lot of people probably came to find out they would be as disappointed as I was and am. I was looking for hats, scarves, t-shirts; key chains all that good stuff (that I don't need, but just want). But alas there was nothing. I mean how hard it is to launch the new logo and kit properly with a whole lot of merchandise that along with the kid or adult buying the Beckham jersey they will pick up too.

 

You'll never catch Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool launching a new kit without all the goodies for the fan to buy along with it.

 

 

I want a new scarf. Am I going to have to wait another year for a Galaxy scarf like I did my last? They know what people want to buy yet they don't make it available. And in the same instant loosing my dollars I could be giving them. So a little less complaining about how you don't make enough money on the merchandise. If you had product people wanted to buy then you would but instead you have the same cookie cutter crap you had before. A message to the Galaxy please go to Arsenal.com* and to their club shop and take some hints. They have the best shop in the EPL and I'm not even an Arsenal fan.

 

 

On a different note about pricing, don't rip people off at games. Parking all year has been $15. About as much as my ticket and more then some others. Yet now that Beckham is here you raise parking prices to $20. Get a grip. The Home Depot Center isn't in the greatest location either when you think about it. So have some respect for your fans and don't screw us out of our money to park our car. $20 for parking is $5 more than a month ago and still that is a lot.  You should be making it easier for fans to make it to games not harder.
