Expanding club merchandis­e

- Sduduzo, via email

I’m a huge fan of South African sports irrespecti­ve of the genre, and particular­ly the merchandis­e that comes along with it. But I’ve come to notice that very few teams are not. In this day and age, the minute you step into a sport’s club store there should variety of merchandis­e, from shirts to hats, etc. But I rarely or have never come across sneakers. Apart from being a sneaker junkie, I believe the trendsette­rs in South African football (the “Big Three”) should by all means pave the way in that respect. I’m a designer and I’ve done some conceptual designs hoping that someone or an entity will see the potential in this billion-dollar market. I hope you see where my head is at with the potential of an untapped market, and hope my voice may be heard so that many more may see its potential and act on it.
