Very, very nice! Is the T considered vintage? Would love to see a gold t-shirt with just the T on it.

I'd love to print the vintage designs, but I was denied the vintage license for now...I'll keep applying, though, with more data that people want it and can't find it.
A lot of people have been campaigning for Homefield stuff on social media. I don’t know anything about the process, but is it possible they have the vintage license and that’s why you are blocked? Or would it be something from the Tech or Adidas side blocking you?

Oh and I used to have a white T-shirt with a small GT on the breast and a large GT, in blue and gold, on the back...I'd buy that also

Tech just says they have "sufficient vintage licensees." I've chatted with the guy who owns Homefield, and Tech has told them the same thing. I've found one place doing vintage GT poorly.

Tech saying that have sufficient vintage licensees seems....absurd, does it not? Who and where? Seems laughable that was the reply they gave you.

I am curious how they could ever have enough licensees. Why the upper bound? Are they getting paid to limit the number of licensees? Otherwise let the licensees compete in the market and give the consumers the best choices.

When you get that vintage permit, there is a photo of Spurrier wearing a GT shirt that is fire and I want it.

Is this an AD decision?

Now this is the stupid Tech we know that is deserving of its dumb merchandising reputation. There is no one that does vintage Tech well, especially GT itself. It's almost like they are intentionally holding back the best stuff because some random person in their licensing department has decided they don't like it.

A pure guess is that there is an optimal configuration of what one can charge for a license and the number of licenses (assuming the licenses are the same). So imagine GT chooses to sell only one license - that = a monopoly on GT merch. That would be worth a lot. But, would it be worth more than the sum of two licenses? Not sure. Oh, and don't forget that, from the buyer's perspective, if GT tells me (as a buyer of such licenses) that there are only FIVE (as an example), and I pay for what I assume is one-fifth of the GT apparel market space, GT cannot issue another bunch of licenses after charging me for 1/5 of their market space. That's like selling stock at whatever price then issueing another crap-ton of stock and selling the new stock for a lower price. Not a perfect analogy but that may be why there is a cap on the number of licenses.

Sure that’s possible if Tech has to motivate people to produce its gear. But that’s lame. If your apparel isn’t good enough to win customers on its own why should Tech pay you to make undesirable apparel?

when will these be available in women's sizes? I will keep reposting this question until I get women's clothing for free.
