    Thanks. Yes it was part of the World Cup Training kit, worn as the squad sang the World Cup song too!

    Hi, I have some new gear for Scotland fans on my website at https://www.footballbobbles.com/product-tag/scotland/. It is all made exclusively for us in the UK/EU. There were 30 tees made, 30 Bucket Hats, and under 100 of each of the Bobble Hats. We won't be restocking these so if you want them please get them while you can. The hats will feature on Soccer AM tomorrow. We offer free delivery worldwide if you spend £60 or more, this includes the UK. There are also hats for supporters of Aberdeen, Celtic, Dunfermline, Dundee United, Hibs and Rangers. Any questions please do ask. Hope you get a result tonight! R

    Greetings, as promised in an earlier post here is news of a new hat I've made, the Rosebery 90 Bobble Hat https://www.footballbobbles.com/product-tag/scotland/. Hope you like them! All the best this Christmas and for the New Year. Reuven.

    Could highlight many moments of inglorious failure for most teams. Prefer to be a glass half full sort myself!

    Thanks Mauro! Will be sent asap as described!

    Yes, and Cyprus. Was making it to the World Cup not in itself an achievement?

    Hi, I posted about the Scotland 90 Hats a little while ago and received a positive response overall. The hats are now available to PRE-ORDER for TAMB members here https://www.footballbobbles.com/product/scotland90/. Use the code TartanArmy to get an exclusive 20% discount. We've only made 50 of the hats and hope you like them and enjoy the story behind them. We're football fans ourselves, trying to do something a little different for fellow supporters. The hats will be shipped (with text and email updates on delivery) from the 29 September 2017, arriving in time for upcoming games with Slovakia and Slovenia, best of luck with those! We hope the hats inspire the same spirit as saw victory in Cyprus in 89. We're sorry to hear about TAMB closing. If someone does take it on we would be very willing to discuss how we might help, providing we can make some decent products for members and market them. I think that would be fair? Happy to discuss as I say. Enjoy the hats! Reuven.

    Thanks Mauro! We do what we do, if other's think they have a better plan and can take the risk and make money from 300 to 500 hats like this then best of luck to them. We've invested in a new website this year, added new payment methods (SAGEPay, secure payment) all in the name of reducing costs overall so prices can be reduced a little, which they have been. We still sell a premium product for a fair price in my opinion, we're not mass market or the usual, nor do we aim to be. We have lots of things coming for Scotland fans, and Tim from S058 is a friend of mine (so we don't do Wales gear). Hope people get onside with us and we can produce the sorts of things you want to see. Any ideas are very welcome, as is all feedback. Cheers Reuven

    Not yet, release is likely in October. We have an email newsletter you can subscribe to on the site at footballbobbles.com as well as twitter @FootballBobbles and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/footbalbobbles/ to keep in touch. Hope that helps :-)

    That's great to hear, thanks. This is why we do what we do, the overt official merchandise isn't for lots of people and we want to cater to them :-)
  13. FootballBobbles
    Thank you, we appreciate that not everyone wants to pay that or can afford to and do our best to keep costs down while offering a great service :-) R

    Thanks for the comment. We only make 50 hats, they take a lot of design, sampling. The original shirt design is interpreted by an artist, then one is made at a factory so we can ensure it looks right, there's a significant cost to all of that. To make any money from 50 we have to charge more than say a Primark or Sports Direct hat, or the sort of thing mass produced in sweat shops in Bangladesh or elsewhere. Our hats are made in factories we have visited in the UK & EU, workers are protected and looked after, plus we're supporting UK manufacturing mainly. So not sure I agree with "way overpriced", especially as I know the time and effort that goes in, the near impossibility of getting as few as 50 made, and the fact we need to make a living. I think what you mean is you don't want to pay that, which is entirely reasonable, but just wanted to explain why we price as we do and that it's a fair price for a niche, well made product that's available in limited numbers. Cheers Reuven

    No, we're not :-)

    Hi mate, None of our hats cost that much! These will be about £22.90 plus shipping (£3.50 UK & £10 EU/ROW). Checkout what we have at footballbobbles.com :-) Cheers R
