25th July 2013.....PRESS RELEASE RE: AFC REPLICA JERSEYS. Following successful elections and seamless transition of office, the new AFC Leopards National Executive Committee has embarked on various measures aimed at transforming the club into a professionally run and profitable outfit. As both a marketing and revenue generating venture, the AFC Leopards replica jersey, and being the highest ranked merchandizing item, has been accorded due attention. Reason why the process of procuring the 2013 season kit, albeit belatedly, for both home and away is being expedited with the view to availing the same to expectant AFC supporters in under one month from to date. The portfolio will include men, ladies and kids wear in assorted sizes to satisfy the diverse AFC market. In order to ensure fair distribution of the same, the jerseys will be distributed through registered branch network with branches allowed to pre-buy and resale the items at a reasonable mark-up. To cater for the larger fan base, a credible distribution network is being setup to take the prized item to a store near every fan countrywide. As we await the arrival of the jerseys, we call upon true lovers of this great club to refrain from dealing in any illegal and unauthorized merchandise including counterfeit jerseys. And to ensure compliance, plans are at an advanced stage to set up an anti-counterfeit committee that will check on infringement on the club’s trademarks and intellectual property rights. On other merchandising items, plans are underway to start licensing interested partners to procure and distribute the same under the supervision of the club. Details of the licensing regime will be announced in due course so that interested parties can apply. Regards, Richard Ekhalie, Ag. CEO AFC Leopards SC.
