Nice call bringing in Puma! Definitately need new gear!!! Someone pM me when they know where to get it. thanks MM
Hi all, I know I've been quiet for a while and I promise to post information. However, I we have still not finalized some things yet and I do not want to post information that may not be 100% correct. Also, I have been out of the inside (of Puma) loop. I will try to get hard facts and post sometime next week. The other issue is that I'm trying to persuade our marketing department to see the value of being an FChat sponsor so that I can post commercially. There really is a lot of information that I can post but I don't want to push the boundaries by just being a subscriber. Just be a little more patient. It will be worth it. Theo
Collector Studio in Canada just emailed out an extensive inventory.........HTH. I've done business with them on FILA items...........
http://www.cstudio.net/ doesn't seem to have more than one PUMA item. am i just missing something on their site? doody.
He recently emailed me an extensive list........ I did some business with him on FILA stuff last year.....
Here I printed it out....Puma gear, $$$ are Canadian, and from my experience exclude shipping, customs, and some other details! caps $325 jackets $1995 shirts $995 t shirts $245 fleece pullovers $1245 polos $595 Looks like his FILA stuff is on sale, for less....... Being official is never cheap....

These items are not the replica product we are selling this spring (it has the Marlboro labels on it and ours do not). They must have gotten it from someone inside the F1 team. I brought this up the VP of sales and he told me that Ferrari is not supposed to sell their items given to them by Puma. He will bring this to our legal department for immediate attention!!!! Theo P.S. Just wait until March and you can buy all our replica stuff at reasonable cost (and lower if you are a member of some Ferrari groups - more to come).
No offense Theo, but the request was for real teamware...it does come from inside the F1 organization, as opposed to retail outlets.... I've lost family to lung cancer so I'm not anxious to advertised for Marlboro. It is was it is........ Big "It's smokey in Houston"Tex Looking forward to seeing your retail line...........bring it on!.
Those auctions are two different sellers????? Both in Canada. You get hit with customs is the only rub for US sales...........
So Theo, YOU are gonna track all these guys down and kill them????? I don't recall Tommy Hilfiger and FILA doing this. Do you think that is such a good Public Relations move with the members here??????
Where do you think all those REAL helments come from? I saw Morry (Collector's Studio) walking thru Gasolinie Alley carrying one in Indy. Cash talks........things get "lost".........
I'm only issue I/Puma sees is the reselling of official Puma Scuderia Ferrari teamware. Again, from what I have been told, Ferrari is not supposed to allow anyone, even Ferrari, to sell Puma stuff. The products for sale on the website is the real authentic product and not the replica product we will be selling in our retail stores, online stores and Ferrari Authorized dealers. I also informed our CFO about this (he's also a Scuderia Ferrari fan) so we'll see what comes out of it. Theo
Right now it looks like this is the only Puma stuff they have. So it may now be a non issue. But, I am inquiring more as we speak! Theo
Good luck! The stuff is issued to the crew/team members....what they do with it is up to them...Ferrari has little control if they end up selling some of it...You would have to serial number each piece for it to be trackable. That or permanently monogram each piece with the crew member name
Like on this tag right here?????? Don't give him 'traceability' ideas!!!!!!! They'll put those "pet chips' hidden in them....... *shutting mouth*
Good luck is right! No one is getting back to me on this inside Puma sos I guess they don't care much about it. Unfornutely, the new Ferrari line is on a lower pecking order than their other lines (soccer, running, baseball,etc.). I did send the company an email and they gave me a list of stuff! Theo
