Expression of Interest In New Vikings Players Socks

Hello all 

Just a follow up on our recent email relating to our two new playing sock designs that Tuggeranong Vikings Baseball Club are keen to order for the 2017-18 season.

We are keen to finalise our order as soon as possible to ensure our socks will arrive early in our season. To that end please place your order as soon as possible, as the manufacturer requires minimum numbers. They are good quality socks which are currently being used in the Australian Baseball League. As 2018 is also our 40th Anniversary year, purchasing a pair of socks would be a worthwhile momento of our club. 

Once the club has an indication of the numbers required a price can be set, but at this stage price is in the vicinity of $25 to $30 per pair.

Please contact me at bdsherer@iinet.net.au nominating your size, numbers and contact details.

Regards

Brad Sherer
