Musonye has proposed that the executive should relinquish the mandate of selling shirts, saying there should be officially recognized shops for the club where fans can purchase Ingwe merchandise.
This he said will block individuals from directly handling the money that should be received into the club's account to help the team in revenue growth.
“When you visit other clubs you will learn that merchandising is the biggest contributor for club revenues which is contrary to AFC Leopards.
“But if you don’t study fans very well then you will eventually miscalculate. When I get a Ksh.2,000 shirt I won’t hesitate to buy it because that’s standard but there are some fans who will want to buy a team scarf to wear on the neck and are not available,” Musonye lamented.
The Leopards diehard fan, who has also declared interest in the club’s chairmanship post, has bemoaned the sorry state of fans from Western, Coast and Central regions who do not have easy access to replicas.
“As we talk right now, it’s not clear where you can get Leopards replica jerseys in Kakamega yet that is our ‘bed room’.
“…..Same narrative in Bungoma, Coast and everywhere in the country.”
Replicas for members go for Ksh 2500 while non-members go for Ksh 3000 charges but Musonye says not all fans can afford.
“We need a t-shirt and when we fan when we go to stadiums you won’t get a t-shirt on a friendly price. Very many team shirts are in stores for lack of better prices.
“When I wear this scarf and go to the venue I will be very proud of that” Musonye added.
Leopards are currently placed sixth in the league standings with 30 points, eight behind joint-leaders Police FC and Tusker who are tied on 38 points.
