The statement comes days after it emerged that some officials had already started selling club’s merchandise ahead of season kick-off. Mule has now urged fans to remain patient as the club works out on ways to secure merchandise for members at a reasonable price and of good quality.
“There have been ongoing plans to secure merchandise but following suspicions surrounding presence of some unsanctioned replicas that have purportedly been imported into the country, the plans have been put on hold until investigations have been carried out on the same.

“A report of the unsanctioned replicas has been made to the anti-counterfeit authority and to the CID for investigations and apprehension of those involved. The merchandize will therefore, be procured once all this has been cleared by the authorities to the satisfaction of the committee.
