Xandra Troyski, in her rookie enthusiasm of being part of the Tijuana Luchadores, felt that the teams mech options were lacking and they were failing to really capitalize on the market at stake. Being from historically temperate places, however, she made a really egregious error in pitching a whole line of merch to the sales and marketing team that did not go over well in the Mexican, Southern US, and Central American markets. She came up with her plan right after she was drafted and had not yet relocated, this past spring. There weren’t any products she could use to display her team pride because the weather in Boston is always so wet until June. So, she decided the team needed inclement weather gear - umbrellas (who ever has an umbrella handy when they need one? You really can’t have enough), rain slickers, and galoshes. Unfortunately, she spent a ton of money having the prototypes made, as they were one of a kind and you don’t get the discounts you would normally get when buying in bulk. So, she showed up to the meeting she scheduled with the marketing team during her first week down in Tijuana, and realized the error of her ways. It’s so hot and dry in Mexico, that the core of the market would have very little use for these products. Only the foreign fans would, and they were a small minority of the overall fanbase. At least Xandra could gift all the prototypes to family and friends back in the Northeast, where they would be put to good use.
