Costs £4 to make in Indonesia, and the factory workers get 30p an hour. They could be sold at a good profit margin for £10!I read this in the Sunday paper (Express I think). What a bloody rip off country is this?

Similarly you can buy a brand new 4 series BMW for £ 30,000 - £40,000 new , or a perfectly decent 5 year old motor from the auctions and still manage to stay dry driving to work. The scenery and mundane journey will be exactly the same but you will have saved yourself a fortune....  Now what was the morality of this case...? |

As Gorilla shows you can buy a Bayern Munich season ticket for £104. Bit too far to go to watch a match though (unless you live in Munich).

I for one won't be buying one Looking at how muscly you are in your forum profile picture I think you'd rip the seams of the shirt. Better not get one  Regarding fake shirts, if you're getting one of them. Be careful. The Thai ones are the best ones I've read, Dunna buy any old shite. |

It's ok.. they're justifying it by stating that some of the proceeds are going into funding grass roots football. That's ok then?  |

At the end of the day they can only charge these obscene prices because some people are stupid enough to pay them.
Why anyone would pay £90 for a football top is absolutely beyond my comprehension.
It beggars belief.

Now what was the morality of this case...? if you think there is no difference in buying a used car rather than a new car then I would suggest you need help. when buying used beware. you do not know who has driven it or what the previous owners have done with it. |

I am quite comfortable money wise but I will not shell out £90 for a football shirt.

It's not £90 though is it?
The press who have moaned about the pricing have conveniently ignored the availability of a replica shirt at a more normal pricing so they have a good story.
Why the average fan would want an athletic fit match shirt would be beyond me.....

Fair enough. I've done that more than once. Only not with a Nike shirt. Nike don't pay me to advertise their logo for them so I prefer a plain white tshirt. |

Are our replica shirts exactly the same as the ones the players wear? The cheaper England shirt ("The stadium") is not the same as the players wear, for that privelage you pay the 90 quid. |

I guess the argument is that some want to be wearing the same shirt as the player on the pitch. It's wrong to have a two-tiered system. How many of you own an iPhone? You'd be surprised how cheap it costs to make one... stick a fruit on the back of it and boom, the price sky rockets. The world we live in I'm afraid. |

Always better to buy em out of the bargain bins or stock disposal bins for a tenner (or less) immediately after they've been knocked out of any competition they enter these-days I find

Are our replica shirts exactly the same as the ones the players wear? The cheaper England shirt ("The stadium") is not the same as the players wear, for that privelage you pay the 90 quid. The shirts the players wear are always different to the ones we buy. Hence why they are called replica shirts. Do a search on classic football shirts and you will find many 'player issue' shirts for sale that have extra technology built into them that we dont get. Its just that Nike have now decided to sell the player issue shirt if you want one. If it was pay £90 or nothing then i'd agree what a rip off. The truth is that the normal replica shirt is still available at the going rate for shirts these days. Or for a very few supporters who really want the player issue shirt then the option is now there for them. Consider that pretty much the only way we can get hold of a player issue Stoke shirt, is if you bid on one of the poppy shirts they auction off every year. And those go for anything between £100 to £400 odd. Its just another nothing story blown up by the media. |
