Tinmans Love Child Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 A full kit must be about the same price as our season tickets! Crazy cost but if people still keep paying it then they will keep charging it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Anybody else sometimes wonder if it would have been better if they’d just b******** off to the Super League and not come back?

Simon bristol Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 If they were to keep the kits for 2 seasons that would be a decent gesture to the supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KegCity Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The Arsenal shirt is £70, with £5 of that going to community charities in North London. Pretty sure most Premier League clubs offer an "Authentic" shirt for £100 thats just there to con people out of money. Our kit is no longer on the website to purchase (new kit soon?) but was around £50-£55 if I remember rightly? A £15 increase for a considerably bigger club with probably a better quality shirt (all the Hummel stuff I've bought has felt pretty cheap) doesn't seem that crazy to me. Sadly that's the way it is now. I'd rather spend the money on a retro shirt but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 To me, the more important point here is where the childrens kit price point is. I’ve not bought a replica shirt for years, and there’s something slightly disturbing about overweight middle aged men trying to squeeze themselves into replica kits. Each to their own though! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadredfred Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 They'll make them that expensive because people will still pay it. It's a generational thing as much as anything I think. There's 11 years between me and my brother (36/25) and he wouldn't bat an eyelid at spending £60-£80 on a t-shirt. All our first cars were 4th/5th hand, high mileage corsa's, clio's, fiesta's and mini's. All his mates first cars are A-Class's and 1-Series. I know it makes me old, and I don't get it. But I'm glad I don't get it. £100 for a football shirt is madness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car thing is crazy, I guess for people in their 20’s still live at home as impossible to get on the housing ladder so spend their cash on a ridiculous finance arrangement to buy a car instead!

Also no sponsor so would point to this. The reason for these colours is because of the Saudi Arabia connection (sorry should have been clearer, I copied the pic from bbc website so its being reported there as genuine at least), point is when the new owners do things like this it becomes even more blatant how they have sold their soul for money. Not quite as bad as Vincent Tan changing the Cardiff home shirt colours and sticking malaysia as the sponsor but we are talking on that scale which isn't good, be interesting who the sponsor turns out to be and whether the saudi connection will be on that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a football shirt after all for wearing to matches not for restaurant dining. At least it seems to make it to the shop on time, unlike when we had Adidas who only provided a pattern shirt with a stuck on sponsor and badge and didn't deliver some sizes until March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem would be we’d already have a new “big 4” gunning for a place in the “to be expanded Super League”. Newcastle, West Ham, Everton, Villa and their (mainly) foreign owners would all be claiming to be massive and throwing money around. Money will one day bring football crashing down… I’m not sure when but I’m sure it will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
