But for the extra £19 you get to wear a shirt that’s not even the proper shirt reyt then You’ve never been able to buy the same shirt that the players wear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebowl Yell Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Only Wednesday fans would complain about a replica shirt costing £59. That’s the going rate these days for a club like ours with expectations for being among the top 10 in England. Either enjoy the ride and get on board or accept you aren’t the type of person that’s wanted at the club anymore, pack it up and go watch non league football where you can be happy there’s no foreigners or diving or rip off replica shirts. Leave the club to the modern fans who will back it properly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have A few years ago on match day, I was in the mega store in a queue, someone official looking came in took a shirt of the rack printed Varney and his number on the back, put them FL badges on the arm and took it out of the shop, presumably for him to wear that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebowl Yell Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Just now, Stoop said: Dem blades £45 And Rovrum is just over £40. We are much bigger clubs than either of those and with increased standing comes increases in value for anything to do with it. For me £40 is way too much a club like Rovrum should be charging for cheap Puma tat with a league 2 Livery but I’d say £59 is about right for a club our size at this moment in time.

Well you have, it's a modern thing, this "breathable fabric" malarkey. Granted it's been a while now, and they've been "replica kits" for years. But £99 is still above the going rate, for such a shirt, and it's listed and a one off price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastleigh Owl Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Hillsborough Mole said: Its not a compulsory purchase pal Not enough kids hear the word "No" these days. Just say no. As someone else has suggested - for a kids shirt footy shirts are excellent value, because of how much wear they get. They're much better value than something you'd buy from Primark even based on a price per wear basis. I heard george hirst has got one, think taking the "price per wear" equation into account it might prove an expensive buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjack27 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Like the design and Chansiri making the change back to stripes. But a 40 quid difference between the options how is this justifiable? Even at 59 this is a steep price for a replica shirt and a huge outlay for many Wednesday supporters including myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Moisture wicking technology is used all over the place. Your socks probably have it in (if you’re wearing socks by a sports brand) I like the move though to add a bit of value and make it limited edition. You know how you lot all talk about how lousy our commercial operations are? Well guess what, creating more value and selling more at full price the way to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to look at it with my own eyes. £69 is expensive already. Buy the 69 quid one 2 sizes too small, hey presto everyone thinks you’ve spent 100 quid on the good one, sorted . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Can’t believe the negativity about the pro fit option. This has become common place at a number of clubs. I personally would not pay £59 for a shirt for myself never mind £99 but the choice is there. Although I do think replica shirts are for kids. The kids shirts are a different matter and should be £30 to £35 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not buying it So because the club decided to move back to a design the fans like we should all be happy enough to pay more than the fans of the vast majority of clubs in this country?

We’re a bigger club than the vast majority of tin pot chowder that props up our league structure. You pay £59 because you are buying a bespoke Wednesday shirt, that’s all there is to it. As an aside, we will see record sales again and we will see fans decked out in this kit come next season. Once people start wearing these tomorrow at Owls in the Park other people will want one and then other people will see those people and want one. This is gonna be an absolute hit. Mr C didn’t have to give us stripes back but he did because he is an owner who cares about his fanbase, so why not show your appreciation and buy a kit for you and your kids in the comming weeks.
