Daz Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 People have the choice to buy club merchandise or not, and it will be influenced by their personal circumstances. Of course Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Real Madrid children's shirts are cheaper because they benefit from much higher volume and economies of scale in the manufacturing process. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of the above - but what about Huddersfield, Stoke and Bristol City - where is their economy of scale? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I can’t believe how much a kit is for a 5 year old. It’s bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These clubs also have to compete with fake shirts which you can pick up quite easily, especially abroad. Quality of these fake shirts can be quite good too. I've seen a fake version of ours online. They don't usually do clubs outside premier league so they must have seen the number of fans at Wembley and thought that they can make a few quid here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy that £53 for a polyester shirt is seen as not ripping fans off, isn't it? I remember reading an article a few years back which said they cost around £5 to make.

I'm looking at £84 for the junior kit, as my 6 year old has outgrown the infant kits. Just been down to his football training, and most of the other kids are wearing knock-off Argentina, Juventus, Man City, Real Madrid etc. kits which you can apparently get online for around £30. It's tempting to just get him one of them instead, considering he'll have outgrown it again by next summer. I'd much rather see him in a Wednesday kit, but the cost is making me think twice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to get her a new one but not at that price 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok bang a few extra quid on adult shirts fair enough. But £57 for a baby/toddler kit is shocking. We want to see kids running round in Wednesday shirts not Man City/Barca/ or Madrid shirts that you can get for a tenner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy the shirts as I know they are all made in one or two factories under license, just like all clothing! Do you not buy any clothing then?

vontemp Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Been to Meadowhall this morning to get new kits for my 2 lads. Shirts flying off the shelves & people queuing out of the door. Could do with a bigger shop there though, get half a dozen people in & it’s full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOWL Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Maybe it's me that can't change with the times but I'm not keen on the new home shirt,just doesn't look right somehow. Given time maybe..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
