No way they can enforce it but spose a way of deterring a few people

Could be a lot worse if they send a Stone Island Rep down to Hillsborough

Appreciate English is not your first language but can you please refrain from repeated use of "retarded". Thanks.
For a moment, I was convinced that it was 1st April today.
What an absurd idea by the club.

Is that actually true about the Uyghur kids? I know the Chinese have concentration camps for those poor people. Also I would very much doubt that the shirts are costly to design and make. It is pure profiteering whether the shirt is £65, £125 or £250.

It’s not illegal. Entry into the ground is under rules they are free to create themselves providing they are not in any way discriminatory. Everyone is being treated equally so there is no law being broken.
How the f*** they are going to police and enforce this rule however seems pretty much impossible. Are they going to have someone checking the label of everyone arriving at the game in a replica shirt? Good luck getting in before the full time whistle Massive fans.

Nice sensationalist headline by the OP. A complete non story. I'll wager not a single person will be "kicked out". There might be a few quiet words re "next time" but come on you think the club will turf out little kids at the actual game ? OP is fishing.

What a load of tosh! As long as what you're wearing isn't offensive I don't see how they can?

Perhaps they sold out instantly and there were none left?
Cost of producing 'official' club shirts is probably about three quid. Add shipping costs - being generous five quid. How clubs think they should be
able to rip people off at over fifty pounds a shirt astonds me. Not helped by the likes of Nike and co. Absolute rip off.

I'm confused. What is your knowledge of the people making the fake shirts compared to the people making the real ones? I genuinely have no real knowledge of this, but my guess would be it's not much different to the ones working for Nike, or more likely it's probably the same people. If I am supporting any more / worse slave labour than I already would be by buying the originals, then I'll stop.
(Although it's a bit late this time, I've just bought 2 full home kits and 2 full away kits with names and numbers on all for £70.)

The irony being the solicitor will charge the cost of an official shirt, per hour.
Watched a documentary years ago about factories in Asia making t-shirts for primark and Nike Adidas etc,same material and quality but different prices.

Did some work for one of the kit manufacturers who was pitching for a club contract. Cost of producing an adult shirt £10-12. Then everyone, including the government with VAT, takes a slice.
The Albion effectively charge more for kids kits (£55. No VAT) than for adults (£65, which is £54.16 + VAT).

If it is Manchester City’s 115 charges KC it takes him 23 seconds to earn the money to buy a shirt.
£10-£12 to make a shirt sounds a lot. Surprised by that. Did they get the contract?
