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.

Nope, OP is repeating a statement from the club. It is so absurd that embellishment is unnecessary.

You only get a seasons wear out of a home kit or the Euro kit so I don't see what difference it makes.

That said, he wore it on his Park run this morning so it will definitely have more sweat on it than one worn by the man himself.

Coming next 'if you are wearing previous year's kit, or have ex-players' names on the back you may be asked to leave....'

I just hope that the Police Massive don’t start smashing in doors to check for other counterfeit goods from Wednesday such as this

Not sure which side I'm on here. I'll have a think, get off the fence, and then be outraged with all who disagree with me

It's what the Uyghur children imprisoned in Chinese sweatshops would want, fella. Keeps them in bowls of gruel, and better they get rewarded than the South-East Asian orphans working 12 hour shifts for Nike eh? You'd object to the obscene prices of the genuine shirts if any of it was ethically made, but the fact that it isn't just beggars belief, the profit margins. What would they be charging if these genuine Nike shirts were made ethically, £250 per shirt? The sooner we stop supporting the whole industry the better, but easier to turn a blind eye seemingly.

Are we not paid a handsome sum from Nike to wear their shirts? Perhaps that should come into the equation.

The manufacturers lose money on the big contracts, adidas pay Manchester United £90m a year plus the above split

What next? Unofficial half-and-ha!f scarves sold by the cheeky Scouser chappies at the station perhaps?

'Sorry loyal supporter, you can't come in unless you have a receipt for that scarf from the club shop.'

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).

Edit. I was asking if you knew the Albion margin, and you answered it soon after your post. Around £15. Thanks @El Presidente

Whilst not condoning the makers of these I really dont blame anybody for buying as price of shirts are a rip off and especially unfair to families with children. Huge incomes to PL clubs hence so oten reason for increasing membership numbers and pre season tours. etc
