£90 for a Nikefootball shirt
- Thread starter studio150
- Start date
I wonder how much of the £90 the 8 year old which made the shirt gets?

I assume that the price is set so high as they pay decent liveable wages, healthcare needs and insurance to all of their workforce.

The last England shirts I liked were the 2010 ones, I had both home and away but both got ruined in the wash after the Mrs put them in the wash with new black jeans!

Such a joke to be charged this amount, stan collymore is doing a great part on talksport. He is so angry about it. Making a good show.
If you want a nicely tailored footy shirt to fit your timbre and moobs then purchasing the Rooney spec shirt will be £90 well spent surely?

My favourite bit in the BBC article is where the bloke argues that there should be a 'best before' date on the kits so that fans can make a choice based on whether it will be around long. Is anyone seriously thick enough not to realise that as soon as the next tournament starts there will be a new shirt? Deserve to get ripped off if they don't! Also someone moaning about how expensive it would be to buy shirts for multiple kids - seriously, does anyone really think it's necessary to kit your entire family out in up to date replica England shirts? Again, deserve to get ripped off through the roof.

Think England change their kit every two years anyway, have done so for years.

If only. Here is a list of the most recent one year wonders;
88-89
93-94
95-96
09-10
12-13
13-14 (the first Nike one)
But then you had:
74-80 (6 years)
80-83 (3 years)
84-87 (3 years)
The others have all been for 2 years.

What, he's spent an entire section of his show moaning about the fact that a standard replica shirt will cost pretty much exactly the same as it usually does?
Seems a fairly crap argument to have on a radio show.
Oh, you mean this £90 myth that all the tabloids seem to be peddling. My bad. Well, Stan's.

It was about the cost and how they could have 2 different shirts, was very interesting. If you can get the show from last night it is worth listening too.
But I was saying to my friend the other day that some teams, for example man utd already have this out there.
It was just interesting to listen to and I'm just shocked they can sell it for that much. I will be buying one when it comes down ALOT.
He's a fine one to talk.

It's always been the same, nothing has changed only they've made it easier for people to buy the shirts the players wear. Look at American sports and you will see about 3 types of "Jersey" $60 $90 and $130
Nike are just cashing in on the people that want the authentic jerseys, mainly collectors. You won't see the £90 in sports direct

Just some food for thought.
If you go into town looking for a Hugo Boss shirt, how much will that cost?
Why isn't that in the news?
