Who got the short straw with the bedside cabinets?The full set from China for less than £60

I understand too.I am not condoning nor condemning here, but £70 is pretty expensive so I understand why anyone would do this.
I'm not sure about this 'falling apart' bit.I understand too.
£70 is a hell of a lot of money for something that probably costs less than £10 to make but we have a choice whether we buy or not. I stand by my point that the club lose out if we don’t buy official merch, but like you, I understand why some by the cheap stuff for £15, even if it falls apart after a few washes.
And the other downside is, of course, that you’ve your ‘hard earned’ to some Chinese swindler instead of the club you love.
Is that the taken from a shirt purchased from the club or from a “players” shirt ?Not chiming in on the knockoff debate, I have my share of hooky shoes from China, but just saying that the legit kit has rubber nike ticks and badge. How much you care about that is how much you'd rather have £55 in your back pocket I guess.

Just a regular shirt from the club. I bought one for me and my nephew, my one is unprinted so it showed up last week, his one not dispatched at all yet.Is that the taken from a shirt purchased from the club or from a “players” shirt ?
Did you buy 2 pairs?A while back I went to Shanghai on a jolly and amongst other things I bought some leather Adidas golf shoes
I agree to a certain extent, however when there is no stock for any shirt at all, and no information when there might possibly be more I understand to a much higher extent. If there was available stock of all shirts and sizes in store and online there would be a much higher degree of “loyalty”. Once those options have been taken away it’sa different story.I understand too.

So are those pics from the the shirt you purchased? Interesting about the Nike tick and the badge- here is the pic from the club - looks more like the Chinese version than the pic you posted ??Just a regular shirt from the club.

It was obviously a while back as I bought a ground breaking 128Gb USB stick which turned out to be full of malware, which was contained.Did you buy 2 pairs?
Yeh, they're from my shirt. I was surprised when I saw they were rubber so I took some pics to post to the BHAFC reddit. They're really nice.So are those pics from the the shirt you purchased?

Nobody’s bit, it’s a tap inDid you buy 2 pairs?
In contrast to the club (all clubs) and Nike swindling the supporters considering the cost?
Not to mention the human rights issues and sweatshops directly associated with Nike.
Likely to be the same factory.Sillly thought of the day... I wonder which sweatshop is worse -- the one Nike used to make our Europa shirt or the one that made the Chinese knock-off?

Thursday's downpour would have been a good testAs someone who has had a few of these in the past albeit not Albion ones, they look good but they fall apart after a few washes
Didn’t go to planNobody’s bit, it’s a tap in
I have seen the "no shirts of any size or design (home, away, third)" line several times now but I dont understand this. I am in Churchill Sq on average once a week, sometimes twice and usually have a quick look in the Albion shop, and not once have I been in there and found no shirts at all. There are usually a rack of home and away shirts of varying sizes, and on matchdays, I see people coming out of the stadium shop with shirts. They may not always have every size in every design but ZERO shirts ?I agree to a certain extent, however when there is no stock for any shirt at all, and no information when there might possibly be more I understand to a much higher extent. If there was available stock of all shirts and sizes in store and online there would be a much higher degree of “loyalty”. Once those options have been taken away it’sa different story.
