[Football] Sheffield Wednesday to kick out fans from stadium wearing fake shirts

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Surprised by the outcry here. After the surge in fakes in the last 12 months I'm surprised there hasn't been more clamping down on it.

 

[Flounce]

For an £65 Albion shirt it works out along the followino lines
VAT £11
Production cost £12
Licencing £5 (to club)
Retailer £16
Manufacturer profit £16
Marketing £3
Distribution £2

Thanks for explaining that so briefly PB

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

£10-£12 to make a shirt sounds a lot. Surprised by that. Did they get the contract?

It’s what the kit brand (can’t say which one) paid the manufacutter to whom it outsourced production

 

[Triggaaar]

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 not to whom. When it's relating to Sheffield Wednesday, twit, to who


Gotta love getting on the beers early on a Saturday. I'll get my coat.

But manafacutter goes without censure!

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.

I bet you are fun at parties

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

' I'm too MASSIVE for my shirt , too MASSIVE for my shirt, so MASSIVE it hurts '

brilliant

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.'

 

[el punal]

It’s easy to tell the difference, the official shirts come in S, M, L, XL and MASSIVE. The knock off jobs just can’t compete.

Sorry, I almost replicated your post without looking - massive apologies.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

To be fair, in Germany this summer the same rules applied. There was a warning about wearing fake shirts with the threat of ejection and fines of thousands of pounds.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

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
