Football Shirt Prices

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The claret shorts were just cos Fulham wore white....

Why were the shorts a different shade of claret to the shirts?

Over priced for me too. Especially because the material seems pretty poor. They say it's mesh woven to draw moisture away from the body or some crap like that but I wear training tops a lot of the time for running and training and they feel better than wearing a football shirt.

The last one I bought was the carling cup final one. As I liked the design of the old acorns one and wanted a momento for going to wembley on my birthday.

dont think they were just think it may be the players wit wet tops makingit look that way

Im looking to maybe post something regarding what clubs should do what would be classed as reasonable? what do you think the club should charge for a shirt?

£25 I reckon, £45 for home and away.

£30 maximum.

[Yossarian]

Just another way for clubs to fleece their fans.

[ss222]

I agree I think £30 most is something clubs should be looking at. Ive also looked at the wage bill at Villa and wonder if you think it has any correlation. Wage bill being high meaning no chance of shirt prices coming down any time soon. Something I have discussed but it would be interesting to guage fan reaction on that

Cos Nike are shit at getting things right for us - last season's fiasco an even better example!
I agree with Rip VF - forget the replica stuff and go retro: I love my 57 Cup winners striped shirt and I wear my 82 Champions of Europe shirt to almost every home game. The Mrs got me the Acorns one about 3 years ago as an early Christmas pressie and I wear that now and again. As someone else said I think the kids' shirts are pretty good value cos they wear them so much and they're easy to look after. £25 should be about right for the kids.

I prefer the retro kits aswell. Love my '82 top.

[Toronto Villa]

Said it a million times, retro is the way to go. I love my '57 and '82 tops. I'm going to get another this Christmas too, not sure what year though. As a club, I hope we go to something completely different next year, maybe Adidas or Puma. I love some of their designs. Keep the home simple, but the away and/or third can have a little creativity.

[ss222]

retro is definately the way to go. A better designed shirt that will never date, looks better too and different, also avoids fiasco's with poor kits, or with stupidly delayed kits, like Villa's shirt last year cheers for the feedback guys,

I wish for the day when it becomes unfashionable to wear a replica shirt.

for adults, oh, it is!

[ss222]

Yeah I think retro is the way to go for many people at the moment especially as the price is now £30. Something I think i could write about also thanks

[Dave Cooper please]

Ooh, trying to be sneaky eh?
Two posts and both promoting your blog.
In before the lock!

He's asked permission now Dave, so is OK.  Although I hope that every single post won't be promoting the blog.....

Okay, my apologies and all that.
