Tell me about it! I saw one for 70p recently!!

Dont understand why people are getting so wound up by the price. People on twitter saying its a disgrace. The kit is made by Nike, therefore you have to take that into account. What club we are or what league we are in is irrelevant. Its an item of clothing and as its Nike you pay Nike prices. If you dont want to pay the price then dont, but i really dont see what the fuss is all about.

Unfortunately it's not. It's all about money.

£40 seems to be the going rate, unless you are Wimbledon. Is £4 worthy of a boycott?
An email to the club may be in order though, they didn't set the price but must have some influence and should know if people are unhappy.
£4 wouldnt put me off, but it not great seeing ours as the 2nd most expensive shirt from the ones Ive checked.

The only thing that should be affected by price is this really. If we were paying the same price to watch southend as arsenal i could totally see why people would argue the case. Not for an item if branded clothing.

Are tops cheap ? Bayern Munich shirts are 60 euros by look of it.

The new Bayern shirt is 80 euros for adults, go to Australia and you'll be paying $120+ .... £44 doesn't sound too bad now.

If that is our away kit, I'd pay £100 quid for it haha

£44 equates to 55 euros and 79 Aus Dollars. The Bayern and Australian shirts are more expensive equivalent wise. I guess you need to take into account the cost of living and average wage in each of these countries to get a true reflection

To be honest it will probably make the difference for me in terms of whether I buy it or not.
Not certain I can adequately articulate the reason but yeah, that's where I am.

Germans work less hours for more money on average so it's swings and roundabouts, however if our new shirt has Martin Dawn on it then I will 100% not be buying it

not neceserrillay. Many Prem kits are bespoke designs, so the prices should be higher, while many League 2 kits will be generic templates, so should be cheaper.
Just be glad we're not i the Spanish lower divisions! In addition to Culteral Leonesa's Tuxedo kits, here's the new home & away kits from CD Lugo...

That's absolutely disgraceful. If the club tried to palm that first one off on us I'd ask for a top up.
It's called head not shoulders.

Just to clarify about the shirts, the price is not actually set by the club. It's done by the company who own the club shop.
I seem to recall that you can buy that kit template for like £18 from the Nike store.

Thats retail outlets for you, they want to make money.
Dont forget they still have to put the badge and sponsor on, and this might be me making stuff up but I heard the Martin Dawn logo is going to be gold plated.
