£99 for a kit + socks and printing! :shock:

I appreciate there are commercial considerations and other clubs are even higher prices, but an awful lot of people are going to say ‘no thank you!’ this season; particularly those with more than one child to consider :cry:

Absolute and complete rip off.

Feel sorry for all parents whose kids will be pestering them for the new kit.

Best way to protest of course is not to buy it.

If I buy a shirt it’s always at the end of season in the sale.

Turkey & Portugal are Castore's primary European manufacturing hubs for their higher-end garments, using premium fabrics. Several European club kits are sourced here due to the regions' historic expertise in high-quality textile production

China & Southeast Asia (e.g., Thailand, Vietnam) produce a significant portion of mass-produced replica kits. Team fanwear is outsourced to factories across Asia to handle the immense volume required for major football clubs.

All that suggests the players shirts are quality, whilst the shirts on the paying supporters backs are (shall we say) of lesser quality (not necessarily poor)

Football is being taken away from the working class. These are scandalous prices! The games gone imo.

Daylight robery,it is not like they are well made,
I only buy shirts or shorts when the are reduced at the end of the season.

While we have that worm on the badge, I would not accept one if it was Free

And they are always cheaply made

Its a sh1te kit, end of.
Absolute shame. Our commercial dept need to wake the fk up and start to respect loyal, paying fans.
Its a really poor effort,almost throwaway and is disrespectful ultimately.
