£73 for an Everton Shirt

[jsweeney17]

I hate to say it but I quite like the model they use for NFL clubs in the U.S.
We needed to buy a nephew a birthday present right around the time of the superbowl and he is a big fan of some big geezer who throws the rugby ball for some team with a crazy name. The real deal was only available through the club and cost $225 with embroidered badges and name etc. (You can buy a knock off direct form china for about $100 too).
they also sell through the NFL a replica Jersey which is different material and the number is printed ($100), and finally they sell a Premier version which is available lots of places where all the artwork is printed ($50).

You can buy the lowest level shirt replica's in the supermarket or at Walmart for $25.
So pretty much everyone, old /young, rich/poor, male/female gets to own at least one of their favorite team shirts... we had a NFL day at work and pretty much everyone showed up in one or another team shirt!

i bet most of the people hardly ever went to a game but the consumption machine keeps churning and the licensing money keeps coming in.

A LINK AND PIC MAYBE AS PROOF ?

It's a ludicrous cartel, they did an investigation into it but nothing has changed. These shirts, when you look at them from a none football fan perspective, which admittedly is hard, are nothing more than cheap, polyester garments with some logos on them - how they can charge £40/50 for them is bizarre, especially when they're only "in fashion" for the length of 1 football season. Worst still is what they charge for shirt printing, 1 pound a letter isn't it? That's just obscene, how on earth can that be justified?

On a separate note, anyone know when the club are bringing out the away (orange) goalie shirt? But odd there's sign of it on the website 2 months into the season. It's the one Howard wore against Villa btw

You shouldn't be chuffed that you're hurting the club you say you support.

well the club badge is embroidered mate so do they just give you a couple of bobbins ?

U sound a bit sore there mate,hope u havent been ripped off,iV looked at a so called real one and my blag one and they are identical,you make the badge sound like its some sort of classy tailorship,everyone knows the shirts cost about 3 quid each to make in s.e Asian sweatshop.

The blag shirts that come from thailand are brilliant, i got a few a couple of seasons ago and next to my mates real one you really cant tell the difference.

 

[Kurt.]

I buy one every season to keep in my collection.........I wait for the sales at Xmas time though so I only pay about 20 quid for them... I don't ( very rarely ) wear them much so It's not a big deal for me having to get one at the start of the season.

Nah mate, you said they bring the badges out and I was just wondering how they do that as it isn't just a badge sewn or ironed on. I've not been ripped off for a couple of seasons as I have refused to buy them at full whack. It started when they started bringing out unrequired away strips, and bringing out a 3rd and not wearing the 2nd again despite it not clashing. it's called taking the piss out of us and is known as a 'John Hall Strategy.'

Are you taking the piss, the club are ripping of the fans so it the club own fault.
