    No advice but why do the beast sizes of XL XXL plus cost the same as a mere medium like myself? I mean those XL sizes use twice the amount of material

    The material is dirt cheap; Lai wants your money, though………..

    In my opinion stuff the club sell tends to be a size smaller than the equivalent on the high street, certainly shirts and jumpers/hoodies..

    I can never fathom grown men and especially elderly men wearing replica shirts.

    They look ridiculous in them and I don’t think they understand how bad they smell in them on a hot day.

    Sweating like a scouser in a job centre in a piece of material that cost £1.50 to produce!

    Get a f u c k I n g life!

    I ain't got a problem with blokes old or young wearing a shirt to a match especially on a nice warm sunny day when you don't need a coat etc because a shirt has really replaced the old scarf and hat of old. But I have to admit I think blokes walking around Tesco or wherever on a weekday morning wearing a replica shirt look bloody stupid. I remember one day in Asda seeing this chap who must have been a pensioner at the very least, wearing a Vile shirt, shorts and bloody socks. He looked a total tw*t pushing the trolley with his Mrs. It did not help that it was a Vile kit but it would not matter if it was Albion or Wulfs.

    J'm afraid that the same problems arise with ordinary T-shirts and polo shirts. Sizes vary from company to company and then you have the problems of classic fit, slim fit etc. It's the same with trousers. I'm a 34" waist but buy 32" waist. There's no way I'm a 32" but I think that they label them smaller to make you feel better. The only way to get the right size is to try items on.

    I sort of agree with this; wearing a replica shirt to a match is one thing but out and about in town, supermarket, pubs, etc is in my opinion, a bit naff. Each to his own, though.

    Well how f u c k i n g rude!!!

    I asked for an opinion on shirt sizing, not my fashion sense & how my life is going!

    This is the first time I have been disappointed in someone's response on this site.
    Maybe you should examine your own life & not be a keyboard warrior!!

    Not that it's any of your business, but I want the tops as I live on a small Island & can't get to the games very often. I also like to wear it when I play 6-a side on a Sunday night.

    Thanks to those who responded with an decent comment or in defence!
