    You need a squash racket to pay squash, you don’t need a replica kit to sit and eat a pie!

    Replica is fine for kids and ****agers but FFS.......to see middle aged and old blokes in replica is something I find just plain sad.

    This s h I t costs around £6-£7 to produce and sells at £50........it’s an absolute rip off.

    Sweaty, unbreathable clothing.......absolutely horrible.

    Wear a bun liner, vastly cheaper to buy and you’ll smell just the same at the end of the game.
    I don’t doubt some people r making a killing on shirts, but anything branded is sold at inflated prices (or more than the sum of its parts right?) or to encourage some sort of brand loyalty

    I think you should be allowed your opinion, but telling people to get an effing life might just be overstepping the mark

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.

    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.

    I tend to wear an Albion branded polo shirt or jumper to the match and my lad wears one of his replica shirts, I personally think wearing a replica shirt to a game helps with the atmosphere, certainly at away games anyway. As a lad not wearing a replica shirt or scarf to away games marked you out as fair game, ‘shirters’ always got left alone and casuals diddn’t.

    I wear Albion shirts to games, when watching games in front of telly, and, sometimes when exercising (at futsal this Sunday eg).

    And sometimes when out walking in Cornwall for instance, and then always receive positive comments when people realise I am a foreigner, not wearing a United (or similar ”big gun club”) shirt. 😎

    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!

    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!

    Maybe you should try growing a sense of humour and learn not to be so easily disappointed in people.

    You must look absolutely awesome as you command the pitch on a Sunday night, why not post us a few YouTube clips!
