The material is dirt cheap; Lai wants your money, though………..Originally Posted by phild

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!

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.

Don’t you sell sportswear of some description Mick?
Surely all sportswear / equipment involves people trying to emulate their idols being buying a shirt or a set of gold clubs, squash racket etc
Otherwise why would these guys earn more from sponsorships than winnings
Bit harsh of you to say get a life, I don’t think I should have an opinion on what people wear.
People may buy the shirts to show allegiance or to experience some sort of shared goodwill or belonging to something
Most things we buy say something about us, what I’d someone says why the **** have you got a big BMW 4x4 instead of a lada, surely you are trying to say something there right, something about you and your stays in life maybe.
Or why do you wear expensive shoes instead of Tesco’s own brand
Leave em alone, if you don’t want a shirt dont get one

I'm an old git but like to wear my shirt to matches. I don't buy them every year, which I find a ridiculous waste of money.

I don’t sell sportswear......it’s the best way of losing money in the sport’s trade.
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.
