villa4europe Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 RRP of £90 for the match day shirt or £60 for the fan one, no way am i paying £60 a football shirt so unless sports world do something special i wont be getting that one either seems strange that a lot of the criticisms about umbro's simple shirts is now a compliment to these nike ones... its better than the last home, worse than the last away IMO portugal away - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Those shirt prices are a total piss take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Add those multi coloured crosses to that England home shirt and its the same as the umbro one from a few years ago. Same lighter shade of blue too. Crooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2014 White shirt, blue shorts. Not sure what else they can do to be honest. It's fine. The plain umbro one (the one with the collar) was the best kti we'd had for years. Simple is better. Nothing wrong with that Nike one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that Nike one agree, that was a shirt that was comfortable and stylish enough to wear out and about, the one that every man and his dog seemed to own and happily wear, i for one didnt want to lose umbro, thought they'd had 4/5 really good home and away shirts on the trot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2014 That shirt with the tiny coloured crosses on the back was awful though. It looked like colourful stars from a distance. Bit silly. But yeah, especially their most recent ones I thought Umbro kits were pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Apparently fifa requested new shirts for the world cup and to only use single colours to help refs still doesn't excuse the price though, mass produced they must cost a few quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah the price is another argument altogether. But football shirts have always been ridiculously overpriced. It's not like Nike have just invented this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Shirts have often had RRP's around the £44.99 mark for ages. Not sure why on earth Nike think they can justify a doubling of that? Maybe they are under pressure from Mike Ashley as he wants to include in one of the weekly 80% sales at Sports Direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 We the £90 discussion some pages back, the only one I've ever seen on sale was in a zenit saint petersburg club shop, the difference is nuts, different design, material, badge, rubber vent things all over it, the likes of sports world wont touch the £90 match day shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah the £90 is a player issue version. The standard replica is £60 (which is still extortionate, but about as extortionate as other football shirts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sports World have them for pre-order at £49.99, still a tad pricey but I guess the 'early adopters' will pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I can't be arsed getting England shirts anymore. Just need to get hold of an 82 one and I won't need to get one again. it's a beaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I just don't get a grown man wearing a replica England footy top out and about. Why would you do that? I will wear a Villa top to the gym or to play footy and, at a stretch, when I go to a game, but to wear it as a casual top baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I've had a few England shirts over the years, they all manage to get some small stain bang on the middle which won't wash out so I never wear again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
