Got the same one and thinking the same thing. I compared that to a Chile jersey that was given a couple years ago and looks cheaper.
Overall it looks fine, but was hoping for something of better quality.
For as long as I can remember, there has always been two different qualities; the one that would be classed as “Pro” or whatever they want to call it that essentially matches what the players wear, and then there would be the replica that the majority of people would go and buy in a shop.
This year, the two different options seems to have become a lot more recognised than in previous years. I think the “pro” one has always been expensive but the price has been massively increased for the replica. That’s not just us, that seems to be every team and every manufacturer (aside from probably lower leagues). Though it seems that whilst the price has increased, the quality of replica’s has decreased and it seems to me that they are almost trying to push people into going out and buying the £100 tops. Essentially trying to sell the the approach of the replica being £70 but for just an extra £25-£30 you can get the exact one the players wear and get a much better quality.
Shithouses, each and every club in that regard because in a year that people are already seeing a massive impact on their own personal finances, the clubs are hiking up their own prices and the manufacturers it seems are now getting more money whilst probably spending less going by the quality of materials.
