Just to clear this up - from the sources I've spoken to - 'NOT A PENNY' from a shirt sale from an independent retailer goes to the club.
Adidas have paid the sportswear sponsorship deal, and I happen to think that it's important to the long term future of the club.
Now, some have decided they don't want any official merchandise, but from a personal point of view I have absolutely no problem with anyone buying the new shirts, as long as they didn't buy them from the club. (Because the club make the 'retail' profit that would normally go to a shop)
The people I won't take lessons from are people who refuse to buy a shirt then hand £40 a week in a ticket to the club for a ticket.
That is hypocrisy of the highest order.
And I'm sorry to say, but if I see anybody in the 'fans shirt' at the match then I am going to assume they are a complete dickhead.
