Not having a pop at you but I genuinely am confused by people complaining about the price.
On one hand everyone wants us to spend on transfers and build new stands and build onto our training ground, but then they also don't want the shirts to be expensive.
I mean, we either want to make a lot of money on our kit deal or we want cheap kits and gear?
I think it’s because the kits were generally around £40-50, this years kit is a significant increase in price and whilst I understand your point completely, it’s not ideal for people who perhaps struggle for money or have kits to buy for each of their kids etc.
Nike were always going to sell a lot more of our shirts than NB, especially with the likes of Lebron James helping to push it. IMO we would have still have made a sh*t tonne of money off this kit deal so it doesn’t justify the significant increase in price.
Especially when you take into account people that will want to have the home, away and the 3rd top too, that’s £210 worth of shirts for one person alone.
People with say 2 children, £50 a top, that’s £300 to get both kids all 3 tops.
With lots of people struggling or seeing a significant reduction to their income this year, if anything it could hamper the number of sales by hiking up the price.
I’m sure the owners are financially sound enough to have been able to contribute to transfer funds etc with the prices kept at what they previously were.
