Snowflake Royal RoyalBlue Hendo Yeah, I don't think the problem is the price of our shirt - it's the price of football shirts overall.
I hope kit pricing isn't one of the US business models that our new owners will be adopting.
If you think shirts are overpriced here (I tend to agree) you should see how MLS sting fans in the US - between $110-120+ for a 'replica' shirt. North of $160 for an 'authentic' shirt!
And if you're silly enough to jump on the Inter Miami Messi bandwagon, you can expect to shell out very close to $210 for a Men's Inter Miami CF Lionel Messi adidas Originals Blue 2025 Third Authentic Player Jersey!
$120 is about £88 no? So in line with PL clubs here...
To compare with PL Clubs here I think you have to look at the Authentic shirt prices, so more like £120! Also the standard of MLS is probably closer to The Championship than the PL (and that view comes from Dean Smith who knows all the leagues well).
