Value for Money?......

We know that lots of teams bring out shirts as regulary as possible, for obvious reasons. To make money.

We all complain about how often they are brought out and how much we have to pay for them, but are they really that much of a rip off?

I dont think so.

Say a team brings out a new home shirt every year.

Youve brought your shirt for £50 or so at the beginning of the season, probably wear it everytime your team plays, when your out playing footie with ya mates, down the pub even in bed! :-)

Do you wear any other shirts that often? And how much did you pay for them?

Youve got your designer shirts, CK, Ralph, Armani etc and theyve probably cost you about £70 or so, thats unless youve brought it down the market!

Youre going to wear this shirt at parties, maybe when you go out now and again, but how long before you spill beer or curry down your front?.... The shirt is now obsolete, finished.

......and anyway, do you really want to be that guy with the reputation of wearing the same shirt for every party, or the guy thats had is CK shirt for 6 years?! No.

I mean you can wear the same shirt for every football match, you can keep that shirt for 25 years and still wear it. You arent going to be taken the micky out of, because wearing that shirt shows your a loyal supporter.

So I ask you, are football shirts really that bada buy?

Most teams only bring out home shirts every two years. Man utd seem to get slated apparently bringing out too many shirts. Utd only bring out a home shirt every two years and the away shirt changes once a year.

Also a Man utd shirt has never cost more than £40. ( you get them for £36 if u are a member). Also Man Utd are the first team to bring out a reverisble shirt! its proper wicked quality for money as you get both the away shirts for the price of one! I've got veron on one side and Nistelrooy on the other.

I think football shirts are a good way to make friends becasue they always provide an instant talking point with a new person. Football is the most popular sport in this country so a large majority of the people u meet will have somthin to say about what football shirt you are wearing.


I love my football shirts.
