Question Will you be buying the new home kit?

[Shrimper]

So who is going to buy the new home kit now that it has been released. Prices by the way;

Short sleeve adult: £42.50
Long sleeve adult: £46.00
Short sleeve kids: £35.00-£37.00
Long sleeve kids: £36.00-£38.00
Adults shorts: £20.00
Kids shorts: £16.75-£17.50
Socks: £8.50-£10.00
Shirt printing: £12.95

I know I won't be. And that's one potential customer. The away kit is going to have to be something special but I doubt I'll buy it if it's £42.50. Is that a price chosen by the club or Nike?

Voted No - not unless in the flesh it is far better than it seems in the photo.
It looks like a cheap material with little or no design thought gone into it.

£42.50 for a pretty naff bog standard shirt? Nah you're alright.

 

[delr]

£42.50:thumbdown: for what is basically a glorified t-shirt - i think not

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Shirt is ok. Price is outrageous!

 

[GIBBO]

no it's rubbish this has spoiled my life!

 

[adambarrettismyfather]

do they really expect people to pay that for a dull shirt when most fans would have bought a wembley shirt a few months ago? i know i wont be, but i hope the away shirt is more exciting (yellow and purple stripes with orange piping)

 

[onlyonekingkevin]

if they drop the price to £35 i will , but i wont pay anymore than that! :footballer:

I've been buying kit for kids teams, so have been paying attention on this. There were limited navy choices and this is the cheapest in the Nike range, even with printing badge/sponsor logo there's a mark-up easily of 300% to 400%. When I heard about it I thought they might knock them out around the £30 mark, still a massive profit.

Now I know that, I won't be buyng one for my son.

when i heard about the kit last week, i thought to my self " oh well suppose having a cheap kit doesn't mater , and it saves everyone money , we are all a little skint atm"

Boy was i wrong !!!:angry:

how can they justify more money for less of a kit ???

personally , as much as i love Southend United , we should all stand together and boycott it until they finally put the fans first and drop the price down .

Dullest shirt in the universe. I have lots of blue T shirts already.

So no.

Not sure I follow the logic in any of that.

Why would it be cheaper because it is all one colour?

Why is it less of a kit, doesnt it have arms?

Why would they sell it cheaper? Thats the going price all clubs are paying and isnt set by the club so why boycott it and do the club even more damage?

37 potential customers that the club have missed out on there so far. Which if the kit was decent then that'd be £1572.50

How many would have bought one though if it was a different colour? Last one I bought was in 1989, I normally buy Polo shirts and Tshirts.

However that said, I may have bought my son one, I cant see the point in buying him this one.

Another example of the club taking the pee out of the fans again. Is RM trying hard to upset as many fans as possible by trying to rip them off even more?

No chance of me buying one. I'll get more wear out of my Wembley rip-off shirt!!

No idea. But I'm just basing it on potential money.

If it was better valued at around £30-£35 then a lot more would be willing I think.

Its not the club who set the price...

Dont get me wrong the money is too much, but thats football for you, all about fleecing the fans.

I think the boring design is what will put people off. There just nothing to it.

Dullest shirt in the universe

Is it a ploy to match watching our football?

 

[davewebbsbrain]

We have had non collared shirts in the past. I will be buying one for me and my son

 

[shrimperjon]

Will be buying kit for my son. Always gets the new kit for his birthday. Is it pricey? No, not at all, it's a branded name and therefore you pay the brand price....not the clubs fault.

 

[tommy tucker]

Oh what a load of rubbish looks just like a cheap, tee shirt .I wont part with that kind of money for that . I hope the away shiet is better .
