England Euro 2024 kit

It's ridiculous, Nike wouldn't date do that to the US flag but think it's ok to do it to ours. Hope everyone who will buy it goes to DHGate and buys one of the very good knockoffs for like £15

 

If you have a player name and number it can be hit and miss on how well it's applied, you certainly should give it a good iron yourself.

Beyond that if you go for one of the sellers on there with lots of sales and high ratings they are really good. Finishing of the stitching may not be up to the official ones but that's on the inside so it doesn't really matter

£80 for Fan version, £110 for Player version

Report I read said it was a Nike decision and the FA didn't request a change which makes it's Nikes decision. The FA shares some blame as they could have requested a change but it wasn't the FA requesting it

 

It's a Chinese online marketplace. Basically, it's what Amazon would be if they stopped stocking and selling items themselves and relied on just 3rd party sellers. Like China in general they really don't care about intellectual property so a lot of it is knock-offs of Western brands including a lot of fake Football Shirts but unlike fakes you might have seen from dodgy market stalls in the 1990's these are pretty good, usually using the same material and the only difference is often the finishing of the stitching isn't as clean (Plus in general the size down, the advice is generally go for one size up for the fan version and 2 size up for the player version on what the official shirt advice is)

In general, you should support your club by buying the official but for example I would generally only buy 1 United shirt a year and it would be the one of the 3 I liked the design best of. I can still buy the official one now but I can pick up knock-offs of both of the other kits for less than half what the official one does. I wouldn't have bought them anyway so I'm happy to buy a knock off. And I've never bought an England shirt, never would as I can't justify the price for an England shirt for something you are only going wear for 4 weeks (as you look like some a thug wearing an England shirt when there isn't the WC or Euros on ) but I was consider getting a knock off for this summer

There are also a lot of retro shorts which you cant get these days or if they do release them again they can't release them exactly as they were due to kit and sponsorship deals whereas the knockoffs have the correct manufacturer and sponsor so look like they should

 

Ordered my son, daughter and myself one last week. £42 inc P&P. Have bought Man City shirts for the lad from there before, can't complain. Until kit manufacturers make their products affordable they are forcing consumers into the knock off market.

 

Yeah especially good for Kids. They don't care if it's real and even a real one is less likely to last a season with the rough and tumble they put then through. So being able to buy multiple for less than 1 official makes sebse

I don't feel the kit manufacturers will ever bring prices down because the clubs act as a shield for them. It's the clubs who get the blame, not helped by the likes of Real claiming additional kit sales are enough to cover buying Ronaldo,Benzema and Kaka when the reality it was done via interest free loans from Santander who then wrote them off. The reality is the clubs once they accept the upfront fee get no say on price and only get a single digit percentage off each sale (and actually the kit deal usually includes taking over all merchandising with the club only getting single digit % on those as well). Until people realise this the manufacturers will keep increasing prices and watch the clubs take the abuse

 

That's the top it's supposed to be inspired by. It's one shade of blue, one shade of red and white. There is no dark navy, is no dark red and certainly no purple. They have realised 'we have fecked up, let's try and spin it's and people like you have bought it like the fools Nike and the FA think people are.

And the thing is it's one thing to do something artistic with the flag, Scotland kit has that but atleast out of context you look at Scotland's and know what flag it is. This you would have no idea if you didn't know it was an England kit
