Kit for 24/25

I just found a reliable seller that has an absolutely faultless version of the top.

Shirts £20, can have any name (50p per character) and number (£1 each) on the back.

£10 postage. Two week lead time as they're ordered in specially. DM if you want one, sizes S to 2XL.

Does the badge fall off just like the official one?
 
Why don't we have a separate sponsor for the kids shirts? Somebody was telling me that they didn't buy the jerseys because the children wouldn't think they were authentic without a sponsor.
Is it just mismanagement?

£75 for an ‘official replica’ which is not the same as what the players wear, is an utter disgrace.

Seen ppl saying this kind of thing a lot. As far as I am aware the kits we buy have never been the same as what the players wear, so aside from them being a little more expensive now (which happens year by year pretty much?), nothing has changed. My dad was treasurer for a club in the 80s, and I got an actual authentic kit given to me, as opposed to a shirt that they would sell to fans. Sure things are still the same now.

Ethically, morally, they can't condone buying a counterfeit. I'd argue that ethics and morals go out of the window when the average joe is being mugged off by billion pound businesses.

And paying for the razzmatazz of the kit launch in the price of the kit? Cobblers to that - razzmatazz is THEIR choice - and unnecessary for a kit that will already sell to loyal fans.

Charge 30 notes and the counterfeit problem goes away. They'll sell more and maybe collect a tiny bit less cash to add to their billions.

I am quite fortunate that I can probably afford the official replica kits, I just refuse to do so. The cost of them is now beyond a level that I am willing to cross.

The kids won't wear official Everton shirts anyway because of the lack of sponsor.

As for me purchasing replica kits for myself..... I'm a grown man.

More often than not with Everton the shirts sold to fans, they have been exactly the same as the shirts the players wear, which was definitely the case with Hummel. With Castore though the material texture is totally different, aswell as one having embroidered crests and the other having printed on crests. Ofcourse they sell the same as the players shirt in addition to the ‘replica’ but that’s an eye watering £110.

There's a part I dont agree with fundamentally, which is their argument (between 13th and 15th Minute, but they repeated it several times) where they say that the real kits are made of great materials in wonderful factories where the workers are well paid and well looked after... and the replica ones are not.

I think that is actual Bull. You can possibly say that the materials are better in the real kits, possibly, they are often different, but how do you define better? Many of the official shirts are supposed to be made from recycled plastic as part of their green credentials. But the factories that all the major manufacturers use all pay their staff peanuts, Nike get their kits made by people in Thailand on £1 per hour, workers making Adidas kits were on £1.90 a day and when they went on strike, asking for £3.20 a day, they were fired.

If we are being charged £115 for a shirt, £80 of that is profit. plain and simple.

Factory workers paid just £1 an hour to make England's £115 World Cup shirts

Fans have expressed outrage at the prices for the current strip and costs have risen faster than inflation - with 'stadium' shirts starting at just under £75, while the 'match' shirts similar to the ones the players wear cost £40 more

The sooner this sponsor is ditched by our new owners the better. I’m confident they’ll be able to recruit a far more credible shirt sponsor, although I’m sure it will be a US based company.
 
I bought a couple for Christmas gift. I had a go at Hummel for their quality, and Castore still fall fowl of what I'd have hoped £50 a pop would have bought. Compared to the Umbro stuff of 2009, it's so thin and feels bad on the skin.
