👕 What do you think, are football shirt prices too damn high?
Lol because futboll sheep pay for it, just like i🐑
Just go to like DHGate and get basically the same thing for 15£😂
in Iraq you can find football jerseys for 10 euros. (they were made with 2 euros from china)
Its definitely brandin man
theres a spot in garland, dallas, tx that sells jerseys at $20 each 😂
no matter what never giving a fortune for a jersey not even if its my club, ill be on DHGate asap if im buying one.
Greed , thats why
I got 5 kits out of which one turned to be original in pakistan for like25$
it's 100 euros a pop now for a replica.
"Because they can" is basically the answer to most anything that is expensive.
each Shirt costs from 2.5 to 5€ to make, so just look at the profit they make, Vietnam made are better, Thailand is not as good they are probably the cheapest ones, so yeah i always buy mine for 10-15€ in markets selling them, just last weak got 2 new AC Milan shirts for 25€ each, a bit expensive but the quality on this ones are so damn good.
I was checking out prices for Barca 24/25 kits… it’s over $320 CAD plus tax
"But they are not jsut shirts, they remind us of memories, ANYWYAS THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR NORD VP-"
Till date i have never bought a orginal jersey its senseless to buy they same piece of cloth at a higher price just because of the official name attached to it
Because fools and their money…
Is this a DBGATE thing
Pls give us £100 for our official football shirt made by kids in Pakistan or Vietnam 😢 don’t buy the cheap fake ones made in Pakistan or Vietnam instead it’s really hurting our huge profits
I can smell the corporation bootlicking from a mile away. But i get it, it has benefits to be in good faith with a Multi-Billion dollar company.
Ripping us? YES
Man I bought the man city third kit for $200, the shirt itself was around $100 but there were a bunch of shipping and border fees.
The answer is Inflation.
I don’t think people realize how much technology goes into making the shirt and it’s not the materials and the labor but the amount of money adidas or puma or Nike spends into designing the kit
Then how are varcelona and man u buy antony for 90 mil, dembele and coutinho for 100 mil
Why are shirts so expensive ?
Cus the punters are MUGS !
If is too expensive to transport it from Asia, then produce it localy, Europe for example for European market and in Asia for Asian market. I would never buy a shirt for so much money, exept from my national team without sponsor on it
Bro this guy has such an annoying voice.
I just wear jjsport jerseys
You don't need to watch the video to know it's money
The quality of the shirts was also way better 30 years ago and even 20 years ago.
