Chez Posted yesterday at 11:51 Posted yesterday at 11:51 1 minute ago, Pamplemousse said: I refuse to buy the shirts at £60, limited edition or not, £120 is a genuine disgrace. Not sure its a disgrace. Certainly it's ridiculous. I mean, you don't have to buy it. Maybe I am old, but £120 sure seems like a massive sum of money for a piece of tat like this. I know retro football shirts became items of fashion in recent years, but who is buying one of these? If they had any sense they'd of released it before xmas not after. 1

I think they are all made in the same factory to be fair with various sellers buying them and then listing them on DHGate etc. a lot of them are made a factories used by genuine kit manufacturers. Where a lot of them use high tech manufacturing it’s easy for some factory owners to spend a hour knocking out replicas Even proper kit aren’t made at the same factory. Incidentally that’s why buying from Amazon is a minefield. Same product totally different factory, the manufacturing volume is enormous so no time for quality checks and if 10,000 people buy shit version and complain it doesn’t matter. Jeff Bezos once said companies are so big it doesn’t matter if they fk up the publics attention span is so poor it’s soon forgotten

Maybe we could do an anniversary shirt for passing the ball sideways under Martin too. No running away from the fact we're getting old mush, I now work with people who are younger than my email address ffs This is still one of my favourite shirts that I love to wear, versatile for all occasions 1 3 1

You’ve got to check other clubs it’s becoming a thing to regularly bring out a “concept” shirt at mental prices selling football shirts is a worldwide business , it sometimes helps if you aren’t one of the big clubs. There is a huge market in places in Thailand. There will be some Thai hipster wearing a Saints kit and will be admired because of its obscurity. its the same thing as buying some vinyl of some unknown band from the 70s oneupmanship amongst people vaguely in the know. Southampton/ Sports Republic🤔 would be crazy to tap into it. It’s a thing.
LGTL Posted yesterday at 12:16 Posted yesterday at 12:16 Nice shirt, well presented. Horrible price. But, we need to stop commemorating the FA Cup win now. How about give fans younger than 60-70 something to cheer about? Fat fucking chance with these wankers in charge. 3
hypochondriac Posted yesterday at 12:27 Posted yesterday at 12:27 51 minutes ago, S-Clarke said: It's a nice shirt, but paying £120 to commemorate the single trophy we won 50 years ago seems like a big case of not reading the room. What are we doing? Why did they come to that price? I guess the people in commercial are as inept as the people SR have employed everywhere else. Is it that inept? They will almost certainly sell out and quickly. 1

Of course in another world the exact same moaners are griping about how the club dont care about our heritage and history and they're not doing anything to mark our most famous day etc etc etc etc Read the room he says. Jesus wept. If the "room" don't like it then the club are left with a thousand commemorative shirts that they never sell. But something tells me they will sell the lot. 4
bpsaint Posted yesterday at 12:53 Posted yesterday at 12:53 Remember when they did this back in 2006 and released a knock off version of the 76 kit to fans that ended up in the concourse sale as they had so many left over. Fans wanted the version the players had which wasn’t available to buy, another marketing masterclass.
JohnnyShearer2.0 Posted yesterday at 13:05 Posted yesterday at 13:05 I really liked the black retro top that was released early last year. Now that's a seriously nice top. 1
LuckyNumber7 Posted yesterday at 13:24 Posted yesterday at 13:24 It's a beautiful shirt, and well presented. Would love to have it, but absolutely no chance at that price. The cost of football shirts these days is scandalous. 2

Dr Who? Posted yesterday at 14:46 Posted yesterday at 14:46 What are we celebrating, the fact that we have won 1 major trophy. 🏆 This is very tin pot! If that down the road do this in 2 years to mark 20 years we would rip the pee, and that at least is this century. All this says to me is that we do not expect or have any ambition to win anything, so we might as well celebrate this miracle! 2

A...friend...has just ordered one so I'll find out what the quality is like when it arrives. To his house of course... 🤔 1
Saintbone10 Posted yesterday at 17:48 Posted yesterday at 17:48 I love the kit, just wish they released it as a standard kit for the season. I would have purchased day 1. It possibly would have been received better if we were top of the championship and flying as well. Price is too steep for me unfortunately. 1

pimpin4rizeal Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Probably the nicest yellow shirt we have had tbh .. would be more appealing if it was actually the away kit for a whole season though 1

If they had any sense they'd of released it before xmas not after. I think to some extent you've raised the reason why it's considered a 'disgrace': it's tat, it's in many respects worthless, it is as some have said probably something that doesn't mean much to most of our fan base now given how long ago it was and their relative ages, it's expensive but we know it's not been made in a fashion that would warrant that, the packaging is all fluff and 'value-added' i.e. none and it's got a little badge at the bottom that harks towards the lovely capitalism of the "Emirates Cup" which devalues the (real) Football Association cup and makes it a thing commercial, not commemorative, and ... damn that answer went on too long.

This smacks of greed, stupidity and as others have said celebrating failure. I wouldn't overthink it. It's just a nice looking shirt commemorating when we won a trophy. Very expensive but will appeal to some people. 1
