Nice away kit. Horrendous home kit.

You dont have to pay 120 quid
One available nearly half the price and looks exactly same
Either that or get on aliexpress for 10 quid for a copy

Wouldn't buy one at £50.
Just watched the news regarding the captains arm bands... eager to say they are making a stand, but refusing to say what they are really standing against.
We all know what they should be saying, but like everything else, they can't because they've followed the money.
Beckham taking the cash and telling us all how great Qatar is... there's no real chance for meaningful change when greed kicks in.
The competition should NEVER have been handed to Qatar in the first place, but we all understand why it was - and we all know it had nothing to do with football. We should have boycotted it.

The day The FA got into bed with Nike. The word tradition was erased from their dictionary.

Regarding the home kit, I thought the main colours of England the nation are red and white. Why so much blue?

Have to agree - the home kit should have a little blue and red in equal measure. Having said that, I still wouldn’t buy one - never have before.

They’ve apparently based it upon the colours used in the Euro 96 home kit which has the two tones of blue - navy and light.

£115
You can pick up a nice designer shirt or Jumper for that price, crazy how much the cost of a football shirt has gone up, I thought £50-60 was expensive around 10 years ago.

Richard I daubed red on white for England and that's it.
God displayed St Andrew's Cross in the sky, for a Scottish victory. So blue and white it is.
There is no English blue in the Union flag!

Just for clarity, there are 2 types of the same kit, as there are with a lot of the top clubs.
One is a ''match shirt'' at £119.95, and the other a ''stadium shirt'' at £74.95.

Yeah the two prices are for "Player Spec" and "Standard Spec", the player spec is more expensive because it's meant to be identical to a match worn shirt. Whereas the standard shirt won't have all the emblems and logos etc. Sometimes it's even a different fabric. Fairly common in the shirt industry these days to offer a "Player Spec" shirt as well.

I’ve bought quite a bit from DH Gate - retro England shirts for holidays etc. Just got the Red away kit for £17 last week.
They did have Burnley kits last year - bought a player printed one to frame. I matched it up with an original one I bought and it was easy to spot the fake.

I’ve never seen a Burnley kit on there. Do you have any links?

What an outrageous price.
They look awful and international football also bores me to death.

They don’t seem to have this season’s on and last year’s are no longer for sale.
