Kit Thread

Personally I find it a bit odd that grown men give a fudge what other grown men wear ...
Seriously, with all the brick in the world, if wearing a kit makes someone happy ... all power to them
I don't think any team keeps the same kit for over a year anymore.

I didnt realise that this thread was a prelude to a wider discussion on the worlds ailments. I simply gave my opinion on replica shirts.
If grown men find it gratifying to walk round in a banana suit, or suspenders, then more power to them; its just not a practice i would personally indulge in. I think im allowed to state my opinion in this thread. Cheers all the same.

Nothing personal mate, apologies if it came across that way ..
Nope, more money as a certain % of fans will buy every new kit, therefore, more frequent kits = more sales

i'd like to see the return of a third gangsta bling shirt:
Still have this one. One of my all-time favourites, and still makes the odd appearance at away games

My wunderbar Googling skills can't seem to find it. But our current deal with UA was for £50 million over five years, not counting profits from replica shirt sales, but I'm not sure if that's a significant amount of revenue or not.
That's only about £20 million less per year than the arse will get...

I think the whole replica shirt business is partly due to the tribalistic nature of football and partly because it reminds these grown men of their childhood. My wife does not understand at all me wanting to wear football shirts but I'd say she doesnt have such a strong affinity to a footballing "tribe", nor the memories I had of wearing these shirts as a youngster. She sees them as just a very chavvy garment, but I dont wear it for fashion, I wear it because I like it.
Very much a case of "each to their own" as you say.

Anyone know how much the likes of Stoke, Sunderland etc get from Adidas? I can't imagine more than a million or so per season?
