Wolves Kit Thread

[Wolftone]

surely not. players can't pull those up over their knees in that way that annoys me unnecessarily.

No, this is 'The Grealish Signature Sock'...

.....not looking good for the prices of shirts to appear in a club shop near you soon.

For the first time, I think I may be ordering the DHGate version of the Wolves kits for my son next season.

 

[Del Woppio]

It'll probably be made by the same 9 year olds tbf

 

[HanDoJin]

Not that the club deserves the benefit of the doubt, but just to show that pre-production mock-ups and the final versions can and will look significantly different.

Rancid betting sponsors pretty irredeemable either way.

For fans of benchmarking pricing

Spurs new Nike shirt - £85 standard (pointless elite version £125)

Football will have well and truly eaten itself by 2025. It’s pure madness.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Football is being gentrified.

If any Spurs fans fancy being a full kit wanker - Adult Shorts - £45

You're not wrong. Seeing loads more hipsters wearing football shirts as fashion now.

This is where the Simpsons cloud away shirt becomes hot property

I don't want this to sound like a poke in the eye, but in a lot of ways it baffles me that it's taken until 2024 for American sport prices to infect Europe.

Why should America be dictating European price points?

He didn’t say anything like that.

What I mean is, the shirt prices y'all are (justifiably) upset at have more or less been the norm here for a long time. Certainly I remember many an argument with my mother in 2003-2004ish asking her for a Steve Smith (NFL receiver) jersey; even back then it was $165.

I'm glossing over a lot of idiosyncrasies culturally but my surprise is that nobody was looking at the extent to which American sport fans have been happily getting ripped off for decades and trying to apply similar levels of capitalist cuntery to soccer. I genuinely suspect that there's a connection there.

"Well if we can rob these dipshits blind, why not those ones over there?"

There are 2 fundamental differences though, NFL shirts are made of far more durable fabric and players aside are in date for multiple seasons. PL ones last one.

The suggestion was that we, here should follow suit with what America do, rightly or wrongly?

 

[HanDoJin]

My Maple Leafs jersey cost about the same as the new Spurs shirt, has no sponsor logos and will be worn by the team for about a decade, unchanged.

Same for the Blue Jays. Bought a jersey in 2017 and they’re still using the exact same one

The suggestion is that capitalists will inevitably squeeze consumers. I'm surprised it didn't happen to y'all sooner, that's it.

For sure, those are some of the idiosyncrasies I was thinking of. It's not a 1:1.

Either way it's not something I'm glad to see y'all deal with.

If infect = dictate erm, then yeah. Sure.
