Are you not comfortable enough within yourself not to wear something the club has bought out?

Are you not comfortable enough within yourself not to wear something the club has bought out?
Your guess on the CLUB taking the mark up isnt right. A Guardian article covered this subject last year - Nike/Adidas grab 85% to 90% of the value of a shirt sale, even at clubs such as Manure. Which also dispels the urban myth that signing a mega star is paid for by a huge surge in shirt sales. So the vast mark up on the Asian sweat shop production cost is grabbed by Nike and Adidas.

That's not how it works. Nike sponsor the albion, pay the albion a huge fee, and take the vast majority of money from shirt sales. So it's nike's markup.

No as they are not large enough. The actual supply of shirts is not a problem as many companies make them the problem is commissioning the company to embroider the badge on and granting them a licence.

If you need a larger shirt, then I'd consider a diet. Seriously.

I am on a diet to reduce my weight to 18 stone which I havent been for about 30 years.
It is not only the weight as I have a 56in chest.

I have to buy a 4xl shirt to feel comfortable and it is not loose just fits perfectly. Premier Man 3xl (56/58 in chest) are too small.
True.

Where do JD Sports fit into this. Apart from being one of the added badges.

Forgive me if this has already been asked somewhere, does the Churchill Square branch of JD now stock our shirts?

Seariously, don't buy a ladies shirt without seeing it, I assure you, they are terrible, they look far faker than the fakes on eBay, nothing about them looks correct. The neckline is awfull, and sponsors logo looks like a rejected iron transfer from a kids shirt
