Why do QPR have the same away kit as us?

I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I just noticed that QPR have exactly the same away kit as us. I can never remember this happening before and just wondered why this was allowed to happen. Surely Nike could have given us a different option?

Surely their sponsor logo isn't iron on?

I would imagine QPR fans are more miffed than us. Isn't one of their nicknames "The Hoops?"

In Barberspeak: We have a 2nd and 3rd kit that are just stock Nike kits, this is keeping the cost down for our home one which is a bespoke kit to a point.

Secondly, I could not care less. Building our side for this season is far more important.

The sponsor on that pic of Ferdinand looks like it was part of a professional design. My son's new BHA kit turned up on Friday and I can confirm that the sponsor looks like he'd ironed it on himself. Blindfolded. He's seven.

Almost every kit made by adidas this season, be it Premier League or Championship, (or international teams) is based on the same template, either a plain or striped variation. Nottingham Forest and Ipswich, for example, will be essentially wearing the same home shirt, just in different colours.

It's just the way it is.

funnily enough QPR's home kit is a template, and ours isn't

couldnt care less about the away kit tbh, the home kit is the one that really matters

if you look around loads of different clubs have identical home kits with diff badges/sponsors, from all the big brands, its just how they do it

the reason for the majority of the lower league teams that do is because they aren't supplied directly by that actual brand, but by a 3rd party

Because Nike are amazing. They don't want to design too many shirts. They also pay their workers a fair wage.

£2 a week for 10 hours work a day might just save the 10year old thai boy doing the work from having to be a lady boy when hes in his teens. Nike do such ga good job at saving the world

Not massively different from caring for a relative in this country, £35 a week to be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
