That's outrageous. People should just not buy it and get a retro one but you know some will be happy to splash out.

So, to summarise my understanding, nike's 'top' teams (International teams, Chelsea, Liverpool) get a better quality 'performance' shirt that players wear on match days, which they charge a lot of money for. They then sell a cheaper 'stadium' version of the shirt for fans.

We (I'm talking about Brighton and Hover Albion now, not England) are not a top tier nike team, so our players wear the same 'stadium' quality shirts as the fans.

So far, so good. But £75 for a shirt that is the same quality as the ones we sell for £55 is really steep.

Is that true ? Our players don’t get better shirts than what is in the club shop ?

Yes, that's correct. Don;t think we've had 'Player Spec' shirts since maybe Admiral, or prior to that Ribero and Sports Express.

Blimey that’s surprising. I’ve got a match worn shirt from last season on my wall but never really looked at it before it was framed but assumed it would be a different spec
