[Albion] *new* Europa League Limited Edition "Pavilion" Kit

[StonehamPark]

They are swindling our club and Nike.

In contrast to the club (all clubs) and Nike swindling the supporters considering the cost?
Not to mention the human rights issues and sweatshops directly associated with Nike.

Did you use to 'tut' at Only Fools and Horses?

 

[Scotchegg]

Not chiming in on the knockoff debate, I have my share of hooky shoes from China, but just saying that the legit kit has rubber nike ticks and badge. How much you care about that is how much you'd rather have £55 in your back pocket I guess.

The full set from China for less than £60

Who got the short straw with the bedside cabinets?

I am not condoning nor condemning here, but £70 is pretty expensive so I understand why anyone would do this.

I understand too.

£70 is a hell of a lot of money for something that probably costs less than £10 to make but we have a choice whether we buy or not. I stand by my point that the club lose out if we don’t buy official merch, but like you, I understand why some by the cheap stuff for £15, even if it falls apart after a few washes.

I'm not sure about this 'falling apart' bit.

A while back I went to Shanghai on a jolly and amongst other things I bought some leather Adidas golf shoes from an indoor market.

'Made in the same factory' I was told, still supple and going great today.

I'm too old for moody shirts, but my issue is the cost of manufacture v punter price.

And the other downside is, of course, that you’ve your ‘hard earned’ to some Chinese swindler instead of the club you love.

Is that the taken from a shirt purchased from the club or from a “players” shirt ?

Just a regular shirt from the club. I bought one for me and my nephew, my one is unprinted so it showed up last week, his one not dispatched at all yet.

I agree to a certain extent, however when there is no stock for any shirt at all, and no information when there might possibly be more I understand to a much higher extent. If there was available stock of all shirts and sizes in store and online there would be a much higher degree of “loyalty”. Once those options have been taken away it’sa different story.

So are those pics from the the shirt you purchased? Interesting about the Nike tick and the badge- here is the pic from the club - looks more like the Chinese version than the pic you posted ??

It was obviously a while back as I bought a ground breaking 128Gb USB stick which turned out to be full of malware, which was contained.
That said, the 'Armani' coat still looks superb.

Yeh, they're from my shirt. I was surprised when I saw they were rubber so I took some pics to post to the BHAFC reddit. They're really nice.

Sillly thought of the day... I wonder which sweatshop is worse -- the one Nike used to make our Europa shirt or the one that made the Chinese knock-off?

Likely to be the same factory.

Oh, that's very cynical, lol

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

As someone who has had a few of these in the past albeit not Albion ones, they look good but they fall apart after a few washes

Thursday's downpour would have been a good test

Didn’t go to plan
