125 Shirt

Post by frenchgull »

I now see there is no mention of wanting 1000 people to buy this very expensive shirt.Since the start of this initiative just forty people have pledged to buy one.Bring the price down,we
live in a very tough world and replica shirts are already too expensive so to pay 125 quid just to have your name somewhere on the shirt is ridiculous.OK so call me a mean barsteward but I shall be keeping my money in my pocket.

Pretty sure the club can't change the price of the shirt and I'm also sure it's the same for EVERY club so have a go at the FA? Not the club

Are you telling me that the football association have told every club that come under their jurisdiction that they must charge 125 pounds for this shirt,if thats correct then imo that's terrible,talk about taking the football fans for a complete ride,I am shocked!!!!.

Also, the design I saw was a shirt made by Sondico. Why would anyone pay £125 for a Sondico shirt as opposed to a Nike one or adidas etc? I would be tempted - but only tempted - by the shirt if it was normal price, but even then, that is a little steep for a shirt to be worn once...but it comes in a box.

£125 represents 10% of my monthly salary. No chance I'll be buying one, if it was 50 quid cheaper I probably would've.

Don't forget to act quickly everyone - the number of contributors will be strictly limited to 1000.

If we get to 200, I'll take out a mortgage and put up the other 100k!

I was tempted by this but it is too expensive for just...a shirt! I would have gone for it has it been £50-£70. Any chance I'd them reducing it? I guess it's fixed price for the FL.

the shirt is crap, bland, boring and a rubbish design. :whistle:

the colours have no bearing on our history and does not show our club colours. :-/

cue a collective groan and everybody saying - bloody hell, here he goes again. :no:

actually i dont mind a bit of gold, in fact i would have quite liked our kit to be a bit more of a golden sort of yellow at one time. the shirt would be quite a nice away kit in fact. but like i said, why choose that design as a representation of our clubs history, should be yellow and blue and dare i say it if they wish to be indulgent a bit of white :Z .

which sane person is going to shell £125 for a shirt though, unless they are absolutely minted. :|
You are my torquay, my only torquay, you make me happy when skies are grey, you'll never know, just, how much i love you, so don't take my torquay away.

Could someone please enlighten me as to what and where this shirt is. I hate seeing something come up on here and not knowing what your all on about.
