Default New England Kit - RIP OFF! - Discuss

I can't believe it, the other one was only played in 6 times and the new one is out.

But can anyone guess how much a version of it is for a 7 year old boy of medium build?

Nope

Uh uh

not even close...

Wait for it...

£78!!!

One thing it is worth is as a lesson to kids in how not to get ripped off.Teach them the value of resisting the temptation to behave like sheep by just getting the latest in thing craze.

And DONT BUY IT.

Football waste of money. If England actually came close to winning something occasionally it might be different!

No it's definitely not a rip off. It's our national teams kit and, as such, is worth every penny, and more*








* Just kidding. I agree with all of the above comments.

For me it's got nothing to do with if we are winning or losing. I still feel a huge sense of hope for our England football aspirations, but.........this is just symptomatic (?) of whats gone wrong with our game. I wish the public would boycott this type of exploitation and manipulation. It's just crap.
