Why does an FC United shirt cost £30?

I've never criticised FC before, but that's far too expensive.

Cost of manufacture, I suppose. Whatever FC make, which fans are generally happy to provide as it all goes into the club, is relatively little.

credit crunch

Recession

The adult shirt price 'sponsors' the price of children/infant shirts - which, if I remember correctly, are sold at a loss - so has a higher mark-up than other merchandise.

36 pages 7 bans 3 wums and a picture of the immigrants

so only top reds can afford to buy one

Whilst not wishing to stoke any fires the FC shirt does not have any advertising on it so in a straight race between paying 30 quid to have a shirt with no advert or 40 quid to trot around in an advert for an american insurance giant I know which I would prefer. But then that is just my opinion.

You complete idiot that insnt the choice, its between buying a Manchester United shirt or a FC shirt.

Its where your loyalty is i guess.

Would you buy a Barca shirt over a MUFC one?

It's about principles, not loyalty.

New away kit this year isn't it?

I'd buy a Leeds shirt over an MUFC one if it meant not giving the Glazers the money, of course I would rather towel flick a lion on his plums and then goad a pitbull whilst in the nip than do either so it is kind of a silly point.

The new away is the blue one; used when the referee hasn't allowed the white away strip (basically if the home team has red/white stripes - or red with white sleeves), it's not been on sale before.

The white has been relegated to being the 'emergency' strip - so blue and white have swapped places, if you like.

I like them.

The red one looks a bit like the 76/77 United one MUFC.

I never liked the white one...don't get the black stripe

More than a little inspired by it I think

White away is my favourite. Love the black stripe.

You have to have one in case of clashes.

It wasn't for sale though.
