Football Shirts cost a load of money, the shirt its self cost less than £1 to make and the people who make them are only on about 3 or 4p a day. its Ridiculous What do you think about this.

i dont mind paying £20 for a shirt its like £30,£40 and you will grow out of it in a few years

I think as long as people are willing to pay that price, then that is what they will sell the shirts for. Also, as long as people are willing to work for that pay, they will be paid that small amount.

The people need a job, they can't complain. There's no Trade unions in those countries to complain for them either.

alsom on this topic unbranded stuff the same thing but cheaper for unbranded shin pads for example £2or3 for some Fancy ones £8 or over

This is a lesson straight out of business class. People are willing to pay more for brand-name items because people associate brand name with higher quality. The generic stuuf, usually, is made by the same company or a dummy company for people who can't or won't buy brand name.

Either way, no one cares. Take a business class Sheffield, and shut the hell up.
