Association Football Kits

Thanks mate

No bother

By the sounds of things you’ve ordered clothing from Thailand or some other developing South East Asian nation here. Most of these places have never even heard of a chicken fillet roll.

I would go for as many Xs as possible when ordering if I were you.

A bad bastard of an act, support Irish

Jaysus lads, you can’t be supporting the counterfeit clothing industry, unless you’re on the breadline how can you justify that?

I assume these are counterfeit?

The bootleg bootcuts?

Sure the lads making the counterfeit clothes are the same lads making the real ones, they probably make more out of the fake ones

No mate, they’re not.
But if it suits you to believe that fair enough.

They’re charging 90 euro for a replica jersey in the shops which is about a 1000% markup. That’s how

I’d rather go without the jersey than support the practice of producing counterfeit clothing

The GGA tops are now near on €70

Both robbing cunts. Depends on your moral compass after that

Yes much better support Nike who use the sweat shops to produce their garments for fuck all and sell them for €90.
It’s like fair trade really, you are giving the manufacturer a bigger cut. You could almost say it’s philanthropic

Nike have improved massively in that regard, all reputable suppliers have

The counterfeit industry relies on sweatshops worse than anything Nike, Adidas or anyone you want to name ever availed of, it’s not a case of ‘they’re all doing it’, if you work in a Nike factory in Vietnam you’re paid well by local standards

Great bunch of lads altogether.

Miles down the supply chain I’d say, it’s probably impossible to police the Chinese in full.

I’m not a spokesman for any corporation, like anything else you’ll probably find articles like that if you g looking, i’m sure i can find thousands which have recognised Nikes efforts (forced no doubt but it still counts) to remove that type of enforced labour from their supply chains.

If you buy counterfeit clothing do so in the knowledge that it is dodgy as fuck in 2020, not 1990

Grown men look a little silly in replica jerseys imho . I haven’t bought one in donkeys years . Last one was AC Milan away around 2000 for indoor football

I suppose it’s all relative. Is buying an ethically made Man City shirt which supports the pockets of the Qataris any better?

The western economy has gorged on oil from the sands of the Arabian peninsula for well over 70 years . A football shirt is small beer in comparison .

We can have some whatsbboutery here

A good point, a different one though. I’m well past buying football jerseys but if I was a Man City supporter and wanted to have one I don’t think I’d do it
