    If you're on minimum wage it takes about 2 days to earn enough money to buy the England shirt.

    2 days.

    Adidas do this with their shirts for some teams, you can either buy a normal replica version or the powerweb version.

    Like the away shirt but considering I've got an 18 month old, even with the replica I'd be looking at nearly £100. Mental pricing.

    personally i couldn't care less. i wouldn't buy one if they were a fiver. i don't get this 'robbing the fans' business though. just don't buy one. gstar jeans are £120 a pair. doesn't mean you have to buy 'em

    I have no problem with them doing a proper sports one and an identical looking casual one for different prices but there has to be two important conditions and that is that A/. The expensive one is only more expensive by the actual production costs and not double the price just because they can and B/. That the casual one is reasonably priced and unfortunately the FA have ripped people off on both counts this time They cant justify £60 for the usual shirt, they just cant. And I find it hard to believe that it costs an extra £30 to make the other one either

    It's a rip off that you have to buy a pair in the first place. Should be able to just buy one jean

    They are a lot Supertyke and when England win the world cup then everyone who got one would need another shirt anyway.

    I'm just saying a lots been made of it but Rugby Union clubs have done for a while and nothings been said.

    Lenzo says that others have done this already.
