EDIT: While we're here. How the fuck have clubs convinced their fanbases that they need to change their kit every year and you have to pay £80 for the latest one. It's mental when you think about it.
It’s mental that people are prepared to pay for it, but the fact is they are. If people are prepared for the purpose of status to pay through the nose for something that would have cost no more than a few quid in the cost of textiles and human labour, to put together. It would be mental for the kit manufacturer not to bleed them dry.
