I thought the point of sponsors was to make it cheaper for the players, not to add cost to their clothing. I suppose it depends on the amount the sponsor gives the club but it still seems a bit wrong to me.
We have a club shop with All Rounder. The LS playing shirts are 35 and the SS shirts are 30. Given that All Rounder currently sell plain versions of these shirts for 24 and 22, I think that their club shop platform is a total rip off.
They could certainly be cheaper, my club uses them as well. Obviously there are costs for embroidery and printing.I was my uni ultimate club merchandiser this year. For unprinted shirts we had costs of about $18.50 per shirt, and then for each screen $3, so with club logo on the front and squad number on the back, the costs were $24.50 from memory.
I have just had to shell out £26 for my son's shirt, he is 8. I am grumpy!
That is ridiculous for a junior!We pay £25 subs, a shirt is around £25 and we pay less than a fiver a week match fees
Especially when you consider there are 60 juniors in each individual age group from u5 - u13 so near on 400 kids. (That is serious fund raising. 400x120= £48,000 and they are all buying shirts, caps and hoodies too)
