I just meant the FAI got Castore and got rid of the cowboy

I'm definitely not an economist either. It just depends, look at something like digital media and streaming. Some people will still pay more for a physical copy of a video game, book or DVD. So prices have gone up for limited runs of things like this which I imagine makes economic sense. Obviously a football jersey is different to physical media but I'm sure there are people who will buy the official kit no matter what. These football jerseys are all probably coming from the same factory anyway.

That surely has correlation to the price jerseys are now. I’m not an economist but raising prices in a time of declining sales seems like a self-defeating strategy. Especially for products which are terrible.

I'm not disagreeing with you, and I also use the Chinese sites especially when a sponsor is on the jersey. But the fact jersey Sales are down, across the board is making prices creep up, and will probably go up so much that buying an official shirt is a premium purchase and buying off these sites is just normal. I'm sure Johnnycee (before he was ran) would say they have more overheads such as marketing the jersey and designing it which means there prices are higher, but in this day and age with Chinese fakes being flawless why would anyone buy a sponsored shirt

When the Chinese sites offer a jersey that's closer to the one the players wear at 1/7 the price then I have no sympathy for them.

I would imagine the exorbitant prices is because of the amount of people wearing jerseys from Chinese manufacturers. The amount wearing non-official Ireland gear at matches now has skyrocketed since pre-covid if not before. This is obviously affecting jersey sales.

I stopped buying irish shirts when i discovered all the sponsorless versions dumped on classic football shirts every year back in 2017. great job! I assume JACC used send over what ever was left every year. I have every irish shirt going back to 2015 without a sponsor and got them all for about 20 euro too.

I was a toddler then so I don't know, but I haven't bought a single jersey with a sponsor. Either got a player issue one on the secondary market or go without. The whole concept of getting a shirt sponsor for international football is ridiculous and something that's uniquely Irish. Every other country you can order online and get a player of your choice with a number front and back on. With us you just got a coporate sponsor and pay €95 for the privelege to advertise a british TV company

Honest question was there much issues back in the day when we had OPEL as our sponsor?
I'd imagine if we were sponsored by them now nobody would complain

Club teams play matches with sponsors on the shirt, international teams don't. We're the only country that does it and have done so for decades. It's tinpot, greedy and an insult to fans. Anyone who supports it by buying a piece of tat advertising broadband, masquarading as a football shirt is part of the problem.

In fairness, i had a good look at the fan version in the castore shop at the weekend. Its far better than the gash they churned out last year. Between design and materials used. it doesnt look like a dunnes stores jobby.

Isnt that what club teams do? Also, why would it be available without a sponsor? Sky are paying to have it there.

Saw a few lads with the new jersey, the Sky looked like it was peeling off already. Castore are shocking
