Magnum Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'll tell you what's criminal - JD Sports at Union Square in Aberdeen, still selling the old home and away jerseys at £52 !!! Absolute disgrace !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyDenoon Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Probably because a lot of designer gear is manufactured there anyway. Probably easy or easier for them to 'acquire' correct templates, colours, materials etc. Turkey or Vietnam are the two best places I've seen for fakes. Ps in answer to your other question it's not up to Adidas to justify anything. What people are prepared to pay is what will set the market value. Branding has a huge pull for punters. That's why Beechams still sell rakes and rakes of medicines at this time of year even though the Supermarkets own branded stuff have exactly the same stuff in them at a third of the cost. Possibly not the best analogy but you get my point? Yup I get your point, and actually thought it was a pretty decent analogy.Yes people pay over the odds for brand, that just adds to the madness of it all really in that it must be costing adidas a couple of quid max to make the shirts and the markup is huge, just cos of the brand name and nothing to do with quality. A bit like Beats headphones being total shite quality wise but they still command a premium price tag cos of the branding. They really are ripping the punters off but as you say if we're willing to pay it then I guess that sets the market value. And just to make the whole thing even more bonkers, despite knowing how much they're mugging me off I'll probably still buy them! The Scotland tops, I mean, not Beats headphones....I'm definitely a Bose fella, me! Edited November 26, 2015 by DaveyDenoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the badge on the other side of the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunkyboy and the fluffer Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 My 10 year old lads home top got delivered this afternoon. Top looks okay but not sure how well the sleeves will last with all the little breathable holes. Should find out after he gets in a few wrestling matches with his mates .

Hertsscot Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I know it's been mentioned before but I just don't get why they don't let the fans vote on it. The only conclusion I can come to is that we're such a bunch of factors that we'll buy anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimi hendrix Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's part of this shitty deal with jd. Punt out catalogue wear through an exclusive vendor at inflated prices. Big business wins and the sfa to a point. That said the number of shirts sold must be dramatically down on historical numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
