You can have that, only being pedantic that Man United have NEVER worn black shorts. Technically, while they were still Newton Heath they had dark shorts.

Bristol Rob Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Apologies for posting a link I dropped in another thread a few weeks back, but the self manufactured kit model we have adopted increasingly looks like a great decision. https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-set-pieces-blog/2016/aug/24/transfer-window-market-myths Read it and consider.

Red-Robbo Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 3 hours ago, Tinmans Love Child said: What’s the difference between the authentic kit and the “cheap” kit? Fit, basically. The authentic fit is sometimes described as "athletic fit" and if you're of average BMI you're going to look like an overstuffed sausage casing in one. "Replica" usually means it's a bit roomier.

Flaxbourton Red Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 These shirts are a perfect example of inelastic demand. Busloads of Chinese tourists will hoover them up what ever they cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
