Find out how much the average City fans pay for their M&S, Next etc clothes. Hummel is the designer brand... You mean this Next?

Bat Fastard Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 It all looks very nice and it will suit a lot of you younger types. If they want to cater for people like me, they are not trying very hard. How about branded string vests and Y fronts? That could send the pulses racing!

Though wait until you find out how much the litany of kids down at AG pay for their Stone Island, CP Company and Canada Goose jackets, and Dsquared baseball caps. As much as I wouldn’t wear SI anymore if you gave it to me (maybe Shadow ?) the quality of the fabric etc will massively outweigh anything Hummel produces (if it’s not knock off from the market obviously). You get what you pay for with quality like that. Will last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quality is the key word. I’ve no issue at all spending £30 and upwards on a t shirt and more on a polo as long as it’s good quality and will last and is a make that justifies it. Still think the price point on this Hummel stuff is slightly too high but I’m sure it’ll fly out still, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 As Hugo Boss etc are all around the £50 for a T shirt. I don't think the prices are unduly high if the item is of good quality and not made in a sweat shop. It compares favourably with other football branded kit. I'd rather pay for something that's lasts (I don't see these like the football shirts changing every season) Also don't forget economies of scale must come into play we won't get anywhere the numbers that Primark or Hummal get for their generic T shirt.

Tinmans Love Child Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 2 hours ago, Selred said: I still don't believe that fans should have to pay £30 for a Bristol City t-shirt. That's extremely expensive in my opinion and prices out a lot of fans. Horrendous is also subjective, that "Bristol" inspired drumstick-esque shirt in my opinion is horrendous. They don’t have to pay £30, no one is forced to buy anything. If can cost £30 to watch a game for 90 minutes, so a T Shirt you can get years of wear out of is pretty reasonable to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Swallocks Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Not one for replica shirts but went for a couple of the training tops last summer for my holidays, good quality and well worth the money. Don’t think £30/35 is much for a decent top these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 So is this a first then? No one seems outraged by the designs, and whilst a few are a bit concerned by the pricing, most people think they have got this spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I don’t own any merch because It’s not my look but they have played a blinder here. I won’t buy it for the reasons above but I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 The pricing seems about right to me, but each to their own. Everybody has views on pricing, and that’s fine. The collection itself looks quirky and smart, but you won’t find many middle aged blokes wearing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Some of the garish shirts look like the sort of tie dye efforts me and my brothers used to produce at home and wear for a while in the early 70's.

RedM Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think the price in on par with what some people pay for band/concert merchandise. But if you consider, along with shirts, these are for warming up or playing sport in,and the wear and tear that might involve, they are on the expensive side. Nice, not bad for leisure but quite pricy if you want a few items. At this price I might personally buy one item. Take £5 or £10 off and I would buy two, and end up spending more so the club would gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 It's what the world is waiting/crying out for - more garish nylon to be bought and squeezed into/worn and sweated profusely in by over weight beer swilling men, then washed after every use on a hot cycle. I bet Forest Green Vegans don't do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
