Should be going after the companies charging £90 for the real shirts
@
There is no bigger organised crime than charging £90 to £120 for a shirt that cost about £15 to make
@
My guy was definitely looking for something in his size while doing this report
@
No doubt made in the same factory as the “real” shirts.

I fully support the counterfeit market when you are charging £130 for a full kids kit what do you expect.

The price is over £100 per shirt. THAT'S the scandal. Cost to manufacture and ship is probably less than £10 per shirt. THAT'S THE SCANDAL THAT EVERYONE IGNORES.
@
If Nike and Adidas didn't charge over £100 for a shirt maybe people wouldn't need to buy fakes. Umbro was always a great price when they made our kits

If people want to wear a replica that’s their right. What’s is wrong with this world. Maybe some people can’t afford to pay £100+ for a shirt but still want to support. Smh

I guess the warehouse is in Edinburgh then 😂

Those shirts are not fake. Look at them they are shirts, so how can they be “fake shirts”.

What the reporter means is these an unauthorised shirts, meaning that greedy corporations are not making as much money as they want from ripping of football fans, so as always the law protects billionaires in order to ensure that the general public can be ripped of by those billionaires even more.

"look, we stopped poor kids joining in the fun"
@
Would rather have an Engoland shirt for a reasonable price than pay £120 odd for an official replica

Shirts are about £90. This happens for a reason.
Same reason why we all scrapped off sky and got a dodgy firestick.
Greed makes people fight back

This should be a sign that people don’t want to overpay for overpriced kits
@
Don’t charge £90 for a plain England shirt and you might get somewhere
@
Maybe if shirts didn’t cost the same as a flight to Barcelona there wouldn’t be a market for it.
