The new England kit was launched a few weeks ago and it costs a ridiculous £50. Umbro (owned by Nike) say that the shirt has two main aspects which would explain for the cost.
1: Tailoring: Oh that’s great if your in the England squad but most of us fans are not so how do we get tailored for our very own England shirt.
2: England Baselayer: Awesome! An England baselayer, oh you have to buy it separately.
The retro look is a great idea but you have to include at least one of the main assets in the purchase and in this case Umbro/Nike have to include the baselayer. And, even now when they have not included the baselayer they should make sure that manafacturers give free hero printing on the back of the shirt because the shirt looks a lot better with the red number and name on the back. This England kit is not worth more than any other, it is better than them but £50 is a lot of money for a mediocre white shirt. If you buy one you won’t be the envy of anyone because by the World Cup it will be a lot cheaper.
