This season, some clubs and manufacturers have come up with the Pro-Kit concept which is an exact match to the kits the players wear rather than the polyester replica kit with the only difference being the Pro-Kit is more comfortable and made from better materials.
Obviously for a better quality Kit you would expect to pay more and for £110 it can be adorning your torso rather than the inferior £80 one which is a massive mark up for someone because both kits cost £8 to make.
Without doubt football shirts are an utter rip-off, upwards of £80 for a cheap polyester t-shirt is absolute robbery but the cheapest Premier League 'normal' shirt is Burnley at £55 and the most expensive belongs to Arsenal, Fulham, Manchester United and Tottenham at £80 but if you want to push the boat out for your Team and buy the Pro-Kit then there are many reasons for Spurs fans to be sad, but now they can add the most expensive kit to it at £125.
Aston Villa's Pro Kit is £115.00, as is Wolve's Chelsea's and Liverpool's and Manchester United and Manchester City's are pegged at the same as Arsenal's at £110 but the City website does state it comes in a box which probably doesn't come with a card saying the club apologises for ripping off their fans but a box is still a nice thought.
I have a 1970's replica kit, cost £20 a few years back with the old Arsenal Canon badge and is made from warm, thick cotton and apart from the white sleeves being less white than they used to be and a few suspicious stains on the front, i plan to wear it until it is no longer wearable and deny Adidas and Arsenal my £80/£110 and keep it for something else that isn't cheap that sold to fans as a must have thank you very much.
