World Cup 2014: England shirts’ £90 price tag ‘takes the mickey’

Usually, “stadium” shirts are priced at £60, while versions for children aged between eight and 15 cost £42. And these days, the £90 England national shirts have enhanced “cooling technology” compared to the £60 shirts, according to Nike’s website. Shadow Sports Minister Clive Efford said: “I’m disappointed that fans are being asked to pay up to £90 for a new England shirt.” And he also said that:”the game of football seems to be increasingly about profit and commercialism rather than the community and the fans, who have sustained football for many generations.”

It is said that the best-sale England shirts in the history  should be the  ones from the periods when the team played well.
