94/95 retro shirts

I could never fault the quality of the Adidas gear, some of the stuff I still wear today and after multiple washes they remain in excellent condition.

The Errea stuff is garbage in comparison.

100% correct. I find it horrendous that people are falling over themselves to buy reproduction errea attire considering the originals were that crap in the first place! 🤮
 
They were meant to go on sale at 9:00 this morning but I went online at 8:45 and managed to get a home and away shirt. I had an email this afternoon to say they have been collected by Post Office. Looked online again and there were only larger sizes available.
 
They look good for Retros, badge doesnt look like it will last long but it they have certainly ruffled a few feathers with the 'purists'. Ive seen people complaining that it will devalue the originals (which apparently they had no intentions of selling anyway!)

Love the green away top, i think its more nostalgic for me. Its the first full season i fully remember being 6 years old - I remember getting the full kit that Christmas and pretty much living in it. Promotion certainly helps make the memories happier but i just love that kit.

Sitting down in my bedroom with my scrapbook cutting everything out of the Gazette following match days and reading the Red Roar magazine and then playing outside - i was always Paul Wilkinson.

I have a box in my loft with all the Boro kits i got from the green one, right up until around 2006. Cant wait to start and show my two boys.

This is what really frustrates me about the club shop/merchandise. It is always such poor quality for the price. They are charging John Lewis prices for Primark gear. I wouldn't mind spending £10 on this and I'm sure they'd shift thousands of them at that price but instead they insist on charging such a premium that they sell a couple of hundred and make less money overall. If the quality isn't great for £10 then so be it, that's what happens to a £10 shirt. At £40 I want a premium product and not just a £1 shirt with a badge ironed on.

they've pretty much sold out all of the stock so that suggests theyve priced it right

Not necessarily. They might sell 1,000 of these at £40 but maybe they could sell 10,000 at £10. Anyway, this is a single (very popular) item so that is probably unlikely but I am talking about taking that approach across their entire range which doesn't usually sell very well. The majority of their stuff they could sell far greater volumes if the price was better. This isn't like tickets where there is no alternative. You wouldn't support another team because the ticket prices were too high at the Riverside. With retail there are alternatives everywhere. You can pay £10 for sports wear at Sports Direct or you can pay £40 for premium sports wear etc. They could sell loads more by competing with Sports Direct than they can competing with Nike, Adidas etc. They are always going to be limited to a small percentage of the fan base that see a Middlesbrough badge as worth paying a designer premium for.

I understand the regular 1st team kit being the price it is. It is current, the players are wearing it etc. That is where the premium comes from. The rest of the stuff is over-priced for the quality.
