Premier League - Parents to complain over kids' kit prices - Yahoo! Eurosport
Have a read of the article above and ask yourself the same question the survey asked.
Are replica football kits too much money? Are they a rip off?
In my opinion, yes the are. I brought my brother an Arsenal shirt last year and that was expensive (and simply because I'd gone to Lakeside before looking online).
We live in a world where things are expensive, cost of living etc, and a football shirt is a luxury - but it shouldn't be the sort of thing you have to dig into your savings (or take out a mortgage) for!
Well Done mumsnet for taking this to the top and asking the question about the massive mark up... if a shirt didn't cost so much, the team wouldn't have so much and the players wouldn't be paid a stupid amount for 90 mins on a pitch.
Rant finished... I have become a reactionary blogger :(

Grumpy young woman, perhaps?
