Quote: ~The Wires~ "I understand that bespoke shirts are expensive but the template/design etc is already in place and its just different coloured material being used.'"
So is that not the same for every single sports kit made then?

Well, what do you mean "getting"? How much have they had to pay for the shirts in the first place? Should the question be, how many shirts have to be sold for them to break even? Are they only giving the fiver when they've sold enough shirts to make a profit? I doubt it.
If the adult shirts are £40 and you take the VAT off, then take off the donation, how much is left? The kids shirts are also a fiver donation but are cheaper to buy, yet cost more to produce than the adult sizes, probably not going to make any money on them at all, in fact they may cost the club.
I wonder if those people who think a fiver is stingy and get a 10% diso will happily give the saving to charity...
Either way, it's a great gesture from club to offer the shirt and fans to purchase alike.
