    I dont know what to make of it to be honest. There are bits I like (the "pin stripes" are a nice retro throwback and in one of the shots on the video there is a nice detail in the panel design) but overall it looks a bit shabby and shapeless. The different colour green of the sleeves throw me off a bit too. The shamrock on the socks looks a bit comic-y too and i think the sock collar could be white instead of solid green. Not diabolical but barely a 6/10.

    Back to my point about the re-hashed kits though, it’s an ‘homage’ to the jersey Paul McGrath made his debut in, according to the blurb.

    I’d love just an original and unique jersey. A good one (last one was gank).

    The last classy jersey we had was 2016

    That part about the homage to Paul McGrath is BS of the highest order, were they giving homage to McGrath with the Rangers identical kit too?

    Why couldn't they have continued the pin stripes onto the back as well?
    I laughed unnecessarily hard when I read the Lifestyle Sports blurb about mcGrath last night.

    Even the coloured trim ****es me off - why orange and green? Why not go whole hog and put green trim, white trim, orange trim and repeat on the collar?
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    There’s a ‘pro version’ of the jersey you can buy for €105.

    World has gone mad!

    Not keeping it down to €99 is just shameless.

    Wonder how much do they cost to make?

    Didn't the English FA get caught that they were paying workers in Thailand £1.50 an hour to make them?

    That was a reasonable working wage in Thailand, but there's a long way to go then to bring the cost up to a hundred quid. Design/materials can hardly be that much for something so mass produced?

    i really can't imagine there's much market for it. Liverpool's 'elite' home jersey is €140 in lifestyle, whereas the regular is €90 - and currently on sale at €90 and €55 respectively. I suppose in the long run, if the production costs are only marginally higher it still makes sense cause they'll eventually sell when on sale on they'll still sell at a higher price than the regular jersey would have

    They'll be selling identical copies on the Chinese and Thai websites by next week. They'll be sending them half way round the world by airmail and they'll still be making money at $15.
