Limited to 1883 so why not chuck a premium price on it and make some extra cash for the club. We can’t moan about where we are and refuse to stick our money where our mouth is. That being said, I won’t buy one cos I just don’t rate it. Did get a lovely new coat delivered today tho 👌 How many would they sell at £50 a shirt, probably far more than 1883? With last weekend's 20% discount you could have bought a home and away shirt for similar money. That's not how 'Limited edition' shirts work though, I sure someone can draw a diagram in crayon to help you understand. |

£70 is a watertake. Disgusting Is it really? If it's something you'll keep as a bit of history, it's pretty good value. I spent over £70 at Wetherspoons last night. And have nothing to show for it 😂 |

Is this a kit that will be worn more than the once ?
If it becomes the new away strip those that bought the current away strip will be rightly peeved.

Can we actually wear it for a competitive match with no club sponsors etc shown on it, before the usual suspects start throwing insults I've no idea what the answer is? |

From the launch article on the club website: "Rovers will debut the kit against Cheltenham this Saturday with black shorts and socks being paired with the new top to give an authentic feel." |

Utilita have done us a turn and clearly happy to be left off the shirt, unlike Cowlin on the 2008 version. |

I *know* its meant to match the original as closely as possible, but I'm not a fan of the yellow badge.
If the badge was black and the macron logo was yellow, I'd be first in line to buy this one!

Don’t forget 1883 only means Macron don’t hit economies of scale on the production and therefore the price reflects increased production costs vs the Home and Away kits Poor old Macron. Heart bleeds etc. |

Heart bleeds etc. It’s simple commercials. If it costs more they’ll charge more or not bother at all. Don't like the price, don't pay it. Vote with your wallet. |

You can see from that why the club were so keen to change the badge last year as it ruins the shirt, not sure it even needed a badge, perhaps just B.R.F.C. would have been sufficient. |

In fairness, though I was critical at first that's not so bad a deal for a properly presented item like that. For a collector or fan with more money than me it's a nice item to have. |

Poor old Macron. Heart bleeds etc. It’s simple commercials. If it costs more they’ll charge more or not bother at all. Don't like the price, don't pay it. Vote with your wallet. I'm sure the club are making a lot more than normal on this one as a nostalgic special offer. It's not going to be down to production costs. How many replica shirts do we sell a season compared to the 1883 on offer here? Having said that, the presentation pack does look nice. I winced when they tore the tissue paper open, mentally begging them to peel the sticker off, not tear it. |
