Not sure why the club has done it if it does. You don't know why a cash strapped club would raise prices? Football shirt prices are already obscene and I don't think the club will have many sleepless nights if they decide to raise the prices by a few extra quid. Its likely related to the imminent takeover anyway, which I would suspect is the main reason they have done this.

I cant imagine the extra £5-10 for a shirt will put too many people off so will only increase the clubs income and the price increase will more than likely cover the possible reduction in sales. Plus if Fanatics create more & new merchandise like it looks like they will, it will also generate more income that way too. r_wilcockson, taffyram and GenBr 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Anyone willing to pay £48 for a shirt probably won’t bat an eyelid at an extra £7. If and it’s a big if the money goes to the club we would all probably be more than happy. I already rarely buy a shirt as I think they are extortionate so tend to get one as a birthday present. People who buy one every year will still buy them though. DCFC1388 and GenBr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems counter productive putting players and managers from the the current squad on there as they inevitably will leave, so seems a waste of money. Id have said this year it should be the 71 72 winning squad if anything.... Or just do the black and white chequered design on the middle section and you can keep it like that then Ted McMinn Football Genius and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just do the black and white chequered design on the middle section and you can keep it like that then It’s our history and we should be extremely proud of their achievement. So for me I would love to see the images of our 1971-72 squad all around the ground. It seems fitting on the 50th anniversary of the success of those legends, I strongly believe they should be at pride of place above the main entrance to PP in view of the Taylor/Clough statue. This is so important, now more than ever. Because of the ongoing turmoil we are having to endure right now this for me means we should celebrate those lads of yesteryear far more than we have done as a club to date. History is something that no one can take away from us, no matter who they are or who they think they are. COYR ? ????
