Can't imagine who would want to buy anything from 2014. That season is best forgotten.

How much?

And where do they make jerseys anyway? You'd think for the price they charge for them, they could at least make them in Australia

I said that the other day in rebel sports, was looking at the kangaroos jerseys - $160. If they were made here I could understand.

With some of those NRL/ARL branded products I believe retailers or the distributor who supply it to retailers, need to pay licensing fees to sell the products hence some inflated pricing towards the final RRP the customer is hit with

The Sharkies store would likely be exempt from such fees or inflated purchase prices and would therefore gain a better sale margin even if selling at the same price as say Rebel sports for instance

Not sure on the ins and outs and if this applies to jersey's though and someone correct me if I am wrong

But then, say the club sells them $20 cheaper, and advertises it, wouldn't they ultimately make more money because everyone would end up buying jerseys there instead of Rebel etc?

I don't know how the club come to determine pricing for their merch against retailers. Maybe they factor in members gunna get discounts anyways ect.
Hear what your saying though

It's possible the club get $ kickbacks or some sort of cut anyways from the sale of NRL sharks merch into retailers but that's hazarding a guess

Yeah I've always wondered what sort of arrangements/kickbacks there are in selling NRL jerseys to justify why they are $169.95 or whatever they are, because they are more expensive than any code in every country I've been in.
