Collingwood pretty much have their own in-house jersey manufacturer and their jerseys don't sell for any less then other AFL teams.

It's just the market. People are willing to shelve out $159.95 for a jersey, they will sell them for $159.95.

I bought a Brumbies jersey at cost the other day, and all it costed me was a pineapple. Felt good.

I think its partly the NRL puttin numbers out there. Every piece of nrl licensed merch is basically taxed so theres some bread to spread around. Which is fair enough. In comparison nba singlets are exxxy as for what they are.

But people spend $150 for a nights worth of bickies on a night out, its about half a weeks worth of groceries for my house.

10% discount at sharks store, i think u get $30 off with membership purchase.

A jersey goes from $160 to $144 then u get $30 off that, thats $114. Good pricing

Well I do my bit for fellow fans by rarely buying jerseys. In fact I have only bought one.

Even the large amount of passion I have for the sharks doesn't outweigh the stupid price they are.

i can respect that. But in comparison to the ridiculous prices that genuine NBA singlets are, a full jersey for $160 is fair.

If your like me and buy a new jersey every decade or so (lol) the $ equate to very little per season/per game for the purchase of that merch

There should be three jerseys. Our black away jersey from a few years back that was made from the same stuff as NFL jerseys and was nice and solid, we'll I don't mind paying $159 for that higher quality. But I won' t cop paying the same price for those lighter jerseys that feel like they were thrown together in a sweatshop in 10 mins for $12. They should be less than $99.

Higher quality jerseys for the money you pay. Lower quality ones for the folks who can't pay as much. And the Best'n'Less ones only for babies and toddlers so they're affordable and sponsor-free
