Where are England football shirts made?

[gregcropper]

So, it's World Cup time again. And The English FA (a profit-making Company) are trying to ramp up support for the over-paid primadonnas from the long-suffering working man and woman. All St George and Patriotism. Well hold on busters..... where are those £55 replica shirts made? Is it ENGLAND or some sweat-sop in the Middle or Far East. And where are those car flags made?

I tell you this; so long as the FA show scant regard for the manufacturing sector in England, they can shove their football where the sun don't shine. I'm all for St. George (in a non-BNP way) but I'm buggered if I am going to support a bunch of money-grabbing men in suits. Like Lord Triesman.

Support the working Englishman and I will support you. Who's with me ??

i understand your feelings. but didn´t the clothes manufacturing business die a long time ago?

Why buy a replica shirt for £55?

Buy a plain red or white T shirt for a fiver, then buy a 3 lions badge on ebay and wonder- web it on..

hey presto a retro 66 shirt that no other fooker will be wearing

It's economics mate, if you can pay x to make a shirt in some far eastern sweat shop or 10x in Britain, no contest. What would you do? you'd get your widgets made as ceaply as possible wouldn't you? eh? Anyway there's no real clothing manufacturing industry in Britain anyway.

I wouldn't wear an England shirt even if the FA paid me to.

£55.00!! I got my umbro official football shirts for £20.00

The genuine kits are made in Essex (and I can't remember exactly where, but I've been to the factory that makes them, it has a surprising amount of security!)
