    I recieved two on Saturday, the away shirt and the blue training shirt.

    I have to say, they both look excellent. However, after inspecting the labels, I discovered something interesting.

    Although I like the colours of the away top, the training top is far more superior, in every way.


    The training top is named, The Condivo Training T-Shirt. It stands out from the away top though because the under the arms have a built in section that allows your body to breath, it's certainly more comfortable to wear and it has has a 'V' neck, which in my opinion, gives it a better overall look. It also has that batwing design just like the white with blue flecked sleeved Vaux away shirt we had in the 80's (mint).

    Now, what I don't understand is, not only is it 40% cheaper than the away top, it is produced in China, whereas the away top, for some reason, is produced in Thailand ?

    I'm not having a pop at whoever dicusses the designs or who handles the marketing contracts, but if the away top had all the features of the traning top, and was produced in China too, every one would be a winner !

    I went up on thursday to get the away top and I came away without one

    I like the design and it looks nice on the pictures and that but I thought the fitting of them was poor and as you say the training stuff was better, for 50quid surely we should of had a better quality of shirt, Madrid's are around the 50quid mark and are miles better

    Fifty quids a joke, and not a humourous one at that, thanks but no thanks. Mine will be coming from Thailand, at nowhere near the price.

    A replica shirt here is &#8364;95, absolute ****ing joke.

    Very rare to see a Malaga kit, although you do see stacks of kids in Madrid & Barca kits.

    Our kits for the 5-a-side team were &#8364;70 a piece (although that was top and shorts, and they are 2012 Adidas designs)

    I feel that the new company who have took over the club shops have got their prices way over the top...I always buy my kids the tops, but I'm seriously considering not getting them this year in protest..

    Fat Mike will be knocking them out for about 35 knicker.

    I'll get my lads from there.

    Last one I got for myself was a Reg Vardy one.

    I sent it to Roger's Kenyan lads.

    The only way he'll be allowed to sell them is if Kitbag have a surplus of stock towards end of season when the new kit is due out.

    Likely the club shop price will drop after a month or 2.
