I know this isn’t exclusive to palace, but how is it that an infants kit is the same price as an adults kit? The amount of material used for a start should mean it’s cheaper.

Just dropped £62.99 on my 2 year olds 3rd kit for his birthday.

The material is 'immaterial' as it takes the same work to make and pretty much the same time. It's the manpower, machines and factory space that you're paying for and the same profit on each kit.

So who wanted the kit for their birthday. Your 2 year old or you ?

63 quid for a baby's tee shirt, shorts and socks is ridiculous, but they'll continue to charge it all the time someone pays it.

Purchase from other sellers you could get all three kits for less.

These clubs need to be shown this is unacceptable the greed is off the charts.

I don't agree with the price but surely you can't spend a whole life trying to find the cheapest and best VFM.
If you can afford it then buy it. This ain't no rehearsal for life and you don't get another chance.
If lee wants the kit for his littlun and can afford it who is qualified to tell him not to just to make a 'Stand'.
Generally palace are around the ball park but exceptional on ST with interest free over 12 months.
Not many clubs will take that hit.
Hope your kid is thrilled lee as I'm sure they will be and happy birthday to him/her.

It’s a shame we don’t sell the kits on the official puma uk website everything is 35% off this weekend including the new Man City Valencia Marseille and Dortmund kits and training wear but no palace I don’t think we’re a big enough client to be on there

To be honest at that age I'd question whether there's any point in dropping £60+ on kit. It's extortionate and 'it only encourages them'. Up to you what you spend your money on of course though, and the amount of material doesn't really come into it as they're going to charge what people are willing to pay. It probably costs them a few quid to make.

You're not paying for that, you're paying for the flipping mega mark up.

She is a dirty piece of filth, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

Sure but the OP was complaining about the price of the child's kit which is much smaller and hence uses less material. My point was that the material is only a very tiny cost of the overall product. A bit like moaning about paying £10 for a plate of pasta in a restaurant where the actual pasta costs less than 10p. Doubling the portion size makes it 20p but still a tiny part of £10. The costs are in the staff, premises and margins.

Correct but it's not the samething.

kids clothing is not suppose to have tax/vat applied so it should not be the same price as adults.


The issue is Palace are being greedy so unless people get together and refuse to pay the prices nothing will change.

Pretty much. They're just looking to get away with charging the maximum people will be willing to pay.
