take a look at the link,http://www.lufcsuper...product_id=1649 various names at various prices, when you check the number of letters in a name you would expect a name with 6 letters costing the same as another name with the same amount of letters, not at leeds. Also a custom name is £1 per letter, what if i went in a said i want my name putting on the back of my shirt, they would say "thats fine sir, its only a pound per letter" i would say "thats great"
"what name would you like sir", "my surname is snodgrass so that would be £9 thanks"
"oh im sorry sir but thats the same name as our star player so that will be £17"

lees is the same price as lonergan £12, good value if you want lonergan on but shit value if you want lees

I don't waste money on Leeds shirts, haven't bought one in years and never will again. Big big rip off.

If anyone wants one then best bet is to get a retro one that won't go out of date every season.

I imagine that that is due to them having already stocked up for player names. They will also have them already assembled. If your surname was Snodgrass then I'm sure you would be able to get SNODGRASS 10 or whatever number you wanted without having to pay for a custom name,

How does this season's top fit? If it fits big I'm a medium, if not I'm a large. Generally a large. How is it?

I normally get M but last season's XLB fit me perfectly. I've heard it's the same deal this season. Retarded sizing tbf

Ah ok, cheers. So if I'm usually a large I might want to go for a medium?

Need a new five a side football top see. Loath to give money to Bates but I do like a nice new Leeds top.

Maybe even a Small, if you like it to fit quite snug then an XSML would probably be alreet :fumup:

The way we sell players at the drop of a hat I would get player names done with fuzzy felt. At least then you can easily get the name of our next loanee put in place of our star player.

This reminds me, need a shirt for 5a side. Not Leeds cause I don't want to look like a shiny tramp or glow in the dark, not England because they look crap. Any ideas ?

This site is fucking amazing. Used to be called bornprosper.com, all the shirts on there are replica's (fakes) but the quality of them are amazing tbh, look identical to original shirts and at 25% of the price...

Bought a Germany shirt off there last year before the world cup and was very happy with it, can put pictures up if you want

One other thing, the shirts do come from Thailand, so if you opt for free delivery or the cheapest option, it can take up to 20 days, but I think there is an option where you can pay more to get it delivered quicker

I have a 3 year old girl, shes got an LUFC body warmer and thats it. Not prepared to waste money on shite from that shop. I know its tight but a new shirt every season is a piss take out of the fans.

I was gonna get my 2 full kits at the start of the season but at £40 a go and the speed they are growing there's no chance.

In which case it should be cheaper, if anything. It's the personalising that takes extra work. £12 for LEES is a piss-take.
First time I've heard of this.
I would have been outraged earlier, but I'd never get a name on the back of a shirt, even if I did buy one.

It bloody will be if you're still trying to squeeze her into it in a year or two.

Exactly, why dont they do a infants special, shirt only for a tenner? would sell loads. Id have one for my little un every season at that price.
