    ^^Ok, no. Real estate costs! really? What about New York? L.A?

    no, sorry.

    They've simply taken advantage here and taken for granted. All I want is for them to admit it.

    Keep in mind that I used the price on MLSnet.com for the LS jersey with Letting and Number - and of course you round up to $120

    Right, so $111.00 for a long sleeve TFC shirt? ok. The order form from what I saw gives no sleeve choice. I would assume this means it's $119.00 plus tax for a short sleeve no?

    haha......hmmmmm.....I live in Toronto....so the price is the norm as far as I'm concerned....

    It is a tad high for a piece of fabric, but as far as I can see.....if you want to be the first one with a kit, you have to pay the price. Just like people who want to be the first to have the new blackberry, or iphone.....6 months down the line it can always be had for cheaper.

    I haven't priced out many other NEW club jerseys lately, but aren't they relatively the same price when they first come out? (i.e. Nike, Adidas)

    Whether I pay 120.00 or 1.20 isn't the point...they sell it for a price they know people will pay!

    Why does it cost more to get TFC merch than Manchester United. Why does it cost more to get TFC merch than Celtic. Why does it cost more to get TFC merch than championship winning teams with history.

    How much have you paid?

    It doesn't matter what it looks like. Everybody that has taken the time to read and/or post in this thread will own one anyway.

    my guess would be that they've set the price based on what the market can support. The longer they've been around, the better a pricing structure they will have. You'd have to calculate average wages and cost of living prices for a city like Glasgow or manchester.

    Then ask why a pack of Marlbouroughs cost $1 in mexico, but $10 in Canada.

    Whatever guys, you know...some of you are always going to say that it's bitching when people express their frustrationwith the constant 5 bucks here 10 bucks there that this club seems to add on at will. I, however think it's great that some of us don't just swallow it down without mention.

    If it's always going to be this way it won't be long until many are priced out of the TFC experience. An experience (and here comes the the self congratulating again...lick my nuts!) that we helped create in it's current form.

    Just my 2 cents...or my thoughts...or whatever you say now at the end of a post so that people don't yell at you.

    Yeah but those are considered 'imported' no?

    In Scotland a Celtic top when launched is 39.99(pounds).

    I wonder how much a TFC shirt in UK costs!

    I sort of disagree. There are taxes we don't see in the process that do make retail costs higher in Canada than in the US. Does it cover the entire difference in cost? I don't know, but I would assume much of it yes.

    At the end of the day, products in Canada usually cost more than in the US. Ever try getting car prices in the US vs Canada? My car probably costs 10-15% more in Canada than comparably in the US, that is after the exchange rate has been worked out. I don't think we should make jersey prices THE issue to highlight the pricing differences between products in the two countries.

    I haven't, but they are typically $100.00 on the nose. Still cheaper than the TFC jerseys... imported.

    sure they are imported, but from China or where every they are made,
    and the TFC kits are probably made in the same place. They don't need
    to go from China to Europe, then over here. It's all the same boat.
    And there's probably 50 Manchester jerseys made for every 1 TFC jersey.
    You could introduce some kind of scarcity angle in the cost formula....


    but I'm not going to bother.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but Kingpin has it spot on.
    I've said a million times here, and I always get told I'm whining, but the nickle-and-diming that we've seen from day one is simply continuing. And anyone who wants to talk about how the games are still great value, and they want a shirt so badly, etc. is certainly free to do so. But the trends are alarming.....
    I give it 3-5 years (if MLS is still around then) before TFC games are out of reach for most of us on this board. And that's something the FO won't deny either.
