What exactly is the difference between a 'match' shirt and a 'stadium' shirt though?
And don't say £30!
They must be made different. Match shirts must of the material you wear during a game i.e. lightweight, absorbs sweat better etc. and stadium shirt must be comfortable in an armchair fan sort of way.
as a lot of rugby clubs have done in recent years, sale an exact version the players wear, which is tighter fitting and made from different materials. They then sell a replica which is looser fitting, more comfy materials and cheaper made.
If you want to look at how it works really well is how Rapha sell Team Sky kit, they do a Pro range £140 for a jersey (as worn by Froome, Wiggins and Thomas) a slightly cheaper Replica version, £100 for a jersey, made of materials used in mid range Rapha clothes, and then Supporters, which is heavier, less made for riding and more casual wear
The match shirt is indeed made off different material and has less stiching in (most match shirts from nine have 'thermal welding' seams) the badge may be a transfer and not sewn in too. The shirt is only worth what people are prepared to pay and while people will happily shell out £90 on the shirt then nike will still sell them.
Steven Gerrard looks like he has the stance of a super hero (as a captain should) Jack Wilshere wants to show off his £665 tattoo too much and looks like a little thug. That lad is over rated!

Shows why shirt designers earn their money, thinking up innovative and ground breaking designs.
Know it's not a fashion competition but my favourite shirts are France, Cameroon and Ghana.
Interesting choice of players, Barkley, Ox and Sterling, is that a hint that Roy will pick all 3?

Just a guess.
