My guess is that they rushed out what could ASAP because of the final rather than planning such a limited run.
Our understanding was that the replicas were coming out in phases much later in the year.
My own view is that the ending of the Castore deal has buggered up what should have been a lucrative few weeks for the shop. The museum have been selling stuff like hot cakes but it was existing stock and we're a part time operation.
Ideally, Reebok would have stepped in, as in 1998, but for whatever reason that hasn't happened.
Wish the club shop would do more retro shirts, the demand would be huge.
We (our family) are going down the 1 shirt per season rule from now on, would rather buy a old classic than 3 shirts a year each that barely get worn. Much better for the environment too.

I could tell you which other shirts they borrowed but I'd have to kill you
I can't see how they've made any money on these, set up costs for such small numbers can't be cheap
As @shine166 said, they will have 100s-1000s of that other toot rotting on the shelves.
I think they could have sold over a thousand of these before Wembley, missed chance.

If they start pumping out retro kits and special kits in general, I'll easily be spending 300-400 quid alone on shirts.
With this fanbase, based on here, twitter and insta, they'd quite literally be printing money. Especially at £40, very reasonable.
Never had any doubt about our stock planning 🤔 😉 😆
Is this what swifties feel like when they secure tickets. This is ecstacy
