Reduce the price that a UK Football Club can charge for a Football Kit.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The price of football kits has risen steadily over the last 20 years and they are now at a level which is massively inflated from the actual cost to make and ship the kit.
The average shirt costs £4.79 to produce and ship, yet they sell for around £50+. This is for home, away and 3rd kits.

There are various newspaper reports that show how much the kits take to produce and 2 of them show the actual cost can be as little as £4.

Families are worst hit and parents may have to shell out over £150 kit to get a child a new home, away and 3rd kit which then change annually.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a commercial decision for individual football clubs. You could consider contacting the FA about it.
