Why can't we get the real deal rather than some random knockoff? Sorry if I am too negative. Read the OP man !! | ||

Money going to the team that has provided countless hours of entertainment for me? Supporting eSports? Get awesome shirt? I hope this initiative works out and more teams follow suit. I have been looking to get my hands on proleague jerseys for a fucking age. I really don't think £55 is too much http://store.manutd.com/stores/manutd/products/kit_selector.aspx?selectorid=518 I know which red jersey I'd rather be wearing  | ||

Or whatever T1 Merch is next. Gahd if only shipping wasn't so expensive here. Also, that shirt is worth 3000 in our currency, enough to allow me to live for 2 weeks back in college and almost 3 weeks now with work. | ||

The shirt is by no means cheap, and I don't intend to argue with you about its value. However, I do think we owe you an explaination for the price. As we started hashing out the details with SK Telecom several months ago, it became apparent that the team uniform would be expensive for two major reasons.
These shirts are not great business for us. A TeamLiquid product that had the exact same costs and conditions would have been scrapped before making it to the store. Yet, having the SKT shirts on our store and making them available to the fans around the world is a dream for us, and we just couldn't decline when SKT came knocking. Also, we think that opening our doors in this way could be an important step toward offering more merchandise from Korean teams in the future. So 8000+1600+10*750= £17,100. Let's say each shirt costs £5 to make (lol of course no factory charges that amount for a polo shirt - check alibaba to see what I mean) so that's £20,850 = $34,750. (NB - American imports are much cheaper - funny that you didn't mention those numbers  - so this is a big overestimate. I doubt total costs were more than $25k given how much more inexpensive US tends to be). I don't think it's that unethical to charge ~100% mark up and yeah you split the money with SKT1 and yeah it's nothing compared to high end fashion. However, to claim you aren't make a good deal of money and you're selling these out of the goodness of your heart seems a bit unfair. Sorry to be negative but I hate seeing people wilfully misled. | ||

I'm jealous, but $25 to ship clothing across a border is unreasonable and I can't justify it ;( | ||

Sorry to be negative but I hate seeing people wilfully misled.If taxes and shipping per shirt is ~£11, it's likely that the shirts were sold to TL for around £30. Import taxes depend on the price that the manufacturer gives. Plus VAT for EU. Whether TL paid a fair price for the shirts is irrelevant, because that's how much they were sold to TL. | ||

This shirt is relatively expensive--if the rarity and the brand make it up to you, awesome. If they don't, you don't need to whine--just note that it is too expensive for you personally and move on. For me, I'd buy instantly if it was the Adidas track-type jersey. Unfortunately, I never wear any sort of polo. | ||
