No extras, no postage , they were collected by a member of staff. 20% is Sunak and CHunts cut It's called VAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For guest cover ive always liked the jerseys printed up to look like the race suit, which is why ive always been surprised no team has gone for just the jerseys. Im going big with £50 each and get 20 in as riders will lose, forget, ruin them. Still only £1000 and creates better unity whilst still allowing individuality of a riders own suit underneath. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think both go hand in hand really, I've always liked team race suits, but no way should a rider pay for them, one form or another of sponsorship is essential, commercial or fans, just shows that all clubs need a good promotion to sort it.

When I helped buy a (cheap) race suit some years ago, it cost £500. A fully professional suit costs more than that now, I suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,201 Posted March 14, 2023 pretty sure buying a full set of team suits will be cheaper deal than buying one , plus the makers want there suits being used and will give them a great deal for that, most clubs get the suits sponsored by a fan or company who pays for them and then gets the suit at the end of the season to keep so clubs don't really pay for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
