Cost of club gear

[stephec]

The shop who sold my club kit were honest and said that it was always going to be more expensive

The kit was made by Giodarna, and as he said, you're paying for the club design.

A normal Giodarna jersey of the same quality was always cheaper.

Joined a triathlon club a bit ago, and they've just managed to secure a new supplier for club gear. Oh my, it's a touch more expensive than my aldi stuff! Was quite looking forward to having the gear for next year, but not so sure now!

Short sleeved cycle top, between 45 and 70 (depending on finish I assume). Cycle shorts about 50. Tri suit 100.

Am I just being a tight ass?

To be fair it's going to be better quality than the Aldi stuff too

Not got my kit yet (some is a birthday and Christmas pressie from Mrs SG) but it's due to arrive in a little over a week. The samples were pretty good though.

Ive found more lower priced options in my clubs up north rising to about the same as the OP. My ERC kit was subsidised too by marketing and IIRC it was cheaper again. Down here though I've not found any lower options £70-80 seems to be the going rate for a top, sponsored or not.
