Why are Londoners turning to fake football shirts?

Football fans facing rising prices for replica England shirts have been buying fake kits online instead.

The England men's home shirt, launched in March, costs 拢85 for adults and 拢65 for children in the Football Association's official store.

The FA told the 大象传媒 that kit prices were set by manufacturer Nike. The company has not responded to requests to comment.

Dan, from London, told 大象传媒 Radio London this is "heinously overpriced" and says he has been buying fake shirts for his four children - which cost as little as 拢11 - for 10 years. Jim Davis has been speaking to him.
