have you not seen the adverts about the proceeds from knock off goods going to the Taliban, child slavery and smack dealers?

In buying any official shirt, and pretty much any item of sportswear made in Asia, you are supporting child slavery.

If I buy a shirt it'll be the 3rd kit

Same here mate. Dont like the home or away but the third is really nice.

As was mentioned earlier in the thread, the only time for an adult to wear a footy shirt really is at the game(although even then I often dont because I go into town after and cant get in anywhere in a footy shirt) or whilst playing football. I dont do either of those things nearly as much as I'd like so its it really worth spending £50 on a new shirt? I'd pay £30 I think, but £50 is too much for what it is.

I don't like them enough to want to get them now, so I'll wait till I can get the 3rd kit for £20 then I'll buy it, maybe £25..

Or you could think of it as helping a child to survive, just think what would become of them without the money, however little it may be.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I can't think of one country that has become industrialised without child labour. It's one of the necessary stages of countries modernising and all the "do-gooders" are doing is delaying the process.

Where were all these morally superior people when we were sending children into the workhouses and down the mines? Where were they when we destroyed the massive forests that covered most of Europe? Where were they when we pumped billions of tonnes of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and raped the earth of all it's resources?

We've had our turn and we've reaped the rewards, what gives us the right to now take the moral high ground and condemn these developing countries to a future in the dark ages?

What you say would be valid if the companies exploiting child labour were Thai/Malay/whatever, and they in turn pumped that money back into the said country's economy and helped increase its GDP. The fact is that US and European companies are the ones reaping the rewards when they sell a football shirt for £40 and pay the Asian kid that made it a penny or so. Do you really believe that if US and European multinationals controlled our mining and mill industry we would have developed as we have economically? In fact, going by what you say it is more ethical to buy a fake shirt from a market in Thailand as it will help the country to develop more than buying an official shirt from the Spurs shop would.

I wasn't trying to be a do-gooder as you say -- I was merely pointing out the fact that whether a shirt is fake or genuine there is no ethical distinction between the two as far as child labour goes -- nor was I trying to adopt a moral high-ground over countries that use child labour. I'm in complete agreement with you on the hypocrisy of some people's attitudes on developing countries.

i think tbh it's sorta fair to say that if you don't care about giving your money to the club and just want to show your colours... well then ultimately, fake shirts are shit to look at and just look silly, and real shirts are made of shit and so you are better off buying a more casual wear shirt with spurs branding on it.

plus you can wear it more comfortably whenever and wherever compared to the crappy material the replica player shirts are made out of.
