The 'Elite' should be the standard. The 'Replica' shirts are quite a bit different without even having to look that hard. material, stitching round the badge (worst bit) being the main culprits.“Elite” football replica tops are an absolute blinder of a money making scheme.

Neither version justifies the £80 price tag.
The other non primary Nike kits are much more in the region they should be. Pompey's (League One) home kit is effectively the replica style and is priced at £55.
Brighton Away is £60. again, probably the equivilent of the stadium shirtI am curious what the demand curve looks like for Portsmouth v. Spurs (or any of the top PL clubs.)
Glad you find consuming counterfeit goods abhorrent, you may also be interested in what Nike do as well:I still find it abhorrent people will willingly shop at places such as dhgate for counterfeit goods funding illegal immoral operations and yet have the audacity to complain that Nike are charging too much.
Yes the kits are stupidly expensive and yes you do have the right to not buy them, but please don't support genocide committing countries buying "cheap" knock offs.
Rant over.
According to a number of reputable sources there isn't too much morality involved in Nike's manufacture of kits either to be fair.I think we need some context here, Nike pays the club 30 - 40m a season.
They don't do this out of the kindness of their hearts.
This money then contributes to the team.
