The Turkish Lira is in freefall since a few days. This also affects the prices of football kits in Turkey, which now cost much less in Turkey than they do in other countries.

Football Kits Relatively Get Much Cheaper In Turkey Because Of Turkish Lira
The FC Barcelona 18-19 kit is available for 249 Turkish Lira on Nike's Turkish website, which converts to 35 USD. The Nike FC Barcelona 18-19 kit costs fans 90 USD in the United States.
In fact, the kits of Turkish teams such as Galatasaray are even cheaper in Turkey. Nike is selling the Galatasaray 2018-2019 home replica kit for just 189 Turkish Lira, which converts to 24 Euro. It costs fans in Germany 85 Euro.
It is nothing new that football kits are cheaper in Turkey than in other countries. Turkish football kit expert @esvaphane in March 2018 already made an infographic of how much a football kit costs in different countries, with soccer jersey most expensive in Iceland and most cheap in Turkey.
It is very likely that Nike will adjust the prices in Turkey soon.

Venezia and Rapid Wien Release Special Collaborative Kit
Venezia FC and SK Rapid have unveiled two special limited-edition jerseys to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the historic friendship between their supporters and clubs. The twinning, which officially traces back to January 15, 2000, was commemorated on the pitch during an international friendly at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, with both sides wearing the bespoke designs.
The collaboration includes two distinct shirts designed in close cooperation with the fan groups. The black Unione jersey features an all-over diamond jacquard pattern, complemented by Venezia's orange and green checkerboard on the right shoulder and Rapid's green and white stripes on the left. The white Unione shirt presents a split look blending green and orange accents with line illustrations of iconic architectural landmarks from both Venice and Vienna, including the Doge's Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. Both designs place the lion of Saint Mark and the Austrian eagle crests side by side above the date 15.01.2000.
During the friendly match on the Venetian lagoon, the hosts wore the black kit while Rapid took to the pitch in the white version, with Venezia edging a 1-0 victory. The limited-edition jerseys have been made available to supporters through Venezia's official online store and physical club shops.
