Official Nike 19-20 Kits Cost Much Less In Turkey Than In The Rest Of The World - Here Is Why
Jun 19, 2019, by Chris
Nike this week released the new Galatasaray 2019-2020 home kit. After the launch, Turkish kit experts @efscub made a quick overview of how much the new Nike Galatasaray 2019-20 kit costs in Nike's official Turkish online store. And the result is quite interesting...
Nike Kits, Especially From Turkish Clubs, Are Much Cheaper In Turkey
The replica version of the Nike Galatasaray 2019-2020 home kit is available for just 249,90₺ (38 Euro), which is less than half the jersey costs you in Europe, the US and all other countries worldwide. The same applies for other versions of the Galatasaray kit. Prices of the Galatasaray 2019-2020 home kit are as follows:
19-20 Galatasaray Kit Prices In Official Nike Turkey Online Store
- Vapor (Match shirt) - 459,90₺ (70 Euro)
- Stadium (Fans' uniform) -249,90₺ (38 Euro)
- Women's - 249,90₺ (38 Euro)
- Children - 199,90₺ (30 Euro)
Prices for other Nike football kits are not as cheap as Galatasaray's but still less than the jerseys cost you outside from Turkey.

- Stadium (Fans' uniform) - 369,90₺ (57 Euro)
- Women's - 369,90₺ (57 Euro)
- Children - 299,90₺ (45 Euro)
There are two main reasons why football kits are cheaper in Turkey - First, people from Turkey are not as rich and so Nike has decided to make the jerseys a bit cheaper than in other countries, especially the kits of the Turkish national team and Turkish clubs (there are also many counterfeit kits being sold in Turkey...).
Second, the Turkish Lira has been falling since a few years now, and Nike can not increase prices as much in order to lose not too many sales.

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.
