Adidas to Massively Increase Kit Prices
The price of Adidas replica shirts will rise from €90 to €100 in 2023, while authentic jerseys will jump from €140 to €160, according to PSG kit insiders La Source Parisienne.
Adidas to Increase Prices By More Than 10%
The first talk of Adidas jerseys becoming more expensive came earlier this year, with supply chain issues and the rising cost of materials and fuel cited as the reason. An estimated 5-10% increase was reported to be on the way, but if the info from La Source Parisienne is correct, then the new prices represent a rise of 11.1% in the case of replica shirts and about 14.3% for authentic versions.
A selection of replica and authentic shirts currently available on adidas.com.
Adidas' net income for the 2022 financial year is already estimated to be €1.8 to €1.9 billion greater than their net income in 2021, while their net sales, gross margin and operating margin are also set to improve significantly. With these new price hikes in their football department, they will be on course for even bigger gains for 2023, even in the event of a slight drop in sales.
What do you think of these new prices? Would you be willing to pay €100 for a replica shirt? Do you think the higher prices will discourage people from buying shirts? Let us know in the comments.
Uruguay Requests FIFA 'Legacy' Patch for Muslera's 2026 World Cup Kit
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has formally requested that FIFA allow goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to wear the special 'Legacy' patch on his jersey sleeve during the 2026 World Cup. The patch is designated for players who have participated in five or more World Cup tournaments, a milestone Muslera is reaching with his inclusion in the 2026 squad.
Muslera was initially excluded from receiving the patch by FIFA because he did not register any playing time during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, despite being part of the official squad. His previous World Cup appearances came in 2010, 2014, and 2018. The AUF is now pushing for his recognition alongside other five-time tournament veterans such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer, and Luka Modrić.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper is expected to start in Uruguay's opening match of the 2026 World Cup. If FIFA approves the request, Muslera's jersey will feature the 'Legacy' patch, marking his long-standing service to the national team across five different World Cup campaigns.
