YSL Designer stuff cheap at SportsWorld/Soccer/Lilleywhites etc

Clasics

Just been to my local SportsWorld at Rotherham and they are selling Yves St. Laurent t-shirts at £7 reduced from (I think) £30, plus polo shirts at £12 reduced from £40. Almost forgot, also short sleeved casual shirts for £14-ish reduced from £43. Loads of different styles ranging from plain to a bit gaudy (IMHO, of course!). Bargain....

sportsworld...umbro polo shirts <£4....very good quality

sportsworld ...YSL polO shirts....£12.....inferior quality.

Do the math, as they say in USA.

as sports soccer / sports world own a lot of the companies whose products they stock they can set the rrp at whatever they want. i believe they contracted umbro when umbro were in trouble and got an amazing deal ...i don't think there's a tie in with YSL....but come on £30 for an YSL t-shirt!

I was in the Lakeside Lillywhites (Sports Soccer) last weekend and I picked up a YSL Harrington Coat/Jackets (slightly padded) for £29.99, reduced from £99.99. House of Fraser in Lakeside selling them at £119.99! They still have a few-bargain buy!

somehow I dont think umbro ones are as good as YSL ones......mind you the YSL stuff I tried on in Sportsworld felt like seconds.

I have bought the Umbro polo shirts, they can not be described as "very good quality". Good for the cost, yes. But a true good quality shirt will last longer and be better for it.

Good enough for casual day wear though.

sportsworld is still giles sports down our way (the bags are sports world!) Big signs in windows saying closing down and grabbing some bargains there! Voodoo dolls jeans for me for £7!

I think they are. I compared them and the Umbro shirts win hands down. In a 'blind' test, there is no way the YSL shirts would win. A case of label over substance.

umbro polo shirts....UMBRO! who wants to walk around in UMBRO!?
YSL polo shirts...YSL! a designer label
8 quid the difference between looking like a tramp and looking like you actually care about your appearance

Sadly, my sons (16 and 14) could have written this post. My 16 year old actually said it's well known that tramps wear Umbro stuff :rotfl: . It's all a bit alien to me (I'm 48), I have to say (I've even been known to wear Diadora :eek: ).

Must be posh tramps where u live Clasics.Have bought hubby a few umbro tops and they wash very well. Is umbro not the sponser on the england shirt? so i take it they must be tramps as well.suppose thats why we are not up to our eyes in debt buying all the designer gear.
