My son's Academy team gives out home and away jerseys and collects them at the end of the season. The boys buy their own shorts, socks, and practice tees, which they obviously keep. It actually works pretty well.

In this post I've seen $167, $175, $212, and $250. Seems like a big range of pricing for the kits.
1) Do clubs get a discount on the amount of uniforms they agree to purchase? Bigger the club cheaper the kit?
2) Is there that much of a difference in quality of these kits? Addidas, Nike, Under Armour?
3)Does all of the money from these kits go back to the seller/manufacturer of the kits?
4)Do clubs profit in $$$ from these kits?
Just wondering!!!

The 167 I quoted was what you need to get by..If we bought everything it would be well over 200..Don't know if there is a difference in quality..My daughter had UA last season and already wore a nice hole in the shorts in the first season..I prefer adidas..They seem to hold up thru the multiple washings.practices and games..

To my knowledge, the answers are:
1. Yes, there is a volume discount
2. Every company has different lines (some more than others) that range in price according to the quality of the fabric and styling elements.
3. The kits are generally purchased through a local retailer, at prices governed by multi-year agreements with the supplier. I assume the retailers' margins vary but are below normal retail.
4. I doubt that clubs use uniform purchases as a profit center, but can't swear to it.

Nike kits...2 jerseys (home and away colors), shorts, socks. Many got passed down from player to player, were used at least 4 seasons, and still look decent. Under $80. I'm just sayin'.
I've got good news and bad news...

These same parents and kids that complain about the cost of uniforms have no problem dropping $200.00 dollars on a pair of designer jeans $200.00-$1,000.00 dollars on a purse and we wont even start on shoes. And do not say not my kid, your wife is being being less than honest when she tells you how much she paid for your daughters designer jeans. And yes there is always an exception out there.
$1000 for a purse,eh? Must be nice to be middle class...
