Too early to be thinking about this, but I went shopping today for a few t-shirts for my holidays. In Sports Direct I came across a Lee Cooper T-Shirt which I think would make an ideal design for next season, similar to this years red and black shirt but in PnB.

I Like it!!!!

Not too sure we'll see it though.

Looks a great idea however there is a chance it may look like the players shirt so it will have to modified with collars etc , also the BIG PURPLE SPONSOR should stand out

You buy your holiday clobber in Sports Direct?

You must be one stylish cat.

Come on then dog, where do you get your threads from? (Inadvertently heard that on radio 1)

On a serious note, am I still ok to buy my fruit and veg from Aldi? Or do I have to purchase the exact same product at a much inflated price from M&S to look cool. Dogs and cats, please advise an old man.

But don’t on my lawn, and down lick your own , that’s just wrong.

On a falling apart middle aged body which carries a little more weight that it really should a £5 t-shirt from Sports Direct looks just as 'stylish' (ie not at all) as any designer gear. In fact more so as expensive designer gear would make me look the male equivalent of mutton.

Lee cooper!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a pair of shorts from sports direct once for my Holidays!!Dove in the pool and all the gussett blew out of the shorts!!!

Two letters for you chaps - H & M. Not expensive at all and you can avoid going in Sports Direct aka The Donnay Shop. Either that or Jacamo.

H&M is okay, but the best value for money clothing on the high street comes from the Blue Harbour range at Marks & Spencer. Nice plain polo shirts and checked shirts are £12.50 each for example. Cargo shorts are also around £12.

Adults who shop in Sports Direct are wrong.

Nearly as wrong as blokes who talk about clothes shopping

I let the wife get my stuff mainly, i have zero interest in fashion.

If I did that I would be walking around in purple tops (probably a floral effect) and the cheapest Asda smart price jeans. I have very little interest in fashion (just enough not to want to wear floral purple tops and smart price jeans) but lots of interest in photography. £25 on a t-shirt, or £5 on a cheap t-shirt and £20 towards my next body or bit of glass and I'll be down to Sports Direct every time.

Back to my original point though, I do like the old fashioned narrow hoop design for a wire shirt.

You can buy nice plain T-shirts in H&M or M&S for £5 that don't have embarrassing names like Lee Cooper written on them.

Specialist stores > Debenhams > M&S > H&M > Asda > Tesco > Primark > 99p Stores > Sports Direct

Why is Lee Cooper an embarrassing name to have on a T-shirt? I own a pair of lounge attire on the form of grey lonsdale slacks. Does that make me a nondescript with little idea about fashon? the fact you would (in you nicely presented list) rate:

M&S, H&M, Asda, Tesco, Primark, 99p stores and sports direct; over other stores such as: Topman, Bank, Blue inc, Republic and River Island gives me great insight as to what fashion is really all about.

Thank you for helping me realize where to shop

All those shops are atrocious, as are all the places I mentioned other than Debehams and M&S, but they're all superior to the absolute bottom of the pile which is Sports Direct.

Dropkick, I hope you aren't trolling. SHOCK HORROR: I agree with almost everything you have said.

Blue harbour do a wonderful range (jumpers and shirts)
M and S do lovely smart shoes and some nice casual trousers too.
H/e I have found primark do nice fitting plain t shirts, that don't fall apart though.
Asda for socks
And anything in between when I see it in charity shops etc.

People who shop for casual clothes at sports direct, bank, river island or any of those are fools. Anyone who shops for smart stuff there is beyond help.

I do disagree with you about sneakers/ trainers (casual shoes) but you were bound to be wrong about something

All clothes are to me are a means to keep the women from seeing my manly chest and massive schlong.

This thread has taken me back to when I used to go around town with my mates when I was about 13, nice one.

Picture the scene

Lefty Goldblatt goes into Sports Direct for a pair of golf kecks, last Saturday

Dunlop £9.99

2 yards away, there's a pair of Adidas, retailing at £35.99

Guess which one Mr Goldblatt goes for, thus ensuring more tokens for red wine/ beer/ malt whisky.
HMMMMMMM


The spending of VAST amounts of money on tracksuits/trainers/"trendy" named attire, makes me laugh more than a Sam Tomkins knock-on, with the line at his mercy. Particularly when the same "trendy" stuff is made in the same Malaysian sweatshops. That and the "D'ya like me trackie top. 'smint innit? Only 90 quid'nall!", attitude. Hilarious.

Too much San Miguel, I'd wager

What makes me laugh is people who shop at Sports Direct for clothes that they're going to wear for any other purpose than playing sports.

I'm not one to say to people 'guess how much this coat cost?' etc. But if you've got the money to spend, then I don't see what's wrong with buying expensive clothes. I also find that as well as looking and fitting better, due to the quality of the material a £60 polo shirt for example will last for a lot longer than a £5 one, so there are benefits sometimes to a greater initial outlay.

I bought a blue and yellow striped rugby shirt at 'Old Navy' clearance centre in Brooklyn with the master plan in mind that I would wear it at Wembley. Not only was it in the 'final reductions' section but some woman we met gave us a voucher. As a result it cost about $4. I have to admit that it's too big but a more pressing problem is that the colours are too dark. The plan was to bleach it in the sun but we've not had the weather for it. I'm desperately hoping that the jet stream will move north any day now. (Although I'm born and brought up in Warrington my mother was from Yorkshire) Beat that for being tight.

one of the good things about living in new jersey is ythe clothes shopping. its so cheap for names like aeropostale, abercrombie, hollister, tommy etc. have bought so many clothes while i have been here

This

What are you wearing for Wembley?
