FOOTBALL fans have got shirty over new replica kit prices — and are sick as parrots over the foul designs of away tops.
Spurs supporters have to fork out more than followers of other clubs in the Premier League, which kicked off for a new season last night.
A Tottenham top will set them back £75 — and the whole kit £150.
But fans also took pot-shots at the garish look of some of the second strips.
Leeds supporter David Roe grumbled: “I don’t really understand why we have an away kit which just looks like an accident where a biro has been left in a pocket.
“I’d far rather we just have a simple yellow or blue away kit. Simple shirts tend to look best.

“But at least we’re not Southampton – theirs looks like a bad washing powder advert.”
Spurs fan Aaron Tunney said: “At best our new away kit looks like training gear and at worst it looks like a scuba diving top.
“Between the price of tickets and replica kit, being a Spurs fan is expensive.”
Chelsea’s replica top is 5p cheaper than that of their London rivals.
