Teamwear for £75: Oxford United 125th Anniversary 'Limited-Edition' Shirt
English club Oxford United unveiled a new special-edition shirt yesterday. Celebrating the club's 125th anniversary, just 125 of the orange jerseys would be available from October 27 at £75 each.
People were quick to notice that the special, limited-edition jersey was in fact just Puma teamwear - one you can get on Puma's own store at just £14, leading to big criticism for the move.
.@OUFCOfficial are rightly getting panned for releasing an anniversary shirt that's just a basic Puma top with a different crest, and charging £75 for the privilege. pic.twitter.com/WGKEuoZx4x

Objectively speaking, the orange and rather simple design pays homage to Headington United, which the club's name from its founding in 1893 all the way until 1960. It has a v-neck and features black trim on the sleeves. All sponsor logos have been removed to "complete a vintage look and feel".
The shirts will be available to buy from the club's official store from 11AM on Saturday, October 27 on a first come, first served basis.
