Pierre Cardin shirts
Discussion
Nothing sold in Sports Direct is anything other than chavtastic, bargain basement tat, most of which is formerly well-known brands bought up by Sports Direct. I say that, never having entered one of their shops, otehr than Lillywhites, which I entered by mistake, forgetting that Mike Ashley had bought it and turned a wonderful shop into a glorified market stall.

And everything was pastel this and pastel that and pastel the other, all at the same time.Oh, and shawl neck jumpers.
I'd just about blocked that out.

I've done the same. I went to Lillywhites and was absolutely horrified by what I saw. Retail vandalism.How does this Sports Soccer work?
eg. they have cheap YSL tshirts, which aren't great on fit or quality. Yet you can still buy proper YSL stuff which is obviously very expensive.
I'd imagine a shop of that size couldn't get away with selling fakes, so how does this work? Surely YSL wouldn't want such brand dilution.

Which is why it didn't sell at £40 a shirt but flew out the door at a tenner...eg. they have cheap YSL tshirts, which aren't great on fit or quality. Yet you can still buy proper YSL stuff which is obviously very expensive.

YSL stuff is crap. That's why it ends up in these places.eg. they have cheap YSL tshirts, which aren't great on fit or quality. Yet you can still buy proper YSL stuff which is obviously very expensive.

No, the YSL gear in there is crap. But look at a decent store (eg. Browns) and you'll see the proper stuff still costs a fortune. That sort of stuff is in no way comparable.
The stuff in Sports soccer is cheap primark grade stuff with a logo, my question is why YSL would allow their branding to be used?

I think my baggy jeans with lots of pockets and tight fit at the ankles made up for it. In my defence, I was 12.
