With the 2023/24 Premier League campaign on the horizon Fulham fans will be eager to get hold of replica shirts.
It's a tough time financially for football fans with the general expense of following their team now burdened with the cost of living crisis, and now replica shirts are adding to the strain. The average price for a standard adult replica top has increased by an average of 12% across the division compared to last season, although junior tops fare slightly better at an average of 9%.
But few sets of fans will have to fork out more to purchase their own replica match kit than those at Craven Cottage. Fulham are charging fans £80 for a standard adult home shirt, while even the junior replica kit will cost parents £55 this year, as much as some clubs charge for an adult kit.
The new football season is nearly upon us and with 500 live games to watch, as well access to Cricket, Golf, F1, Boxing, NFL and the NBA across eight dedicated channels, Sky Sports is the only way to watch all the action.

Sky SportsThis year’s kit is also £10 more expensive than last season's, representing an increase of 14 percent on last year’s cost. Along with Fulham, both North London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham also charge £80 for an adult shirt, as do Manchester United.
Spurs, however, charge even more for their version of their ‘authentic’ jersey - made to exact player specifications - at £125, while United’s £110 offering is matched by both Arsenal and Manchester City. Other clubs offering ‘authentic’ versions of their kits at higher prices than the standard replica shirt include Liverpool (£114.95), Aston Villa (£115), Wolves (£115) and Crystal Palace (£70).
In terms of price increases, Nottingham Forest’s shirts have gone up by £15.50 compared to last year, a rise of 26%, the biggest price jump in the league. Brentford have also seen a big increase, with adult shirts going from £49 last year to £60, a rise of 22%, though they are still among the cheapest.
At the other end of the spectrum, Burnley have the cheapest Premier League replica shirt available this season, at just £55 for adult sizes. They are followed by fellow promoted side Luton Town (£59) and then Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Wolves, who all charge £60.
Chelsea and Sheffield United are the only clubs in the top flight yet to release their new kits for purchase this season.
As Craven Cottage looks to the future, this adidas Fulham FC football jersey is a combination of tradition and modernity. Black sleeves and side panels stand out against those famous white colours while asymmetrical red-and-white 3-Stripes add a contemporary touch.
