In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy.Ivan Illich in Tools For Conviviality (1973)
Fans groups have hit out at the increased number of Premier League clubs who are launching a new home shirt every season.
In 2000, the Premier League charter pledged that replica strips would be released every two seasons to save fans digging into their pockets too often.
But 18 clubs issued a new home shirt last season and all 20 Premier League clubs are doing the same this term.
Remember- you don't have to buy them...
Well I guess its all part of our "consumer" orientated world...the consumer gets what the want!! Really its all about the perception of what you want led by the capitalists!!! an a good job they have been doing for years. Typical of Spurs to be leading the grab for the cash!!!
