Kit, replicas, merchandise, etc

Anyone bought any yet?

I'm in need of a new football top to play in and fancy a new casual top to go to the events (and as souvenirs as unlikely that the Olympics will be in this country in our lifetime again) so thought I'd get Team GB ones (no idea if my events will actually have Team GB in!).

Rather pricey but Sports Direct have got a sale on at the moment with the above discounted. Just can't decide wether to get the in game football one (£40), supporters one (£35) or training one (£25). Also really struggling to find them, other than the game one, in shops to actually see what they feel like and what the fit is like.

Whilst I'm here, I also think they should have been a more balanced mix of red, blue and white as they are too blue. (firstworldproblem)

Was looking at the cycling jersey but the Olympics kit is naff compared to the old/usual Team GB kit.

Bought my stuff last year. I've got a bag (which I was use most work days) a fridge magnet and key ring.

Did have a T-shirt, but ruined it.

Being a proper Olympics hipster, I was bought them before it was cool.

As for the other stuff, nah.

The kit is also the same kind of price you would pay for a decent jersey and shorts. I've not seen it in the flesh, so not sure whether the price matches the quality. Is it also purely a replica with cheaper materials? Or is it literally the same as what the team are supplied with?

I got the £25 football training top. Feels decent and is good quality, although I've never been a fan for Polyester tops for Sports, even if it's Climacool or whatever.
