Some women think Leicester City's new female replica shirt is 'sexist' due to striking difference to men's version

 

Both men's and women's shirts are priced at £55 and made by Adidas

Female Leicester City fans have claimed the club’s new replica football shirt is “sexist” – due to the plunging neckline on the women's version.

The club has released the Adidas home kits for pre-order, with tops for men and women priced at £55.

Both the male and female home kits are in the Foxes’ signature blue, with a badge on the left of the chest, white stripes on the shoulders, a King Power logo on the front and gold piping around the sleeves.

They both have v-necks, the difference being that the women’s is much wider and deeper.

LeicestershireLive has asked the club whether its women's side will be wearing the shirts next season.

Season ticket holder Claire Stevens said she was disappointed with the variation.

“It’s very low," she added. “I was a bit disgusted that it’s so different from the men’s.

“I want to look like my footballing heroes. I don’t want to be segregated.”

The 44-year-old primary school teacher goes to matches with her dad and two brothers.

She said she does not understand why she the female top which would look so different from their replica shirts.

Claire said she would not want to wear it - and would not want her daughters, aged nine and 11, to do so either.

She has also spoken to female friends about the issue, who shared her concerns and stated they would not purchase the shirt.

Kate Byrne is a lifelong City fan, who started attending games with her dad and grandfather as a child.

The 28-year-old and her 38-year-old partner were both planning to buy a women’s replica kit this season, but have changed their minds due to its cut.

“I just looked at it and thought, ‘that’s not really a women’s kit, it’s far too low a neckline’.

"I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it to be honest,” she said.

In previous seasons she has bought men’s kits but, with the side having a new kitmaker in Adidas, had “high hopes” of a quality female shirt for 2018/19.

Do men and women's replica shirts need to be different?
“I text my partner to tell her to take a look at it and she said, ‘it’s too low cut’.

“It would have your cleavage on show. I don’t think that’s very appropriate.

“You’d be freezing with it on in the winter,” she added.

She stated that she feels the variation in design is sexist.

The Narborough-based fan said she would prefer if the women’s kit was not so different in style from the men’s, but certain aspects were proportioned differently.

For example, she said on the men’s tops usually the sleeves and body are too long for most females, so perhaps these aspects could be altered.

Another female fan, who has supported Leicester for 25 years and buys a new shirt most years, has said she will not be purchasing one this season due to the design.


The woman, who lives in Clarendon Park, said: “I was surprised that the women’s top isn’t a replica of the proper shirt.

"I think women who buy a Leicester shirt want a shirt that looks like the proper one.

“I love the new design but I want one that looks like the shirt the players are wearing.

“I also think not every woman wants to have a low neckline. I have no problem with a low neckline but at least give women a choice.”

She also said the style “does seem sexist”.

LeicestershireLive has approached Adidas, but has not yet had a response.

Adidas has designed similarly shaped women's shirts for other clubs including Chelsea and Juventus.

Leicester City Football Club has also been contacted for comment.

They've got the choice to buy a Mans one surely.

True but the woman’s fit is way more flattering than the blokes one for obvious reasons. All the previous ladies shirts have had a suitable neckline, why not this. I love the shirt but I’m going to have to buy a mans one as I don’t want my gazungas on display. In the winter that neckline is going to be a bitch!

Somebody mentioned this in another thread, and it really grinds my gears also.

The Mercury seem to have become a mouthpiece for the club with absolute inutile news, snippets of info with little to no research done, all trying to put a constant positive spin on things.

 

And it's no different with the new home kit:

R.I.P. journalism.

Was about to say the same thing. Normally (with Puma anyway) the women’s shirt is exactly the same as the men’s but with a women’s fit. This looks completely different and is not a replica of the home shirt :mellow:

What a joke! This simply isn’t a ‘replica’ shirt.

No. No it isn't. It's pedalling through sex. 

 

It's basically the merchandisers equivalent of Sepp Blatter suggesting women's footballers dress like beach volleyball players to increase popularity.
