Tottenham Hotspur kit makes up a third of confiscated items by trading standards
FAKE Tottenham Hotspurs shirts have piled up in the council’s confiscation unit tackling counterfeit goods in Camden Town.
Figures released by the Town Hall show that trading standards teams removed more than 4,500 shirts from traders in the High Street over a six month period from October to the end of March.
Nearly a third of these were dodgy copies of Spurs strips. Around ten per cent of seized items related to Arsenal.
Rogue dealers offer knockdown prices to tourists and fans priced out of Premier League club shops.
The real thing in the Spurs club shop
Tottenham are not alone in selling its adult replica shirt for £125 each. To get a home and and away shirt with a name and number printed on the back would cost around £300.
Camden has erected posters around Camden High Street warning shoppers of the risk of counterfeit products.
