Nike this week released the new Galatasaray 2019-2020 home kit. After the launch, Turkish kit experts @efscub made a quick overview of how much the new Nike Galatasaray 2019-20 kit costs in Nike's official Turkish online store. And the result is quite interesting...
Nike Increases Price For Football Kits
Nike Kits, Especially From Turkish Clubs, Are Much Cheaper In Turkey
The replica version of the Nike Galatasaray 2019-2020 home kit is available for just 249,90₺ (38 Euro), which is less than half the jersey costs you in Europe, the US and all other countries worldwide. The same applies for other versions of the Galatasaray kit. Prices of the Galatasaray 2019-2020 home kit are as follows:
19-20 Galatasaray Kit Prices In Official Nike Turkey Online Store
- Vapor (Match shirt) - 459,90₺ (70 Euro)
- Stadium (Fans' uniform) -249,90₺ (38 Euro)
- Women's - 249,90₺ (38 Euro)
- Children - 199,90₺ (30 Euro)
Prices for other Nike football kits are not as cheap as Galatasaray's but still less than the jerseys cost you outside from Turkey.

- Stadium (Fans' uniform) - 369,90₺ (57 Euro)
- Women's - 369,90₺ (57 Euro)

There are two main reasons why football kits are cheaper in Turkey - First, people from Turkey are not as rich and so Nike has decided to make the jerseys a bit cheaper than in other countries, especially the kits of the Turkish national team and Turkish clubs (there are also many counterfeit kits being sold in Turkey...).
Second, the Turkish Lira has been falling since a few years now, and Nike can not increase prices as much in order to lose not too many sales.
