ASDA branded 'laughing stock' by shoppers left baffled over 'prison wear' in supermarkets

Shoppers at ASDA have been left baffled by the supermarket's latest range of clothing. Posting on its George at ASDA page, the brand shared a picture of matching blue couples' tracksuits.

The blue outfits are available in Unisex sizes, so you can match with your mate or partner. They cost £31 each (hoodies are £16 and tracksuit bottoms are £15).

But while some people seemed keen to buy one for themselves and somebody else, others complained the tracksuit looks a little too much like something you'd wear 'in prison'.

Paul Scott Johnson said: "Is this to wear in prison. Its clearly designed on prison inmate clothes, and who in their right minds thinks that people wish to be seen ANYWHERE in matching outfits. I really really have no idea where your buyers and merchandisers get their ideas from. Asda George used to be good, now its becoming a laughing stock TBH."

Tracey Poyser Neighbour slammed: "Matching prison wear with your other half. Living the dream."

Others were just generally unimpressed with the design. Claire Chantelle joked: "Prison wear at its finest." Jane Northfield mocked: "Prison wear!"

Others were just disillusioned by the simple design.

Lisa Goddard wrote: "I'm really not impressed with the new clothing ranges at Asda! I used to buy a lot from there pre - pandemic, but the choice isn't great anymore. Lots for the pre-pandemic Primark shopper, but nothing for anyone else now!"

Mitzi Piliotis commented: "They have to be joking!" Charlotte Cuthbert Sutton asked: "Is that the best clothing they've got at the minute?"

When contacted by Manchester Evening News, ASDA declined to comment.
