How much are Liverpool FC mugs? Price guide for the best designs.

So I was washing dishes yesterday morning and bam! This random thought hit me – how much do those Liverpool FC mugs actually cost? Like the proper ones from the club store, not dodgy knockoffs. Grabbed my laptop right there with soapy hands, nearly spilled water everywhere.

Starting the Search

First thing, I opened five browser tabs at once because that’s how I roll. Hit the official Liverpool store, couple big sports retailers, Amazon, and Ebay just to compare. Typed “Liverpool FC mug” everywhere like a madman.

Immediately noticed wild price swings. Saw one basic mug for £8 but then this “premium” one popped up for £30! My tea went cold staring at the screen thinking “is this mug made of gold or what?”

The Annoying Bits

Got proper annoyed when the official store showed “limited stock” alerts halfway through browsing. Like come on mate, let me look at your stuff! Ebay sellers kept calling used mugs “vintage” to hike prices – saw a chipped 2015 mug listed for £15. Nah mate.

Then the designs… Christ. Some had wonky logos printed sideways, others looked like cheap stickers about to peel off. Found three identical mugs across different sellers with £5 price gaps each. Made zero sense.

What I Actually Found Out

After an hour comparing:

• Basic ceramic mugs: £10-15 everywhere. Simple crest, no handle designs.
• Special editions: £18-25 for stuff like “Champions League winner” text or glitter handles.
• Massive ones: Those half-litre beasts go for £28-35. Saw one shaped like a trophy – actually decent.
• Steel travel mugs: £22 average, but check if it’s actually insulated! Found one that was just thin metal.

Nearly spit my tea when I found out official store charges £5 for delivery unless you spend £50. For a mug! Ended up tracking down the same 2024 home kit mug at Sports Direct for £12 instead of £15 at LFC store. Small win.

The Final Tally

Made this quick cheat sheet in my notes:

• Don’t pay over £15 for standard mugs – you’re getting ripped
• Avoid “exclusive” tags on Amazon – same mug costs £3 less on soccer specialty sites
• Thick handle = less likely to crack in dishwasher (learned that from reviews)
• If buying used, demand photos of the bottom – that’s where cracks hide

Total time wasted? About 90 minutes. But hey, saved £7 on a birthday gift and didn’t get mugged buying a mug. Worth it.

Still think £25 for a cup is madness though. Better believe I’m using that thing daily if I pay that much. Might even start drinking tea just to justify it.
