Hibs, Dundee United, Hearts, Celtic, Aberdeen and Rangers have all bumped up the prices of their shirts
Diehard Killie supporters would need to fork out £310 to get the full set — which includes a third top, two anniversary shirts and a limited edition version made for midfielder Rory McKenzie's testimonial.
Champions Celtic have the most expensive strip for 2025-26, with the same 'authentic' matchday top worn by stars selling for £120.
Rangers have the dearest 'standard' replica with Umbro's retro-style effort priced at £80.
One Killie fan said: 'You could get three seasons worth of our famous pies for the cost of all the tops.'
Kit prices have increased for half of the country's 12 top-flight clubs.
Old Firm fans are paying the biggest increase — with both sides' tops up a fiver since last season.
Hibs tops are £3 more expensive at £63, while city rivals Hearts have increased the price of their jerseys by £2.50 to £60.
Scottish Cup winners Aberdeen have upped the cost by £2 to £70, while Dundee United put the same amount onto their shirts, which now cost £60.
Meanwhile, St Mirren, Motherwell and Dundee have froze their prices with supporters paying the same £55 as 2024-25.
Killie have kept their £60 price tag for their first team replicas.
Motherwell and Rangers fans displays ahead of Premiership opener
But the Rugby Park club has more than twice the number of jerseys for sale than any other side.
Fans of manager Stuart Kettlewell's side can choose between the classic blue and white striped home top, a red and blue away kit (£60), a purple third design (£60), retro sets marking league victory in 1965 (£50) and the 1973 (£25) campaign, and a limited edition shirt (£55) celebrating McKenzie's 14 years with the team.
Stuart Murphy, chief executive of the Scottish Football Supporters Association, says costs are too high for many families.
He said: 'The prices are scandalous. A family of four would have to spend hundreds of pounds for tops.
'We're in a cost-of-living crisis and would like to see teams freeze their prices if they can't bring them down.
'Between ticket prices, replica kits and the cost of food in grounds, taking in a game is hugely expensive for most fans.'
Michael McKeown, 34, runs the Football Shirt Emporium selling retro and classic kits in Hamilton.
He said: 'Fans are being fleeced.
'These tops only cost buttons to make and there's nothing that stands out about them.
'It's just a copy and paste of previous seasons with no thought in them.
'Families are being priced out from buying strips for their kids and that's disgusting.
'I don't expect any of this season's tops will be too sought after by collectors in the future.'
Kilmarnock FC and the SPFL have been contacted for comment.

'Improvement needed sooner rather than later'

We asked for your views on Celtic's 1-0 win against St what some of you said: John: St Mirren worked hard at their game plan and nearly got a point. Credit to the players for remaining calm and getting the reward for the perseverance. Onwards now for the Good performances across the park but found it difficult against a St Mirren team which has performed so well and competitively in the League Cup. Kieran Tierney was great, but needs to work on his fitness. All the pieces are there, we just need to find a way of fitting them Not the best performance but a win is a win. Fair play to St Mirren, they defended well. We need more attacking options. Adam Idah and Yang Hyun-jun aren't good enough. Says it all that only two of our six signings kicked a It was a hard watch again. Negative football from St Mirren but it's up to us to break that down. We need a striker, a winger and cover in defence. Liam Scales had one of his best game. In front of goal they need to shoot instead of always trying to walk it I get so frustrated watching Celtic when they play the ball back so much. It's one thing keeping position but they need to go towards the oppositions goals to A win on the first day of the season again but not a convincing one. We were ok defensively and in midfield but looked short on ideas and even scoring. This showing tells us how much we really need another striker and a wide man as Yang did nothing to say he's the answer, while Idah has still to convince. Hopefully Tierney is ok and fit for next week. Improvement needed sooner rather than Celtic are much weaker now than at this point last year. The financial model which has served so well over the last few years will be severely tested with Idah and Arne Engels still looking like second rate players not a collective £20m. I fear the outcome of the impending European games with those two in the line up and Rodgers inability to tactically change from plan A.

St Mirren 'rode their luck but deserved a point'

We asked for your views on St Mirren's 1-0 defeat against what some of you said: William: This was a game played by two very good sides and both had the opportunity to make the final result more than one goal. I thought St Mirren at times rode their luck but they certainly deserved a point. Their defending was excellent and a work ethic to give the supporters a great deal of hope in the weeks to come. It was despairing to lose by a late deflected Basically backs to the wall for most of the match, and any attack into Celtic's last line was hampered by lack of control or any incisive penetrative runs. Yes, you can praise the defence with Richard King looking assured, Alex Gogic stoic and resilient, and Jayden Richardson looking better than in the League Cup. What worries from this performance was the failure of our forwards to hold the ball up, to put in the incisive pass or to take the chance when it was offered. We won't be judged on this game alone, but Motherwell, Rangers and Hibs follow close behind in the league and it will be interesting to see where we are after these four A disciplined performance, we rode our luck for sure. Thought we were going to hold on. The Celtic subs made all the difference, I wish James Forrest would retire!
