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.

Celtic dominance isn't just due to Rangers failings as ex Premier League star throws down gauntlet
Nigel Reo-Coker believes the Premiership's other 10 clubs are not pulling their weight Scotland's other 10 top-flight teams need to take the pressure off Rangers by shouldering more responsibility to try and halt Celtic's dominance in the Premiership. That's the view of former English Premier League captain Nigel Reo-Coker, who reckons that the rest of the league are not pulling their weight when it comes to facing the Hoops. Besides Steven Gerrard 's Premiership triumph with Gers in the 2020/21 season behind closed doors, the Hoops have won every title since 2011, with the last team outside of Glasgow's big two to lift the title coming with Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen in 1985. And while the Dons caused a huge upset to lift the Scottish Cup for the first time in 35 years when they edged out Celtic on penalties back in May, Reo Coker - who starred for West Ham, Aston Villa and Bolton in England's top-flight - firmly believes that the other clubs that make up the Premiership should be making the league 'more competitive'. Speaking on CBS Sports Golazo, he said: "Common sense will tell you that Celtic should be the favourites, Brendan Rodgers is a very accomplished manager who knows what he is doing. "For the manager that he is, I expect Celtic to go and win the title again. "When you look at Rangers and talk about Russell Martin coming in as the new manager, he was very stubborn in his time at Southampton and didn't want to change his style of play. "It is going to take a while to implement the style of play he wants at Rangers. A great signing they have made is Mikey Moore, a young lad on loan from Tottenham. "I think it's going to be so beneficial to that young talented player to get that first team experience playing week-in, week-out. "We always talk about it being on Rangers to beat Celtic. But I think it's on all the teams in the Scottish Premiership to be more competitive. "You talk about the last time a different team that wasn't Celtic or Rangers to win the Scottish Premiership was Aberdeen under Sir Alex Ferguson. "Since then, there has been 40 title winners and it's been shared between Celtic and Rangers. I think the bigger conversation is a lot more competitiveness from other teams, really trying to push Celtic and Rangers to make it more entertaining." However, ex Leeds United and MLS winger Mike Grella then quickly pointed out to Reo-Coker the reality that faces the rest of Scotland's top-flight. He replied: "It's difficult because of the following that Celtic and Rangers have and also (because of) their history, how much they've won and the money they make from European competitions. "They are very marketable so as far as the other teams being able to compete over a period of time, Celtic have really dominated over the last 10 years."

McInnes can't wait to get league campaign started
Hearts head coach Derek McInnes is looking forward to starting the Premiership season with a "tough" game against Aberdeen on Monday night. The new boss is targeting all three points from his first league game but knows it won't be an easy test against a Dons side "buoyed" by their Scottish Cup success. "We've been given a nice home game," the manager said. "There are lots of ingredients in it, but obviously it's a tough game. Aberdeen are a tough opponent and they're a good side. They'll be buoyant after their Scottish Cup success last season as well."They've got a lot of good players. It's not without its challenges, but we've got to make sure it's every bit as tough for them coming to Tynecastle."I think we're all looking forward to it."But the manager knows all their hard pre-season work will be forgotten if they don't get the job done on Monday night. "We've been pretty busy in the sense of trying to get the players ready for this moment," he added. "We had to get that process accelerated to get players ready for the League Cup. The benefit of that is you play competitive football."We finished the pre-season work off with a good performance last weekend against Sunderland."But all that gets quickly forgotten about unless you go and get that first win as quickly as possible. We're all under the same pressures as managers."With all the optimism, it doesn't matter how many signings you've made, you just want to try and get that first three points as quickly as possible."
