Don't be surprised if they came from the same factories as the 'genuine' articles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 i'd stay faaaar away from replica clothes if you're looking for quality... if its jut the brand name you're interested in, go ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Are the soccer jerseys of the exact same quality? I have many in my wardrobe, and ooooh, a lot of them were so god damn expensive, but they're really well made. The funny thing is, many of the ones I have were made in Canada.

cwai02 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Some of the soccer jerseys I got have very good quality. The common problem is the number/name printing at the back will fall off after wash. Also, it's a bit too small even for an XL. You can check ebay. You should be able to find a lot of replica jerseys. There are also replica Prada, Burberry and Armani clothes, but those are too fake imo.

A gen soccer shirt is something thats really worth it. My Von Dutch shirt was a present from a friend, and yes, it was only about the name, not thw quality!

I have a home England jersey that I have worn far more than 100 times, and it hasn't shown any signs of wear so far. I have something like 30 soccer jerseys at home, and really beat all of them up, and no problem. None of them have faded so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were really expensive, but none of those have indeed faded....well, although Ajax has faded soccer-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) Damn, catch a few hours sleep and I miss out I think the stitching is slightly inferior on the "Thailand" replica jerseys (funnily enough the original jersey bought in a shop is called a replica jersey too). That may come loose, and yes they tend to be slightly smaller than XL. Good thing I've lost weight since this time last year, I like those stretchy Kappa ones now The other thing you can do is get a jersey just as a new design is coming out... then you get it cheap, although I got the last red England jersey with Carragher 23 on the back for 15 GBP (about 30 Canadian dollars). I have rarely had a problem with numbers coming off the back of the fake jerseys, just the corner of the V on the VAN BASTEN Holland Jersey. The other problem was Cruyff was spelled incorrectly as CRYUFF on one, so I sent a pictur to the guy and he sent me a new one. The other problem was I couldn't get my neck through a XL Spain Away ALONSO 16 jersey, but again he sent a new one. This guy I get them from, I have dealt with over a year directly so it's no problem. He has the new Holland, Portugal, Spain, France, Brasil, Italy, Czech Republic and Ukraine shirts and includes the name and number in the price FYI, I've compared the store-bought jersey to the fake (Portugal home and Argentina away - I'd paid 25 GBP each for them without the names and numbers) and there isn't much in the way of difference or feel, just the size is usually not as big. I got a bunch of Liverpool ones made up last year with "Los Reyes De Europe 05" , "Champions of Europe 5 times" etc etc, no extra charges to get the champions league numbers or patches. There are also sellers on eBay that have real shirts that are top quality though they tend to be old. If allowed, look in the sales section of www.subsidesports.co.uk for sometime bargains, they tend to have the rare hard to find ones - I prefer shirts with no sponsor, so it's great to get that Kappa Napoli shirt etc. Edited April 14, 2006 by Chronus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 PS. I was addcted to buying soccer jerseys, I have probably 100-150 of them now, so the Thailand ones are a good way of getting all those at cheap prices with a player's name on the back. This jersey-buying eventually led me back to watches (an interest I had at 18) and to RWG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 PPS. I got a friend of mine to get me a Toronto Mapleleads jersey, and a Canada jersey out in Toronto I just couldn't bring myself to wear a USA one though, so sorry to all the Americans on here. Like a Cnadian friend always tells me, Canadians are loved throughout the world but Americans not always are... and it's very true. And before anyone retaliates and I start off something, it's usually the Americans who leave their countries who are the most level-headed and know about the world of the Americans. I've been to America a few times, one time for a month, and went all the way from CT, NYC, to NJ, PA, KY, OH, IN, Chicago, and other places in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Forgot to say the Canada jersey is for ice hockey. I'd have more US Football and NHL jerseys if they weren't so "loud". When I was 18 that's all I would wear but nowadays it's sponsorless soccer jerseys like the Kappa ones, or say Real Madrid, Atletico, Barca, Borussia Dortmund, and national teams, Mexico, Italy, Spain etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
