Firstly I want to make it clear that I have no affiliation with these people.
Has anyone come across @footballantrim (on Twitter ) or https://m.facebook.com/FootballshirtsNI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ?
They claim to sell brand new and genuine shirts for £25. A friend of mine has bought a South American shirt ( Colo Colo ) and is pleased with it. It just seems a bit to good to be true for me.

They'll be from Thailand mate, all moody.
You can't make a profit selling real football shirts for £25, even Mike Ashley don't do that.

Re: Cheap football shirts
You'd be amazed at the quality of South American "fakes"
I was in a shop in La Boca in Buenos Aires earlier this year, and I ended up chatting with a shop proprietor and enjoyed a game of "is this shirt real or fake", and I could hardly tell the difference. Some of the stuff looked as good as the real stuff, and only when I saw the label was not adidas etc, then I knew.
Not all counterfeits are like this one : http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/en/tea ... 12806.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or the ones that used make us (or at least me) cringe when you might see them on holiday in Spain in the late 1990s.
However, I couldn't possibly speculate as to how good these guys are, or the quality of their shirts. Perhaps they are last seasons clobber, or potentially part of an end of season sale, which of course would mean they are bona fide, and totally cool, only at knock down prices?

Re: Cheap football shirts
Fakes, look at the colour of the barcelona shirt and compare it to the official shirts!
The only way they'd make money on real ones at 25 quid each is If they were nicked.
Either way I'd avoid!

The Thai fakes are well above and beyond that.Het-Field wrote:You'd be amazed at the quality of South American "fakes"

I can guarantee you nobody on this forum would be able to tell the difference between a good one, which you have to hunt for mind, and a real shirt that costs £45 or whatever they are.
Of course you can buy completely pony fakes for £3 that won't have labels on, but there are different grades of sides.
Same goes with other clobber from Asia.

Re: Cheap football shirts
Its incredible how the manufacturing of the label can be the difference, and one would never know the difference. I often wonder if there is any true way of actually catching out the fakes apart from their availability in naff trinket shops which pull in the tourists in these far flung places?WHUJohn wrote:

Re: Cheap football shirts
I tend to use http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk for my tops. They're usually a season behind at the earliest but always authentic.
