My advice on using DH Gate, wait a few months in to the season (if you can) as the bugs, like the white not being grey on the collar, should be fixed. Also, check each sellers ratings as some are wildly different to others.
My top arrived yesterday and it's great I looked at this double TT thing and it's cleary just the top of the N and T font it's exactly the same on my old adidas top
It's something I started doing during the Ashley era and haven't looked back since can get myself every kit every year and get my son's for what it costs for one shirt , The quality of them are fantastic if you get it from a good seller and the options for retro ones are mental , No brainer for anyone who wants to show love to the TOON but doesn't want to pay alot especially with the cost of living at the moment
You show more love to the toon by buying the legit merch and putting the money into the club. Can't buy all these star players with everyone buying snides.
I'll always buy from Dhgate and similar places as long the club sells the shirt for such a high price. £70 is just ridiculous. Surely if they dropped the price by £30, they'd have more people buying them legitimately.
The black vertical trim which separates the sleeve from the torso is also missing in the fake one, first thing I noticed. Much sleeker with that black thin strip
My daughter ordered me one on the Saturday from the Newcastle store and it arrived on the Wednesday £70 pounds I know but great quality maybe it’ll last as the ones from the nineties that I am still wearing but totally agree I would bye fake ones for kids but great video
I’ve got the real one and my mates got a snide and we did this, there’s not really much difference tbf and I hadn’t bought a “new shirt” since 2012 I always just prefer the retro ones but I do like it
4 or 5 knock off's vs the Castore shirt, no brainer especially for kids strip. Sorry club dont get a cut the chinese version maker obviously dosn't care about international law, but as you said times are tough and the castore shirt not worth the price, sooner they are gone the better. Great vid by the way, might even tempt me to get a top here in Canada.
Amazed! I've just bought legit kits from the clubs store. Home and away for me and my son. Home for the Mrs and a bunch of last season's kits home for my daughters, away for me, 2nd and 3rd for my son. Names and numbers and champs league badges. We don't make it back home often and can't get tickets for games, so over indulged. Spent hundreds. Dont really have a problem as the money is going to the club and haven't bought shirts during the Ashley era in protest. But if the fakes this good Id definitely consider them for the kids. Really it's the training gear that gets me. Way over priced. Basically a gym top for 50 quid. 30 would be fair. I'd choose Newcastle merch over ordinary gym and lounge wear if it was competitive price wise. I have to say I've very carefully selected my kits, I found sizing and quality of castore stuff inconsistent. My home shirt is a medium, fits like a medium and a half, definitely larger than a couple of others I tried in the same size. Had to go for a large in the away shirt. Bought at the same time. Bizarre, pleased I didn't order online. The nufc logo on the back is wonky or not centred properly on a lot of the genuine kits. Quality control is poor. Shame as I've actually really liked the castore designs. I've wanted Adidas back but looking at some of the juventus kits I'm not so sure...
The main ways you spot the fakes of any replica shirt are: 1. The front sponsor is always a slightly different font 2. The sleeve sponsor is smaller than the real one 3. The collar/head hole is always larger on the fakes There’s many other differences but these are the ones I always notice
Not sure if it's just me or the way they are on the hangars but the middle two white stripes seem to end further up the neck line making the black across the shoulders look thinner.
I'm on about the stitching of the individual pieces that make up the shirt as mentioned from 06:29 with Deka going on to say you can't see from a distance we'll add close up pics. You can normally gauge how lucky/unlucky you've been playing DHgate bingo and how many months the fake is gonna last going by the stitching of the front to back, sleeves and trims.
Mine arrived yesterday from kakasoccer and it has a white border around the badge. Looks really nice but obviously makes it look fake straight away. Got the Premier league badge on it too for £12 delivered
The United on the fake I have don't have two tees like the real one, and are delivered probably quicker, I also have the champions league badges on minen.I still got all my old retro 80s 90s ones and wear now n then
I got the dhgate and real version last season and the stitching on the dhgate is head and shoulders above castore. It's truly embarrassing how they can justify £70.
I'm waiting for the pro version with champions league font and the Black Friday sale. No UNTTED, better quality, more comfortable material, and a decent price.
@@jimmymcdonald1329 Why is there a difference? I thought these shirts were supposed to be replicas of the player shirts? I've seen people wearing both the embroidered version and the iron on patch version, like the players are wearing.
Fan issue are usually embroidered, while the ironed on were player issue, which is the same as the one the player worn on pitch. Genuine fan issue kits are are about £80 while player issue are around £120.
Buying fake kits is the way to go. Many of these companies are making their fake versions in the same factories with same or very similar materials. The prices the clubs are putting aren’t justifiable to buy anymore, especially for people with kids and are middle class. It also helps if you don’t want to fund your clubs owners…
Got real home and away, home shirt id a great fit thiugh a size up - away had to get two sizes up and abit baggy like. First shirts ive bought in 5 years. Shocking thing is cant get infant sizes under 2 years yet, bought me son 2 England kits and a PSG mew away kit as i felt bad like - fant even get then on DH Gate in told
Sounds harsh but I always buy real for myself , for one I look after my stuff and usually only wear on game days. But I do by fake for the kids as they grow out of them before season ends, they always wear them for training and randomly plus kids don’t just want 1 kit they want about 10 lol for different training days etc and who can really afford ten real kits
Shopping2022, got CL badges & received what looks like the pro version. Only thing obviously iffy is no side slits but quality is mint. Ordered 2 Aug, arrived 15th 👍🏼
A pal who seen yous reference this site last season put me onto them. I ended up buying (we live in New zealand btw) me and the bairn home and away tops and got meself the black training one as well , as well as me pals 3 littluns (after I'd seen the qualtiy) a top each and cost next to nowt. They even sorted the separate order for the pals' bairns tops which had been Fd up and we got them a bit later .. cannit wait for all the 3rd kits etc to be released so I can order the lot 😅
Good video lads. Its a no brainer for the kids given the cost. I wouldnt worry too much about money going back into the club either. I imagine the deal castore signed with ashley means theyll gey the majority. Id heard he sold them licence to club badge!
Castore are a joke, the quality is no better in the round than a DHgate top i bought both too and cant fault the replica one at all, the comment about there being no justification for Castore charging £75 is correct it also took 3 weeks to arrrive from the club shop???? DHgate took a week from china 😂
The black stripes on the fake are less black in colour than the real ine plus that overstretched castore logo looks terrible from close up its ironic how the fake crest is spelled correctly compared to the real one HWTL
The kits are not manufactured in China...DHGate deal with Manufacturing shops in Thailand (probably the same ones who do the originals)......Just order one size up from your usual....Got a Bruno Shirt last Season and it came with shorts with his number on.....No brainier really
@@dobryden8558ash them at 30° and it won't affect it. I have a very good fake of last year's and it's only the letters that peel off. Face it, the real shirts' quality is pretty chronic so who gives a damn I've bought the fake this coming season and it's worked out cheaper than last season. In the end, I've bought a new top since the early 90s (apart from a few in the Ashley era, boycotting) and they have had thousands from me, even when they were only £40. Now, I have bought official retro shirts in this last couple of years since the takeover & that totals 10 shirts at around £35/£45 each. So they can't expect to double that price, if they're using this bunch of amateurs. When Castore are finishing, I'll consider buying a new top or perhaps just stick with my retros
Just bought the new keeper, home and away kits for my son, £45 total for 3 tops, shorts and socks…..no brainier and they last pretty well. For myself though, I bought the home shirt with badges for £78….doing my bit for the toon😂
the price is not real, in addition they charge duties, customs, taxes, and they are made in china, you need 3 weeks to receive it,,,it means that if it is 25 euro, it automatically goes up to 40-50 euro
No one knows % club gets off each shirt. Me personally still thinks Ashley has a hidden connection to Castore So hence go for fake ones until NUFC sign into a new shirt deal more beneficial to the club
@@paul2001anderson the mail on Sunday did a breakdown last week, there is no way we get anywhere near that much. Take off VAT first of all so that’s £11 off, castore will take 2 chunks, 1 for being the manufacturer and one for the retailer(if bought in the NUFC shop) that will be around £23 for each, cost to make the shirt is probably around £6-£8, cost of marketing and distribution is another £5ish. That leaves you with around £3-£5 for the club per shirt. Man U get £4.80 from Adidas per shirt so there is no way Ashley got us a deal anywhere near that. I’d be surprised if we got £3 per sale.
Yeah Castore pay to sell our shirts and due to Ashley they have us at a steal right now which is why the club looked into trying to get a new shirt contract.
I think people should really think twice before buying these. I understand people not wanting to put money into the previous owners pockets or buying retro kits, but when buying these you are basically stealing from the club at a time when it is important to improve revenue for FFP which shirt sales are part of. The real shirt will cost you £9ish a month (£80 / 9 months) which if you can't afford a ticket, is an good alternative to put money into the club.
Real one will be out of date next May which doesn't even give you 12months. My first one as a kid (unsponsored Umbro 1983) was the same design for 4 or 5 seasons. Parents don't get their money's worth now and all you get are "well you don't have to buy it" shite comments from the feckless herds, blithely shelling out obscene amounts for something obsolete in less than a year....
Welcome to Gallowgate shots shopping channel with kris and Deka. But straight of its the necklines for me, Great video lads

That's true.
I fully agreed, should waiting for a while
Fair play to the guys getting this fake one designed and out there so fast after the new home shirt is announced, they don't mess around! lol
Best advert for DH gate yet! 😂 I bought 2 retros from it & they were great but took ages mind
It’s annoying when people say it’s an obvious fake when half the time they’ve been told it is. Some of the designs are very well done.
You can tell the fake one because the club name is spelled correctly instead of saying Newcastle Untted

Always terrific content from the lads 👏
Great as always lads.
The shoulder bits also end higher up on the fake version, only other difference I could see. Good video lads 👍🏼

Bought from DHGate on various occasions.. All good with quality. Find though the names on the back tend peel off.. Anyone else get this?
They recommend cold washing them by hand and drying on a line
Excellent stuff!
Yeah, you can also see a black stripe going up the sleeve on the real and not on the fake.
Mine has a silver background on the badge as seen on the initial demo photos and on the official website, however its not on the actual shirt
Mine arrived yesterday from kakasoccer and it has a white border around the badge. Looks really nice but obviously makes it look fake straight away. Got the Premier league badge on it too for £12 delivered
Actually just seen a photo of a female player signing for the ladies team wearing the players version and it looks identical to my fans version 😮
I’m waiting on the Away shirt from DHGate. Got the official home one for Father’s Day off the kids.
The first thing I noticed was the "fake" one is more grey than black on the stripes.
Great idea lads
I honestly don’t know how DHGate are getting away with this but I’m glad they are.
Great video lads

so wheres the link to the DHGate store?
Would be interesting to know just how much the club get from shirts sold in the club shop, do they get anything when sold from Castore web site?
Are you planning to compare the 24/25 home shirt with the one ftom DH Gate
Class idea for a video lads 👍🏻 Getting alot of carragher and neville mnf analysis vibes 😂
Thickness of the lines within the Sela square are different
Tell straight away the one on the left no Castor sign on the back of the color plus the black is much darker on the original
BTW .. which DHGATE seller did you use?
Pretty easy to spot which one is the fake one.
interesting take on this stumbled across this video looking for real vs fake would you be doing the same with the away top?
We will be
Great work lads some people literally don't have a choice ££££ dictates the outcome, especially now more than ever 😀

Don't know if it's a lighting thing but the real one looks like the black stripes are darker. The fake one looks 'faded'
I think it’s the lighting - they looked the same shade in person
Can anyone tell me a the best DH Gate seller for Toon shirts ?

This was hilarious. I felt like I had to call a number to buy a toaster at one point.
The black is washed out on the fake one and the lines on cuff/collar are thicker too
That is not true if the shirt doesn't arrive you can open a case the seller resent another shirt I haven't been let down as yet

300bahts in Thailand which is about 7pound25 pence 😂
Dh gate wins every time for me
Castore is notoriously bad for QC. If I were a Newcastle fan I'd be buying all my shirts off DHGate. No question.
The real shirts go towards FFP i bought 3 x home away and alternative last season
The club will get around £4 per shirt sold (might be less) they would need to sell millions of them to even make a dent in FFP limits
@@Scottio 15 - 20% per item. if ONLY 52k people (stadium cap) purchased 3 shirts only at 70gbp thats 2.1M gpb fowards FFP

So hence go for fake ones until NUFC sign into a new shirt deal more beneficial to the club

Shirts are expensive but if you can afford it’s best to buy from NUFC as the money goes back into the club and helps with FFP.
Clubs generally make approximately 10% from shirt sale revenue. Castore will make the majority.

No castore neck label for a start 😂
For the first time ever I'm going to buy a fake shirt because I can't get a real one
Not true if your not happy with fake shirt you get a full refund I just did last week
Do you need to return the shirt though? Could be pricey to china
Left 1
In other words buy a snide
I just can't stand fake football shirts awful i know the real one's are far more expensive but i will always pay the full whack HWTL
Fake all the way I bought me and my son every top available last season training tops 4th kit the lot for less than 2 proper tops
