Today, for science, I bought a real and genuine Manchester City shirt manufactured by PUMA, and a fake Manchester City shirt manufactured by somewhere in Turkey or China. Unsure. DHGate were the culprits regardless. - Спорт
Cost me $170 for a Castore Villa shirt because of shipping fees and converting pounds to Canadian dollars. Absolutely criminal
Criminal that you'd pay that in the 1st place lol
I’d argue DHGate is better quality than Castore
@@VillaDan😂😂😂💯
Buying a Castore kit is the worst thing you could have done. Terrible quality.
@@signoresantinoburnett1169 especially how aston villa player come out looking like
I own a few fakes, the quality comes and goes I find. For jerseys without much printing or a sponsor like international kits I think their perfect, for club jerseys the quality is a bit more varied and things will start to peel after a few washes, but I'll happily take a slightly wonky crest if I'm saving 60 quid. And for exclusive or retro jerseys it's literally the only way to go if you can't be arsed shelling out a months worth of groceries for a t shirt.
If its a castore kit the sponsors start peeling too, or in some cases with he Villa kits this year, the crest falls off in the wash lol
What sites are best for retro jerseys?
Came from same factory in Vietnam or Indonesia.
I am a jersey factory from China, if you need I can provide you, cheap price, very good quality!😀
@@Nihao_Ninjas I am a jersey factory from China, if you need I can provide you, cheap price, very good quality, also can customize your own special jersey!😀
Again, I'm just here to provide my unbiased non football fan opinion. My brother is an insane football fan (particularly Liverpool; make of that what you want) and he used to swear by only getting the real kits.
He know has an 8 year old who is starting to play semi seriously (training and a match each week) who insists on having every kit.
Back when I was a kid it seemed like a new kit came out once every other year (maybe every year) but he explained to me now there are 3 normal kits, 2 keeper kits and a training kit too?!
He's swapped to fakes for the past 2 years and instead of spending £700 (random number) on kits each Christmas, he is getting all of them + more for like £200
I can't tell the difference, the kids can't tell the difference. Only some absolute weapon of a dad wearing Balenciaga in a Chelsea tractor can.
I'm all for fake kits, just like I was for limewire back in the day. Yes it's horrible that they're made in sweatshops, but in all honesty, are the factories that make the real ones truly any better?
Edit: Gramma + love the content CC, keep it coming 👍🏻🤜🏻
€78 over here in Ireland, and that's without a number on the back.
I used to religiously buy every kit growing up, now I don't buy any of the legit kits. Fake kits exist as a response to an utterly broken market. My €12 home shirt with names and badges will do me just fine.
Exactly. Adidas and Nike charge us £100 for something that costs £2 to produce and make anything between £30 and £60 pure profit. They then spend that profit by paying Mbappe and Haaland £3M a year to wear their boots.
@@creasicle I own a jersey factory and support OME, 2 euros is way too low!😂
I think people don’t seem to realise that the ones you get in Chinese sites are usually seconds or overproductions. Those shirts will have been made in the same factory but will have been deemed unsuitable to sell for the full price due to the most minor of errors on them. The best way clubs can stop this is just charge a reasonable price. £40-45 for a shirt that’s valid for 2 seasons and people will buy them. Charge £80+ for single season shirts and consumers have no choice but to get them for £15. And I don’t blame them.
Exactly. When we stopped being seen as fans by our clubs and became customers I stopped buying from them.

4:15 eating a jive bar as I’m watching. I will NOT be having any Aldi slander here thank you very much, goated shop and goated chocolate bar 😤
You should do a Mandela effect video edit some kits and put the real image vs edited one any see if we remember them differently
Definitely should make a bigger shout about this tbh because you're bang on
A family of four, let's say both kids want a shirt (god forbid a full kit), maybe one of the parents would like a new one, plus tickets and match days that's getting to crazy money. No wonder people are buying the Chinese ones, don't blame them one bit
Yes, my jersey factory always gets tons of orders 3 months before the season!🤣
i recently got a bayern 2014 kit off dh gate and i swear they've given me a real one
Good review, thanks.
I just bought my self a replica/fake Manchester City Third kit (Made in China of course) And it actually looks really good. It’s looks like the exact same as the authentic one except it doesn’t have puma and the lightning isn’t in the right place as the authentic one.
I thought the left one was fake because the logo goes on top of one of the lightning bolts, and that the puma and club logo is too far to the sides. They don't line up as well with the Etihad text.
It typically shows in the stitching and quality of the material which isn't always easy to spot online.
I've been buying fake shirts for nearly 5 years now. The quality keeps improving. The difference is marginal especially when you get the players versions. The Fake Players version cost £14, the original cost £110 and you'll hardly see any difference.
Tell me where you get the from?
I get from DHgate every year but never get a name on the back and try and wash in the machine
I buy all the new LFC shirts from the official club shop (or get them for birthdays or Christmas) I can see why people will opt for the DHgate. I have bought some retro shirts off there though such as the LFC Candy "Fleck" shirts. 4 washes (air dried) and the sponsor and logo were destroyed. The sizing is also inconsistent bought two shirts from the same seller (LFC '95 Home&Away) same size fit incredibly different. Buy legit if you can.
In canada a club jersey is s123$ without numbers and patches, fake one is 28$ with numbers and patches
Love this!
You are right Ciaran
My brother bought himself a fake 23/24 away Arsenal shirt. It hadn't even been officially unveiled at that point and yet there were already people selling fakes of it lol. But I have to say it was a pretty good quality fake. One of the best ones I've seen
One issue you didn't bring up is that the fake shirts are smaller and tighter than the real ones so you have to go up a size or two and hope it fits when it gets there. They also wear down way faster than the legit shirts with the numbers and letters usually beginning to fall off after one or two washes. I've bought a ton of DHgate knockoffs but I find that I only ever actually wear my legit shirts because the quality is so much better.
This curious, because this is not my experience at all. I would honestly not go for DHgate, go for some of the reputable ones like mine jerseys or jjsport, and the size part, they have caught on, and so has the quality imo. I have an original Spain shirt, original York city shirt, and I still cannot say that they have his issue of wearing out. I would honestly recommend trying some better sources, even Pandabuy is amazing. I got a mystery shirt for 2 quid, and the quality was on par with what I saw at sportsdirect
@@HenrikCOYG oh gotcha, yeah DHGate is pretty bad in this regard, I'll have to try out some other sites
I don’t agree with this as a blanket rule. The sizing is usually correct. The only issues I have ever had is on the lettering and numbering on the back on occasion.
My jersey factory can give you the best quality and the cheapest price. Their price is usually 15-20 dollars😁
I think the fake ones are authentic built from the same place but are rejected from the factory for some reason or another. Seen it happen years back with Pokémon Center character plushes where the stitch detail placement or accuracy was just off. Kinda like leftover chips.
That’s not true, they wouldn’t have so many if that were the case.
@@lgschaefI get your point but this is concerning batches of items or a run that is just off or mistaken.
Absolutely not correct
the factories run extra off-contract hours so that small time dealers can come in to buy and sell
@@gaburrito07 would those extra off-contract copies be in the same condition as the originals or rushed and messy?
I guessed the right one as real, because on the left one the puma badge looks too far over to the left
I once bought a fake Roma shirt whilst in rome and it fell apart after wearing it for a few days 😅 only cost about €15 mind. Would always buy the originals now but agree that the prices for a legit football shirt are ridiculous.
NEVER buy a kit in Italy that is fake. They're the worst.
with kits being so expensive these days like in NZ where i live it costs like $130 for a shirt so i tend to only buy a real jersey if its my teams jersey
Canada National team kit before Qatar 22 was $200 CDN here in Canada.
I am the factory that makes the jerseys, the genuine jerseys are only $15-$20 after our cost break down. The only difference is that our jerseys have less "identity" than the original.🤣😂
POV: Bruno Guimarães every time he scores💀💀
Great video, I always find with fakes you can tell them apart by some detail- the only fake I’ve not been able to tell apart from the real thing was a Juventus humanrace shirt (makes sense I recon)
I knew it was the one on the left because of the puma logo
Id rather pay £20 for few fake ones than £100 for 1 real 🤷🏻♂️
Btw if anyone wants to know how to tell witch is witch u can see by the authenticity badge on the bottom
Can someone please explain what makes a real Jersey real to a fake. Who needs to make it we’re does it need to come from what does it need to be made from an what does it need to have on it to be constituted as real or fake. I understand shorty stitching an stuff an crap material but we’re do you get a constant stream of authentic high quality pro team jerseys
Counterfeit shirts are good when getting retro kits
I must say I would never pay full price for an authentic jersey… cuz the “cheap” fake ones… are becoming more and more realistic. I bought a French national jersey and it’s damn near perfect IMO…. For 17$USD. (You have to wait almost 3-4weeks)
I could tell by the sleeves, the authentic jersey has looser longer sleeves
The Chinese Titanic sank before it was completed.
You can tell it by puma logo that the right jersey of original and left fake. Just look at the front legs.
I could tell the left one was fake there's subtle differences but I spotted em haha
I get my boy a real Liverpool kit every year and all the rest come from dhgate. I can afford to get him about 5 for the price id pay for another real one. No brainer
It's insanity that anyone would choose to buy the rip off version
After a few months the cheap ones fall apart. All the labels and words start peeling off
You can definitely tell the puma badge is different
if you know what your looking for its quite evident. The sleeves are a massive give away
All my kits are fake aside from the Juventus Centennial pink kit that I got the team to sign.
There are grades for the fake jersey. Some are really bad & some are near perfection. Getting a fake jersey is pretty easy in my country with helps of many online platform. We can get a pretty good one for only 5 quid. No joke. While the official cost around 93 quid. As I know, fake jersey from Thailand have a decent quality compared to one from China.
What would be websites with the "good" fake jerseys? Do you have recomendations?
@@J4irz1nho My jersey factory can give you the best quality and the cheapest price.
I use Soccer03 same price with shorts for the kids literally couldn’t tell difference to the legit in sports direct was spot on material and colours ; non of these differences like the ones on here
Going with both real for the first one🤞
I bought 2 fake shirts from a market in Thailand for a combined price of about £8 and still can’t really tell the difference between them and real shirts
That's a feels bad moment right there. Not in a derogatory way, but your eyes might need to be checked out if that statement is legit.
@@kizer0161you clearly don't understand that "fakes" are getting better each year, so much better that the price for the original isn't justifiable anymore
I knew the right one was real because the puma logo
where do i get the 13 pound jersey fam?
I have it here.
I think the puma logo was the only real giveaway, looked a bit off colour and deformed on the fake
Instantly knew it was the right one that was real, not sure why
damn pedri's english is pretty good
Yes
To be fair, most people couldn't tell the difference between a real and fake Man City shirt because there aren't enough real Man City fans to judge between whether what they're wearing are real or fake shirts.
If their owners could buy fans like they bought titles, then maybe we might have such an opportunity.
Lovejersey888 sales since this video 📈📈
I mean, if i were to only get real football jerseys, I'd get atleast 1 jersey per year. Imo, fake football jerseys are just simply for the people who just want to support their clubs but simply don't have the money to do so, there are young football fans who just simply want to wear their favorite footballers jersey but can't or aren't willing to pay such a high price. So i say, just let them have a go.
Also, God bless everyone.
a 50-50 is a success for the clones
Fake one good enough for me. The original ones are too expensive.
The video you used that refers to you not stealing, stole the music fo that exact same video 😅😆🤣😂🤣
They're not identical and a collector would be able to tell the difference.
That said most of us aren't collectors and unless someone gets right up close they're not gonna know.
I've bought loads of shirts off dhgate and I've definitely got a few duds.
The two main rules are 1) don't buy shirts before they've been released, people always do this and it never ends well.
2) always use trusted sellers with thousands of sales and minimum 98.5% rating.
Do this and nine times out of ten you'll be fine.
The cost of football shirts is an absolute disgrace and if people don't vote with their feet in a couple of years we'll be paying £105 just for a fan version like they do with NFL jerseys.
Meanwhile, I use the cheap copy of fake version. 😂
@5:40: "I love City, but I'll never ever pay 75 pounds at the beginning of the year"
You have literally just done that, mate :)
I'd buy the original ones if they were up to 30 quid
100 quid for a shitty cloth?
I have a collection full of fakes and they look better than the real ones sometimes. I can buy 5 fakes for the price of 1 "original"
In africa,when your hear “it’s Chinese”,that means it’s fake.When you you hear “it’s Turkish” ,it means it’s “almost” original.
Where did you buy that shirt?
I can here, my jersey factory lowest price, best quality
Thats the third shirt mate not away
The real one looks slightly bigger..
Both cost about £1 to make
i have the extact one it cost 126 quid! from unisport
They make by the same supplier
What’s the link for the fake one please
I think the website is dhgate but I could be wrong
Imagine in the future..., going home and two identical wife's are waiting..., one is real and one is fake....exactly like those two Man City shirts.. Thank you...
the difference is there's no referee in his back pocket ....
The real differences might start to show after a couple of wash-wear cycles ;)
After you the chananpion league logo I know if was fake because you need wins 3 yrs in a row and/or 5 times in club history I’m champions league only English football club can put the. Shirts. Liverpool because they win 6 times the under champions league rules to me every club won in champions leagues should be able a cup thirst atms and how time wins it all comp the on
I will never buy a full price shirt. £75+ is criminal so I have no reservation in buying fake!
Anyone got good websites to get cheaper kids can’t find any that don’t look dodgy
Do people not have a family to feed? 😂 New shirt? That’ll be 348£
even the genuine jersey is also produced in China….🤷🏻♂️…most sporting goods are Made in China nowdays…
Wait till you wash it and all the printed labels fall off
Hand wash it
CHINA!
Cmon what is not fake about man city tho?🤣🤣
Would you really be that bothered with such a huge difference in the price? Not worth buying the expensive one anyway, they will change the kit again in a few months time.
Well i used to buy rhe fakes, the fabric quality is shit, when you wear it, you will always be smelly.
1 hint if you buy fakes get size larger
I Can tell the difference if it's not Chelsea its fake.
id really like you to give that explanation of more saturation in my next meeting with the marketing department. the uncultured swines.
One is fake just like the city fans
Didn't PEPSI make this contest in the 90's?
Fake shit is always better as it's cheaper and fuck paying big prices for other people's branding. Cotton is cotton no?
Both made in china anyway 😹
Fake better price.
No but i could spot the fake club
Dont get my wrong, but in my eyes the fake City logo looks better😂 Why buy a 100 quid jersey if you can have 4 fakes or even tracksuits
Hi guys 🎉
Fakes are more better
I use JJSport for my replica kits, bought a United shirt at the start of the season and it's still holding up great. Only cost a tenner or so, so I'm not complaining
Puma badge looks dogde on the fake one which is why i said the right
How people couldn’t tell that the badges are in the wrong place on the fake I will never know
Bloody hell, a City fan. I didn't know they existed.
Both from a fake club
Class video as always. These counterfeit shirts are, at the end of the day, fake and scummy. So I guess they fit City.
They are, but I'd argue that paying £80 for one shirt is also scummy.
@@ImKingKota i don't disagree, i'd buy the fakes too
