I Bought "Fake" Retro & NEW 24/25 Football Shirts Off... *Not DH GATE*

Ahh Football Shirts 😬 We love collecting them but new & official jerseys are becoming more & more EXPENSIVE. With authentic versions costing a WHOPPING £110 for the 24/25 season, people are turning to sites like DH Gate for cheaper versions. Now... I don't condone the buying of fake football shirts but I am curious as to how close they're getting, visually, to the real thing. This got me thinking 👉🏽 is it just DH Gate who're mastering the art of fakery or are there other sites out there offering a similar thing 🤔 In this "experiement" we take a look at 5 examples from a site called "Soccer 03" ...Manchester United new 24/25 Home Shirt + a retro early 90s cult classic - the green and gold MUFC 3rd kit. We also look at the new Dortmund home shirt along with a 95/96 version as well as the 24/25 Bayern Munich home shirt.

Something a little different on the channel coming to you (possibly) WEDNESDAY 👀 so I may spend a few days working on that video… KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED 🤩👍🏾

[@godzilla5502]

I find when I buy jerseys of dhgate I always get the player version “authentic” because both the badges on the front always look better when there “heat pressed” on instead of stitched on and they are always closer to being in the right spot !

[@FootballKitsoftheWorld]

What an effort - some retro or fake are much better that the real jerseys...

[@jonmichael1515]

I’m not stingy with a lot of things I buy, but I just can’t justify paying £80 a shirt that only lasts 1 season. Brentford are doing it right, keeping the same home shirt for 2 seasons and it costs £60.

[@RysFootyParadise]

The way it should be and was back in the day 👌🏾

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

You're not being stingy,tight or mean - I quite agree that £80 is a piss take. I could get a good quality model railway loco for that money and that's a hobby which got criticism for being far too unrealistically priced. Clubs are expecting fans to find £210 for a set of replica shirts!!? They can jog on. I used to think "wow, £40?" but then a home shirt would last 2 seasons and maybe even an away kit would be a 3rd strip sometimes. But no, I'm sorry there is no justification for asking twice the price but it's lifespan being only half as long. Today I picked up a Scoredraw Newcastle 1993 blue away shirt for £23 & I can customise it with an "ASiCS" logo to make it authentic. I used to have my original but it's about £200 and I wouldn't risk wearing it anyway. But NUFC are planning to make a retro away shirt and I would rather get a fake version of the Adidas 1995/96 shirt that it's based on, than waste a lot more money on a new thing. They'll be down in price by next April anyway 😕

[@TheBoboskins]

Dortmund 1995-96 stood out a mile as a fake. BVB badge wrong, Dortmund on back and sponsor fonts are bolder on the original, colour of the shirt is more fluorescent greenish on the original and not as yellow as the fake also the original has the pattern in the material where as the fake is plain. Still got my original that I bought back then. Love it. Only bought it in first place as I'm a SWFC fan and the Blades in the 90s had a great away kit that was the same colour. Couldn't buy their shirt, saw the Dortmund one and got that.

[@Yaketheminer]

Most of these “fake” shirts are coming out of the same factories as the shirts that hit the fan shop. Difference is there is no middle man (the team) marking up prices so they can sell them at much more reasonable prices. There are some really shady online shops (ie some sellers on DH gate) that do a shady job and you can tell it’s fake but, Ive received several shirts from other sites and you could not tell the difference at all between the online shop in china I ordered from and the actual team shop shirt sitting side by side.

[@DeyoutubehutvanoomSietse]

If clubs ask the realistic prices they probably sell a lot more

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

​@@DeyoutubehutvanoomSietse the clubs are becoming even more reliant on the generated revenue because of these PSR/FFP rules. Still smacks people hard in the face when they're employing millionaire players with greedy agents.

[@izozoozoidodod8762]

could you tell me the best site?

[@isaacround5548]

@@andrewphippsphillips1455 clubs make barely any money off shirt sales. 90% of the revenue goes to the kit supplier. so say an £80 shirt is sold, thats less than a tenner for the club. Shirt sales are almost negligible in the profits made by the clubs, tickets, hospitality, tv deals, sponsorships all account for much more

[@justtheguy27]

Great video! Here in India, football's popularity has steadily been rising and a lot of people have started buying their favourite club's shirts. Most of them are "fakes", since the originals cost too much. Many people cannot afford them. In their defence, the cost of simply making a fake shirt is probably the same as that of an original shirt. Original shirts cost so much more because of sponsors, taxes, dealers cut, etc. I've always gone with the fact that the "fakes" are more like factory rejects; at least the player versions because it's impossible to find a difference between them and the originals.

[@autumnmatthews3179]

I got a 24/25 Liverpool shirt from Club Retros for about half of what the club were asking. It looks pretty good and is comparable with the official hone and away shirts I got from my club Cambridge United last season. Have to say I'm lucky that my bumpage is fairly modest or the shirt would be a bit on the tight side

[@patrickpatel5527]

If Man United went back to Umbro and Sharpe I would purchase their shirt even though I’m Leicester City fan .

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Absolutely no time for Manchester United, but those early 90s shirts were nice. The red with laced collar, blue with black collar and the halved Newton Heath were very smart kits. The material on 90s shirts was better than the crappy thin things being produced now as well.....

[@klawlor3659]

​@@andrewphippsphillips1455you're not kidding. Still have the genuine blue and white man utd shirt from the mid 90s....was wearing it in Greece when I ended up having a bad scrape on a motorbike ....I was a right mess, but the shirt didn't even rip! Quality shirt!

[@samjames5552]

I kinda like the new United top. I'm not sure on the club badge for the goalie one but big fan of the sponsor. I think the away kit (that and the 3rd are already on soccer 03) are nice.

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@samjames5552 yeah the away and 3rd look a lot more detailed than the home 🤩

[@RedMachineKieran]

The new United top could pass for a Liverpool top. If that had a Liver bird instead of a United badge it would look better. And I mean that because theres no black on there that would differentiate it being a United top

[@SoAaron_]

If I could change it, I would make the brighter red stripes on the side and shorts black instead. I like the new sponsor but the kit looks cheap in quality.

[@khaiyyaamzaman2287]

Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire. the shades of yellow & green look off on the Manchester United retro shirt green looks a little bit to bright & yellow looks to pail in the vlog could just be the lighting, though I would need to see it in natural daylight to tell one way or the other. I think Manchester United should have an away kit or third kit that is half yellow & half green with black trime thought that for a long , long time but with a modern template. Keep the content coming your content has been fantastic. I watched the Portsmouth vlog on Friday. I wanted to confirm this first before I sead anything but my Dad had an anti & uncle that stayed in Gosport, my Grans brother, moved to Gosport for work reasons. Portsmouth are a club I always look out for along with Plymouth Argyle & Bristol City & I used to love travelling down to Carlisle to watch Carlisle united before the Pandemic but with all the train strikes it makes it difficult to organise now. but I try & watch as many E.F.L. games as possible per season on T.V. Always been a bit sceptical about buying fake football shirts I whare football shirts a lot of football in like a religion in the West of Scotland we live for the game. Keep Safe..

Welcome back to the “fake” shirt scene 🎉 No shirt is a fake… materials and all details are as real as any shirt you can buy. The main difference is you’re no longer being mugged off for £85+ by big brands who take a big profit from us. Bottom line all shirts come from the same warehouses etc anyway which is why they’re pretty much identical these days. You should get the same shirt from a number of “fake” sites as a comparison tool and maybe do giveaways so you’re not flooded with the same shirts 😂👍🏻
