How authentic is this shirt?

[Seagull_Wes]

Looking to buy http://www.ebay.ca/itm/250892840530?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649#ht_500wt_1156, looks pretty accurate to be fair, but what do you guys make of it?

Checked out the Historical Football Kits website. Looks good in that respect, but you'll have to do a search, or get help from another poster, to see the artist's rendition of the kit (I don't have enough posts to access the link function.).

The line "Please note this item is a copy product" concerns me. Does that mean the replica shirt is recently-created and not an actual replica from that time? I think I'd want to see an image with a bit more detail in terms of the shirt's construction and material to make certain that what you're getting is a replica from that time and not a modern creation.

Caveat Emptor.

Badge on the original was fuzzy felt as opposed to embroided. Also my original had faded to a shade of lilac by 1984 but I did wear it a lot. Modern creation.

Doesn’t look like mine, my wife ironed mine, so there is a faded iron shape at an angle below the sponsor.
She says it was always there, so I guess that the replica does not have the iron logo it can’t be real. Sorry to disappoint you.

It's one of the Thai replicas is it not? Loads knocking about a few months ago, cheaper too, i think.

I have an original purchased from the club shop in 1983 (£3). It's not faded, was always washed by hand (but never a female hand) and is still in excellent condition. How much is it worth?

I have one of those shirts, bought it on ebay from thailand, wining bid was about 14 quid! The collars are smaller than the original and as others have mentioned the badge isn't felt and the font is SLIGHTLY different, but overall a very good copy, i LOVE mine!

Sure. The club sells these replica's in shop / online!?

Yep - needs a fuzzy felt badge and to then resemble a Man City kit after 5 washes!
