New kit on e bay

[Superphil]

I'm assuming these fake companies can source the exact same materials as the real deal? If the fakes are over 30 quid, I actually think this makes the real ones OK value. Would expect fakes to be more like 20 quid.

I think there is some truth In that, I've seen a few fake shirts in my time, in some instances I'm certain the fabrics are the same, possibly made by the same people, just the badges that remain sacrosanct. As for the cost, right now they're £30 because the sellers know the real one isn't available, they'll be down to £20 or less in due course for sure.

Often the fakes are made in the same factory as the official ones but they don't put all the labels and tags on etc but just keep the machines running to make double the official run. In Chinese markets these are called genuine fakes (or at least that was the case when I was in Shanghai 13 years ago).

Love it! So there must be cases where the fakes are fake fake!

I have heard this but wouldn't risk it. If you buy a fake for you or your kids you may risk not having the correct fire protection. Also the club shop have always been really good when it comes to replacing faulty items. Some times in life you get what you pay for but football kits are extortionate now days so I can see why people buy fakes.

They are fake of course, I bought one out of curiosity, £29, it's pretty impressive for a copy, the only real visual clue is the Seagulls badge. I doubt many would spot it as a fake without close up scrutiny

Many probably wouldn't as you say, but you can tell from a distance as the American Express logo extends well into the far left and right blue stripes on the official shirt whereas the copy doesn't.

The Nike swish also extends well into the blue stripes on the original as well.

You lot ! They will have got a proper shirt from a source and reproduced it, simple as that. They just need kids sizes then we've really made it !

That's the case with a hell of a lots of products, it's a major issue in the fishing tackle business.

They're a little over a tenner here: http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-top-thai-quality-2017-2018-brighton-soccer/400497216.html

I suspect the bloke you bought it from is just buying them in bulk and applying his markup.

It says XL is a 42" chest. Going to be a bit snug

How could someone be as so stupid to put their full name and address on the listing (and Facebook)?
Expect at least a call from eBay regarding copyright infringement at the very least.

Plus they have such a great feedback score, why risk it for some knock-off football shirts?

 

[Southern Scouse]

They look so ugly in those shots on ebay.

Could be on a Paris catwalk, still a bloody ugly miss mash of a so called football shirt

Can't see any Nike tick on them ones, although it looks like something there?

Blurred to avoid obvious legal challenge, will be on the actual shirt I'd think.

So called... I'm not entirely sure what you think it should be described as then? Football shirt seems fairly accurate to me.

Take the badge off, and I'd call it a wrag.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

None of these real fakes do a Fat B@stard size. So for that reason, I'm out.

The PL have a global army of lawyers, copyright and internet experts who work 24-7. Do they police these matters too?

Oh yes didn't think about that, good point.

 

[lizard]

I'd buy one if the changed the horrid arms on them.

I don't know, but I imagine they certainly would.
Nike, the clubs and the PL surely have an action plan to stop fakes being flogged online.

It'll probably just end up with eBay giving the seller a warning and taking the ad down.
