Sounds legit.......

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

You can tell it's fake, the real one will have an iron on sponsors logo!!

The guy gives his address in Waterlooville and states free collection.

They look so ugly in those shots on ebay.

 

[Gabbafella]

I can get them cheaper.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Do they do them in kids sizes?

So long as clubs charge so much for footie shirts, and this year sees another increase in the prices of the Albions kits, the fakers will continue. The one I bought seems perfectly well made, the fabrics are pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing, the attention to detail is impressive, seems odd that the team badge seems intentionally wonky.

Sheffield FC have taken the alternate route, and launched there new shirts for fans at £20

Google "Thai quality football jersey Brighton" and you'll find them cheaper.

not sure i understand why you'd want to buy a fake football shirt. why wear a football team shirt, to support the club or because its a good look? given the latter only applies to a few shirts, you'd buy from the club to help support/fund them.

or is this the peer pressure thing that people say they "must" have new shirt, so happy to buy a fake because offical are considered expensive? which is another odd one when there is such a trend for retro shirts. so people convince themselves they need the new one, then buy a fake?

Because folks are either unwilling or unable to fork out £45 for an official.

The ironic 'AUTHENTIC' label. An authentic fake.

I perfectly understand why people buy fakes instead of being ripped off for originals which are ridiculously over priced.

Is the right answer, mark up is far too high for what they are

A plastic top.

Whereas Richard $$ Scudamore would describe it as a well crafted garment made of special breathable membranes, carefully stitched and with iconic badges.
