Hi treble could you help me please with this issue..

Just today i got the Milan home kit 06-07 from Ebay.. it's size L and according to the seller it's original



but i found some differences with the one i have in my collection..

Left side : My Milan Home Kit (M Size) Right Side : eBay Milan Home Kit (L Size)

ok.. let start the differences..

1. On my Milan kit, the shirt is plain, without pattern, but the one from eBay has this stripe/vertical lines pattern in the jersey (probably can be seen better in later pic)



2. If i turned the kit inside out, my Milan kit has the same black & red pattern, however the one from ebay is simply red..



3. Now if i take look on the small red part on the back (below Rossoneri wording).. my milan home kit is bit half circle.. but the one from ebay is more like triangle



4. If i check on the back of the embroidery part (Milan Logo), my Milan kit has some protective cloth, while the one from eBay are simply stitched on the jersey, or probably the protective layer is gone after the guy wash it over and over.. not really sure




my question is

Does the one from eBay Original or fake ? as if we check originality from the adidas 3d code label.. it's exist there..

It's a fake. Even from your first photos I can see the material is sucj poor quality compared to what your shirt is. The embroidery looks very poor quality and details in comparision to your shrit. The placing of the embroidery and sponsor again is all wrong compared to yours. Again the inside shirt colour on your shirt is correct and the while red one is just so wrong. Sorry but someone has sold you a dodgy shirt

hey is this authentic?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ITALY-PUMA-FOOTBALL-...1QQcmdZViewItem


and has this shirt supposed to have 3 stars above the italia sign or am i mistaken?

that one is the 4 stars version.. used after Italy win World Cup

for the authenticity, can't determined from that little pic

cool, well i emailed the seller and asked him some questions on the shirt. i want to know what the puma badge is supposed to be made from.

is this one authentic? i thought it was supposed to have some stars abouve the italia sign?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-08-ITALY-Azzuri...1QQcmdZViewItem

becasue i swear ive seen this shirt with 3 stars above the italia sign. and anyone know from what year this kit is from?
cheers.

The shirt was the away kit used from early 2003 until about March 2004 before the Euro 2004 home and away kits were released. It is obviously not 2006-08 as the seller says. I am not convinced from the photos that it is real from just 1 photo but the other shirts the seller has appear to be ok so who knows. More photos would be needed for a real answer

I have the home shirt from that season, the 3 stars are on the sleeve. Unless it's a player issue one or something, I'm sure it should have a Puma 'authentic replica' black label printed on the bottom, though I could be getting it mixed up with the Monaco shirt from that season.

right well ive been looking for loads of italy shirts from euro 2004 and i noticed some were different to the others, alot of them had a puma badge right underneath the italia sign, and some didnt, does it mean the one wothout the puma badge is fake?

here is the one WITHOUT

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=021

so does that mean these are real ones?

1. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=003

2. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=007

3. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=006


also is this one real or fake, it has the puma badge underneath but the italia badge looks smaller then the other ones.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=023


and if anyone has this perticular year of shirt would u recommend getting one sizer larger then what u are. because i know italy PUMA shirts are much tighter then the usual other PUMA products.

cheers.

Even though I own it, I was never a huge fan of the shirt in question so I'm not an authority. I'll tell you what I can though.

Initially I thought that maybe the lack of Puma logo on the front of the first shirt was maybe Italy reverting to their old trademark of having no kit supplier logos on the shirts for the players, but I searched images for Euro 2004 and the Puma logo is definitely their. However, even when real, isn't exactly great quality, especially those Puma logos, which look awfully worn out and about ready to fall off despite the fact its only been worn and washed about 3 times. It's possible that is a real shirt and the logo has come off it.

Treble is probably better equipped to tell you if the others are real, but as for sizing, it really depends on your build. I usually buy XL because I like shirts baggy, but I can wear L, because I'm a bit of a beanpole. My version of this top is L, and it doesn't really seem much tighter than any of my shirts I have in L. If you are quite slim built I'd imagine your normal size would be ok, if your bigger built maybe buying a size up is advisable.

With regards to the one with no Puma it actually looks the bset shirt of the lot, colour and cut wise so it is possible it is real but the Puma logo has fell off or it was a slight second and was never applied in the first place by mistake. The others to be honest you cannot really expect anyone to give a proper answer based on the 1 photo shown for each shirt. Only when you seen neck labels, inner labels and authenticity tags can you be sure what is fake and what ios not fake.
If you want real Euro 2004 home and away shirts then it would be easier just to buy them new and you will know you have a real shirt then that it not full of holes and bobbles.

I've got the shirt, and this particular one seems larger than other Puma shirts of the same size. I have it in medium, and it feels larger on me than my Olympiakos and Lazio shirts, which are both large.

what about the online shops of tottenham and everton - do they use authentic printing or plastic replica?

Plastic replica. No club shop really sell the authentic player size Lextra print apart from time to time the Arsenal stores when printin on bigger adult shirts. Most use plastic replica

thought so, thanks

would the store printing still be good quality and have the same look of the shirts that actually play in the PL?

Theyre exaclty the same material and design but the actual ones the players wear are bigger in size. They are the most official and realistic members of the public can get so theres nothing to worry about. You arent getting second rate printing.

So this SoccerPlus site is legit?
I know treble recommended them, but it just doesn't seem right that they'd still have all those old kits for some reason.
Plus, I just wanted to make sure cause I'm planning on buying from them in the next few days.

Not really true. The replica printing is plastic and smaller. The players printing is Lextra fetl or flock material. It is personal preference but compared to Lextra players printing I class the plastic replica printig as second rate



Yes they have genuine shirts. I wouldn't recommend any shop or seller if I wasn't 100% sure they were legit

hey trebble do soccerplus ship to england? you know how much it would cost? because on their site i cant find any info on international postage costs or even if they do it.

im just wondering on this shirt what does the description mean by saying the name and numbers is done by "chris kay U.k"?

http://www.soccerplus.net/productinfo.php?id=3323

I have used it a few times and they do ship to the UK. Shipping is about 25 USD whihc is bout 13 GBP. Not too bad as it is a courier which is generally more expensive. Chris Kay is the company that produced this numering. It means you are getting official numbering

I dunno about the online store, but Arsenal's actual stores at the Emirates sell Lextra printing.

hey do these look like real player name and number sets?

the del piero looks authentic i think? but the totti is abit yellow, but maybe thats the camera? are the letters and numbers thr right size?

Yes the seller is legit so it is likely that the camera flash has cuased it to appear lighter.

cool, well i might have to buy it then. can i ask what makes you know there legit?

Just because I know the seller is legit. They have the official lextra players EPL numbering and the puma stock will have come from the same official suppliers. A who has legit lextra items is not going to waste their reputation by selling 99% genuine goods and then throw in a couple of fake Italy prints....common sense really mate

yea i guess so....

is this authentic??

Treble, on Soccerplus they have this Bergkamp shirt, and it mentions nothing of Bergkamp in the description and says "ADD ANY PLAYER N&N FOR $17.99." I just wanted to make sure that if I order this, I will be getting it with Bergkamp on the back and not just a plain shirt.

The same case with this Van Nistelrooy shirt, except I'm sure pretty sure it will have a name on the back since it says V. Nistelrooy in the description. I just wanted a confirmation on this one before I spend my money on these shirts.

Thanks!

Very unauthentic.....



For the shirt with bergkamp I am pretty sure if you order it you will get a plain shirt, un-numbered. If you check the shop they usually advertise it this way already printed to save too many photos being on the site. For the van Nistelrooy i'd say pretty much the same but you's be better e-mailing the shop and having them confirm this or not. From what I gather they are saying that the name and number will be $17.99 extra in each case if they are still available

is this authentic??

i know the season has ended but it seems very cheap for a genuine shirt??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Barcelona-Home-Shirt...1QQcmdZViewItem

The photo isn't great but it looks quite low quality. I'd say that the seller probably sells fakes

okay well i emailed the guy and asked him if its 100% real and whether the badges were embroidered and a few more questions on the barca shirt and he wrote back and this is his answer:

"Yes mate the nike swoosh is embroided as is the nou camp 50th and the lfp badge on the sleeve the shirts are 100% real all of the copys of barca shirts dont have the gold trim on the sleve and bottom as my shirts have"


is he still untrustworthy?

Completely untrustworthy. He might well be really thick and actually think he is selling real shirts which I don't think for a minute he is. If you want me to be brutal then I think that thes seller is just full of crap. Some will tell you what you want to hear and scream that their shirts are real even when presented with blatant facts that they are not genuine. His pictures do not show amny lower hem or sleeve colour trim on the home or away shirts. Take alook at his Barca away shirts, they are appauling fakes.
Another thing you need to realise is that if a seller is genuine then he will more than likely have a different array of sizes like S, M, L. XL or XXL. All he sells are XL - the most common fake size.

Anybody know if www.mmsports.com is legit? I've never heard of it and I'm a little cautious because of that and some of the pics look a little "un-professional"(I guess that's what you'd call it). It seems alright, but I just wanted a confirmation cause my mom is buying me something from here and I don't want to waste her money or anything like that.

Totally legit, usually quick shipping as well. Have used it a few times

Hey, I've got a quick jersey question:

I just received a Puma Poland 2006-2007 home jersey. The material is not like my other jerseys as it is a non-stretch shell material that has the little "rip-stop" squares like a backpack, and on the materials tag it says "shell material." The badge and Puma logos are embroidered too.
I ordered this jersey from a reputable dealer, but is this jersey supposed to be like this?

My brother, on the other hand, has a Puma Poland 2006-2007 home jersey that he bought in Poland that is like the other jerseys I have, stretchy, etc. ALSO interesting is the fact that the national badge is that applied plastic stuff and the Pumas are applied felt.

Anyone got any ideas?

by the sound of it your kit seems authentic.

It's just weird that a jersey would be made of non-stretchy, shell stuff.

Are the CL patches/previous winners badges sewn on or heat pressed on onto the sleeves?

If you are meaning the Adidas AC Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich CL shirts that are released every year licensed by UEFA complete with badges already on the shirt then they are official Lextra patches but instead of being heat pressed on they are machine stiched around the outer edge. The reason for this is so they stay on as it can be difficult to press badges on to raised sleeve stripes without them eventually lifting. Any other shirts should be heat pressed as the badges will have been added after.



Your shirt is authentic as it is what most of the Puma 2006-07 national team shirts were made from apart from a couple of African ones which were lower quality polyester shirts(Togo, Ghana, Egypt and maybe one more). Your brothers shirt is one of two things. It is either completely fake or it is a low quality budget shirt which Puma have made to sell in Poland as they maybe do not think that Polish people will pay the equivalent to 40 GBP for the real shirts and so make a cheap one. I am not sure as I never seen any lower quality shirts available by Puma similar to nike and theri 2nd tier shirts.

They do, or at least did, exist, I've got an old Czech Republic away one that is 'real' as in it comes from Puma, but its a far cry from anything the players wore on the field.

Hi guys - wondering if you can help me out. Dont really know much about kits and am wondering how a shirt can be £20/£30 on ebay, yet £40 on sites like subsidesports.

Im looking at these Spain Home shirts with Cesc:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=360062886590

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=320264623224


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=220247564304

Are these authentic? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. I have emailed the sellers asking if the shirts are '100% official or replicas?'.

The simple reason those are cheaper is becuase everyone is a fake. The sellers only offer M and XL whihc is the 2 common fake sizes. They also say they have the 'official UEFA 08 sleeve badge' which isn't correct as the official Lextra patch is not available to the general public. Some of these shirts take 7-10 days for delivery ever though the seller is already in th UK. How is this? Simply because the shirt is being shipped from Asia and not within the UK. Once of the Spain shirts also have white size details printed in the neck when they should be silver. There is every chance the seller will say they are 100% real but if you are being honest you ain't gonna admit to selling fakes and dent your chances of sales aren't you?
If you want a real shirt go to a reputable store

Hi m8 - first off gotta say Im impressed with your knowledge. Popped in this thread occasionally and sometimes its quite scary how much you seem to know.

I think ill be getting my shirt off one of the big websites, unfortunately all of them seem to be out of stock on Mediums atm.

I must admit though, I thought this shirt:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=360062886590

was genuine - just by trying to compare the images it looked identical aside from different lighting conditions. Was it from the description 'OFFICIAL EURO 2008 BADGE ON RIGHT SLEEVE' that you were able to figure out its a fake?

No I can see it is a fake from the fact the badge is out of proportion and the colours and blend of it are wronf. Also the sleeve badge is fake and the size details printed inside the neck should be silver and this shirt is clearly white. That's how I know it is fake

To be fair, a shirt could be cheaper than it is in shops if it's a b-grade or something. If someone has access to factory seconds they can usually sell them for up to half price and still make a tidy profit (the profit shops make on the shirts is absurd)

Treble, I emailed them 4 days ago(June 15th) and still have not recieved a reply. Is this normal?

Not in my experience. He maybe is checking to see if he can still get the number set if you asked about that. I've always had a quick reply though

is this authentic?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...bayphotohosting

Shit! Youd be happy if you could get 115 bucks for a fake.

Is that mook claiming it's match-worn, or that it's the same design as that which they wore during the tourney? I think people are getting confused.
