Has anyone used this football shirt site?

The shirts are cheap as chips. My mate however thinks there fakes, although I know someone else who bought off them and claims there good quality.

Just wondering if anyone else has bought from them before and what the shirts are like.

I haven't used the site, but having had a quick look the delivery is 2-4 weeks. That seems to me that they're coming from the Far East. In all likelihood they will be fake, but I've had a few from ebay previously, and they're pretty good fakes

Fakes

[hollowsr]

They are fakes but top quality mate. They come from Hong Kong mine took just over 2 weeks to get here. I got an AC Milan top with Flamini 84 on the back and I love mine will probably order more in the New Year.

[Presty On Tour]

At that price they have to be fakes.

They do look good in the pics though, I'm tempted to purchase the Fiorentina and Roma jerseys and use them for football training.

For the people who have bought them, how can you tell they are fake? poor quality materials? stitching or colour perhaps?

Im thinking of getting a Boca juniors shirt with Riquleme 10 and a Barcelona top with Gudjohnsen 7 on it. Works out at about 14.99 for shirt name and number. Reckon thats a good price for a good fake? I only wear footy shirts to play football in so if there good quality then I dont mind if there fakes or not.

I got a couple of fakes in Tunisia last week - Real Madrid home with RvN 17 on and Italy home with Cannavaro 5, £15 each. Really good standard fakes. This site looks very similar.

I got quite a lot of similar shirts a few years ago from various people on ebay - usually from Hong Kong and Thailand. To be honest, almost every single was top notch.

When people think of fakes, they usually think of the type of shirts you can buy off Del boy and Rodney where everything is printed. In Thailand/Hong Kong etc they probably make the shirt exactly how the big brand manufacturers make them but just don't work for the actual company. Everything will be stitched exactly the same way and will look 99.9% accurate. Personally I think it's a superb deal.

[benhben]

Ordered a Boca Juniors shirt with Riquleme 10, and a black AC milan 3rd shirt with 7 Pato on the back. The black milan top looks quality.

[T4E]

Kept us up to date when they come Ben, if they're good standard I'm going to have a spend up.

When they arrive Ill take some photos and post them and let you know the quality of the stitching etc. Should be here in about a month.

Also if any members on here have young kids, the kids jersys come with a shirt name, number and shorts for just 6.99 plus postage. Thats a fab deal, especially when kids are unlikely to notice or care if there copies or not. Just go on kids shirts on the left menu and take a look.

Just a football shirts question for people in general - I'm looking for an obscure shirt (Heracles kit, Darl Douglas name on the back). Does anybody know where I could procure this? I've tried e-mailing them but the address on the official site doesn't seem to work for me. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

[T4E]

Why??

[bellamy11]

Christmas present for my housemate. I've got a feeling it's going to be a difficult one. Darl doesn't seem to have the superstar status and worldwide appeal as I would have hoped.

Have you tried translating and buying off the official website?

You could have a look on ebay or somewhere for just the shirt then go to a local shirt printing firm (theres usually loads) and get whatever you want printed on the back.

I couldn't be bothered waiting, so I've just ordered Argentina home + Messi 19, Barcelona home + Xavi 6, Boca Juniors home + Riquelme 10, Spain home + Torres 9 AC Milan home + Kaka 22, Juventus home + Del Piero 10 and Inter home + Ibrahimovic 8.

£92 for 7 shirts is a bargain, if it turns out that they are decent enough fakes.

Did you have to pay by PayPal btw?

[benhben]

Hahaha thats a fair order Tugay!

Yes we had to pay via pay pal. When we first logged into paypal from the site it was all in thai writing and was unreadable which put us off abit, however when we logged in as my paypal rather than my dads it was all in English. Weird. This happen to you?

[Hughesy]

Have the shirts not arrived yet? I want to order too, but not until I can be sure on the quality.

To be honest mate no, it was all in English as soon as I clicked on it. I did think it was a bit weird that they didn't take cards but still.

They'll take a while Hughesy, normally between 2 and 4 weeks.

[rog of the rovers]

The website is on the football 365 forums and plenty of people on there are happy with them, although they do take a while to arrive apparently.

That medium/XL only thing is putting me off. I'm usually a large but I hate swimming in shirts. I'm not trying to look ridiculous though either.

Go for the smaller shirt, women love a man who shows off his curves! haha

[Hughesy]

I know a lad, who has a liverpool shirt & a spain shirt from this site, just looked at his scouse shirt and its mint, you wouldnt know it was a fake. Think il be ordering a few from here now.
