No idea how anyone can justify spending £60/70 on a t-shirt. I would rather wait until end of season and pick one up on the cheap. Only exception being any HIbs shirt and any Scotland shirt even with SSC discount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was until I saw it was £65 - absolutely no chance. Especially as I’d only ever wear it playing fives or lounging about. On another note while I’m ranting, why do clubs these days never show the full kit when revealing it? It’s always just the top now. Eta - snap @Mr. Alli.

I got the Euro patches added to both home and away shirts the other day and they were £3 per patch. As i know in the future these shirts will cost a fortune to get as these shirts will become iconic. You better trying Ebay or Classic football shirts for old Scotland tops mate. Managed to get the 1990 home shirt for £35 last year in great condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas shirts are probably worth getting for collection only. As someone who’s collected a fair number of football shirts the years (stopped now since prices got stupid), Adidas are up there with the worst in terms of quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose they have to I guess but them and a few other mobs have driven retro shirt prices through the roof for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruined it by adding the checked bit. And the yellow bit at the side. 4 hours ago, EdinburghPar1975 said: Thats 'a cracking kit - thinki'd prefer it to be 'more' yellow but that could just be my eyes! Nope I'm with you on that, it looks a funny shade of yellow especially next to the normal yellow in all the stuff they have in the background. Also looks better with the black shorts, but I see the actual kit is all yellow. As for the prices, not sure why Chelsea think its acceptable to another fiver onto the already ludicrously high prices. Bad enough £65 for a top, but they're charging £70 for that new top. £55 for a kids top, £45 for an infants kit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're buying for collector reasons fair enough, but if you're buying to wear, why not spend £15 for a good fake, rather than £100 for a crap real one? I have bought from a couple of these fake shirts sites before. It has been 50/50. On two times the product arrived and it was clearly a fake. Heavier material etc. On another two occasions the shirts ididn’t arrive and the ‘company’ went off line. Don’t get me wrong, classic can be expensive, particularly if you after 80’s or matchworn kit. However, it is the real McCoy and you will get it.

Give them a good iron and no c**t can tell the difference I have bought a fair fakes off Ebay in the past few years like Liverpool 89 home shirt, Holland 1988, Fiorentina's Nintendo shirt with long sleeves and Maradona's Boca shirt from the early 80s. You couldn't even tell they are fakes they are that good. Need to upload a photo of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I've bought from DH Gate before but not a fan of the plasticky or stuck on badges, it's the only negative to tops I've bought on there before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I've bought a few tops from a Chinese site. The quality is excellent and you'd have a hard time telling whether they're fake or not. Off the top of my head I've bought Roma, Sau Paulo, Internacional, Boca Juniors, Dortmund and Napoli.These are the Roma and Sau Paulo tops I bought a while back. They're last seasons kits as I haven't bought anything for a while given we've not been able to play 5s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I found J-League tops when I was in Tokyo were surprisingly expensive. I think they were wanting close to £200 for a standard top? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
