World Soccer Shop is not an answer.

Chinese knockoffs...extremely high quality. Can't tell a difference. Honest. Just ordered a Netherlands jersey from there for $17. Most are around $25. Shipping is free, but takes a while.

Don't know if they have Ireland jerseys. And mail takes two or three weeks.

horseshite.

You WANT to not be able to tell the difference, but it's very noticeable next to a real jersey.

I saw a few knockoff US jerseys in Jacksonville, and they were pretty easy to spot.

Also, I hope this doesn't happen to your order.

The counterfeit US jerseys I saw at the Gold Cup semis (worn by Mexico fans) were simply awful.

Ok, you don't have one of the jerseys from this place, but you can tell me all the differences, right? Right.

The only difference I could find between my Man U jersey I ordered from this place and a real jersey is the patches. Placement is a little off on the sleeves and the chest. And that's it.

Now, before we all start on the "holier than thou" rant because you might have purchased a "real" jersey (making you a much better fan than me), I just want to say that these aren't perfect, but they're pretty close. I've seen bad knockoffs, and these are nowhere near that level.

And I've held up my Man U jersey up against an $80 one...patch placement was the only difference I could see. These are not the knockoffs you think they are.

horseshite on this good sir.

Yeah, there are some terrible knockoffs out there. But there are also quite a few quality ones, such as the ones that use the actual nike factories overnight in china.. it's the same jersey without the ridiculous $50-100 dollars of profit to Oregon's pockets.

I freaking hate this argument with a passion.

Exactly. Thanks for the backup, Jumbeaux.

Yeah, I saw your Man U jersey.

The number font was off, and the spacing of the white and black on the collar was off.

And the patches, apparently.

And it's probably started to fray or fade if you washed it.

But other than that, it's perfect.

Didn't start to fray or fade. But we can't all be elitist psychics like you.

Wrong on the font, too. What are you, a Nike rep? Placement may be off by a centimeter or something like that, and you think it's not worth the 80% discount? Give me a break.

You're gonna give me heck about a slight difference in SPACING. Ridiculous.

My fakes hold up better than my real US kit. My Altidore kit started peeling on the number after 3 washes. I have some fake Messi's that have been washed over 20 times with no issues. You keep paying $100 a jersey and I'll pay $25 for good knockoffs.

ETA:US Soccer has offered to fix my Jozy kit. Props to them for standing behind their stuff.

Yours:



Actual:



See how the real number sticks way out at the bottom? And the middle part of the 3 is flat on Evra's shirt, and slanted on yours?

And the collar's not really close, either.





But hey..... it's "close."

I'm sure no one will ever know the difference.

Not a good comparison of actual font. The distance and angle aren't close to being the same. How's that for noticing a difference?



Better source pic.....and yes $80 discount is VERY worth it.

The picture I took of the back was a close up of the name and the number. The position is right on my jersey. It was a close up and a bit crooked. I don't have a real steady hand with my phone.

I'll give you the difference on the collar.

Collar irregularity + patch placement...I'll overlook it for an 80% discount, Mr. High and Mighty. Glad you know so much about a jersey that you don't own, and can tell a lot about it by my close up pics.

You're right, some may think it's a HUGE DIFFERENCE...only snobs like you, though.
