New Spain Shirt

[hels smicer]

anyone know wheres best for me to get one?

 

I am looking a kitbag.com & its £40 & £4.50 postage?

 

was hoping to just go the shop & get one but does anyone know where will have it in liverpool?

 

I looked in JJb yesterday & they didn't?

This place has cheap shirts.

 

I bought the previous Spain shirt with Torres on the back and it looks and feels authentic.

 

A little tip: DON'T wear it in Barcelona unless you have Torres (or any Barca player) written all over it! A couple of Barca fans were very unhappy with me wearing that shirt, until I showed them the name on the back and explained that I didn't care about Spain. I was then told that "Torres = good, Rafa = good, Liverpool very good, Spain = BAD!"

Bloody hell they've got our home shirt on there for £10.

Seen that site a few months back, are they not just really good fakes?

[Internationinteroperability]

I read somewhere that the shirts are made off the clock, hence the low price.

 

My Spain shirt looks 100 % real though.

[pipnasty]

Of course they are fakes.

[madaboutlfc]

Of course they are fakes.

they are but are they geniune looking fakes or the ones you can tell are deffo fakes

[Internationinteroperability]

I've just ordered two shirts with names and numbers on the back to see if my Torres Spain shirt was a fluke or not.

 

It'll probably take a week or two to get to Denmark though.

[kop205]

Got an Argentina Mascherano one.

 

Probably fakes at the price, but they are f***ing amazing ones.

 

They come form Hong Kong so p&p is £8 per item to the UK meaning that it ends up as about £18 per shirt, but still not bad.

 

Now just need to hope there is nothing in those Barca rumours!

Proper sweatshop footy shirts

[madaboutlfc]

the material of fakes is different from original ones.. theyre not as comfortable to wear.. are these grey stock ones or something

[Internationinteroperability]

Just received my two shirts yesterday. Both look and feel like the real deal.

 

They just forgot to put Iniesta on the back of my pink Barca shirt

[Falconhoof]

How long do they take to arrive in the UK ?

[Sion]

Does it come stained in the blood of 8 year old asian children though? that's what'll swing it for me.

No more or less so than the ones you would buy in the club shop or JD or anywhere else; or any major brand of training shoe/sports attire; and probably involve no more exploitation than is involved in the production of a large amount of the goods on a supermarket shelf. The only thing missing I'd say is the massive price fixing mark-up to the retailer.

 

But don't let that stop you leaping on your high horse, because I'm sure you research vigorously into the ethical probity of every last item in your wardrobe, kitchen etc.

 

In answer to the 'how long do they take to arrive?' question - mine took just under 2 weeks. It would have been quicker but those kids can only sew so fast.

Calm down, there's a chance i wasn't being entirely serious. I do have Nike/Gap clothes you know.

[stressederic]

So have we decided if they're fakes or not then?

Jesus son, calm down!

Fair enough, sorry.

 

In terms of whether or not they are fakes, I think strictly speaking they have to be at that price don't they? At the end of the day though the one I've just got appears to be absolutely indistinguishable in look, feel etc from the genuine article and came with all the tags, tabs etc. I suppose the test will be when I come to wash it!

[Falconhoof]

Of course they are snide, doesn't matter though does it ? Unless you are a 12 year old lad or a scall from 1987 it doesn't matter if they have the authentic label does it ?

[kop205]

Jesus son, calm down!

 

Given that I've tried to do a bit more in my life to fight exploitation and injustice in the developing world than make sarcy comments on the internet, I was a little over sensitive and have held my hands up on that, my over-reaction.

 

I've apologised to the poster whose head I bit off and I'll leave it at that.

It looks just like the shirt on kitbag. It's kinda salmon-coloured

 

The other shirt, a Chelsea shirt for my mate, looks original as well. At least that's what my mate said. I can't be bothered if his shirt is real though All the stickers and stuff are there, too.

Pretty much my take on it. I've bought the Masch one and ordrerd a Torres Spain one as decent looking tops to play 5 a side in that I don't need to feel bad about getting a bit wrecked by actually being played in cos they won't have cost 45 quid (with the added bonus of wind-up factor in the World Cup).

 

I'm not envisaging anyone calling it as a snide, and if they do so what? More fool them for paying full price for soemthing that is basically the same.
