Don’t be mad doing this. This exactly how Nike and Adidas make their shirts and then sell them for a crazy profit margin. No matter what they will always be made in some factory in Asia.
The cost of living crisis today, it's no Wonder why people are willing to spend 10 quid on a shirt as opposed to 70. I've ordered 3 jerseys the last week for €38. I also ordered a retro blackburn one. The price of jerseys are crazy these days, and also dont forget way back in the 90s there was a ruling that said clubs should use the same shirt for 2 seasons.
I bought many shirts from one “sketchy” side, i made even a good friend from it, he explained to me how they make it cheap and the difference is so minimal, so i always say.. if it looks original, if you really cant tell the difference (which is 80-90% the case) then its an original shirt for me. The friend also explained that it costs maybe 15-20€ to make an original shirt for a club, but with sponsors and people being crazy for money, they ask a lot more, so Arsenal or any other team, asks for 80€ for a shirt that cost them 15€ to make. The “sketchy” sides made the shirt for 10€ and sell them for 15€ there’s the difference
1. What’s the point of this video if you’re not gonna tell the website. 2. That’s exactly how much it takes to make the T-shirts. We are always charged extra because of the brand.
I am from Asia (Nepal) and I've been buying this kind of shirt for years. The "Original" shirts are not available in the stores in south Asia and even if it was available, 70£ is a week's salary for most of the fans there. Even if I want to support the club, spending a month's rent on a shirt is not something I can afford. The seller/store says that these are the "FIRST COPY" of the original and most of them are made in south Asian countries. Yes, they are very cheap (4£ to 10£) but TBH they are very good (better than what I found in JD for 70£). The only thing I don't like about these shirts is the Emirates sticker which comes off after 10 - 15 wash.
Not all of fans could afford the official one. So i think this can be alternatives way for the fans across the world in order to support their team without spending all of their saving.
Let's be honest jerseys are overpriced and you can easily get a cheap replica I would call them as they are so similar to the authentic ones.when I was a kid we weren't to rich so we would get them and they would be so similar to the real ones
Matt, you just bought from the same supplier the clubs and brands get the ones sold as "official" and in their websites. No shame in that. Can't spend 25% of my wage on a single football shirt. Pretty popular and they're the real deal. Got one from the Arsenal shop in london and one directly from this chinese supplier and even the stitches are the same. It's the same shirt. No shame in getting the same product for cheaper. Not to mention Adidas, Nike and such aren't really benefactors regarding their official licensed merch...
I’m in Thailand 🇹🇭 right now and I am planning on buying these shirts. Arsenal actually take their kits from the same factory that makes those copies. So it’s actually the replicas that Arsenal sells on their website. So don’t feel bad about it.
Matt how is this wrong Its their buissness Why buy from club when they overcharge The English are bit mad How is this wrong what clubs are doing is actually wrong both these are kits are made in same factory
In my experience you can usually tell a fake under close inspection. The quality control at the big companies is very high. Fake sellers don't expect repeat custom so they will send shirts out with wonky stitching or uneven collars. Having said that, they are usually about a fifth of the price so unless you're a collector go for it.
Ive been doing this for years, got all 3 arsenal shirts about 2 months ago, names numbers and badges, cost me £45 all in. Cost of living is getting larger and i refuse to pay £70 per shirt.
bro please give me the link, I want to wear these shirts but yh Imma be honest and say I aint got that much money to throw around as a student. 🙏And r ur shirts like good quality and at least 70-80% looking like the real thing?
I’m actually in the process of ordering some fake Arsenal shirts. I think what we should be asking ourselves is why are the club charging £100, not why can we get a fake for £10. We are being taken for mugs. £100 is disgusting and I will be buying fake tops from now on
I haven't purchased any Arsenal shirts since the first Adidas home shirt was launched when Adidas returned etc....But i am buying the black away shirt directly from Arsenal, i don't buy knock-offs. That's just me but if people want to buy these cheaper shirts go ahead.
The badges are always off with arsenal stuff. They are thinner than originals and if you get them you best be washing them in a ice cold wash or them sponsors are coming off.
I've been doing this for a while from dhgate I'd recommend getting a size up if anyone does order from there, but Insane quality for so cheap especially for retro shirts
I’ve bought from dhgate many times and yes they come with the badege. They edit it out on the photos to avoid copyright, sometimes the kit manufacturer logo will be edited out as well
the genuine ones are made in Asia. the workers steal shit and then mass produce them. I saw the new arsenal shirt in a street stall earlier today in Bali. the quality is good 9 times out of 10.
When you're buying official football kits and stuff. You're supporting and paying the football clubs to build their clubs. The shirts are never really worth that much. You see other similar Adidas shirts with other design usually cost one third of football kits
Spill the beans nah man. Let poor people know where you got the kits from. Am in the Caribbean And 1 pound is worth 10 of our dollars. The Kreonke's are already rich.
Matt, you are literally only bypassing the scummy Nike corps and going straight to the actual producer, actually paying them more than those companies do. You're doing a good thing. With that said. Give us the link Matt.
Compare photos from this website to photos of original shirts. On away shirt you can see the difference that the pattern is way darker than original. Also I think they are bit rectangular instead of slim fitted
Every shirt made by Nike, Adidas, Puma is made in a sweatshop exactly the same as these ones, the main difference is the profit margins. As a United fan I'd rather by a fake, as the money isn't going to the Glazers. Also some factories make retro shirts that the official brands don't make.
I can guarantee you that these shirts are made in the same places as the ones sold by Arsenal and Adidas, these big corporations make insane money off these poor workers, so in a way buying directly from the makers is better
I have to say, if you truly don't want to incite people doing this, I would take the video down. It took me 3 mins to find the website you showed in the video and with your astoundingly positive review of the service i'm sure that would ease a lot of people's qualms about using it. Obviously that is not your intent in the video I just wanted to point out that I think it will be an obvious side effect and you seem to not want to be promoting this, but it is very good promotion.
Absolutely agree, people should be getting fleeced by their football club and multinational corporations. Not picking up shirts for what they're actually worth. 🙄
@@davidp8380 did I give my opinion on which side of it I fall on? there's obviously pros and cons on both sides and personally I think to each their own and they can make their own decisions. The point I was making is that MGH clearly states he is against it and so I was pointing out that I think contrary to his intentions, this video will do a lot to enable people to do something he doesn't agree with.
Bought 3 player issues kit in Malaysia for RM150 which is 27 pounds absolute steal when you know the quality is exactly the same sold in official stores
Nah nah nah mate the 'real' ones are obnoxiously over priced, youre suprised the shirts are only 10 pounds but you should be suprised they cost 100s of pounds.. however the overpriced ones are freakin amazing 😅
This dude is such a hypocrite. Oh I found this site for fake kits, but I can't tell you it but I'm going to buy more but you shouldn't go looking for it. Oh please. Gtfo
Hi Matt I’m from middle east and let me tell you this kind of websites are widely known in the region because as a far distance fan when i tried to buy the authentic Arsenal shirt it cost at least 80£ without shipping and that’s a lot of money in my currency so as long as I cannot attend matches regularly I won’t spend that amount of money. In my opinion the company should release a more versatile products like “ players,fans,first degree “ so everyone can buy what fits their budget.
He cant morally accept sending us to these sites, but on the other hand, cant morally let his fans with limited Budget buy those official scams from Adidas. He should just show us the Website and say something like "i dont recommend you to buy it off this link, because...." and everything would be fine
parallel importing, considered a ;grey' practice as it's official merch sold by an unlicensed distributor, different from knock off merch and considered an intellectual property rights issue.
There’s a site called soccer dragon who do all the fake kits really cheap.. they come and you think they are great then after washing them 2 or 3 times they fall to bits 😂
Lol you could probably buy them in a smaller size keep tags attached go to sports direct and ask for a swap to a larger size stick it to Mike Ashley XD XD XD
It’s not a knockoff I don’t think, it can’t be this accurate and I’ve actually seen and own a couple of these kits myself, trust me when I say the material does not seem any different
I'd be able to tell the difference. I've sadly purchased from those kinds of sites in the past, so I'm very aware of what to look for. I'm a hockey fan as well, and with hockey sweaters it's much more noticeable (crests not looking quite official, etc), but there are key things to look for. First, badges look much crisper and sharper on the real shirts. They have more of an "official" look to them while the fake shirts have badges that have some imperfections and/or inconsistencies. Second, details aren't stitched on as "professionally" as on the real shirts. If you compare the inside of your official shirt to the fake, you'll see that the badges and details aren't sewn on as securely on the fakes as they are on the official ones. Lastly, the shirt material itself is far less durable. The RU-vidr channel Away Days has a video on fake football shirts, and one of the tests he does is pulling on the shirt material. The official shirts withstand much more stretching while the fake shirts tear rather easily.
They are cheaper because they did not pay the stakeholders like (arsenal/addias/and so on) and any of the taxes.. and obviously they are not made of the same material If nothing else... Think of it like this, if I copy your videos and upload them to Facebook videos as my own and earn money of them and give you nothing, would that feel fair to you. What you going to show us next, knock off rolexs 🙄
I've bought shirts like these and the are very hard to tell if they are fake or not, until you put them in the wash a couple of times. The fly Emirates starts coming off
I’m a United and I recently bought a fake home kit for this season from China and I saw the pics and it’s looks really close to the real thing, didn’t want to buy the authentic one theres no way I’m giving money to the Glazers 🤬
These shirts would have been made by people who are probably earning about £2.50 an hour which is illegal, buying these is encouraging that. Ik kits are so expensive but a lot of the money is going to the team you love 🤷🏼♂️
@@oliverbrown4948 In the UK or other western countries yes, but these aren't made in Western Countries, so no its not illegal. Thailand doesn't have a minimum hourly wage but instead a minimum daily wage which is less than £8 a day and can be even lower depending on which province you live in. So you are easily taking less then £1 an hour minimum wage.
Majority clothings come from Bangladesh and China. That includes branded ones and official liecnse ones. People complaining about sweat shops. But fail to realise. If they wasn't working in a sweat shop they would be jobless and in am even worse state.
@@beanhole123 we know where the clothing comes from, but some brands guarantee normal working conditions for their employees, even in such countries, which explains some of the higher prices, although unfortunately not all. But you say “if they weren’t working in a sweatshop they would be jobless”… that is just a foul way to look at the world. So it’s okay for people to live and work with inhuman conditions just because that way, at least they can pay for a slice a bread a day. Idk I’m rambling, the truth is these websites stink of slavery, despite what other brands may or may not do.
@@iBigMacPT they don't guarantee normal working conditions tho. I believe it was Primark or h&m. Their building was on the verge of collapsing in Bangladesh. Yet they was still forced to work in it and then the building collapsed. My parents are originally from Bangladesh and we know alot of people who are greatful for the garment industry. Especially females. As if they didn't work there they often would work as maids and live in someone else's house. Thing with economics and capitalism is that alot of people lose
@@breakingchad1925 i mean if they sell at that price probably not, the shirt my be ok but they might sell ur info on the black market or if ur not careful they might get ur bank info
I did this a handful of years ago for a united kit and got zlatan on it, was decent until a few months in and the sponsors and the names just ripped off and made it look tatty
