Minor?

For issued shirts, the focus is on performance. The fabric is laser cut and heat-melded together. You won't find a single seam on the insides of the issued shirts (apparently to prevent chaffing).

The badges and Adidas logos (or Nike, as they do similar stuff) are rubber-like or plastic-ized material that is somehow attached to the outside of the shirts, once again making sure the insides remain as smooth and singular as possible.

The 3 stripes across the shoulders are plastic-ironed on material but if you look closely, they're stitched but very very finely, you won't be able to see the stitching. The same for the sponsors and Name / Number decals on the back. Somehow, they're stitched in a way that the insides remain untouched.

The "CLIMACOOL" badges are gone, instead there's a "FORMOTION" on the hem of the shirt, and the roundel of authenticity saying "Official Licensed Product" is gone.

The cloth used is of higher, moist-wicking quality which is, once again, emphasized on performance, not longevity.

Pretty sure there are more minute and tiny differences, but that's all I know (i've been hunting a genuine Adidas player-issued "FORMOTION" shirt for a while now)

So, no, not really, not minor differences.
