Found another one, www.soccerbox.com

Prices seem unbelievable to me. I also get a sneaking feeling this is a Uksoccershop affiliate site.

Any ideas?

No they're alright, I bought a Jaguares shirt from them about 2 years ago. Prices are what they ought to be - about £40 a shirt is standard pretty much, any more than that is expensive!

By the way Eric....Malta...

Also, another site I'd looked up is gsports.vstore.ca/

No idea about reliability or authenticity - the pics look like fake shirts, albeit good ones.

I used one time www.soccer.com and they really are very profesionals
other store i used in past was www.toffs.com and there is one from Mexcio named www.pambolero.com they sold special kits

Thanks Ike, I did see that one. That is a bit to funky for me, plus I'm an XL or XXL. Though that would be motivational to get me a bit more fit.

I have a Valetta club shirt on order from that site.

Raul, thanks for that Mexican site. I may give them a go. Should be duty free for me here in Canada.

Keep em coming boys, we are getting quite a list.

Subside has a great choice and are quick to resolve problems, but the past 5 orders I have had with them have each had an individual problem, 4 times over sizing (I'm an Adult Large so should have plenty in stock!) and once over a "new" Ajax shirt that they sent me which had serious colour bleed.

Uksoccershop are dodgy to say the least.

www.toffs.com and www.supremefootballshirts.co.uk are both spot on

I quite liked the look of a shirt on the pambolero site, but couldn't figure out how to select the size!

I found 2 more decent looking shops last night.


www.mmsports.com/ in Denmark I believe

and

www.premier-football.net/index.php in Singapore

Only place I've seen a Singapore shirt for sale

Yes this website is very nice. I just knew that the owner of www.ifootballshirt.com selling kits for over 7 years on ebay. So they are very professional. The price is very amazing. All picture they took it from their inventory, not copy on an internet. Your guys can take a look. I'm really recommended.

I agree they look great for fake football shirts.

But if you're after a real shirt, you'll be disappointed.

Eric, I have used 2 or 3 of those sites...I'd say Subside Sports is by far the best. Their service is excellent - I once ordered a retro shirt and got a bit confused about sizing (ended up with one too small), I emailed asking if I could swap for next size up....not only did they do it but they didn't charge anything for the extra postage. It's a minor thing, but they didn't have to do it and it's just a good indicator of good service.
They are in the UK though so I guess shipping costs have to be considered for those in other countries.

PS. Yeah 3rd strip is for when a team's first and second primary colours clash with an opponent. Also realistically it's also a crafty way to make more cash.


Yep I'm agree with you. If I lookking for a real shirt, I will disappointed. Anyway in my opinion It is better than that you pay for the high price but you get a poor jersey. It is hard to say that the item are real or not when you look at only a picture. Even though touching. If I want a real shirt, I will going to buy from a stadium. It is very safe. That why I want the website which accept the payment by paypal.
If there are any problem, I will get my money back by myself. ^-^

The item which I received from www.ifootballshirt.com is very cool. It nearly similar the authentic one which I had. So paying only a couple meal and get a nice quality. I'm really happy wiht it.

This website has such a feature...mmmm...not bad though..

www.thekitmanroom.com/live_scores.html

In my experience, I have bought, about 20 of my football shirts online.

I started buying in Kitbag less than two years ago, the first shirts were delivered in time and in perfect conditions, but then, started the problems: the delivery time became ABSOLUTELY late... I´m talking about 50 days delayed (yes fifty). So I said Kitbag no more.

Then, someone told me about subsidesports, I bought 1 and only shirt with them: the shirt was absolutely wrong, it seemed a replica made by a kid.

About 6 month ago one of my work mates recommended me to start with onestopshirts.com, and to be honest I´m very happy. The quality of the shirts are 100% satisfactory, I had one only complaint, with one of the shirts that was not arriving, and they gave me a very good support.
So BY NOW I´m sticking with them.

Very interesting thread by the way.

Subsidesports don't do fake shirts, they only sell genuine shirts. They are actually linked to by some clubs own official websites.

It seems to me like some websites pedalling cheap (or not so cheap) fake shirts are infiltrating this otherwise useful thread.

Folks, if you're buying from any site where the shirt is cheaper than usual, look up pictures on the internet of a recent game by that team and compare the shirt. Pay close attention to the collar, the sizing and stitching of the sponsor, and the hem and side panels of the shirt (these are the areas where fakes often mess up and don't match the real ones). I can see clear fakes for sale on at least 3 of the websites on this thread.

Hi

I think it would be useful to split the sites listed so far into those which deal with genuine shirts and those that don't:

Toffs
Subside Sports
Supreme Football Shirts
Kitbag

All sites above I know deal in the genuine articles (or have with me anyway) What sites would you name and shame for selling fakes Ike?

Cheers

world soccer shop also does authentic
I believe Classic Football Shirts to be 100% authentic as well.

I don't know if it would be right to "name and shame", and in any case someone else could claim a website was selling real shirts when it is not.
I know that Subside Sports, Soccerbox, Supreme, Kitbag, Soccer.com, Toffs, World Soccer Shop all sell genuine shirts. I have used them all personally with the exception of Toffs (which has an excellent reputation). Uk Soccer Shop also sells genuine shirts, but their service is appalling.
The one in Mexico, and the one in Brazil both also look genuine to me, albeit it may be difficult to communicate with them what you want.

Others that I have not mentioned may or may not sell genuine shirts - I cannot tell for definite (ok some I can) so I wouldn't want to accuse someone incorrectly. But if you follow my previous advice - compare shirt pics on the shop site to pics of recent games from the team's own websites, then you can usually spot fakes. Look at collars, the sponsor badges/wording, stitching around hem, side panels etc.
Getting the shorts free, or having a set price for every shirt, is often an indicator of fakes.

The other thing to try when shopping for shirts is contacting the clubs direct, and seeing where sells their shirts. I wanted a Cremonese shirt (Italian 3rd tier club), contacted the club who gave me details of local sports shops in Cremona who sell their shirts. I then emailed them, and have just placed an order for their 2009/10 shirt, including making payment through Paypal.

A local shop to me that hasn't been mentioned is Football Nation. They are at

www.thefootballnation.co.uk

As they are a shop that physically exists, it reassures you a little more. If they sold fakes, the local trading standards would close them down! I have a silly ammount of shirts in my collection, many of which I have bought from them.

They are a small independent shop that always look after me. Great for shirt printing and special orders and the guys there will talk football all day with you.

Can't recommend them enough!

Just Google Football Nation Edinburgh, they're definatley not based in Thailand!!
