BottledDog Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Such rubbish. Wouldn't know the difference, in fact I'm pretty sure that most of them are the real thing but just off the back of a lorry. I've never bought a fake NUFC one like but might do so this year. Well I'm not sure your opinion counts then. I have, and it was literally a crude drawing of Brian Pinas on some fag paper.

bowlingcrofty Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The fake sites are 99% perfect, sometimes I wonder if they're factory seconds with slight stitching issues or something - they are that close to the legit ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 What does it achieve? no money for club. A knowledge that.it isn't the real kit. I'd sooner buy a decent t shirt than a side kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Such rubbish. Wouldn't know the difference, in fact I'm pretty sure that most of them are the real thing but just off the back of a lorry. I've never bought a fake NUFC one like but might do so this year. If its like alot of stuff made in China, itll be literally the same article as the real thing, but just distributed somewhere else. Video game accessories etc. will be the same, but without the branding, but same build quality. Football shirts are a weird one, but if it looks identical to the real one, then the quality will likely be the same. Theyre super cheap as they have like 0 overhead cost I say this as someone who bought a Milan and Barca shirt (for myself) and Inter shirt (for a mate) for combined cost of £50 from a similar site...so maybe im saying this more out of hope!

SteveMc Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Can you honestly not work it out? Well obviously, but my motivation is to support the club. Buying snide gear is the very antithesis of what I'm trying to achieve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallihg Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Are they exactly the same, or different fit/material etc? Find some front and back publicity shots, or take a photo down your local SD once released. Print both sides out on a decent ink jet printer. Cut around outline and staple together. That kind of quality. As an owner of SJP bought and fake NUFC kits, and several other, you've obviously never bought a jersey from some of these sites. Soccertriads and maxxsoccer (same company it seems), have some amazing fake kits, where you hardly see the difference. Just look at the earlier posts in this thread or the Euro thread. Of course the quality of the fakes vary, but what you described is so far off everything iv'e and many of my mates have experienced when dealing with these sites selling fakes. Most businesses have their horror stories of course, so its probably easier to go shopping in your nearest sportsdirect shop.. The fake sites are 99% perfect, sometimes I wonder if they're factory seconds with slight stitching issues or something - they are that close to the legit ones. My experience exactly, looks like they come from the same factory as the 'real' replica kits the clubs sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've given the club plenty of my money over the years and will continue to do so, if I want to save 20 quid this year then it's up to me to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have a season ticket, I've poured thousands into NUFC over the years. I don't think not buying a Newcastle top that will be on sale for £7 (and probably at profit) or something in a years time is going to make Newcastle burst into flames. I know you'll say 'what if everyone thought like that?' Well the truth is that most people do. The government tried to do that Knock Off Nigel advert, but the reality is everyone loves him.

Heake Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Surely the most salient point to make here is that it is the quality of the snide that counts. Buying sinde gear in turkey a couple of years ago I was amazed to find out that they offered differing versions of snide gear, at different prices. The cheap shite was peanuts & really poor quality, the pukka snide was still half the price of the original but was a verbatim copy of...even to the quality of the tags.

adam1 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 What a surprise, people are getting on their high horse about buying shirts from 3rd party sites. Im not even going to call them fakes because if youd seen one, youd know they arent. Most likely, they ARE real shirts, they just havent had the markup that comes with retail and distribution, and are just sold directly from the manufacturer. For every one person buying a cheap kit, there's going to be 30 buying the kit from the 'genuine' retailers. I wouldnt worry about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Are the home shirts a decent length? I tried on a medium in the away kit, and it ended above my belt buckle ffs. The body of the shirts were very short and wide. Im nowhere near an abnormal size either, 6ft and 80kgs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be significantly worse off if everyone made that choice though. Well I bought a real one last year, I must say also that I'm not particularly impressed that we've jumped on the bandwagon of releasing one every year as it's a completely unnecessary rip-off. More for people with kids and stuff, aye the parents can say no but it's a bit naff that they'll spend a small fortune on something that's old hat in less than a year. If I buy one this year I won't be spending 40 quid on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Buying a "fake" one is the same as buying one from Sports Direct. The club don't get the money so who cares? Buy a fake one and go to another match with the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
