Maybe not teens, but I think its perfectly acceptable to buy these for younger kids for knocking about in and ruining, rather than £50 a pop for the genuine ones. Lad at work has 2 sons (under 10s) and he gets them the snides as its roughly £12 each for full kits with shirt, shorts and socks. Same would cost about £60 each for genuine. Its a no brainer for younger bairns, really. Edited July 22, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, assuming the snides are good (which, give it a couple of months, they will be) the joke is very much on anyone dropping £55 more for something that's all but indistinguishable without forensic analysis... All power to the snide world imo; would love to think their continuing popularity will influence the disgraceful pricing of bona fide versions.

Kanji Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I don’t and can’t subscribe to the DHgate life. But I respect those who get the massive joy of a proper good fake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I'm being a bit of a knob really. I can't blame anyone for wanting the real thing; just so irked by what companies charge these days. The fakes just prove that the prices really don't need to be so high. But I've harped on about this to the point of tedium now so I'll give it a rest for this summer.

But I've harped on about this to the point of tedium now so I'll give it a rest for this summer. Totally agree, and I'm at the age now where even though I coudl afford it, I can't justify spending £70 for a football shirt for myself, especially given I wouldn't wear it that often other than watching the match at home or in the pub, so a snide that looks decent enough until scrutinised next to a genuine one, is fine by me. And the snides generally are all much better than they used to be 'when we were kids'. That said, looks like the green away shirt will stand oot a mile though!

I got these last year and I reckon because they’re not commonly seen in the NE then nobody would have the foggiest if they’re fake or not. I still use them for the gym and 5aside.

Rich Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I know we had a football shirts thread previously, but is it time to go full DHGate for all your schnide NUFC and non-NUFC needs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have bought about six from various sellers there and do not have a single complaint. A few peeled sponsors here and there but that's still after lots of wears and washes, and you can elongate the life with a colder temperature and/or turning the shirt inside out. I'm currently rotating last season's Feyenoord home and away for my runs, love em to bits. Just under £30 for the pair. The best NUFC one I got was the blue McEwans away from 93/94 - two or three years ago - and it still looks as good as new, probably thanks to the no-plastic sponsor.

M4 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Not an official one, but enjoyed this guy's photos last season on Instagram. Evidently many more did and he's putting together a book. https://www.instagram.com/floodlightson/ https://www.floodlightson.com/ Could be a cool memento or gift... certainly looking forward to mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Yes I was surprised to see the zigzag detail. Just checked and the seller isn't on there anymore. :/ Edit: Actually, found him.
