Ordered one! Thanks! Think that's the 4th shirt I've got this year. Alonside the home kit and the 2 retro home and away 95/96 shirts. 

 

Want to get one for the bairn but I know she'll grow out of it real soon and resent paying 30quid for them. Are the cheap knock offs any good? Need one to fit a 2 year old.

Pretty much identical.

 

Only complaint I have with retro stuff is, they use whatever material todays shirts are made of.

Does anyone recommend a particular seller on the knock off websites?

 

Ordering from DHGate is a bit of a lottery, in terms of sellers. I think you just have to go off the ratings/reviews as best you can.

So far I've ordered 3 knocks offs - The 95-96 home and away, and this seasons Castore Home shirt.

 

Both of the Adidas ones were smaller than they should have been and unwearable for me (2XL fitted like a UK Medium).

 

The 95-96 home shirt was great apart from the dodgy crest (uneven stripes on shield, and the detailing not great), but it had all the right labels, tags and the shirt material itself was like the original. Even the buttons were 'Adidas'. The brown ale logo is stiff as a board too, which I believe is another common issue with them, and shows it up as a fake.

 

The 95-96 away shirt was the wrong material (I think), and the collar was bright white, not off-white as the original was. It had the same issue with the crest, and was missing the stripes on the sleeves, and had random plain buttons, but had all other adidas badges and tags. The brown ale logo was also a vinyl iron-on, which I'm not sure was as original either (was it felt?).

 

The Castore shirt was spot on, almost like it was bought from the club shop including Noon on the sleeve, which made me wonder if these fakes are made in the same sweat shops as the real ones! Also available in larger sizes, but still slightly off with UK sizing (3XL fits like a UK XL).

 

All of these shirts had the correct PL lettering and numbering for their respective age.

Thanks. For the price, I guess it’s worth a punt. Definitely want a Bruno 39 one for the bairn 


Would he be wearing junior sizes because the alt shirt is £25 on newcastle website and with Bruno printing £40.

She's a girl! 

 

Ended up ordering a home kit with Bruno on the back and the away kit with Trippier. £27 so that's two tops for the holiday sorted ?

Hi Guys - Does anyone know where I can buy a half and half Newcastle vs. Man Utd scarf from yesterday's match (Not the Carabao final!)? Is it just a case of waiting for them to come on ebay? I'm looking to commemorate my newborn sons first match, and the victory over his mum's team (and our local team)! Thanks in advance, Kieran.

As much as I hate half and half scarves (their badge doesn’t belong anywhere near ours), maybe try the Backpage https://www.tbpsportsmemorabilia.co.uk

 

May be worth contacting them if you can’t see it on their site.

The 130th anniversary shirt came today but quality doesn't feel great and like the home shirt, feels a bit tight for a large. Don't think it's me so will be returning it I think. Anyone else think the sizes are a bit small?

Yes. Finally got round to ordering some shirts on DHgate this season (current season, and 95 home) and they were too tight, so gave them away. Would certainly recommend going for one size up to anyone making a first purchase.

I’ve sized up on all my Castore tops.

The nephew is after a Newcastle top, but do we know if we are getting a new kit next season? Don't want to fork out for something that'll be out of date in a couple of months.
