Plus the right sleeve is noticeably misaligned. Perhaps your expectations are too high for £10. in my book if the answer to ‘can it be picked out in a crowd as a fake?’ Is no then it’s good enough. It’s 7 times cheaper than the real deal. I personally can’t complain with mine if spent more on two pints than i did the shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think the shirt I've recieved could easily be spotted as a fake, sadly. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Ordered Italy away with Tonali on the back, hope I'm not disappointed. Should be less chance of fucking it given that it's mainly just a white top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playmaker Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Does anyone know where to buy the Newcastle United 1996 grandad collar(Repo) home & away (short sleeve & long sleeve)? I found some online, but the club crest is messed up. i’ve seen some fans in the United States wearing the shirt with the correct badge. I was hoping somebody here will know where I could buy one(I imagine it’s from DH gate, but I’ve never bought from them before). Please send me a private message if you do. I will be forever Grateful The repo Newcastle United kit with the wrong club crest (premier retros) Thanks again.

Jaqen Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The white stripes are too wide and close together in the middle. Think all the 96 ones have that issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playmaker Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Yeah it’s The White Stripes they look too wide. I’ve had a look online I can’t find any 96 shirt with the correct looking badge, it’s a real shame because everything else on the shirt is perfect. The shirt holds a special place in my heart, It was my first ever Newcastle united kit as a kid. Would love to own it again, even if it’s a repo.

Yorkie Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This is my genuine one from 1996. The stripes always looked a bit fat and most copies I see tend to replicate this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 They're noticeably thicker on the copies. On 10/06/2022 at 12:24, Kid Icarus said: Arrived today. Alongside an original for comparison. Main differences are: DHGate version is a lighter material colours are ever so slightly darker Brown Ale sponsor is a thinner non-lint collecting material the white stripes on the Newcastle badge are slightly too thick (same problem I have on the home version) The adidas writing isn't quite the same All in all I'm very happy with it like considering it's more or less impossible to get the long sleeve version now. The sponsor isn't cardboard-like either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 The stripe join is well out of whack compared to the left arm. I'm guessing even with Castore, legit shirts aren't going to look like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Whey, my latest DHGate specials have cleared Shenzen sorting centre and customs declaration, so guessing they are are or will be on a slow boat (or maybe a fast plane) from china imminently. Aye, further to posts above, both of my Entertainers shirts bought from DHGate had the odd thickness stripes on the crest, and whilst a genuine one does have it also as shown by Yorkie, I think that was the exception than the rule. Most genuine ones I've seen had even thickness stripes on the crest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the picture of Yorkie it really helps to know that the repo kits aren’t far off the originals. 23 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: They're noticeably thicker on the copies. thanks for the info Kid Icarus would you be able to post some hi detailed pictures of the two shirts together, pointing out the differences between the original, and the repo? Also did you get the name and number printed on the back of the repo? And if so, is it a felt like material or vinyl plastic style?(if my memory still correct back in the day on the original ones, they were like it felt material.) do you think this 96 Nufc football shirt on eBay is a repo or an original? (The numbers on the back looks like fakes but I could be wrong.) if it is a repo I really wish I could find the supplier to get the shirt with a more correct club badge.

Nufc 96 Shirt Personally, I would say thats probably a chinese knock off. The Brown ale logo seems too new/fresh for it to be an original from 1995-97, and £69.99 is way too much for a chinese knock off. Also note if you were considering that one, it has some random name/words on the back. Edited August 12, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Another +1 for @gdm home shirt arrived yesterday. Absolutely fantastic. XL fits like a large should do and is slightly more snug than XL's I've had from elsewhere. The sela and noon badges are made of a different material than the others I've had. Where you can't rub your fingers across them. A bit sticky if you will. Hopefully will survive the washer. The crest is beautifully embroidered. Well happy, going to order the 3rd kit from him.

Kid Icarus Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Just seen a lad wearing an absolutely pristine barcode top from 90-92. Asked him where he got it and it turns out it's an original. Must be worth at least £300. No idea why DH Gate haven't started doing them like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
