Kits 23/24

[N'ZMAV]

My looks exactly the same as the official one my daughter has, apart from the betting sponsor.
they're made in the same factory as the official ones.
Comes with all the Castore tags etc

[CT Villan]

Yes, but the real ones come with Castore's proprietary "sweat-like-a-pig" technology. Not sure the fake ones have that.

I won't be buying any of this season's kits, they are beyond crap.

Does your claret piping line up on the shoulder or is it miles off?  Of the fakes I've seen that's the most obvious error.

edit - looking at the photos it's miles off.  The fakes all seem to be from the same template.

They’re definitely not made in the same factory. But knockoffs quality can be surprisingly decent. My lads are always getting em. There’s been a fair few that have lost all the print/transfers in the wash though 😂

How do you know ? These factories are all outsourced operations who have won tenders at the lowest possible price . The Chinese wouldn't think twice about running a load more off and flogging them on to other wholesales

never pay full price for shirts - get them from http://www.messi100.com/

Shame they don't do kids shirts

Yeah I know how it works, but the actual factories making Villas kits won’t be making the knockoffs. There are dozens and dozens of factories making fakes over there. But not the same factories, it’s a common statement made by those selling fakes,

[VillaTim]

Even the knock offs selling at £15 they're making huge margins given the crap cheap materials and child labour etc

I'm not keen on using sites with the caution sign by the url, means they're not secure. My brother uses https://www.jjsport00.com

You'll see they have the padlock, never had any issues so far.

What's the normal wait for delivery, order a child's kit on the 16 August and saying it's being processed still

[PeterWithesShin]

Castore sure spent a lot of time doing original shirts for us and Wolves

[Villafirst]

Dreadful. I won't be buying any of this season's shirts. I'd like to see an Adidas design for once.

I just ordered from the JJ sport (thanks edgysats) With intro discount (you don’t have to actually post the Twitter links btw to get the codes to show) I got 2 personalised with names and ages on shirts (comes with shorts, doesn’t look like socks) for £24 something it’s showing on my cc, I thought it was £23something so watch out for discrepancies;  Dh gate I’d looked at before was a bit more I think, but confusing number of shops within.


Club shop £55, customised £70 each

So £24 Vs £140 for two customised infant kits (though I think no socks, and quality to be discovered)

Of course it’s business and we have to compete etc but at those prices there’s no way I could even think about doing it, if this works out I could probably do it every year…
