From experience.

If it's from lelong..... there is a risk that the jersey is fake.

Yes, it has always been lextra from day one.

But there are some cases where kits like Real Madrid and AC Milan where it comes together with the starball and BOH. But both starball and BOH are stitched, not glued. But the material is still velvet like lextra.

So to say it precisely, it has always been velvet material since day one. I would also say the RESPECT patch should be the same as well...

My advice:

1. Hang your jerseys outside, let it be exposed and not inside the cupboard. Best is not to use plastic cover because it will ruin the PU NNs/sponsors as well.... Which is why it is good to wash your jerseys but always be careful.

2. Try to flip your jersey inside out and iron them after you've washed them... it helps to bond the glue of the PU nameset/sponsor.


For the 09/10 season, thanks to SportingID's new senscillia technology.. there will be watermark prints on the gold material beneath the EPL champions patch.

We heard the same story last time about the Man United UCL 07/08 Champions patch. But what happened?

Last time the sales of the patches were regulated and controlled by UEFA. But then..........

Thanks to people like JCs in this region.. the demand is high so it is possible.

Never say never.

There are 2 ways to make u able to buy the Celtic away kit:

1. Buy the sponsorless version at kitbag
2. Peel off the carling sponsor.

Just like what jerseyman did. Being a DIY kind of person, it's always fun to do:



But there will be a downplus. The rectangular shape stain will remain but who cares... DIY is fun!

Because my super wifey knows it's an alcoholic brand and she doesn't like it. I like the jersey because of it's round collar design.

Nothing beats the wrath of an angry wife.

I never buy jersey for collection only. I ALWAYS wear them.

Which is why I need to know how to maintain them... but trust me, so far I've manage to keep them. I have a jersey that was bought 10 years ago (1998) and the NNs are still ok. I remember back in 1998, when I took a bus from Ipoh to KL (plusliner), walked from pudu to BB plaza. Went to ali and had the NNs and patches printed and then back to ipoh. My first and second ever jersey...

And they still survived today.

My tip is always to wear them and don't keep them stuck in your cupboard. Wash them at least once every quarter (3-4 months) or possible. Use the guide I posted on page 1 on how to iron them after you have washed them.

The lextra NNs might turn yellowish.... that's normal but as long as they are solid, then that's good.

Haiya, no need to call me idol la...

No la.. not far... BB plaza and pudu bus station is just a few km only.. 10-15 minutes of walking distance.

That was the day when I had to work myself (took part time job at KFC) after SPM and then took the effort and hassle to have my jersey printed with EPL NNs.

My advice to everyone... the PU NNs can last a lifetime if you know how to maintain them...... Many things must be learned such as do not lean on a leather type chair or car seat, try not to wash your jersey and then hang it beneath the sun, keep your jersey outside the cupboard so there is air ventilation, don't leave your jersey being idle only and so and so...

haha... ada sebab kenapa kadang2 kene takut bini tu... nanti dah kahwin ko tau la...

Back then... Original jerseys were RM169.90 only.. except for umbro jerseys, they were RM199.90. Long sleeved were super rare.

Price of namesets were not so much difference... RM6 per letter and RM30 per number. If I recall la...

I miss the 90s.

Hahaha.. wise words.. Jersey jersey la... but mesti sayang isteri. Hahahahahaha...

Go to al-ikhsan bangi. I saw the home kit there still being sold. It's at Bandar Baru Bangi (Seksyen 8)

I wash, spin dry and iron all my jerseys... plain or not plain.

The key here is, when you iron it.. it not only dries and makes the jersey's surface clean and cease free... but it prolongs the material's lifespan.

Leaving it hanged inside the room might be ok, but the removal of moisture is not as quick and as perfect as ironing it.. besides you might leave the jersey damp longer... and this effects the glue of the printed sponsors (even if the jersey is plain).

I've already compiled a guide on page 1 on how iron your jersey. To view it again, I pasted it below:



Maybe I am wrong on all this.. ironing jerseys after you wash and spin dry it, might not be a good practice.. But that's what I do and that is my secret on maintaining my jersey's lifespan from my collection.... So far my 10+ year old jerseys are still in good condition...

Mate.. next time try buying the liverpool jersey direct from their online website...

It comes together with the starball and BOH patch. Easier but a bit costly. At least you can grab one.

What's your point actually?

nimrod2...

not only the issue is with inconsistency but also the currency exchange rate is one issue.

they have their own currency issue rate, which is incorrect and higher than the actual one.. yours was luckily below RM500.. if you calculated that you buy something that is ngam ngam slightly below RM500, then suddenly they calculated and then kena tax... that's the issue.


Try calling other al-ikhsan branches. I saw M size at al-ikhsan at bandar baru bangi....

Or go and buy at nike boutique stores.. You can even get it cheaper if you buy at Nike Hytex Studio at Sunway Pyramid, and then if you subscribe their membership and then get 10% discount.

Nope... It's not normal. Why must you use that patch? Try look for the EPL champions 07/08 patches first...

Try asking other stores such as Real One and Q-Line. If finished, then try look for it at ebay. I think still can be found easily at ebay.

Never done business before with the seller but the jerseys look legit to me.

I don't get it.. You want an EPL champions 08/09 gold badge to put on a 07/09 home jersey?

The 07/09 home jersey can only be put with champions 06/07 and champions 07/08 badges only

To be honest, malaysia stores like al-ikhsan and real one get their supply from the same supplier at singapore.

Agreed with zaidizero.

Even from my own personal experience, my preference is always with Sayuti and Ahmad from al-ikhsan.........

To shaohui and others who might have bad experience with al-ikhsan.... I suspect you guys might be treated badly by one of their staf (I think now former)... It's ok... but again.. Sayuti and Ahmad does have very good skills of applying namesets.

Daud and another guy from Real One too has good skills.. I'm not going to ask you guys to say which is better... Having more than one store is a good option...

Anyway I still prefer to do my own printing.

Hard to differentiate but I can still tell....

They try their best to imitate but I doubt they will ever make a 100% copy.

Just look at their best attempt.. the man utd crest still looks funny where the red devil looks like a cockroach.

There is a reason why the crest was made that way by nike... very fine stitching and also why it has that kind of outline. what to do, imitations on united kits are the highest ones...

Appreciate your comments and thanks as well.. But trust me, they can try to imitate but they can never succeed.

And please don't use the term JC for jersey. Here, JC stands for jersey collector. JCs stands for Jersey Collectors

You're welcomed

Thanks mate..

You can get the BNWT jersey cheaper at Real One...

You can bargain or ask for discount (especially if you are a regular there).

I used to buy jerseys from kak zaitun for RM230 in the past...

There is always a way when there is a will.. Don't think that all JCs are super duper rich. We too have our ways and 'jedi forces' on how to dig and look for good deals... If you want to collect jerseys, it doesn't always mean that you have to dig out a lot of cash every time.......

Best place is either ebay or buy online at www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk

You can proceed and just apply a new one.

The glue stain would not harm the new patch that is applied on top of it. In fact it will melt and later bond together pretty well with the patch. As long as the old patch was removed, you can just apply a new one.

How the hell did the patch crack? You should know how to maintain your jersey la.. lextra material is very very hard to crack or get ruined. Ni mesti ganas memakai ni...

It's hard to tell why it happened... but one good lesson we should learn is try to iron beneath the patches as frequent as possible. Flip the jersey inside out (terbalikkan dulu jersi) and then iron beneath the area where the EPL champions patch is placed. This helps to increase and maintain the bond of the patches' glue.

The patch basically has a very thin glued outline, while the rest is covered with a golden coloured thick material layer.

Of course la still ok bang.. Do not leave your jersey under the sun because it might crack PU typed NNs or sponsors... If lextra, should be ok... But I don't encourage you if the material is PU. It' just a good tip or petua.
