6. Sportsland Sdn. Bhd.

Sportsland and Nike Malaysia was conceptualizing on the idea of introducing the first Nike Shop for the Malaysian Public as early as 1993. After years of observing the discerning Malaysian Customers, the FIRST Nike Shop was finally revealed to the general public 19th August 1995.

Letters/Numbers are in black or white colours. Navy & Red NNs depend on stock availability and are ordered and sold as sets (not individually like black and white).
Locally each EPL letter costs RM6 per letter and RM35 per number. So if you want to buy ROONEY 10, it will cost:

(6 letters X RM6) + (2 numbers X RM35) = RM36 + RM70 = RM106

* PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING THESE ITEMS...

1. If you buy from local shops, make sure you insist on receipt.. so if you want a refund if you found the NNs/patches to be fake, easy.. got proof
2. If you buy from online (ebay or overseas seller), ask in the forum or pm myself if you need second opinion to see if it's authentic or not. I will not be held responsible if the item is found to be fake later.

I will update this page from time to time, if you guys have any useful info.. please PM me.. Thanks!

Here is the list of names/address/contact information of local sports shops that have a previous and currently proven record of selling authentic items (jerseys, namesets and badges). As you all know, one of the rules and principles of all JCs (Jersey Collectors) are to say no to fake jerseys, NNs and badges.

We had a case with one of our previously recommended and endorsed shop somewhere in KL who we previously trusted and recommended to our friends and other fellow JCs. But in early 2008, 2 of their employees broke our trust and started to sell fake namesets and badges. Our mistake was not to spread this news because we though it was a one off case and we had good faith on that shop. But sadly it became worst because many people fell victims to these 2 unethical sellers who preyed on naive and innocent buyers who wanted to buy original items and paid the items with prices that matches authentic items. Is it unethical but at the end they got away with it because we didn't have any proof against them. It is funny to see how they pretend they didn't know about it and were plain cowards for not admitting it or still claiming that it's authentic. And at the end, the tauke himself said to one of our mates in the JC group to trust him more than us. That really upset us because we were wasting time giving them chance to sort out things, trusting and endorsing them, and at the end.. after trying to gain back our trust and believe on them.. we were scolded back as if we were the one starting the fuss. Takkan pokok bergoyang kalau tiada angin bertiup.. right?

So what we can do now is.. for the sake and safety of other JCs, newbies and friends out there is to list down the local and foreign sports shops that are guaranteed to sell authentic items and are personally endorsed by us. We might not have 10 years experience of selling items (quoted by someone who claims that players actually wear jersey with PU typed NNs during matches because they are light.. WTF..?) but we know our stuff. And I have black and white proof to back that up.

Anyway if you want to visit the recommended shops that we endorse, here they are:

damn this thing is ......................................................

http://store.manutd.com/stores/manutd/prod...hq_v=987a39c86b

to be honest, in terms of value that is actually quite worth it. just that many of us are not willing to part our money for a book.

if only i had 1k to part with.
wouldnt mind buying that.
thats like really really a limited edition item.

i got mine on Nov 2009 @ 17GBP including shipping also

before that, got a plain version @ 11GBP including shipping also

show show

just wondering... do you guys wear the jerseys or just collect them?

i got the same one with you, BECKHAM#7

yes, i'm wearing it

wear and keep also got
rarer and more fave one keep la.
i guess depends on the person actually.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang......

I've done my very first time DIY of NNs on jersey.....

It took me around 1.5 hour to done it.....

But I face a problem, that is the Italy badge, I couldn't success to apply Italy badge, anyone can teach me how? I'm apply it like apply NNs but failed....

Bro, the trick is to apply it the other way round.

Terbalikkan your jersey and arrange your badge under the shirt. Once you managed to arrange it then iron it. It's risky but the badge is thick, that's why you need to do it that way.

i will try next time, thanks

hi, guy.. got some question to ask.. how to order from http://www.ss352.com <---

Yep interested too, anyone else knows how to order from those HK websites?

email to order if not wrong....

email to them about availability and price. then proceed from there by giving them paypal address, mailing address etc.

yup email them availability - their website is not always updated

i tot united direct was on sales.. then i saw kitbag even cheaper.. itchy man

itchy then fast fast take action

i bought a few jersey from acabugs & he's definitely thrustwothy

acabugs is my friend and is 100% reliable

Okay which of the HK sites do your use more often?

Thanks!

I always felt Italy kit look nicer in white...i dunno why..lol.

Err...Italy short look like a boxing one.

thats what everyone was saying

taken from William Weiz Low's facebook, is it for real?

Fake signatures, fake respect patch, most probably fake shirt as well.

IMO, the shirt, those badges are FAKE...

the AIG looks like being BOLD already

Total rubbish. AIG looks bad, the NikeFIT and nike security tag should be around the same line...this one, 1 up 1 down

Who's William Weiz Low anyway?

This post has been edited by pyroboy1911: Jan 25 2010, 11:32 PM

Sorry to say this... Jersey looks fake to me..

The club crest should be bigger than the V chevron:


The AIG logo looks fat. And the jersey has the very rare RESPECT patch.. which even the authentic replica jerseys don't have yet hehe..

I think the italy shirt will look nicer in person, but the shorts is a total failure, it looks gaudy and cant imagine how will the player wear that.

That's the whole point of this thread, to help ppl differentiate between the genuine replicas from the fakes. But sad to say that a lot of ppl are still falling prey to the pirates due to lack or insufficient knowledge.

Information shared should never ever be abused in any way whatsoever. To do it for own personal gains just smacks of inethical behaviour, no matter the justification.

I saw the FAKE RESPECT patch selling at RM5
Haha...what a joke

Since I've bought the Italy home 2008 jersey that is made by puma using USP technology... there is a need to be careful when ironing it...



This Italy jersey uses the USP technology:



Some information on puma's USP technology:



These jerseys have a unique mesh material on some areas of the jersey (mainly on the front). As you can see below, the front material (on the outside) looks like a net:


In reality, there are 2 separate layers. One is the outer layer (that looks like a net) as shown above, another layer is the inner layer as shown below:



Now.. as jerseyman advised previously.. washing your jersey in my opinion and then ironing it helps to prolong it's lifespan if you tend to wear it.. Of course, the best method to keep your jersey forever is by keeping it untouched.. Then keeping it in plastic covers is another story. But if you want to iron your puma USP tech jerseys after you've washed and spin dried them.. be careful..

Do not:



Why?

Although it is recommended to iron press beneath your jersey's club crest, sponsors and nameset (to enhance the glue bonding) for the puma USP tech jerseys.. there are 2 separate layers.. By doing so (with no cover between the inner and outer layer) will cause the club crest/puma logo that is applied on the outer layer to bond and stick with the inner layer.. This causes the jersey to not function using it's USP technology as optimum as possible (bad ventilation) and it doesn't feel nice... right?

For all.. I mean all puma jerseys that uses this USP technology.. notice on the front layer (bottom half), there is a small gap hole located as shown below:



At first I though that my jersey has a torn stitching on the bottom half (front layer).. but it was actually intended to be there.. Why? So that you can insert into the gap hole (in between the 2 layers) a paper cover that you can use to cover beneath the club crest/puma logo. This gap hole can also be used to insert a cover that covers when you want to print the front number in front of the jersey (for national team jerseys)...

To be continued..

Continued..

Here's how to do it..

First, look for a rough paper that you can use as a cover. I've opted for the oil paper that normally comes together in plastic bags of jerseys. Then I cut it to make it a small rectangular shape as shown below:



Then I insert the paper into the gap hole:


Then.. place the paper beneath where the club crest or puma logo sits:


You can then cover the club crest/puma logo with plain white cloth before you iron on top of it. This is to avoid iron marks or ruining the crest/logo:



You can sprinkle some water before you iron. Then iron press it gently.. the idea is just to enhance the glue bonding and to make the crest's surface ironed and smooth:



After you've done that.. notice that the crest/puma logo will not stick on the paper cover. If it does, it might be minimal and can be peeled off easily:



Next step is to iron the puma logos near the shoulders.. To do this, as usual, slide the paper cover up to the area where the puma logo near the shoulder sits:



Then.. As what was done earlier.. Cover the area with plain cloth and then iron press it.. This will help bond the glue of the puma logo and crests.. Have fun!

Hah now i know what is the gap is for, rupa rupanya it's for that...

The gap is actually for application of front number and patch, so that the netting would not stick onto the shirt when application.

wow, never thought ironing jerseys would require so much attention to detail and takes a lot of work. Nice guide, as always jerseyman

Yes taiko.. I remember you telling me this way back in 2008.. You went to ali and applied the NNs there, for your brother I think. I remember you telling me about it (the need to insert extra paper cover for front number printing)..

Thanks

need some advise here.

i purchased 4 jerseys from kitbag with the total value of £64.35 plus £6.95 shipping fee. it was 0.8kg as stated in the tracking website.

UPS called up to inform that i need to pay the tax of RM 209.80

i need advise here. my total purchase is below RM 500 and below 1kg. in fact is abt RM 400 and the tax is ridiculously high. as i read from the previous thread:

"And here comes the important part. Any goods with a declared invoice value of RM500 or lesser is not dutiable, irregardless of how high the actual tax, ie. 40% or 50% tax. So its safe to say that if your purchase value is below RM500, you won't need to pay any form of tax."

is there any way for me to be exempted from the tax? can i refuse to accept the item. if yes, what will happen?

thanks in advance.

refuse to accept, and ask UPS to show you the proof of tax form

How come you paid £6.95 for UPS? Ask UPS to email you the tax form from the customs and check the freight value, that's the one that is expensive and varies.

I don't think there's a way to exempt tax. Don't know what will happen if you refuse to accept.

RM500 is inclusive of all the insurances, etc. That's why even if when you convert your nett purchase (from Kitbag) to RM lower than RM500, you still may get taxed once the final amounts are added in, and that amount exceeds RM500.

You may have been upgraded from Royal Mail to UPS due to the value of your purchases.

You can refuse to accept, of which the whole package will be sent back to Kitbag. However, I am not sure what will the amount charged to your CC, as they may include postage, handling fee, etc.

actually the value of your total shipment seems quite low.
i believe kitbag auto-upgraded your shipment thats why u got the UPS option.

anyway back to the topic, the amount of your shipment and the weight of your shipment seems pretty low.
so i think the best option would be for you to go to the UPS office and check out the customs form for yourself.
make sure you read the details on being taxed.

rm209 is not alot. they do charge rm50 for their handling fee for paying the customs tax for you first.
i believe another guy had a problem similiar to this and he went to sort it out at the office, and got off without paying.
cant remember exactly what happend.
so just check the form, dont worry cos they have everything in black and white.
