re chikorita85,
advice is dont be choosy on EPL old nns, it is getting out of stock world. So better buy what you can get on ebay, even though it may not be cheap, if u really want to complete ur shirt. If not u may try look for shirt with NNs on ebay too.

Its no longer used by the clubs, thats why its not produced anymore.

Lextra is the american company that owns the patent to the heat transfer print for EPL NNs pre 07. Sporting ID / Chris Kay was the official supplier. But lextra and Sporting ID has since broken off, and the new EPL NNs are produced by Sporting ID with their own technology called Scencilia.

re chikorita85, we do not condone fakes here but i dont agree there are "good" fakes from china, the glue and the material will only last good initially, after a few washes u will see the difference.

Anyway why would u wan to put fake nns on ur shirts especially if they are rare? better keeping them plain.

the only "grey area" are some repro NNs produced for shirts where the NNs were not officially available in the first place for public sale ie up until the early 1990s.

re renjiv2,

as arvil22 pointed out, unlikely. those are only prepared for match shirts. you can diy though if you really want it by sending the same to embroidery shops provided u get a very good picture.

re kikurazz,

unlikely as it stands now. they are controlled items by FIFA. But inevitably there will be leaks, so look out for them and be preapred to pay slightly higher fees for them.

match day transfer is those words on the shirt on some significant match days, like the one shown by December 1n death a few answers on top of your earlier posts.

re ghoster, as pointed out by Pyroboy earlier, such MDTs are a "grey area".

Wont call them "fake" if there is no official "original" out there which is available commercially. Best word to describe it is it is DIY - and most MDTs are DIYs anyway cos very rare will there be commercial release of shirts with MDT.

Of cos it is arguably unlicensed - but then again, no one would ever be said to have any IP rights over normal and simple English / other words so there can not be any "fakes" per se. Only non official DIYs.

my 2 cents and assessment.

agree with redyap, not commercially available so its likely to be DIY sponsor. Shirt looks legit from photos.

pyro is right. the shirt was worn on the last home game for liverpool as Carlsberg wanted to have a special one off kit with Chinese logo so as to advertise to the Chinese (where Liverpool has a booth at the Shanghai expo).

I just saw a guy brought a DIY chinese sponsor to ALI for application last week. RM20 only off evilbay (he wouldnt say which seller though). and to my naked eyes the sponsor looks smaller compared to that worn by the players.

Its your own choice whether to get it, as long as you don pass it off as match worn, should be fine.

As for the real match worn shirt, must be a hard gem to get since even the ever resourceful legendary Michael Yip (www.liverpoolkits.com) has yet to lay his hands on one yet

I think Torres 9 is sold ou, but ya u can call and ask before you go.

you can send your shirt to other ALIbranches they would send the shirt to BB for printing anyway, but would take longer to get the shirt back la.

if u buy nns or shirt from them, normally waived. otherwise rm10 per application.

RealOne same price i think

ALI = Al-Ikhsan

They would not have NNs for shorts bro, only NNs for shirts. you have to get it from ebay / wiggy as suggested by others earlier.

To check photos a good guide would be to lookup Getty images.

re fipoch, u can normally still send the shirts to any ALI branch in the klang valley and they will send it to ALI BB for application. Have to wait a bit longer of cos. Bot sure if this is still practiced now.

one off hybrid kits. has characteristics of replica and also PI shirts.

I'll let the taikos with the kits do the explanations in depth

the rm500 is inclusive of shipping charges (actual shipping charges - not the one quoted by Kitbag etc to buyers) so like redyap mentioned, better play safe and keep it around rm450.00 to be safe.

to add on to what arvil22 mentioned, the "XL" tag does not appear near the washing tags for the present adidas original shirts.

Anyway its good to have discussion, but bear in mind some of the seniors may hesitate to spoon feed asnwers just in case any answers are minused by anyone. As we all know, fake shirts are getting oh so real. That is why you wont ever see a thread in the 1st page to give a one by one comparison between real and fakes cos it could so easily be misused.I saw 2 spain shirts last week that i had to do a side-by-side comparison with the ori before i can safely conclude they are fakes.

So would suggest everyone can do a bit of comparison and research etc, and then put up for discussion what you notice is different / or that even after comparing you cant find the difference, then we can put it up for discussion etc.

re joonwei23, nothing much except to wash using normal washing detergent. Dry clean is also a good option. But have to do it fast, if not the logner it is the harder it is to remove the stains.

arvill22, dont get me wrong la, i actually think its good to discuss the question. But ya i agree, for any one who is keen on he hobby, i suggest you can make a short trip to the nearest store (if one does not already have an original shirt of the same make / bathc) and get familiarised with some of the characteristics of the original shirt so you can roughly know what to be on the lookout for. Alot of us still do that, and keep abreast of the latest tags. From what i saw from ALI stores last week, the newer Adidas shirt (like the new RM shirts) seems to have only 1 washing tag and no other small labels attached beneath it. lokos like it will be easier to imitat....or i may have missed something hmm...

replicaroon is a seller of authentic products, but make sure you state the nns / patch u want CLEARLY. There was an incident where a forummer asked for away nns, and home was sent. And this is in the non-clear plastic so couldnt tell until it was ironed. RR did not entertain request for refund then and also did not admit mistake. His english is not really great so just be sure u tell him the right nns.

other than that he is ok. we all would have bought from him at some point in time.

purcahse by email.n Wait for his reply.

ss352 is one of the recommended shops mentioned in the first page. not exactly cheap but recommended. I have been to their "shop" in HK...real small place but full of treasures!

when dealing with HK or Korean sellers, its a risk u have to take, ie the language barrier. I communicate with them in mandarin so probably thats why there was no miscommunication.

sorry to hear ur bad experience with them.
