Hi all...
I just want some clarification about one of my jersey...
Can someone tell me the version of this jersey and also it's authenticity?
Seems like not any of my other jerseys.


Thanks.

oh really? that's mean this one is my first PI jersey. BTW i get it as a souvenir from relatives. They just get back from UK. 

Well, I understand why some people get fakes. It's a cheap and somewhat OK shirt. And granted when people don't know about where and how to get the shirts fairly cheap, it can sometimes go to ridiculous prices. I mean, some of this sellers, the prices they are selling...wow. Ridiculous.

IMO, i have different observation, may be i'm not smart enough. Its sad that people in Malaysia have to buy expensive jerseys if they don't know its cheaper outside. I wonder how much profit margin for Nike and Adidas, etc, that is the key factor that put people off to buy an original jersey in our country's.

Imagine in UK, take factory operator as example, their minimum hourly pay 5 years back was roughly £5.2,  but their brand new jersey during that time only cost about £30, 6 hrs work and you can get an original jersey.

How about in Malaysia? How much a factory operator earn per day? RM 20? Do your maths to get an original shirt. Sorry to say, those big time manufacturer, retailer is the one who acting like vampire, what is the manufacturing cost of a piece of jersey? Why they move their factory to place like China, Thailand, etc but not UK, Germany, US, etc. Hopefully they earn small small profit enough since they are big enough, don't be too greedy, let people in Malaysia have chance to own original stuff within our budget.

Its shame that some people saying white but doing black, which is unethical. I wonder how much the retailer here earn for every one piece of jersey or NNs sold? My guess is nearly 100% since they are big enough, may be some of the senior here can give some idea

No matter what business you're in, the manufacturers will always have the highest profit, that's their business. They set up factories, hire workers, spend on advertisement, endorsement. All of this needs money.

Who cares how long someone in UK needs to work to afford an original jersey, we still end up paying the same price right?

What irks us jcs the most are the middle men that try to take full advantage of sale items and hike them up to gain profit. E.g. few many weeks ago Kitbag was having sale for the UCL 07/08 MU Champions Patch and the WCC patch for only 2-3 pounds. Some forummer here bought a load of them back here and sold for RM70. Calculate his profit margin if you still can't see it. This prevents and hinders genuine collectors who have been searching and waiting to get those patches. Instead of sharing information, they sapu everything and then sell at a higher price. With these kind of mentality and attitude, how do you encourage new collectors to venture into this hobby or even existing collectors to continue, who end up paying the inflated price? And we start blaming people for buying pirated stuff. This hobby doesn't have to expensive. Yes, there are some shirts which will be more expensive but all of the collectors also look for great deals that can be as cheap as RM 100 per jersey. That's why you can't blame some of the collectors here who have these info but are reluctant to share it publicly because they know it'll only end up being abused by some profit hunters, if you know what I mean.

That is a big disappointment, sold an DIY stuff but claimed it as original, anyway, if you are happy to apply it, there isn't any problem
The 3rd kit look stunning, nice new kit
