guys, i got the franc e jersey on ebay and the seller agreed to refund me because he said that he will check the problem with his stock supplier

hey peeps.just wondering.do u guys especially the old time jc-ers here could like differentiate a replica & a fake kit by just a glimpse. i.e just by passing a person wearing the kit or just from a pic w/o the obvious hints (labels,tags,etc) ? i mean the fake nowadays are getting waaayyyyyyyyy better. for example i just saw the current season's fake man utd kit sold & is almost indistinguishable except of the tags even down to the v-shaped ventilation panels is brilliantly reproduced. so i was wondering whats the most obvious giveaways to detect fake jerseys nowadays?? i used to look out for the club badge & manufacturers logo & material.so usually i could see whether ppl are wearing fake or replica jerseys.been my hobby whenever i walk around or watching football at mamak what say u??

Must not be confused between the kick-off version and the replica, because many take the man utd kick-off version as fake.

To learn to differentiate just by looking, one usually have to own the original first, not just see the jersey at boutiques or ALI.

To me, I will look at the badge first. Sometimes the person walk so fast you also cannot see clearly. 2nd, the colour of the jersey. Even white jerseys have like different tones. 3rd is the material/texture of the jersey, you can see the material of the jersey if you have touched the original one. I have a few other "tricks" but don't know how to explain.

Well I am not a taiko, so maybe jerseyman will know best, but he might not share as there might be fake sellers reading this thread.

yeah lor. it's hard to share such info just in case it falls into the wrong hands.

but as dragonrock said, it's much easier to notice all the little features in a jersey after you've own them yourself.

guys, this TS here claim he sells original jersey.
RM100 each for WC2010! with RM30 for NN! i think it's fake...

well you never know. hopefully it's legit, then we can get super cheap jerseys.
let him prove himself first.

yours is the PI boxset right?
i think it's at least rm450?
sweet

The seller still claim that he got it directly from Al-Ikhsan suplier....

@smudge

all i can say it comes from experience and I do agree that the fake technology is getting better every passing year and it'll be very very hard to spot fakes from originals in the near future. thus always buy from trusted online shops/physical shops as per 1st page.

yeah.aint a problem if buy from official/reputable sources.but if wanting to grab great deals from evilbay is a b***h.even here on LYN got selling kits esp for WC offering super prices but to prove authenticity is a problem.on newer jerseys even the tags are duplicated perfectly.

for me if u look proper at jersey the material is totally different.. the uptown one n the original one..

however for high quality replicas.. only touching will tell the different, not looking..

that's normal bro, all faker always said from al-ikhsan supplier...

anyone knows when the new Malaysia or Singapore national team kit will be out?

yea the design look like a training jersey only
erm formotion usually can be found on ebay.
techfit is a recently new type of jerseys that players wear. got webbing on the back.

i believe the fakers make alot of money during big events like the world cup, where everyone is frenzied into the hype of the game. so even non football people and non jersey collectors will suddenly want to buy jerseys because of the hype.

and most of them dont know fake from real. so they cant tell.
they will just say, hey that's freaking cheap. i'll just go n buy it.
so thats where most of the fakers get their money from - naive / ignorant ppl.
