Hey bro, firstly cool down. Secondly, don't just rely on the tag number because fakes today are managed to copy them. What can i say after i observed the pics you've posted, sorry to say that IMO the jersey is fake. I've compared it to mine on certain criteria (physical of the shirt). Seems like the quality is not good enough to be labelled as authentic. As for the ALI staff, he/she just conclude your Man Utd jersey is authentic based on the valid product code. I recommend that you request a sample from your 'supplier' and take it to ALI for comparison, so that you can differentiate the details, not just the product code that MAY have been copied illegally.

Do me a favour and take clear pic of 1) RM Badge; 2) sizing details on collar; 3) closeup of shoulder stripes.

As for your contention ur cousin is an authorized reseller, i find it appalling, unless ur cousin can show authority he us authorized by adidas or Nike to sell the shirts at cost price, he may end up answerable to his licensers. In business it is common sense that there are certain terms as an authorized distributor yo adhere to. Unless iIt is parallel imports or he is doing it illegally. In fact if its true i would lilke to know which ALI this is wjo are co-hortshm. Anyway that's beside the point. Waitfor more pics yo verify. Thnx for ur patience.

Only adidas or Nike  reps can conclusively say so. So in that sense their words may not carry too much weight if their reasonings are mechanical ones. My 2 cents with no disrespect meant to any ALI staff.

re kaka_89, from the recent pics you posted, I am of the view the shirts are fakes. I am very unwilling to share the information to you as I have more or less made up my mind that you are here (whether concioiusly / willingly or not i donno) to fish for information to improve the fakes which I must say are very good. Regretfully, I will be reporting your thread to Mods who I welcome to PM me for information on my conclusion, and let them decide. I can reveal to you there are 2 very visible errors in the shirts. I have had a quick discussion with some My-FJC members who share the same view.

Further, on a second look at the jerseys spread on the floor in your "cousin"'s pictures when he took the MU shirt, i can say most of them look fake to the naked eyes already based on the packaging etc.

Regarding the fake jersey issue, wanna clarify something. I recently bought a France home kit from Summit Adidas factory outlet. It cost me MYR111.90. So if I want to identify the authenticity, which website should I go to verify the barcode?

Re kaka_89, I m really curious to know this Cuz of urs as if that's the stock he sends to retailers, then he is sending fakes. For that, I will point these out n I hope u take this as the end.

1) there is no size S in japan. And don tell me that's factory defect as it speared in a lot of fake kits I've seen recently.

2) the adidas logo should be 'clean' from the back ie there should not be one whole white backing behind the logo.

I hope u will do the necessary to remove the thread. I take ur word that u r sincere n do not wish to sell fakes again.

I'm gonna be utterly staright forward here and im gonna say some harsh things but this is how i feel rite now and im soooo gonna let it out..everyone has been polite to kaka_89 here and try giving him a chance but rite now im gonna give another perspective on this..a harsher one..

Simple fact is, its very hard to trust u kaka_89..u have come here before and had the guts to promote ur thread selling FAKE jerseys..that is a FACT..it was u who was selling them and i dont care if it was ur cousin or ur uncle or ur grandma who supplied u with the jerseys..u were still dumb enough to sell them off and even came here to sell it when this is a thread that clearly states no discussion or promoting of fake items..i dont care if u knew or not the jerseys were fake, either u didnt know or u knew, u still had very low knowledge regarding this thread..

U came on here asking whether ur Real Madrid jersey was fake or authentic..u even showed ur Barca shirt to prove u have authentic jersey..ok that was authentic..suddenly u pop up with another thread of jerseys to sell..out of nowhere suddenly its ur cousin supplying them and the story drags on and on..

im saying this straight up..i think ur Real jersey is a fake..i think either your story about going to ALI for verification is also FAKE or just the ALI staff or not that experienced..i think the jerseys u are selling is still FAKE based on the pics already posted..I think the jerseys u have in stock is the same as the ones u were previously selling..i also doubt the cousin of urs actually exist since u have changed  the story about him so many times..n u still say u dont wanna wreck his career but the fact is u are actually doing it..give a taikos his details and let the taikos here check it out..if not, im gonna stick to my thinking that everything bout this issue is FAKE including ur cousin and the jerseys u have..

n dare i say it, the reason u posted those pics of that Real Madrid shirt was because u wanted to test the waters or the market here, whether ur FAKE RM shirt would be passed off as authentic here by the taikos..u were doing that so that u can claim ur FAKES or authentic and that u can sell them for RM180, supposedly a cheap price for authentic jerseys..what the heck..u were already accepting orders on jerseys that u did not have in hand..and u asked for deposits for the them too plus the fact u urself didnt have a clue whether the jerseys u would be selling is authentic or nor..what kind of business man does this? what kind of true jersey seller does this..? I tell u what kind of seller does this..FAKE JERSEY SELLERS!!!

since u have already been proven of selling FAKE jerseys here before and if it is proven that u are trying to do it again (and i dont buy ur acting as if u dont know ur jerseys are FAKE) i and others here would kick u out if we could..

its people like u who kill the art, beauty n uniqueness of buying and collecting authentic jerseys..some here pay their hard earn money to buy jerseys and yet we have people like u who try weave their words and actions into making people fall for the FAKE jerseys..

THIS IS MY OPINION AND I CAN SAY WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT!!!

2) Did you show them the poor stitching on the back of the badge? I am very very sure originals do not have that. You can even compare with any Adidas stores etc and you can show me if you find any with it. This is a classic poor embroidery for fakes as the originals would have a clean stitching for the badge.

3) As mentioned earlier, the onus is NOT for us buyers to call adidas etc to verify for u. It is for you to get the necessary authentication if there are doubts. As far as i am concern and based on my own observations, the RM shirt is a clear fake. The fact that Adidas ccould not authenticate it on the spot confirms my suspicion.

4) again you are bringing up your "cousin's stocks". I am very sure Adias would not allow have allowed their authourised distributors to undercut the margin so much below the RRP, unless it is done without their permission. Which would mean anyuone buying from this is helping an illegal cause. I do admit this is my speculation only, but it is one i believe reasonably drawn from the circumstances of the trade etc. If you have the guts, you can put your cousin's name out if he is not doing anything illegal. Then I can do the necessary checks etc, from CCM, from licenses etc.

5) Even assuming your suggestion is true and that there was a printing error, then it is and rightfully be rejected stocks. How can rejected stocks still be sold at RM180??

i think bro kaka_89 should provide more samples of shirt to prove the authenticity of your shirts that you are trying to sell. All this while you only show 1 shirt which is the Real Madrid shirt (even that some of the member here doubt it's authenticity). It will be a big help if you provide more convincing evidence of you selling ori by giving more pics samples. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to accuse you of anything.

One can show pictures of 1 ori shirt (maybe it's his own collection) and the sell to others fake. Some customers feedback will also help. Other than that, hard to convince anyone to buy. That's my 2 cents.
