everything appearing on a shirt is dictated by FIFA / UEFA / League (delete where appropriate) rules including the number of logos, size of logos, manufacturer's logos etc. The measurements / requirements differ between Fifa / Uefa / respective league etc. The most obvious ecxample is the banning of alcohol or betting sponsors in some leagues and not others. The other one is the difference is size of sponsors. Of cos the advertisers, being kiasu would always want their logo to appear as big as possible so if the allowable measurement is longer and bigger they will definitely put in a bigger logo.

hey, thanks for the explanation chcher.

anyone experienced with http://www.prodirectsoccer.com before? is this website reliable?

The sizing chart for both kitbag and kitbag asia are the same for the england jersey. XS=34,S=36 etc.

I am buying jersey with old sizing format(S,M,L,XL and etc), not the new one (38,40,42,44,46, etc)

Yes, just do the conversions like the one I just provided.
How about you state the size you need?

I bought size L.

Im a little confused over your situation. Am I right to say you wish to convert L into number sizing?
What about the situation with kitbag and kitbagasia then?

old england shirt (2008) used to have different sizing printed on the shirt, right? (for example UK L, US L, ASIA XL). I bought an ENGLAND AWAY 2008/2010 size L in KITBAGASIA, my question is the size L is for ASIA or UK?

Is it true that there are no Man Utd home 98-00 Ls jerseys made in China?

aiseyman, Odie face gleeming seh...hehee. Envious of you guys...can meet these idols plus win official signed jerseys somemore.

Jerseyman's Review: 2010 Malaysia Home Jersey (Double X)

Jerseyman just bought the Malaysia's new 2010 Barcoded Home Jersey that is currently being used by the Malaysian National Team in the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 tournament (a tournament previously known as Tiger Cup... well basically the trophy and the tournament itself is named after their main sponsors) and this tournament is basically a South East Asia nations cup.

When the new home kit photos was leaked out few months back, it caused an uproar and disappointment to many Malaysian supporters because of it's strange design. In other international forums, a lot of people gave loads of stick regarding the design... yes, it is so strange and out of the box to me.. Normally the Malaysian jersey is either dominantly yellow with some black (a design popularly used by adidas previously) or a yellow black striped designed theme..

Here's the home jersey in action during the AFF Suzuki Cup tournament:



I have no idea why Nike decided to go for this design........

Anyway today I bought the new home jersey from Nike Hytex Studio in Sunway Piramid. It's sold out at almost all stores that I manage to contact including al-ikhsan stores............... So had no choice but to buy it before it becomes a rare item:



I also took the opportunity while doing the My-FJC club crest and MDT design at Q-Line to purchase the nameset as well. I opted to put my own name... hahaha..

So here's the new jersey with the nameset that I purchased from Q-Line yesterday:


For those who don't know, Q-Line is a store located in Pertama Kompleks, KL and they are the official supplier for the Malaysia National Team's nameset production and printing. So you can say, the nameset is player issue nameset also hehehe.. Something new at Q-Line is that they now own 2 plotting machines (1 for making namesets, another to make logos) so the owner (James) doesn't need to outsource the production anymore. Another new thing is that the letters are now produced ON THE SPOT at the store. No more individual letters to arrange and align. Here's the nameset that I bought from Q-Line for my jersey:


Now.. one thing that I'm annoyed with the home jersey design is that... the replica version is totally different compared to the player issue (as worn by the players) in terms of the barcode design on the chest.. Nike as usual did this not for the first time.. The Portugal World Cup Away 2010 jersey, Russia Home & Away Euro 2008, Holland Away Euro 2008... stupid idea by Nike. I wish.. really with that the replica home kit was like this:


Damn you Nike!

I decided not to put a plain PU square on the chest and number printing on it... It makes the shirt more uglier if I do that...

Anyway.. let's have a closer look at the jersey...


To those who don't understand Malay.. TANAH means land, TUMPAHNYA means spills, DARAH means blood and KU is a short form of AKU that means me.

The wordings is actually part of the Malaysian national song's lyrics. It has 2 meanings:

1. This is the land where I was born.. where the blood of my mother spills out after I was born hahaha..
2. This is the land where I will bleed because I fight in war or something else.. but in honour la..

But the font of the wordings is a bit creepy to my liking.. Looks like a font more suitable for a Death Metal album. Nevermind..



To be continued..

Continued..

This jersey like other South East Asia countries participating in the tournament that are sponsored by nike (Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand) all have new kits that uses the previously World Cup 2010 nike themes.. So on the back of the jersey, there is this long PU tab with the 'MALAYSIA' wordings in it:


Then there's this annoying D shaped stitching beneath the collars.. The player issue one doesn't have the D stitching... this causes my nameset to be placed slightly below the jersey.. opposite to the player jersey's nameset which isn't too below.

Another similar feature on this jersey that is similar to the nike World Cup 2010 theme design is the long PU tab (that is thicker) and has small holes to mimic how recycled mineral bottles are stacked (I think so) that is printed on the end of the sleeves:



The cutting of the sleeves is also a bit narrow and smaller... asian cutting, what do you expect?

Now.. inside the jersey, there is the asian market washing tags:


I am a bit baffled here.. From the washing tags shown above.. the Malaysia home jersey has the following Chinese © and Korean (K) sizing:

©: 185/100A
(K): 115 for Generic, 115cm for chest..

Here's the key important figure that makes me wonder.. The (K) sizing is 115 or 115cm.. this is the same number for normal XXL sized European team jerseys (like Man United). I remembered that last season's 2007-09 Malaysia Home And Away XXL has (K) sizing of 110 or 110cm.. and the XXXL home and away has (K) sizing of 115 or 115cm.

So does this mean the cutting for this shirt is bigger compared to last season's? Hard to answer. Maybe, yes.

Now.. compare the washing tags between Malaysia's home jersey with the current 2010 Man United home jersey (XXL):



Both look the same right?

But if you put on top of each other both jerseys.. you can see the difference in cutting and sizing, even though both are XXL:


A lot of difference... Again, Damn You Nike!

What do I need to have a jersey that is 100% the same as the Man United XXL? 4XL perhaps.. crazy.

Now, most people would like to ask.. how much is the width (in inches) between armpit to armpit for this jersey?


It's 23.5 inches.. WTF:


23.5 inches or 47 inches.. that is like XL.

Luckily I can wear XL now.. but still I prefer XXL for the super comfyness and baggyness.. hahaha..



Ok.. now let's do the FAIZ 7 printing on this jersey:


To be continued..

Continued..


But again.. better do the printing at the store using the heatpress machine... It's FOC so why not.. I did it myself just for the sake of thrill doing it hehe..

a. What Jerseyman Likes:
The Malaysian flag replacing the FAM crest
Cutting is slightly bigger than last season's XXL (I guess)
TANAH TUMPAHNYA DARAHKU beneath the flag

a. What Jerseyman Dislikes:
No gap on the chest like the player issue jersey. What the hell is nike thinking?
The cutting is still too small for my liking. Even adidas originals XL has bigger cuttings
The annoying D shaped stitiching beneath the collars (at the back of the jersey)

Design: 2 out of 5 (Horrible design in my opinion. The barcode design looks strange (but it doesn't matter if Malaysia wins something wearing it).. But the missing gap on the chest makes it very bad.)
Material: 4 out of 5 (Similar to other Nike jerseys... stretchy and not so irritating to wear even though the jersey's material is claimed to be made out of recycled mineral bottles)
Cutting: 2 out of 5 (Nike states that the jersey should be similar like the European team counterparts (based on the © and (K) sizing info printed on the washing tags..) but it is false hope. See the difference on the photo)
Comfortness: 3 out of 5 (Comfy? What do you think for big sized people like me?)
Overall: 3 out of 5

thanks faiz for the review..
anyway, where did you get the NNs for malaysia JC?

Yup, at a store called Q-Line located in pertama kompleks. They are also the official supplier for Malaysia's national team printing and for some other M-League teams.

Sizing is indeed smaller.... what to do.

costing for the nameset? might be getting it since can complete it with nameset...
