The EURO and RESPECT patches both looks fake to me.

How To Track Your Purchased Item From UK Using Royal Mail International Signed For

Basically when you want your purchased item from overseas to arrive safely, you want it to be delivered using tracked shipment. For Royal Mail, you can use Royal Mail International Signed For (ISF). It can be tracked and it's tracking code will be tied to Pos Malaysia's tracking code once it has checked in at KLIA, Malaysia.

First thing, you need to obtain the Royal Mail version of the tracking code. Ask from the seller. For this example, my purchase had this Royal Mail tracking code: RJ616371986GB

I then check at Royal Mail's website and item was shipped on 7th Oct 2010.

I then contacted Pos Malaysia KLIA after a week the item was shipped (03-87871122 ext 314/315). I gave them the Royal Mail tracking code and then they gave me the pos malaysia version of the tracking code that is tied to the royal mail code, which is RF101043504MY.

I then checked at pos malaysia's website (http://www.pos.com.my/v1/main2.asp?c=/v1/tracktrace/maintrack.htm) and found that the item was still not yet found in their website on the 14th.

*Update (21/1/2011): POS Malaysia has updated their website.. Here is the latest new link to check your registered mail postage tracking: http://www.pos.com.my/pos/appl/service/sub...stered_mail.asp

On the 15th, it shows that the item was undelivered:

This meant that the postman might have attempted to send the item on 15th but I was not at home (working..). So I then went to the post office today and personally collected the parcel by giving the malaysian tracking code. And walla:

When checked at the pos malaysia website today:


This method can be applied for registered mail from other country's mail services such as SingPost, Hong Kong Post, USPS etc... just follow the steps shown above.

Remember.. I highly recommend using Royal Mail International Signed For. Do not use Royal Mail Airsure because the item doesn't require signature upon arrival and will be left in the postbox like normal airmail. Better opt for ISF so that it is safe and if you're not at home, you can personally collect it later at the post office.

Jerseyman gives it's seal of approval. 100% authentic shirt. Not sure about the signatures though.

Yours has the american washing tag style. But back then.. before the 06-07 season, nike jerseys sold asian market also used the same american market styled washing tags. So your jersey might be sold locally.

And please resize your photo...

There is always a possibility that it goes missing since it's not tracked... Another thing to consider is where you live. If you live in normal local housing area (terrace, bungalow, semi-D) then ok.. but if you live in apartment or flat.. with pigeon hole typed post box in the ground floor.. I highly don't recommend because it might get lost. Another factor to play in role is if you know your housing area's postman or not.. be friends with him, give him free drinks or jajan (like I did) he will appreciate you and be honest to you hopefully.

If you're still worried, you can ask kitbag to deliver it to a safer address.. such as your office.

Yes, you can contact kitbag and seek for a refund.

Taken from My-FJC forum.. enjoy:

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

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.

RM4 per letter. RM12 per back number.

Not sure how much the front number costs since I only did printing for the home shirt (with no front number printing). Maybe RM4 or RM6 per number

The one that can put front number is actually the player issue stock. This one is very hard to find at the moment because it was not meant for sale, only meant for the malaysia kitman to be use by the players. It might be sold later but maybe later before the lifespan ends.

Also the sizing is different. Just to sum it up.. only the player issue one has it.

Actually that jersey is a DIY of a plain striped adidas jersey in the 90s.

And sadly that is not the correct design.

From what I remembered, the Malaysia home jersey (as worn against Arsenal in 1999 friendly..... remembered that Titus James attended the match and was interviewed by TV3 reporter.. he said he was an Arsenal fan) has the 3 stripes running only until the shoulders (not up to the collars like the photo). The design was similar to Newcastle's first ever adidas home jersey (1995-1997).

And you can see the outline of the flag is blue colour... which should be white.

Please take photos of your shirt's washing tags and then share it with us. We can later check and validate.

Ah.. Found the graphical photo of that jersey:


As you can see, the white 3 stripes on the sleeves doesn't run up to the collars, only to the shoulders only. And there should be one white stripe around the collars as well... Which is also what I recalled as well...

Should be ok and authentic because the washing tags from your photos are for european market jerseys..

The long sleeve is authentic. There were no L size fakes back then. The long sleeve is a european market type jersey, hence the different washing tags (inner tags) inside.

If you checked the first page of this thread, I've already written a How To Guide on applying the retro namesets made by wiggy:

From the guide, I clearly shown how to arrange the delicate namesets from it's small plastic bag on to the jersey.. Take it out slowly and use the back paper beneath each individual letter to lift it out from it's small plastic bag:

One of the reasons why most jersey collectors including myself prefer the ones from wiggy is because they have the correct red colouring for their red namesets. Namesets from hong kong (example, homeofbadges) have darker red coloured namesets which is not accurate. So if you want to apply namesets on your england or blackburn rovers jerseys that are red colour, then better get them from wiggy.

Only downside of the namesets from wiggy is that the letters are soft, soggy and very delicate. To counter this, you need to be patient and remove the letters from it's packaging slowly as guided above. Another issue is that the glue is not strong. If this happens, you can use glue to enhance it's bonding, if it peels off again later after application. You can use a polyurethane type glue such as the glue that I used in my guide on how to use glue to fix your jersey.. this guide is also available in the first page:

Read the guide above on how to use glue to fix any problems with your jersey. Here is the glue that I used:

Don't use gam gajah because it is acidic and will ruin your jersey. Besides, when it bonds.. it becomes harden and will ruin the smooth surface of your jersey.

Sorry. No fake jerseys in this thread.
Hard to tell.. no actual photos of the jerseys he is selling. I've asked about it in the thread.. let's see how it goes.

But if you ask me personally........................................... I think you know the answer already

Already checked... they are fake indeed..


Yes I know it is a pain to apply them. But I have succeeded to do so.. even the folks at al-ikhsan complain about it. But again, it is not impossible..

You can buy retro namesets from other sellers such as from hong kong (homeofbadges) or from subside (limited stock).

Bagi lah diaorang star tu... rare item tu. Represents the victory in the 2010.

Mungkin tahun depan (2012 ke atas).. kalau ditakdirkan another winner of the Malaysian Cup in 2011... then takleh la pakai star tu...
