damn, such nice deals

GaryTan, are u planning to get it? coz my hands might get too itchy but i dun wanna be a KS

hehe thanks, i know eBay is a free-for-all business but i still dun feel comfy getting something that other members found, unless he/she does not intend to get it...

so if you guys can excuse me

oh yea guys, does anyone know if the new 10/11 Inter Milan shirt comes with the Scudetto patch? i heard there are some batches that have and some do not have? Also what about the Copa Italia winners badge? for Roma's shirt last time it comes sewn together, but dun think it will come with the Nike shirts?

I think i will settle for my Inter shirts from Subsidesports. it was mentioned to have the Scudetto patch, or given free. as for Copa Italia, SoccerAuthentics is selling 1 for about GBP4.

lol why sell? dammit i think on this day alone i oredi have my eyes set on so many shirts

I think Nike club shirts are quite on the long side. My MU kit is long-ish as well. but width and sleeve length, is fine.

And that is a fine away kit, For Inter Shirts i onl buy the home but this time i break the rule for the awesome Biscione on the side of the shirt Too bad u have to sell it

i suggest u sell in ebay directly. If you check classicfootballshirts, that same shirt are being sold by them for nearly GBP50, they earn like 150% profit from just buying from u and resell it.

eh mamat ni from my current location la, Adelaide Australia

Lol dude, I'm just saying that seller is from where I am now la, not hinting anything >.<

Besides, why are you so particular about who the seller is comparing him with anyway? He is selling a Liverpool jersey with mcmanaman printed, it is authentic and that's all that matters. Why wanna discuss who mcmanaman is like??? Rather pointless IMO

it's not a buy it now, its a bidding system starting with GBP8 and with 8 days left, price will surely go higher.

if u are suggesting the seller from the link u quoted is selling the so called "ori" grade, then i'd say ive seen better fakes than those. the ones sold in the LYN link quoted above is very clear fake, definitely not the best out there.

the grey area about such DIY printings is that because there is no official release, its difficult to claim it is fake. So if you wanna get 1/DIY yourself such shirts, for personal pleasure like all of us DIY-ers love, then by all means go ahead. The worry that some of us here have is that some bugger get a sponsorless Formotion Liverpool shirt, apply the DIY sponsor and then selling it as a match issued/ match worn shirts. This is the biggest concern by Michael Yip about the carlsberg sponsor issues IMO.

Just to share this latest haul here, because i got it from the help of member GaryTan, thanks mate! Got it today, straight apply RONALDO 7



Differences with replica:

1. No Portugal flag thingy on top of the sizing info:



2. Big ventilation holes at the side, and bigger mesh panels at the back:



3. Printed washing info:



Similarities include the presence of Dri-FIT embroidery (usually embroideries like NikeFIT isnt on previous season's player shirt)



The Considered Design behind the crest:

PI kits are not commercially available and because of that are rarer and more "collectible". And even if they are comemrcially available like Liverpool Formotion, it's in a limited quantity. As for comfiness, it's subjective. For me, replica sometimes are too long and baggy, while PI kits do give me a "cut" look...maybe because i dun have a tummy hihihi

Of course when the number of PI kits leaked becomes too many, basic supply-demand will cause the price to drop, for example i got myself a Barca 0809 home PI kit for only GBP16, even cheaper than normal replica when on sale!

i mean comparing to replica la replica u can find in every single sports shop all over the world, can u find the same for PI? it's just that we have lubangs and sources to get such PI, thats why it doesnt seem rare to us. Try not going to eBay, forums etc and see if u can find PI shirts or not. Also about PI durability, i've used PI shirts for football training a couple of times, and wash it too...no problem so far. Aston Villa Nike PI, durable. Italy PI that is double meshed and 100 percent glued, no problem as well. my friend kewellrulez used Liverpool Formotion day in and day out for training, never hear him complain also...it's how u take care of the shirt when washing and cleaning.

replica and PI shirts have their own values and uses, so cant reli say replica better than PI, or PI better than replica.

totally understand that, stitches are more robust than heat or glued seam. However i'm just merely replying to arvil22, who says he cant understand why some people are into PI. so i'm giving reasons as to why some might regard PI to be collectibles, especially those super duper rare ones. When it comes to wearing, of course i dun just wear PI, most of the PI's are too large for me to wear anyway, difficult to find PI in size S/M.

and i think the term "more durable and robust" has been misunderstood by some. Of course PI may not be as strong as replica, coz they are meant for wear in match to match basis, but that doesnt mean they are totally crap in terms of quality, otherwise when shirt tugging happens on field, the shirt will be torn. They are still durable, but replica is more durable. Besides not all PI shirts are heated bonded, Nike PI shirts nowadays are all stitched and the logo and club badge are all embroided as well. So it is not completely right to generalize replica > PI in terms of durability because some are, some are not. Depends on which PI we are talking about, this differs from manufacturer, which club, what year etc.

Anyway if there's anyone who think i am saying PI is good and replica is second grade, then sorry if i'm misleading. my collection consists of mostly replicas and occasional PI if the price is right, i think roughly to the ratio of 10 to 1. Just that Arvil22 doesnt seem to think PI is worth collecting, so i just shed some light onto why some people collect PI as well. Hope what i said was not taken out of context

As for belittling others, those guys from my-fjc will know how strict and stern and no-nonsense i can be when it comes to people who are unethical or do illegal stuff or being rude to each other

actually, the portugal one is part heat seamed, and then sewn on top. as in, some part is only stitched, then some part heated and sewn.

that being said, i believe the PI for Nike will have printed washing tag, and the NASCIDO PARA/JOGAR FUTEBOL tag above the sizing info will not be there...but the mesh panel at the back and the holes at the side are PI stuff, so this seems like a hybrid

To be honest, the main issue is with the MetroSports products, not so much with SportingID products. For example there's 2 productions of the 05-07 England Home NN, both MetroSports and SportingID was licensed to produce them. Expired ones are usually the MetroSports version. Metrosports was bought over by SportingID few years back, so theoretically newer batches of PU NN should not have such problems, assuming SportingID continue using the "better" glue, material and production methods. (Correct me if im wrong on these "history")

However, many other factors need to be taken into account as well, like weather, storage condition etc. So it is still advisable not to apply NN that is a few years old. If you still need to push on it, get it done using a proper heat press machine and not using the DIY way of iron and board. Even then there's still risk to it.

Adidas NN by themselves are problematic, even the 2008-2010 ones have problem with difficulty peeling. I cant answer as i never deal with the 2008 one to be honest.
