I think the one shown at wiggy sports is the player issue shirt...

Close up look at the club crest shown in the website:


The club crest is not stitched but heat pressed.. from a source that I spoke to when I was in Indonesia few months back, the PI version has heat pressed club crest.

Nevermind, I'll ask Mike (the seller) himself at my-fjc forum later.

You can just buy the plain jersey and get the gold namesets from other sellers such as ebay sellers selling the gold letterings/numbers individually also..

so PI is different from authentic? 10/11 authentic is still selling from UD @ £89.99. i dont see anywhere on the website telling this is PI version either.

If you're referring to the nike 'authentic' versions sold to public (last time in boxeset)... then my explanation is below. Anyway this has been discussed earlier before in this thread...

Nike 'authentic' versions sold to public are merely PI jerseys that has washing tags inside the jersey. Difference between 'authentic' with PI is the washing tag only. PI has printed washing info inside the jersey, the 'authentic' and replica version has washing tags instead.

And united direct never sells a PI shirt. Closest you can get is the 'auhentic' version.

Is 1st batches and 2nd batches..

Could be also.. but what's intriguing is the club crest.. heat pressed not stitched.

I got mine for GBP 50.83 after minus VAT for Man Utd 2011/12 CHAMPIONS19 with EPL Champs patch. Plus GBP 7 for royal mail signed for.

I think pictures in wiggy's is PI, but the real item they send is Replica, those pictures should be the marketing material provided by Nike to the retailer

thanx for rapid response. so, both are not fake items, rite?

UD uses replica NNs IIRC
ALI sells those felt/Lextra NNs

there are pros and cons for each PU and felt NNs...

good

any one here wear their Ori Jersey go to Futsal/Football??

Al-ikhsan sells player issue namesets (made by senscilia).. velvet material, player sized. United store (United Direct) just like Kitbag (since united direct is under kitbag) sells replica sized and material EPL namesets.

This is why I always encourage people to buy plain shirts from united direct/kitbag. You can buy only if you buy with ucl namesets...

Why the hell do you say that? Why fake? This is the strangest thing I've ever heard since I started collected jerseys in 1998.

And you simply want to screw United Direct easily. Why do you doubt them? They are the official merchandise store. Sorry to say this mate, but your statement can make you look like a laughing stock amongst jersey collectors if you say like that again...

Anyway back to the story about why the man united 2011-2012 jersey photos at wiggy sports is different to the jerseys we buy at united direct/kitbag, here's Mike official answer at my-fjc forum:



And as I have always suspected.. the player issue jersey has the heat pressed club crest.

Case closed.

I'm in total disbelief! Such immature statement coming out from someone who loves wearing his formotions and techfits. Hmm...

thanx master jedi plokoon for such reply telling me being immature.

If you prefer Senscilia type,you can op for Kitbag Asia,they does have PU type or Senscilia type for you to choose.

oh c'mon... didnt u read my last statement? ive said those coz' even kitbag & UD doesnt have direct answers (like u've read my mail to them) u wanna lol.. go ahead. im asking this since many claims mine is fake in fb & no disclaimers in the UD telling about the shirt may be varied or whatsoever. even u suspected something till it was confirmed by some guy. anyhow thanx for ur effort & sure case closed - no longer an issue.
