Yes it is. I know the seller and he is a reputable collector and seller.

They are indeee made in thailand. No worries, they are authentic and yes, nike thailand does make authentic jerseys for certain teams

Can you take some close up photos of your jersey and share them with us?

I need to see the close up photo of the club crest, sizing info, printed washing info inside the shirt and the ventilation holes as well...

Both are original because there are no XXL sized fake jerseys for this jersey and for most jerseys. The pirates are kedekut so no worries.

If you want to buy, better buy from the second seller because the shirt looks in mint condition:

Sorry to chip in. I am not taking sides here. But based on your experience, it happened to a friend of mine as well last time. It was a nike shoe my friend bought from a Nike boutique store in One Utama. After few days (can't remember how long) the shoe had some defects thus my friend sent it back to nike store and luckily they were willing to help. This is because my friend kept with him the receipt and manage to get a replacement. So it can happen to any store to be honest and unfortunately.

I think you should not say that al-ikhsan is not trusted, but you can say that their customer service sucks. That is the correct way of saying it. Not trusted means that they might be untrustful (cannot be trusted) in terms of selling legit or fake stuff. Based on your experience, it has got to do with customer service. Even myself reading your post for the first time got confused with your earlier statement.

When people ask which facebook page, you say you don't want to spoonfed people. Dude, if I was like you, almost a lot of people will not learn many things here or know if a jersey is fake or not. This kind of attitude is not good all the time. I understand sometimes you prefer people to do their own research (as much as I do when people ask me things related to football jerseys) but at least share a link to the facebook page helps to justify what you said earlier.

We don't know al-ikhsan or the owner. To hell with the owners, I don't really know them at all and to be honest, I nowadays rarely buy from there because I can get the things I want cheaper elsewhere. But to be fair to them, they are not selling fake items and maybe their customer service sometimes sucks, I cannot argue with that because it is subjective. But fake jersey vs authentic jerseys is an absolute clear precise thing. As much as I like to catch the fake sellers red handed in this forum or elsewhere, I hate to label/claim honest sellers because I would always encourage them and also to help others wanting to buy genuine stuff as well.

Hope you get my point and no harm intended. Cheers!

Looks legit to me

The seams are heat bonded, hence the "tape"..

You can tell it's a fake. Printed washing info says it is Made in Thailand. WTF.. hahaha..

It's not a matter of redundant or what...

From what I heard.. United decided that the club crest this time will be embroidered for their PI shirts because the PU printed club crest can be imitated easily. For the fake ones, the embroidered club crest is very hard to imitate.. you can almost get an identical design but it's almost not identical.. If it was PU material.. you can just simply scan it and print it easily with sharp and precise detail.

Nike like adidas and puma, have outsourced their production to many countries with 'cheaper' labour cost. The cost of globalization.. no longer you would see nike or adidas kits that are Made in UK or England nowadays.. There are kits that are Made in Bangladesh... Nike training kits and player shorts (PI or replica) are always Made in Thailand. So one of the keys to know if a jersey is authentic or not is to know in which the country made the replica/PI kits.. There are many tricks and skills but I don't want to discuss this openly in the public because of many people that might misuse it.


Yes Chaiyya.. hang tepat sekali. Satu skill hebat yang hang ada di bulan puasa ini hehehe.. The surroundings is so so familiar.. most likely same conman from HK.
