I guess both also is easy to imitate.. It takes for someone who has owned it to know whether it's fake or ori.. Ori heat transferred has a brighter colour on em
It's a matter of time before the printed washtag will be imitated too.. Then, it's all about identifying the right material
What i'm tryin to say is.. The PI with heat transferred logo is much nicer to wear.. Lighter on the chest and no distraction, as its original intention
The embroidered ones are harder to 100% imitate like the PU.
The PU ones are generated by computer. You can simply get the 100% exact image in AI format from internet and then just simply print it and you get the same exact design. The difference might be minimal in terms of design and material quality.
For the embroidered one, it is almost hard to 100% imitate. Because the stitching machine needs an image file and then they stitch it based on the design but they don't really get it 100% accurate. I have never seen a fake jersey with a embroidered club crest that is 100% the same like the authentic one. Even up to today's jersey, the fake ones have poor or slightly poor embroidered club crest no matter how good they are made.
Besides, the club crest actually is stitched somewhere elsewhere in a country nobody knows. They are then shipped to factories that produces Man United jerseys and shorts (jerseys are made in Indonesia, shorts and training gears are made in Thailand). It started back in 2007, which is why the 2007-2009 home jersey has the odd looking crest. This is for safety and security of authenticity reasons to ensure the crest is not duplicated easily.
