It feels much "better" in the sense that it's feels more "flexible" because it's thinner and the surface of the NNs is not "furry" and yes, the texture is similar to those of the sponsors printed in front of the shirt. Though, my suppliers have told me that these ps-pro though is much more technology advance, they are more prone to cracking if not taken care properly.

1) send an email to kitbag and see if they are willing to rectify which most probably requires you to bear your own cost to ship the item back to them; OR

2) send it to any local reputable store which provides NNs printings, they will rectify it for you. i believe that the peeling could be due to the heating process not done properly so another round of heat press should do the trick

IN ANY EVENT, i'm helping my friend to let go of one Arsenal Away 2013/2014 shirt, size M. He pre-ordered it at RM199 so he's not going any lower. He already absorbed the postage fees.

well, according to the press, for the NNs, they are using the same as what we have in the market for fans.

Nobody interested in getting the Away's UCL NNs?

Yes, the dark Blue ones.

why the perforated holes reduces in number significantly in comparison with the promotional pictures Nike puts up?

further, the red "Victoria Concordia Crescit" tag doesn't seem to be in the same place too.

I also bought one from Al-Ikhsan and it really looks very good. It's a little bit body hugging so it's excellent if you are wearing it out for sports, the shirt will not wave around.

Anyway, i think you better advise your friend though cause Al-Ikhsan is selling a BNWT as well but for only RM99.00. Maybe your friend want to consider reviewing the price.

machiam belanda punya away kit.

Just got my France Replica kit too =P

Surprisingly, the material isn't the same they used for the the premier league teams (ie. Arsenal Away 2013/2014). The material is not as "porous" as those, in fact, it's quite tightly knitted together. Maaaybe due to this, body heat will tend to built up but nonetheless, the material is still thin enough to feel cool running against the wind.

The material used this time also feels a little bit flexible as it can be stretch slightly, this should give you that "body hugging" apparel which really makes it feel like your second skin.

In the PI version, the cutting towards the waist is "concave" in nature whereas the replica ones has a rather normal shirt cutting.

The additional piece of cloth with white stripe and red stitches at the bottom of each side of the shirt is also absent in the replica version. I still struggle to understand the purpose of that extra piece of cloth. Visual enhancement, perhaps?

Though i must admit that Nike is a little bit lazy in designing the current France shirt but i guess credit has to be given to the texture of the material. They did make it looked like "denim" but the the rigidity of "denim" is absence. The color tone is also beautiful.

The thing that i dislike about the shirt is the seemingly large collar and also the "Cock". I do think that the shirt will look better with the current badge instead of opting for the retro "Cock" they used to have.

There are 2 buttons on the shirt. a white one which is located on the collar and the blue one along the placket but Nike only supplied an additional blue button but not a white one so one must be very careful with the white button but probably the white one is very common and can be found anywhere. If you see clearly the blue button, it's not just a plain blue button, it's iridescent in nature.

I still think the best France shirt Nike has ever designed for France is their Away 2012/2013.

FUH! Hardcore les Bleus supporter

I have not really measured the length of the current France Home shirt with the previous one but i have the Arsenal's Home 2012/2014 Home shirt and the length of the shirt is also rather "lengthy". Probably, this is the current market style?

The Away shirt that i am referring to is this white colored one. I am a sucker for white colored kits anyway =P


The baby blue away shirt (2013/2014) is also very cool looking (due to its interesting color) but the reason why it appealed to me less is probably because it sorta reminds me of a modified 2012/2013 away shirt. One of the main reason why i prefer the 2012/2013 away shirt is because of its sleeves, Nike actually incorporate the design from the last away shirt into the current one. It's like paying a tribute.

yes o.<b

I used to hung them in my closet but i realized if they were hung for a long period of time (which is likely the case as i don't wear them very often) then the shoulder area of the jersey where it is rested against the hanger will get imprinted with the hanger's frame. I doubt it will cause any damage to the jersey but i dislike seeing it so now i fold all my jerseys and stack them up on each other.

It's rather hard to tell from the pictures alone, even if we see it personally taking into consideration the quality and accuracy that fakes can have nowadays. There is no 100% fool proof way to determine.

The only source in which you can utilize to confirm if the shirt is an original is by way of the shirt tag that comes with it. If it's original, the bar code number on the shirt tag should match the number found within the tag on the inside of the bottom right side of the shirt.

Please update cause I'm curious to know if it's an original cause most of Nike's PI issue had their seams heat bonded instead sewed.

How much you bought it for anyway and it seems worn out.

By authentic you mean, the player issue or replica? Yes, the material is very comfortable to be worn and i really like the color of the shirt however i think that the collar is a wee bit too big. I really prefer the collar type which was used for the last year's shirt. It's less rigid and the size is just right.

I doubt Nike would release a new Away shirt in time for World Cup next year since the current Away shirt was released about March this year.

Without the tag, there's really no guarantee that the shirt can be genuine. Whatever it is, since you have bought it then i guess you have just got to believed that you got what you bargained for. No point losing sleep over it but RM500.00 for a worn out previous season shirt is a pretty hefty price, i would say.

The player issue for current season's premier league clubs don't even costs that much.

Ah, talking about the Brazil black 3rd kit. Is it the one where the Brazil Football club crest is heat pressed on the sleeves of the shirt instead of the front chest area? I think i saw that somewhere before and i thought, for a fake, that is a very good looking shirt

After taking into consideration what chaiyya 345 said, Nike is most definitely be releasing a new away kit for France since like what chaiyya345 said, the difference in the badges.

What do you mean "items on outlet"?

Kitbag's current policy is free standard delivery for any orders above 50GBP. So far, there's nothing to implicate that this policy is changing anytime soon but the thing is this, free standard delivery means no tracking number. My advice is since you are spending 50GBP on orders, it'd be best to top up and get a tracking number.

any particular reason why you want to purchase a used jersey when some suppliers are still carrying your size?

anybody heard the rumors for the France away kit which Nike will be revealing soon just in time for France's world cup campaign?

Hear say it will be an inverted version of the Home Kit (ie. another white away kit)

I think that PUMA haven't really gave much thought in designing their first shirt for Arsenal especially when it's home and it tends to last for 2 seasons.

With the home shirt design this way, i am not really anticipating its away.

if you are fine with online purchases, 442kit.com, protechkitzone still have your size. the last time i checked was last week. go check them out and don't worry, they are verified sellers.

your vendor is right on the NNs material, the new material is called "PS-pro" or something like that. they look better but harder to take care in the long run as they are prone to cracks compared to the previous material.

your champion patch was most probably last year's stock.

Erm, not to break your heart but:-
1) the selling price is the same as other Vendors who are selling fake jerseys;
2) the sentence "Klik store kami untuk jersey wholesales world cup yg lain" really doesn't sound right; and
3) says pre-owned by the shirt tag is still on?

Did you ask him what is his reason for selling?

For a current version jersey, RM90.00 is way to low to be original.

Yeap, unlike the olden days, you'll be surprised on the quality of the fake jerseys nowadays. You won't be able to notice the difference unless you really pay attention to the small details of the jersey. I saw a vendor carrying fake Arsenal sometime ago and no matter in terms of quality, it feels exactly like the replica you find in Nike Stores however the Arsenal badge is a give away.

The fake jersey is a little heavier and feels more "cotton" than the replica one.

I also bought the current France world cup jersey for about RM200.00+ when it was released earlier of last month and then only to find roughly 3 weeks later, some vendor carrying the same fake would look and feel exactly like the replica less than half of the price !

I don't think a vendor would sell replica and fake jerseys together. Oh well, just be careful to buy from vendors who seemed dodgy.
