no worries mate. one of them is actually a newer version, i think DrySphere. Man U's kit was manufactured in 2006 when Nike was still promoting DryFit, thus all kits produced by Nike then will have this 'technology'. However, by 2007, Nike launched DrySphere, of which this tech will then be incorporated in all new jerseys in 2007. Thus when Man U's 2006 kit was reproduced in 2007 (as no more stock) the new kit will have the DrySphere wording/tech.

both should be ori judging from your sources. then you'll be the envy of most Man U fans, having own 2 original home kits! and both 'versions' some more!

for ur info.. the newer Nike jersey is using NikeFit... the DrySphere is older than NikeFit la.. but for the case.. i think both are ORI la.. just.. one is the old batch and the other one is the new batch that using different technology only...

aisk! sorry sorry forgot the turutan...sorry ya!

Thanks for the clear up mate. I thought Ive been cheated or something.

my 1st ori jersey is barca 99-00...that time only form 1...borrow the money from my mother+duit raya....now i have about 5 jersey ori.....but every i want to buy it my hand are shaking...rm250 2....but it worth every cents....

if you love your club
then should support the origin jersey lah..
if u love your club+golok/siam made jersey then buy lah ciplak one.
no harm one, sir alex wont saman u one!

but true fan never buy fake! am i right? hehhhh )

not just that, but quality also better! and sizing also ngam! if cannot afford buy new one, buy off-season ones lor, cheaper and still ori....but have to scout around lah, dont tunggu2....

i prefer the original one without the player's name and number. cuz players tend to change clubs quite often.
still keep this MU silver long sleeve reversible jersey bought for 299bucks back in 2001. priceless!

At the current prices, I can only afford to buy outdated jerseys. Example, Al-Ikhsan have Arsenal's 2003 jersey on sale for RM85; the Lotto outlet in Pertama Complex was selling Juventus' Lotto jerseys (dunno which year, but very old edi) for RM90. Those are the only originals I can afford. Otherwise I'll buy AAA/AA jerseys. No choice.

dude, always got choice wan...see if you wanna 'sacrifice' or not lor....

Guys, I've problem to choose a right size, pls help. I saw ebay selling some MU home jerseys for last season, but some said US M size, some UK M size, then some said US M size = UK L size....then there is one seller told me M size but Height written 188cm on the jersey, however I saw my friend's M size written 178cm, how come so many differences on the same Nike jersey ?

wow! this one better consult resident Nike and Man U expert, schmeichel7. best thing is, ask other forummers who has the originals, and confirm once and for all the sizes for the ori kits. and then, state your size as well, so can compare easily.

i don't wear any jersey. I am waiting for my gf to buy me one. which i think will never happen.

let's hope when she finally decides to buy one, it's original and not AAA lah bro....

definitely original 1 4 me... that reli shows the spirit of supporting the team... tink it feels more comfortable and also wun feel 'malu' wanna wear it around coz fake wan sometimes de design a bit different wan... dun mind it being empty as long as it's not fake

good for you man! keep it up! what team u wear/support?

Instead of worrying about UK M size or US M size for a football jersey, just follow the guide above. There is no such thing as US Medium or UK Medium for football jerseys. Hope this clears matter.

Wao thanks schmeichel7 ! Really good reference. But it's wierd ler, the ebay shirt really printed different measurement for M size compare with my friend's jersey, and I think they both are authentic original Nike jersey.

Item 1 (Click) - Size M, Heigh 188, GB 45 - 47

Item 2 (Click) - It stated "This jersey is a UK-Medium (which appears on the jersey label) which is equivalent to a U.S. MEN'S SMALL. AGAIN, PLEASE UNDERSTAND...THE TAG ON THE JERSEY SHOWS "M" for the UK size MEDIUM, but fits more like a US Adult small. UK sizes tend to run approxiamtely one size larger than US sizes."

Item 1 CONFIRMED pirate. look also know. collar also look weird. look closely at the inside of the shirt for its measurements, GB45/47 but state size M. PIRATE lah....GB45/47 is actually XL...

Item 2 not sure yet, cos no pics of actual product. i think what he was trying to say is that UK M fits like a US S. but must confirm what is in the inside, as per explanation above....

Item 1 yes CONFIRMED 100% fake. Look at the Champions League badge. It is so POOR and looks fake:



Lextra ones (originals) are very nice and detailed. Look at the samples of original badges below:







The jersey's material also looks shiny and fake. Look at the picture which shows the sizing at the collars:



The material is shiny, the size printing is poor... The sizing info is also INCORRECT! 45/47? That's a XL size measurement! Same like the fake jersey I last time got.. Check out the link to my bad experience at my siggy below...

Pricing tag here also looks fake:


When did Nike have 'gold coloured' tags? There is no printed barcodes or Design Code number on it...

Item 2.... my bet is it is fake also. Why?

From his Feedback Profile (to view it, click the 'numbers' beside the sellers name or click the sellers name) you will see the past history of his previous sales... Funnily enough I can see only Small and Large. Small for M size where he said UK M size is more like a US small size, while UK XL size is more like a US Large size. Here is the facts... There is no such thing as that. US don't have specific measurement for soccer jerseys (basically because soccer is not that popular there).

Second fact is.... don't you wonder that grade AAA or stupid fake jerseys only come in 2 sizes only nowadays.. M and XL? Why the hell is this guy selling only UK M and XL sized jerseys? Just ignore the UK M is like a US S or whatever crap he is saying. He is selling fake jerseys and I hate fake jerseys....
