yea other features of cos la...
just loosely saying that u cant tell if its ori or fake by where it says its made.
also i think the way adidas are going now...their jersey standard is going to drop down to the level of the best pirated ones in 2-3yrs time.
Agreed..
Not only because these giants (adidas and nike) are now outsourcing their manufacturing factories to other countries that includes Thailand and China.. that helps the fakers to get even better, but also.. we are seeing kits that are too generic and lacking individuality and uniqueness..
Man United kits during umbro era were unique... They were made exclusively by umbro to be different from others. Take example of the 93/95 black away kit (first ever to be made), the one with the old trafford watermark, the zipped collars and so on..... They were one of a kind.
Adidas... since the 90s were generic.. The adidas equipment kits were always the same standard template.... if it's Liverpool, Arsenal... but once in a while there was uniqueness, such as the yellow liverpool adidas third kit (1994-1996) with the nice patterns on the surface... The chequered 1995-1996 away kit was unique (no other team, except for Sabah wore that design) and so on...
This uniqueness also helps as well.... to make it hard to duplicate. Not a lot but more or less...
Gone are the days where jerseys were unique... now.. you can see so many jerseys with the same template design.. being used again and again. So lazy.
