Continued..

Let's see the new away jersey:


By the way, it also has the same tag on the side (the one that says "THE THEATRE OF DREAMS SINCE 1910") just like the new home jersey..

To be continued..

Continued..

Next is the new away shorts:


Still concerned with the blue colour?


It looks ok to me...

Finally the new away socks:


So again.. how does jerseyman feel about the new away kit?


Of course jerseyman loves it...

This jersey has a different touch to it (black with blue).. So similar to the 93-95 kungfu away kit.. but it was black, blue and yellow.... I know you guys complain that it is identical to the home jersey.. A bit bummer on that, and also initially it was a nightmare to see the initial sneak peek photos showing that the blue was similar to Man City's sky blue.. But jerseyman had a theory on this...

Remember that the jersey was being sold 'temporarily' earlier than the launching date.. Then suddenly it disappears from the store? I suspect that nike might called off the away kits and did some touch up to change the blue colour.. But it's just a funny guess.. Maybe the blue was still the same as it's original design and that the original leaked photos gave a different story and was a bit deceiving... Nevermind.

Hope this relieves the United jersey collectors..

Overall.. to summarize up things.. here's jerseyman ratings about the kit:

The away shirt:
Design: 3 out of 5 (just like the home kit.. nothing different)
Material: 4 out of 5 (comfy and similar like the home)
Cutting: 5 out of 5 (great cutting.. the sleeves were claimed to be different than the home but no complains here)
Comfortness: 4 out of 5 (round collars could take some toll to your neck, especially if your neck is huge)
Overall: 4 out of 5

The away shorts: 4.5 out of 5 (just like the home shorts, love the extra titsy bitsy details)

The away socks: 4 out of 5 (again, like the home socks but jerseyman would prefer if the V was on the front instead on the back)

Mate, the suggestion on how to remedy it was discussed previously.

You can check it out, click here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/933093/+783#

You wished. Hahaha...

Yeah, thanks for highlighting it..

I suspect that the first batch of production for the 2007/2009 home kit had this... My first ever purchase for the 2007/2009 home kit too had the same problem.

To ensure it doesn't peel off, always try to flip your jersey inside out (terbalikkan dulu baju) and then iron beneath the white stripe.

Thanks mate.

Thanks.. That's my point for this review. Don't worry about the blue colour used for the away kit.

Kitbag/United Direct.

You can try colour it back using black market.. but BE CAREFUL.. not to stain the jersey. I won't be held responsible if anything goes wrong.

Yeah Eric.. I know that. Besides that Nike is so lazy, not only in designing jerseys but also in using past season photos to be used to display the new kit (by using photoshop or any graphic tool software).. You can see for yourself during the launching of the new home kit, they took photos from last season, did some touch up and make it look like the new home kit. So in that process it could deceive our eyes for the away and also maybe the photos had bad contrast or brightness....

I was just trying to make myself happy with Nike.. hahaha... I would doubt they do that.

Yeah.. that's why. If I was you I would just let it be with the fading on the sharp's outline

No. There are no NNs or patches applied.

Reason is because they will be replica typed namesets (plastic ones) and smaller EPL patches if it was pre-applied there. Besides, I would PREFER to do the printing myself at home.

You've already joined my-fjc right? Go and check it there. The answers are already there

On a side note...

I'm actually hoping to see more jerseys from other teams (other than United) being talked in this thread...

I don't know.. it's maybe me but it seems that it's only about Man United... Would love to see jerseys from other teams being discussed as well.... oh well...

Are there any washing tags inside the jersey? Or there's no washing tags but the washing info is printed inside the jersey?

Blame it on nike, because it seems that for this season's kit.. most teams have that kind of cuffs at the sleeves.

But I have to admit, the away and third kit is a beauty.

So next time during LYN Futsal, lets all wait and see if Arshavin here wears his Arshavin 23 jersey during futsal.. haha

No.. It's 10 ringgit only..

Mind to share with us the ebay seller's sales page?

Wahhh.. from one photo only ah.. very hard to tell.. blurry some more..

Please ask the seller to take more photos including some closeups to the club crest and washing tags inside the jersey....

From my initial view, it looks authentic.. but XL size is a bit risky...


Wah.. who is your friend? May I know who?

Ask him to join la.. maybe I can learn a thing or two from him...

Because in the past.. all the fakes are in XL size. Only 2 years back... there were M sized fake jerseys and last season, there were M,L,XL.. getting scarier

No lah.. of course not.. The nike boutique shops are selling authentic ones..

All the jerseys sold at al-ikhsan are authentic..

I've met with the marketing manager from nike sales sdn bhd (the office at the curve) and he has personally spoken to me that they supply the jerseys to al-ikhsan.

Other stores such as from Real One (highly recommended) are also selling authentic jerseys. Do not worry about the authenticity.

Check the first page of this thread, I've already listed the recommended local stores that you guys can drop by and buy authentic jerseys.

Yup. Not only that, the surface of the jersey is also wrong.. the front layer is bricklayered like last season's away/third...

No lah.. your friend is incorrect.. You can see my signature below and know that I buy jerseys there as well so I know..

Would love to meet the person in real life... hihi

Sorry, missed out on your question here.

Yes, I did it before.. because the item didn't arrive to my house.

What I did was, I raised a dispute at Paypal's Resolution Center. Later they investigated, the final results favoured to me and I was refunded.

Not only that.. the longer you keep your jersey sweaty and stained, the worse the dirty stains will become..

Try to keep them as fresh and clean as possible..


Why want to sell that jersey bro.. That one is super rare... rugi lah..

All the best

If it's a fake, then paypal normally won't back you up easily.

Report to police might help...... might....... I doubt they will take it seriously.

Another thing you could do is embarrass the seller who scammed you in a kind way. How? See my signature below.. I pasted a link to a story of an ebay seller who scammed me.. The link is HERE

I prefer liquid detergent.. smells better and is easier to use.. The powder one, sometimes if you don't wash it properly, there might be leftovers and might make your jersey messy. Jerseyman highly recommends liquid detergent and jerseyman uses Breeze because the liquid is thick and smells good.

Hahaha.. so familiar the statement..


Thanks mate.. this is a good tip for those who keep their jerseys in their cupboard or closet.
