Differentiate An Original Soccer Jersey from A Fake One

Material

This is the most important difference between an original jersey and a fake jersey. If you have ever touched an original jersey, then you could feel the difference. TOUCHING IS BELIEVING. You have to feel the difference which is not an easy task for most of us

Stitching and embroidery

Surely, original jerseys are a lot better stitched than the fake ones. Also, you need to have a sharp look on the club badge and apparel badge inside and outside.

Tags

Both tags and washing instructions are poorly printed on fake jerseys. Also, you might find that Made in (country name) could be different from the collars name.

Patches

If the patches are made by lextra, then it must be smooth. Also, the detail on the patch will be in 3D. Fake jerseys do not have any film to protect the patches.

Numbering

If the numbering is done by using plastic and rubbery, then they will not be smooth like the authentic pieces.

Screen-printing

The screen-printing of size names, slogans, club names get pale after some washes if you buy a fake jersey. Sometimes, the alignment is not perfect as well.

These are factors you should consider before buying any soccer jersey. Unfortunately, today, fake jerseys are sometimes very difficult to differentiate as Thailand has been doing a great job. So, it is better to buy jersey from renowned sources like World Soccer Shop, SOCCER.COM, Adidas, Nike, Puma, etc.
