Hey soccer fans, this is Matt from SoccerPro.com. Today I'm
bringing a video about how to spot fake jerseys and how do not get burned
this holiday season but buying stuff that just isn't official,
licensed, or looks as nice or feels as good.
Now, right here I've got two Arsenal jerseys. Now this one right here is the
official Nike licensed Arsenal jersey
and this here is the fake jersey from a chinese company which will remain
unnamed.
Now, the first thing you're going to notice about these two shirts is one has a Nike
crest, the official one, and the other does not.
And beyond that one of the best ways to spot a fake is the coloration. Now as you
can see the real jersey has a navy collar,
the fake jersey has a white collar, which is completely wrong,
and you also see the fake shirt has this kind of tag like a t-shirt tag
and a chinese tag
where as the license Nike shirt has a Nike logo right here says Dri Fit on it
underneath there. And it's got the official motto "victoria concordia
crescit."
Now one other thing you can notice on this is the crest on the fake shirt
just doesn't look the same as the one of the real one. The letters are distorted,
its a bit off,
and that's also something that's really going to tip you off. I don't know if you
guys can see it but the material is also different. The Dri Fit has just got a real
nice feel to it, a nice soft polyester. The fake one feels almost like lacquer
paint. It's just really not a very nice shirt at all and its definitely something that
you're not going to want to give to someone as a gift this holiday season.
Now one final way to spot the difference between these two, I'm just going to get
out the sleeve of this jersey here,
is the Premier official patches or name sets. Now this is a fake
one and as you can see it's just kind of stitched on there, its like a
lacquery material again,
and down here I have the official Chelsea jersey from this season which
we have affixed an official patch to.
As you can see it's pressed on there with the heat press, not stitched.
It's a felt material when I scratch with my finger and you'll notice that the
lions there are not the same at all. And this one is just a really
inferior material, so you should be able to spot them pretty easily based on that.
Generally the best rule of thumb with this stuff for shopping online is if you see
a deal that's too good to be true, it probably is. These jerseys retail
around $85, we usually some for about 10% off so you get a
good deal with us but I got this fake Arsenal shirt for $10
and generally there's going to be no licensed soccer jersey you're going to get
for $10, even one from a previous season.
So you know, just bear those things in mind. Generally stay off of sites
like ebay when you're looking for officially licensed product
and the best rule of thumb is just to buy from an officially licensed retailer like
SoccerPro.com
to be sure that you're getting the real product from a real company with real
people who can help if you have any problems with your order.
Other than that, I hope you guys have a good holiday season and thanks so much
for watching. Don't forget to subscribe.
