- Official soccer fan jerseys are the best way to rep your favorite team or player. We carry hundreds of official club and national team jerseys and often are asked about the differences between the "authentic" and "replica" versions.
Which is legit? Why does one cost more than the other? Which would fit me best?
The technologies used and the terminology varies from brand, so we’ve put together this guide detailing the differences between authentic and replica jerseys for adidas, Nike and PUMA.

I find it fascinating how jerseys are so mad expensive especially in the U.S, when I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t cost a third of that money to make them.
I have the same fascination with hockey jerseys lol
@@shawklan27 now our days you have to pay a subscription fee to watch some of your favorite teams play, it’s ridiculous. Broadcasting companies are ruining sports
@@mxm7891 indeed that shit is happening with the la liga in prime video and I find it ridiculous
They cost 1 dollar to make, and they sell for 90 dollar
I bought a real madrid authentic version with both jersey and shorts(Thailand made) just only 15$ . I don’t know what those 100$ jerseys feels like but what i have with 15$ is pretty authentic to me
I want to see the difference in quality between the jerseys made in different brands like nike, Adidas, Kappa and such
Yeah same same,I want to know witch player version keeps you cool better
@@randyangel9412 Adidas overall is the one which keeps you cool better. The fit overall is a bit more relaxed and the wicking and weaving method using is pretty loose throughout the whole garment so the air will breathe through more effectively.
Nike's Vapor knit technology requires a size up to have the same level of comfort as your TTS fan version (can we stop saying replica FFS). The ventilation in the new-gen Vapor has improved but if you have a fully sublimated shirt (3 or more colours) then the material used doesn't breathe as well.
Puma, Shincool technology used, predominately at the rear panel, it's a finely woven mesh material which works well but the namesets also block a fair bit of that. The laser cut holes at the shoulder and neck are basically aesthetic purpose only and the front panels where by are a high-quality material, don't breathe as well as the other 2.
I hope that explains a little for you.
@@RiKFSC so for Nike if im a small I should get a medium and you say color effect the breath ability?
@@randyangel9412 you should definitely size up on the Nike Vapor. The colour itself doesn't affect it, it's the material used. If you had say a Liverpool home top, it's a pre dyed material, and in most cases not printed over the top. it's also softer and therefore breathes better.
The material used for prints for full sublimation (you'll see it be white on the inside) is a little harsher and therefore to accept the print on the material has to be a little tougher. You'll notice it straight away if you wear one then the other. I know it's a little hard to explain in words without pictures but you'll get what I mean.
I talk a lot about this on my twitter and insta @rikfsc
@@RiKFSC ok cool
That jersey switching edit is lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I always found it fascinating that soccer (world football) is the only sport that I know of where the logos and sponsors are all ironed onto the jersey all american sports use stitched jerseys as the "offical" or "authentic" while the replicas use heat applied logos and numbers
@Denver J yeah it just depends
Its a recent change between the last 2-3 years. Use to be they were all "player issued" shirts at replica price
In american football you wearing gear and tons of layring fabric before you put on the jersey. While in soccer it's bare skin that is in contact with the kit all the time.
Would be nice if they have one that's all embroidered for logos, badges, and numbers/names so you can just throw it in the laundry and not worry about it.
Are you wearing the same size in both the Replica and Authentic kit? Or did you size up on the Authentic version? Also is an update video coming out for the 21/22 kits?
Thank you so much. Good video! 👍🏻
It would be interesting to watch a video comparing the different types of technologies used by the brands on their jerseys? Which one is better?
The player versions still is a step below what the players actually wear. If you get a player jersey after a game you will see more differences with the real player version going even further to reduce weight
Yes, for example the match worn nike aerosifts are tighter than the vapor aerosiwft from the nike stores.
Agree. But for each and individual player, his jersey is custom made for his favorite. For example, Messi likes a loosen jersey, unlike other players seen in tight fit ones.
That’s more likely to just be due to it being a custom fit.
Well.name stitching and some player requets for tailored fit or certain embrodery its same
Official is definitely better,but replica is useful enough sometimes,especially you wanna save the balance to do the other things.
I was waiting for this video thank you so much
Glad to be of service!
this really helped thanks
What about sizing? Authentics fit tighter. Replica loose.
What’s the length of the Real Adidas one like in both versions?
The authentic one seems to be unnecessarily long in comparison to the replica.
Wouldn’t it make sense to call them Player and Fan version? When describing the difference between Authentic and Replica those are the terms always used! Haha imagine spending billions on marketing and yet your customers can’t tell which is real or not.
True true because different brands name them different,like for Nike they just use Dri fit and Vapornit
Their goal is to make more money and selling the “authentic” player version brings them more 💰
For the authentic does the crest usually come off if in the dryer machine?
attempting to locate a jersey, which only shows the team name, is there a team jersey produced without the commercial advertisement?
You always fail to point out the difference in sizing between the two variations with regards to your models' height and weight which i think is the most essential point of these reviews.
What ist whit the brends that only have one jersey tippe (macron) Have this jerseys some difertis in Player and shirt s you can buy in the Fanshops
Is it better to fold or hang authentic jerseys? I wouldn’t use a wire hanger, but what about a wooden hanger?
Nice content man! Appreciate an american who loves football (soccer)...
Just call it soccer. If you’re American it is understandable to call it soccer.
@@adagioelegy1949: Sorry man, I’m not an american…so I call it football as a respect to the real name of the sport……I mentioned “football (soccer)”was as a respect to american football… 😇 Cheers
@@andrikristianto2577 ohhhh i thought you said you were an American. my bad
@@adagioelegy1949: totally understood, Man.. Cheers 😇
in Bangladesh , People know it as Player version and Fan edition
Can you show where they were manufacture
y the prizes higher on this site compared to the clubs officall store
Too bad that a lot of jerseys have region restrictions , and Nike loves to make more limited runs :((
One doubt.
In authentic version can we feel the logo by touching it.? Is there anything like sticker or something.?
Are the badges stickers? Cause I don’t want a sticker that comes off
i usually wear a 2x shirt and i want to get an authentic jersey but don’t know if the 3x will fit….
Why Adidas (Real Madrid) have 4/6/8 sizing numbers instead of S, M or L?
Can someone tell me which shirt is more compatible with washing?
I love this video 📹
If buy for collection, which will be a better choice?
Does authentic version with heated logo will be less durable?
Yes heat pressed logo's are less durable than the embroidered logo
@@nneckmn5603 yeah 100% mine ripped off after some time unfortunately
@@abdoarahmangubran1679 Did you wash it right and air dried it? If you did it in a wrong way it will obviously fall off
@@abdoarahmangubran1679 which brand was it
What about Jordan psg jerseys ?
You are really good
My real madrid 20/21 home collar is lose .. How to fix?
Y’all gotta add Sandro Tonali 😡😡 i want his but I can’t find it anywhere for USA
Go to @kitlocker98 or @kit supplier on Instagram. Sell any kit for £30
Can you wear a replica t-shirt on the training pitch?
You can wear anything you like
Which one is lasting embroidery logos or heat applied logos?
Embroidery lasts longer
Hi Adam so from this case I need some advice, If I normally ware nike replica version soccer jersey L size, in case if I would like to buy a player issue (vaporknit) then I need to buy L or need to go up to XL? Thanks for answer
Apparently you need to go a size up only if you want it to fit like the replica version but if you get the L I’ll be tight idk lol
@@footballkm4631 exactly. It’ll fit tight but that’s not a bad thing if you’re fit.
Have not play football since 6 years but do they really charge 90$/€ for a jersey nowadays? Absolutley ridiculous!😳
so if it has the authentic badge
is it always the jersey the players use ?
or can they be authentic replicas as well?
it’s kind of confusing
how do i know if a replica is authentic?
Replica is the cheaper version designed for us, the fans. Authentic versions, are ALMOST the exact same as the ones players use on the field. Even though the authentic player versions are deemed authentic, I’m pretty sure the ones the players use on the pitch are still a little different than the ones they sell.
@@allah2670 exactly i feel like if you’re tryna wear the jersey just for everyday stuff like going out wearing it with jeans etc then replica is better but if you want it to play football etc then maybe authentic is for hig
Pooma😂....we say it differently in the UK but I like how you say its 😎
Do u still buy the same size or do you size up for authentic ones??
I go a size up with Nike lately, meaning I have medium with Adidas and Large with Nike.
Authetnics are a little bit more snug.
@@dnullm just a question
You chose a size up only with nike for the authentic version? So for Adidas soccer jersey you have the same size from replica to authentic?
Like you I have to size up with nike but I haven't any Adidas authentic jersey only a Real Madrid replica
Thank you
Wait.. you didn't say how to verify that the jerseys are original
If they have a thing on the bottom then yeah
If logos are printed authentic if knitted replicas
Does player versions club badge come off with time?
If you use it frequently, yes it might come off. There is no stitching on Player Version simply because it has to do with the weight of material.
Are all jerseys real? Just curious as I saw a replica jersey for only $20.
Usually those are remakes by factories. For say. It’s not from the actual brands. But it’s from fake companies.
Many jersey fakers also use the term "replica" for their fakes
release more old season jerseys
Can you play In replica without damaging it?
This video did not help me choose if I want the replica or authentic. If the jerseys were free which one will you all take???
I never understood how some Authentic Jerseys have the Heat applied logos ik they Make so it can be lighter but it Sort of give a Cheap Feeling, as for the Stitched logos that are Replicas makes it feel like they actually took there time making the Jersey
I see your point
agreed. they could learn from mitchell & ness authentic nba jerseys. where their authentic jerseys everything is sewn on w details. while their swingman(replica) jerseys are heat pressed. i prefer sewn on crests on futbol kits bc they feel much better and more durable
Just bought a replica of the Third Chivas Kit 2021 and I'm loving it
@Denver J where do you buy them
Where can I buy just the name and numbers to put on my jerseys
Depending on the team you like, try to see if they have an official store. Or try Fanatics.com as they are the big brand for most, if not all jerseys.
@@allah2670 yeah I just got Liverpool jerseys for like $20 but they don’t have names
Note
In that madrid shirt he looks like Tony Kroos
How do I know this website is legit?
So the authentic jerseys have ironed on badges to reduce weight wtf how is that gonna really affect performance?
in malaysia they call authentic as player issue
Hey orang Malaysia
I think because that’s the type of jersey the actual players wear
@@d.s5508 yess
I am coming from the past and the prices and design of the current seasons tshirts are a waste of money.
are replica Jersey have a tag code like original?
Yes
They take way to long to bring the jerseys
Remember when there was only the "on field" version and they were all "replica" price ? wtf happened
Actually that never happened, since the 90's and 80's there were always player versions that were NOT SOLD on stores. Only the replica or fan versions were selled for public. Since 2000 and later they started to sell the player versions also.
I hate heat press Liverpool logo. The embroidered one gives a much better feel. And believe me, it doesn't weigh that much. Many players even wear spandex underneath a jersey during a match. These days when a player scores a goal, he will rub and kiss the logo. I think they would prefer to kiss a sewn logo rather than a plastic one. And after a certain period of time (maybe 5-6 years) a plastic logo might be worn out or even peeled off.
How do you wash an authentic kit without ruining it
You can hand wash it
Read the tag on the inside, it usually tells you the best way
Flip it inside out and hand wash it. Try to not put it through the dryer and find a place to air dry it. As long as you’re not sweating in it or smell bad, you won’t have to wash it that often.
I just bought a Barcelona jersey, I just found out that it was a replica. Is that bad?
No that just means you have the “fan” or supporter version. It’s official and manufactured by the brand and or club.
iu al Suk Ok thanks
@@daducknfrog6673 can you play in the fan version or is it not designed for training
@@guido2541 Of course, but the Authentic one is apparantly better for it, but Im certain you can't feel a difference.
@@guido2541 u probably won’t feel a difference
Where are the authentic jerseys made?
I have one authentic from Liverpool which is made in Indonesia
I have a Mexico one made from Thailand
Hi. I'm karl from Philippines. Do you sell jersey? I am new to your channel.
They do on their website
hello im from the philippines too. i know an online shop that sells authentic/player version kits!
@@samanthakieran9225 Hi. Do you have a facebook account so I can reach you. Thanks.
@@karlxxzc facebook.com/Futbolero.ph/ this is their fb link. you may reach them through instagram for faster communication 😊
@@samanthakieran9225 yeah futboler ph. Nakaka limang jersey na ko jan hehe
Is replica and fake the same?
Not the same. Replica and authentic are OFFICIAL LICENSED PRODUCTS, original products. But most people use the term replica to reffer to the FAKES.
All I know is that replicas don't have the badges for a specific event and mostly don't have the brands on the forearm on the shirts
Where's Watford?
Authentic= tight
Replica= loose there
tf YOU SEE THE PRICE
So you pay loads of cash (even the old prices of around 60 euro's were bongus) and you still only get a "replica". That's insane! There are really good fake jerseys or actual "replicas" you can buy for around 10 bucks. Paying 90 euros for a mere replica is just not ok.
How tf do you do this whole video and not talk about the size differences....
Urghhhh when Americans say ‘preh-meer-urgh league’ rather than ‘prem-ear league’ is really annoying’ 😪 you don’t see me calling the NY Yankees the ‘New York Yahn-keys’
Adam🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏
Authentic ones aren't a wonderful fit
(R u American?
I have plenty of jerseys with patches and embroideries that also have an "Authentic" Patch. So this video doesn't add up. Also jump cutting like a tik tok girl for top changes is pretty dumb. Be original!
man said PL champions bruh 🤣
👕👕👕
Imagine calling it soccer
we buy replica for just 2 dollars !!!!!!!
hmmm i can clearly see that she is wearing her sports bra inside.....hmmm hmmm i love it
Wtf
The jerseys I bought at ccsport24 are of good quality
