so is it worth buying Chinese fake jerseys anymore here I have two almost
identical Manchester United jerseys one of them is real and one of them is fake
but can you tell the difference between the two then explains how to save
yourself a crapload of money by buying fake sports jerseys so as sports fans we
know that if we're to buy jerseys they're going to cost an arm and a leg
and effectively they're just glorified t-shirts so I don't understand why
they're so expensive I know teams have to make money somehow
but come on I mean look at the price of these things and yes technically I
already made a video about this like a couple of years ago and in the couple of
years since I last me that video a lot of stuff has changed quite literally
Chinese counterfeiters are getting extremely good at what they do so good
in fact but most of the time you can't actually tell the difference anymore so
let's see if you can spot the difference as I said in the intro we have two
manchester united shirts from this season one real or one fake but which
one is which let's see if you can spot the difference okay so first impressions
they look virtually identical the colors are virtually the same
the one on the left has a slightly more orangey hue and the one on the right has
a slightly more scarlet hue what if you took compare them side by side indoors
they look virtually identical the stitching is about the same for both
jerseys and if you look carefully at the crest you can see that the one on the
left has a thicker crest than the one on the right but on first impressions they
look virtually identical the sponsor logos are pretty much identical for both
the embroidery for the adidas logo well the one on the left has a thinner logo
than the one on the right and if you were to look carefully the prints the
ironed on prints that they've added to the caesars jerseys
or actually thicker on the one on the right of course a look at the material
and they're both pretty much exactly the same pattern exactly the same smell they
they look virtually identical the only other noticeable difference is that the
one on the left has a slightly thicker color and sleeves than the one on the
right but ultimately if you compare these two side-by-side there's virtually
no difference so can you actually spot the difference yourself and furthermore
can you tell which one is fake cue the Japanese music okay times up
if you said that the one on the left was fake
you'd be wrong because the one on the left is a real one and the one on the
right is a Chinese fake but here's the thing there's virtually no difference
between them anymore yes a few years ago it would have been
brutally obvious to figure out which one is a fake Jersey which one's a real one
but like I said Chinese counterfeiters are getting so good now that it's almost
impossible to tell the only real difference between them is the price and
I know which price I'd rather pay that's all well and good nin but you didn't
show us the backs of the jerseys well the backs of the shirts currently
look like this wait what the is that okay
okay let me explain why I have this abomination printed on the back of the
fake jersey the story started a few weeks ago when I watched the Manchester
United legends game and David Beckham putting on a Manchester United shirts
warm last time and it was freakin awesome I then decided to buy the shirts
and to try and have Beckham number seven printed on the back of it like you know
every other fan so I went to the United mega store and I bought the real shirt
for give 65 pounds I then took it from the mega store cashier to the mega store
printing section to have it printed with David Beckham numbers
seven on the back of its where they proceeded to tell me no what do you mean
no no we can't do it and why not apparently mr. Beckham has had his name
copyrighted now there's just two things wrong with that number one there are
companies out there that currently do that so I'm not entirely sure why
Manchester United can't do that but secondly they refuse to sell me the
lettering so that I could do it myself I don't get that I mean if people want
Beckham number seven on the back of their shirts they'll get it one way or
another whether you sell the letters or not so I'm not entirely sure why they
decided to have this stance I know from a legal standpoint this might put them
in hot water but honestly how is he ever gonna know that I have this printed at
the mega store as opposed to some other company online the reason why I have
this monstrosity printed on the back of this shirt is because this is proof
positive that you can have anything printed on the back of a shirt anywhere
in the world except Manchester United I don't understand that from a legal
standpoint yes but why would you not sell the letters keep your fans happy so
instead I have the number 7 printed on the back of it and I won't find the
letter somehow I will have his name on the back of my shirt whether you like it
or not in hindsight guys if I had known that
they would have dug their heels in and not printed the word Beckham on the back
of my shirt I just would have bought a fake one because quite frankly there's
no difference there's virtually no difference between them and the quality
of these things are so good now that you can have anything printed on the back of
a shirt and it would cost you about 1/5 possibly even less than that
fully shipped from anywhere in the world to your doorstep sewn in would you
actually recommend buying these fake shirts now yeah absolutely
ok then where right from if you do a quick Google
search Manchester United China Jersey Manchester United fake Jersey Manchester
whatever you'll be able to find companies that will literally charge you
about a fifth if not less fully customized and they will send it to your
doorstep now the places I generally go to are here but I'm sure there are many
others out there and literally they cost a fraction of what they would cost in an
authentic shop so if you're short on money ya can do and I recommend that you
do because spending full price for them to tell you no you can't have the the
name that you want on the back of your shirt is quite frankly insane but buyer
beware obviously the standards in China aren't
necessarily as good as where they are made for real and I actually bought a
similar AC Milan shirt where the badges fell off after just one wash so I'm not
saying that this is a perfect solution by all means but it's a cheaper one so
not only is this video consumer advice for all you sports fans wanting to save
a bit of money but it's also a warning shot to these football clubs who think
they can overcharge fans and then proceed to not give them what they want
and be complete dicks about it fans aren't going to stand for that and
you're gonna realize that pretty soon that no one's gonna be buying your
overpriced shirts because they'll be getting it from China at a fifth of the
price it's going to happen overall if you are a sports fan and you want to
support your team by wearing their shirt jersey etc and you don't want to pay the
extortionate prices buying them at Chinese counterfeiters it's it's a
viable option as you could tell from the test there's no real difference between
the two anymore so if I were you I'd save your money and start buying them
from China not your authentic Club store by the way if you do see me at Old
Trafford next season wearing this feel free to come up to me and say hi we'll
get a beer or something before the game or whatever and I look forward to
hearing your thoughts in the comment section below
but if you do enjoy this kind of video whereby it's a kind of a little bit more
factual as opposed to a little bit more educational let me know the comment
section below and I'll try and make more off please thank you very much for
watching and we'll see you in the next episode oh and for all you haters out
there who's just got to say things like oh you're a birthdate fern here's my
season ticket where's yours asshole
