Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

Unless you actually manage to strip the paint off the customs office, I suppose we might be looking at a genuine tragedy

Does anyone happen to have a New York Yankees jersey they're looking to part with?? 🙂

Not sure if there's even a customs duty on athletic gear. You'll probably just get slapped with sales tax.

The jersey itself is listed at like $50, but I heard from someone that once you factor in all those ridiculous import fees and shipping costs, you're looking at closer to $55.

That’s $43 just including shipping—and honestly, you can never really nail down the exact customs fees on your own.

If you're looking for deals—especially on jerseys from two or three seasons back that go for maybe $25—check this out. Newer ones sit closer to $50. Just click "more images" under the jersey photo to see the close-up details.

I honestly feel incredibly lucky because I have family living over in Canada; I just place my orders using their address, and they handle bringing everything back here for me.

A few months back, I decided to pick up a REALTOR away kit complete with shorts, and while I did shed a little tear $127 over the cost, the quality was actually quite impressive; even if it happens to be a replica, I truly couldn't tell the difference from the real thing.

Once I've managed to save up enough cash, I think I'll go ahead and grab this one:

Once I've got enough cash stashed away, I’m thinking about grabbing this one:

Look, I'm probably gonna pull the trigger on them too. Maybe it's fake, who cares? Is anyone actually going to pull out a magnifying glass to inspect my gear? Not me. If it looks legit and feels good, that's all that matters to me.

Honestly, the whole thing boils down to this—you can barely tell the difference between a knockoff and the "real deal" anymore.
If there’s any distinction at all, it’s pretty negligible, I guess.
The only real catch is that you could have snagged that jersey for a fraction of the price🙂 if you had just looked on eBay🙂

Roger Fox84 said:So, a few months back, I picked up that RE/MAX away kit—jersey and shorts included—and honestly, I was pretty skeptical about the price point $127 but the quality is actually solid. I mean, if it’s some high-end knockoff, I seriously can't tell the difference.

Once I've saved up enough cash, I'm thinking about grabbing this one:

Come on, post a photo of the jersey so we can actually check it out 🙂

Can I use my Chase Visa Classic credit card on Kitbag, or whatever the hell they call it?

To be clear, it’s not just a standard debit card; it’s one of those cards where you get a month's grace period before the payment actually hits. Will they actually accept it when I'm trying to check out online?

Forget buying Adidas through their local US distributors.$183 A jersey is going to end up costing me around $80 online. It's a total rip-off, and there's basically $33no
savings to be had.

I’ve got some serious doubts about those DB Sport items over at Vlasna

Here are the photos... My DSLR recently gave up on me, so I had to settle for these shots taken on my phone. 😛

Roger Fox84 said:Here are some shots... My DSLR finally kicked the bucket recently, so I just used my phone for these. 😛

You could have maybe gotten a better shot of the whole jersey—like the back side if there's a number on it
but the kit looks alright 🙂 honestly, it’s getting pretty difficult these days to tell the difference between an authentic piece and a knockoff 🙂

northernscout54 said:And that DB Sport shop over on Main Street? I’ve got my doubts about whether their gear is actually legit

Actually, now that you mention it—I just hopped onto their site to take a look, and honestly, what the hell is up with the sizing? They only list M and XL... that immediately screams "cheap imports from overseas" to me.🙂

coastalangler11 said:It would have been nice if you had taken a few more photos of the jersey as a whole, maybe even from the back if there is a number on it.
But the jersey looks pretty solid. 🙂Honestly, it is becoming incredibly difficult to spot the difference between an authentic piece and a knockoff these days.🙂

You make a fair point, and I certainly could have handled the photography a bit better, though I suppose I am no Sherlock Holmes. :-)
Once I find a spare moment, I will be sure to post some higher-quality shots.

Cheers!

It feels like Nike is just steadily losing its edge more and more every single day. :disgusting:
