Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

mistycyclist51 said:Anyone following Atlanta United FC? 🤔

Oh, and AT&T 🤣

They are currently hunting for a new sponsor, as their contract with AIG expires in 2010 and there is no indication it will be renewed. There have already been talks involving the Tata Group—some folks from India, I believe. 😁 They are also floating names like AT&T and Prudential Financial.

As for Manchester United, I actually read somewhere that their kit will look pretty much exactly like that. 🙂

I haven't even looked at the pricing; there is nothing worth the money at those rates. 😁 I highly doubt the kit will be an exact match, though something in that general vein shouldn't be impossible.

The Tata Group is basically an Indian conglomerate, mostly known for cars and stuff... they make the smallest cars on the market 😁 but I guess they're actually pretty powerful 😁

Honestly, nobody seems to have a clear answer here. 😉 The thing is, I actually stumbled upon this info over on this thread: . And since this guy is clearly trying to hawk originals for $100, it's pretty safe to assume he's building in a decent little markup... 🤷

If you ask me, those are the guys driving the budget cars! 🙂 Sad is going to have to sell his Porsche 😁

By the way, if anyone is looking for gear, there’s a thread over on Craigslist where a guy is selling jerseys and equipment. There is actually way more available than what was mentioned in the original post, so it's definitely worth checking out the whole thread.

What's the deal with this design🤷 Is that the anti-racism jersey🤔

That jersey is fire...🙏

Swap that white field for blue and make it official...🙏

Turns out those jerseys are actually an anti-racism thing. I just realized all the big clubs are doing it now because "Say no to racism" is the big trend.

I actually dig the kits too... honestly might even grab one since they're only about 15 bucks.

Screw them, and what's up with those yellow cards?

Who gives a damn about them, that's just straight-up racism...🤣

Those numbers are yellow ☕

I’ve gotta say, that $15 price tag sounds a little suspicious to me—has anyone here actually tried ordering one of these jerseys yet?

Nah, they're gold standard.☕

Even if they were, so what? Just because they've got yellow on their backs doesn't mean they aren't elite...

Total racism...🤮

Honestly, I'm feeling the same way. There’s so much other stuff on sale right now... It’s making me want to just go ahead and order something.

For instance, check out $28—all these prices are just insane, like way below market value. Anyone else here actually dealt with them before?

I happened to stumble upon that same image myself, along with a few different versions of the Arsenal away kit. It seems entirely plausible that they’ll release something similar, given that Nike appears to be pushing this particular "V for Victory" design concept. Personally, I find it quite unsightly. 🤷 It lacks any real aesthetic appeal. 😁

The idea is that Manu has actually worn this kit since 1909, back when they won their first US Open Cup. Since we're approaching the 100th anniversary of that win and the jersey itself, it’s just a nice way to celebrate the milestone.

Pretty sure they're fakes, just look at that number... 5.70... give me a break...🤣

But hey, who cares, right? You snag them for $9.60 at General Motors and they're selling them for a hundred bucks. Everyone's winning!

So what's the move? Are we starting a business or what? Speaking of big margins, I was driving through New York City the other day and saw some black and navy FredPerry pieces for $80. Man, those are gonna fly off the shelves once half the stadium shows up... They don't even look bad from a distance, but you get close and you see it immediately...

I mean, we could actually do it. You and Edge already have a setup running anyway (Teddy and Jack LLC), so we just expand the business model...😁

Look, let's just grab some stuff ourselves first to see if it's even worth it... Honestly, who cares if the photo looks legit? It never does. I saw some Lacoste gear over in $60, and there's no way that's the real deal 😁 But man, whatever, if it works, it works! At the end of the day, we just care about what's on the label, right? It's like that time you and I were out shopping and I passed on those shirts because General Motors carries them too 🙏

The crew—Teddy and Jack dressed you up 🙏

$60😁

Basically, we're going rogue 🤣

I'll move this over to Offside later; don't want to mess up the thread here with these posts.

Total fake. I’ve got the real deal at home, and this thing is just completely 🤣

You can see that Chinese manufacturing number right on the tag and the shirt itself. Honestly, I run into cheap stuff from China all the time, and they always have those same tacky labels. It’s a pass for me—I’ll take a decent knockoff from Turkey any day since the cotton actually feels okay, but this junk from China? Just not worth the money.

Man, I gotta admit, those tanks actually look pretty sick... if they weren't green, though. Like, imagine them in blue or black instead...🙏🙏🙏

Don't just move this to Offside, just delete it... so we can actually talk about it on Offside without people acting like cowards, wondering if it's legit or not...😁

Basically, yeah, how'd you do it, Joe? Did you sell that fake stuff from Oakwood 🙏 🙏
