- Fake Football Shirts 👉🏽 in 2024 they're everywhere... Sites like DH Gate are becoming increasingly popular due to the official jerseys selling for a substantial amount ⚽️ Not everyone can afford "the real deal" especially working class parents who've been battling their way through a cost of living crisis. BUT... there is a catch. When you buy a fake football shirt, you don't REALLY know where that money is going. In the past we've made a few light-hearted football shirt reviews when they've just arrived in the post... Controversial issues aside, do these copies REALLY hold up against the real thing⁉️ Without getting deep into the political side, we discuss the truth with regards to quality, compared to authentic shirts and their inability to last over time...

Charging £85-£110 is just ridiculous. Unfortunately we live in a corporate greed world right now. These clubs only got their self to blame. Same with sky sports. These fake shirts are getting so good it’s becoming a no brainer. Bargain!
Just got the 99/00 Newcastle away shirt. Their advertising picture does the actual thing no justice. Absolute beaut of a shirt.
I just got the Y-3 Madrid jersey for like 22 bucks shipped. Looks exactly like my purple one down to the patch and hem 🤣😅
@goodiesify can you recommend a decent company to buy from? Tried looking for Ry’s suggestion but can not find them. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Also clubs release 3, 4 shirts in a season. And we all want to have it. In the old days it was normal to have 2 seasons in the exact same kits
The simple answer is to buy the official stuff towards the end of the season. It’s just everyone wants everything now. I bought my clubs authentic (players) shirt- was £100 now £45. Just waited a few months
Those kids work in sweat shops clearly need the money, I’d say it’s immoral not to buy off dh gate
Love your positive twist:)
I couldn't even draw a football shirt at their age. Absolute craftsmanship, could teach British kids a thing or two.
All the other companies are also using sweatshops, you’re just avoiding paying the other fees that come with marketing and distributing jerseys.
yeah but the quality just isn't there. (adidas is slipping though)
Honestly, even as a retro shirt collector more regular people are heading to DH Gate, most of it you really cannot tell the difference at all and that’s why people go for it. The sizing yes can be a size down but for people that just want the nostalgia there really isn’t an issue
Yup, it's hard to find an affordable retro in good condition. Might as well get a fake, than a rerelease with no sponsor or branding, or some overpriced real shirt that I'd hate to ruin.
I rather buy perfect retro on dhgate than be scammed for 200 euros because someone is claiming it is " matchworn"
I’m a regular size L it fits me a little loose nothing crazy , would you recommend an xl ? , or is it not that crazy of a difference for the size down
@@Requiem0139 yea get the next size up
the only difference is just the inner tags, literally the things you don't really care to show, until it comes the time to show it's actually a legit JSY .
i only support the official sweatshops
😅👍🏾
Exactly
Put them inside out and no higher than 40 degrees and they are fine
Been buying fakes for about 15 years and always just washed them cold and never tumble dry. Never had any issues personally. Bought a genuine NBA Nike basketball shirt and the printing came off after one wash.
Did you use napalm instead of washing powder/gel? Also, what jerseys are you buying, that's official yet poor printing? If you've bought a replica then more fool you. Even a swingman jersey won't "wash off".
@@keyser_söze23 that's where you're wrong, Google Nike jerseys lettering coming off. With the first year of Nike the lettering was coming off and yes it was a swingman. They were transfer letting not sublimated so there is always a possibility they can come off. Also the authentic player issues had quality issues. I have been buying NBA jerseys for 30 years as a collector so if you swing at the king you better make sure you don't miss fella as I know a lot more about NBA jerseys than you can imagine.
@@keyser_söze23 i replied to your nonsense previously but it seems it got deleted. Google NIKE NBA jerseys printing coming off from their first year of their NBA contract. There were numerous quality issues from swingmans to game worn authentic jerseys. The lettering was heat pressed and not sublimated so understandable why this may come off in washing. I have been a collector of NBA jerseys for 30 years so I know a thing or two about them. Thanks
Same here with my napoli shirts. The fakes are fine. Nobody wil come to me and say they are fake cause they look original. I got a Chinese supplier on whatsapp. 15 days after paying with paypal and i have them home.
All my real Barnsley shirts end up destroyed after so many washes. No shirt real or fake is immune to the washer 😂
Women + washing machine = ta da shirt 😅
@@RysFootyParadise 😂😂😂 absolutely
Gotta be hand washed
Elke: 😂"If players-women have to wash their mens kits the quality of both, Kits and players ❤ would be much better!"😂lol😊 ... thank you again for your nice and honestly post!😊 😂❤ and thanks 'Wolfgang' for the preview😅😊
What setting do you use? I've never had a single shirt mess up on me. All washed at 40 degrees or lower.
What I do which has let my fake and real shirts stay lovely for ages is to turn them inside out and wash them inside a pillow case at 30 wash. None of them peel or stick or anything. Then hang dry
In Canada an authentic jersey is 240cad plus tax, and that's without name or logo. JJsport delivered "the same" to my door for $28 CAD tax in, and with good care I've worn it at least 30 times, and hand washed 10 times. Still looks great, and I get a ton of compliments. I've now bought about 10 jerseys, and only 1 has had anything fall apart, that's a heat ready patch on my latest white 3rd kit.
Cheers for the video, love how you're progressing the channel
240 cad!? I see em for 120 or 140.
Still a scam though. International is raiser but the real one feels better
Get em on sale
@@Matanumi I'm talking about the player version, that's what I buy from the fake sites. Jersey with name number and patches is around $28 delivered. Same is $243 on the fanatics site, and that's without name and stuff, or tax.
@@MarcusStephenson1970 bro which site do you use and how do you know it is good or not?
Made the mistake of washing them like a normal shirt and got destroyed. Learned that a 20oC wash with no spin is top notch, had some for about 2/3 years now and still going strong
Inside a pillow case or handwashing them they last for a long time.
@@garethparry6673handwashing is a good solution?
No dryer for me (its dryfit) works fine
It’s sickening how close to the real thing the fakes are. Right down to the smallest detail. That says more about about the low quality of the real article than the fakes
I wash all my shirts by hand. Put warm water in the bath with some detergent and Chuck your shirts in there for 30 minutes or so. They’ll stay pristine for years.
Absolutely agree!
All my DH Gate shirts I don't wear long enough to require washing
Ive got loads of fake football shirts. The best thing I have gotten was a Manchester United 07/08 kit. The texture of the kit itself and how it feels to wear is amazing, Its withstood quite a few washes, and still great
I’ve been buying off DHGATE for years and first few that I got had name and numbers but I realised everytime I washed them they peel off.
But if you just get a top with no name and number and turn it inside out when you put it in the wash they last ages.
P.S International kits with no name numb or sponsor are the best for wash.
Just watched the rest of the video and he basically says what I said.
Player and fan are two important points. Buy a size up in player, same size in fan.
If you buy a 90s shirt they are roomy because they were back then.
So size up for retro shirts or not? Because I want that baggy look yk
@@oogie493 I'd two size up on a modern shirt. Especially if it's a "player" shirt. 90s shirts can be same size or one up. As they were baggy back then.
Never bought a fake shirt so can’t speak for them, but pretty much all of my shirts are printed. I wash them all in the washing machine and have never had any issue. Wash them on low heat (30 degrees), without softener and they’re absolutely fine!
I use softener so my shirts can be super comfortable
Bahahahaha Wolfgang absolutely cracked me up mate! Loving the channel 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate 😁👍🏾
£85 for the new england shirt is £14 in VAT which we all know the government is spending on the NHS and funding the country and not lining their own and mates pockets... 😊
I should have watched the video until the end before commenting....
Wolfgang had me in tears 😂😂😂
He’s now half Welsh 🏴 half German 🇩🇪 with that accent 🤣
I get the fake players versions the last couple of seasons, can't afford the ridiculous prices for me and the kids now, never had an issue with any of them, washed them in the washing machine on hand wash at the lowest possible temperature and all of them are still as good as new
I got fake shirts for years. My napoli maradona edition is still in perfect condition wash at 30°c and leave it dry. My original napoli shirt I washed ONES at 50°C and all the heatpressed numbers and sponsors came loose. And that for 150 euros. It's ridiculous. I prefer to buy fakes. MAYBE they last not that long but you pay only 15-25 euros...
Let’s not forget, you can’t always get the shirts you want, or sometimes the size from official shops anyway.
I ordered a tracksuit off DHgate and it has been fine to wear, the pocket zips aren't the best quality. Otherwise all good. The only problem is that DHgate closed my account for no reason. I contacted their support to unban it and they wanted me to send pictures of the front and back of my credit card. No way I would do that. I have boycotted them since.
Sounds like you got hacked
They have an option of name and number just click no name or number as they peel off.
Honestly last 3 years as a Chelsea fan I’ve moved to DH gate as the Nike Nikes after 3/4 washes are awful and spending £90 you can’t justify
I buy my retro Arsenal tops on DH Gate. They are much better quality than those Score Draw ones that even the official Arsenal store sell.
The current day ones are a bit more delicate. You obviously have to be sensible when washing them. Only wash them at 30 and don't tumble dry and they should last the season. Even if they don't, at £10-£11 you can just get a replacement and you'll still have spent a fraction thwn you would have on a real one.
I got a dh gate Real Madrid shirt, you can't tell the difference between mine and a mates genuine one he bought a few months later. Never buying a genuine United shirt ever again, adidas charging £85 for the latest shirt it's disgusting. My 8 year old nieces kit last Xmas cost nearly a ton
I currently have both fake and original. I always hand wash them though and hang them to dry. They'll last longer that way.
And real ones are made in the same sweatshops
Love the video as always mate… especially seeing that Barnsley shirt… that of course is 100% authentic 😂
Of course 😁 worth every penny 👍🏾
I’ll pay £9 for a kids kit all day long, they’ll grow out of it in no time, spending £100 instead is ridiculous
Legit shirts do what happened to that del piero, my own bayern munich shirt i bought legit in around 2006/7 with makaay on the back - after a few years in a wardrobe i hand washed it, not even a washing machine and the print started sticking together and was ruined..... lession learnt just never wash them....
Ry, wtf was that at the end? LMAO!!!
Looking forward to the football shirt video and euros content “I’m an all round viewer” 😂
Haha top man 🍻
I wash my sons dhgate shirts all the time and as long as they aren't tumble dried, they're fine. You just need to use about 8 different sellers then go for the best quality on future purchases.
Does it matter from where on DHGate you order it from? There are soooo many choices. Are they all the same quality?
Thats why I get no name no number
Real officianados know that the triple digit official shirts and dhgate shirts are made in the same sweatshops 👀
Ignore those on their high horses. Been watching several videos of yours. Just subscribed to support your channel. I buy original jerseys for my collection. I buy fakes to wear.
Genuinely have got loads for my kids and retro ones and I wash them and never tumble dry them and they stay good. Got ones 3-4 years old the quality is still good.
Like someone said. Made in the same factories just out the back door and not the front.
I have just received my new Red bull Leeds kit.Absolutely fantastic quality.Thank you DHGate.
Your Mrs shouldn’t be washing anything in a normal wash above 30. 40 if it’s really dirty and stinky. Higher for bedding and towels. And if she sticking your stuff in the dryer, do your self a favour and tell her to leave your shirts alone. She should know how to read a washing label. If it was one of her dainty items I’m sure she would know how to care for.
30 degrees, inside out, air dry. Even you want to be extra stick in a mesh bag or pillow case when washing.
I learnt the hard way as a kid mum ruined my arsenal top Dreamcast sponsor peeled right off. Then she discovered it’s cheaper to wash at 30, energy saving 😂.
Dh gate website is crap if you download the app everything's on it , not sure why that is ...
Regarding the quality I'd say they're all made in the same shop but leave via a different door
I buy mine off Taobao in China. About £8 for the kids shirt, £15 for the players versions. 1/10th of the price. And all of them look brilliant, is there a difference? A bit. The real ones do feel a bit better, but not 10 times the quality!
I’ll get the kid a real one when we get back home in the summer, but in the meantime, give him the fakes. Can have home, away and the third. Maybe the goalie ones too!
When I was in China 5 years ago I got most of mine for ¥50
Is Wolfgang half Welsh 😂
🤣 he could be…
balls. I should have read through the comments.
there prices are ridicilous for fakes,laughable
I have bought 2 shirts from DHGate
First was solid with some minor defects (mainly the collar was slightly off center)
Second was horrible quality, and is borderline unwearable
But as long as you stick to somewhat reputable sellers you will get at least a passable shirt
Edit: if anyone is wondering wtf happened with the 2nd one, there was only 1 seller and it was an obscure shirt (wisconsin badgers jersey) and I took a punt
Hand wash or cold wash. I've got ones 3 or 4 years and still great
Buyer beware. I recently realized 3 shirts haven’t arrived after a month. Maybe they were seized by customs. We should be conscious of what we’re getting. You can’t pay $2000 for a car and then complain if it doesn’t last. We are adults. I will say, this content does sell. It is what it is
At least turn your shirts inside out if washing in washer . Just come back from Turkey with a load of kits, way better than dh gate
This aspect of washing your shirts should have been thrown into the video, makes a big difference in how long the logos last
Wish my mum new back in the day still got them but with prints faded away
I feel your pain, my Mum over washed a lot of my concert shirts.
At least we know now 😆
Too late for those classic originals 😂
It's no brainer £15 to £20 for a fake or £80 to £90 for official... Plus if you wash fake at 30 degrees and turn them inside out they will last till the rob dog major sporting brands bring next seasons shirt out easily. .
What a perfectly reasonable explanation of a tricky subject and good video
Glad you liked it!
Just don't get names printed on the back
Ry, Please do not stop making dhgate content. They are amazing videos!
Even the tracksuits are spot on got a United special edition one couple years ago that still looks fire 😂
When drying on radiator, my real and fake shirts get destroyed. So try drying naturally, without heat basically.
The shirts i buy in Turkey the sponsor or printing isnt the iron on plastic or vinyl but part of the shirt if you know what i mean so wash up lovely
never buy and kit real or fake with names on the quality is shocking either way
All I will say is don't wash them at anything above 40 degrees.
Guide to know if you should buy official or fake shirts:
*Case 1:* Are you a solvent collector and you only care about having the shirts hanging on a hook, regardless of the fact that you are probably not going to wear them more than 3 times in your life? Then buy officials.
*Case 2:* Do you only care about showing your support for your soccer team, going to the stadium or simply using it to go have beer with your friends, without having to spend $150 each season? Buy fake shirts then.
I’m doing it wrong as the fakes are hanging up and the real ones I swear and spill beer down at games…
Here's my two penneth.
Are DHgate or other Chinese websites shirts the same quality as the authentic versions? Absolutely not, for £14-£15 a shirt you can't expect the same level of quality control you'd get at Nike or Adidas.
I've had my share of duds from DHgate and others. Shirts with wonky collars, way too small despite sizing up, I once got an Inter shirt with a Juventus Coppa Italia winners badge on.
Obviously they are not going to be the same quality. I was at a beer festival a few weeks ago which was a fundraiser for a football club. There were about 50 kids running around in football kits and you could spot the dodgy DHgate ones a mile off. The giveaway for kids shirts is massive neck holes, some of them were so low they looked like women's blouses, but the kids didn't care and they probably cost about £15.
The thing about fake shirts being linked to organised crime or unsafe working conditions is completely unfounded and most likely a smear to try to stop people buying them. Let's not forget not so long ago Nike got in trouble for practices in their sweatshops.
If it's a shirt that you really want and you'll cherish it for years, buy the original. If you can't afford it use klarna and break up the payments but don't assume the original won't fall to bits in the wash.
In my experience generally non-fake shirts are more durable but there are exceptions to the rule and I was absolutely fucking livid with Adidas when my £100 Arsenal shirt started falling to bits after about three washes. At the same time I have had fakes that lasted years and I've worn to death, it's just the luck of the draw.
My advice for DHgate shirt buying is this.
1) only use the highest rated sellers, I'm talking upwards of 98.5% and who have sold thousands of shirts
2) if you want it to last, consider not getting a name and number on the back. In my experience they tend to peel off pretty easily.
3) fan version shirts are more durable than player version shirts, that goes for DHgate and authentic shirts. Stitches are harder wearing than heat bonded plastic.
4) it's a numbers game. You're not gonna get a great DHgate shirt every time. They can't afford to throw the shirt in the bin cos the collar's a bit wonky but having said that I've got DHgate shirts that look great and no one could tell the difference.
5) always hand wash your football shirts (real or DHgate). Wash them in lukewarm water with a small amount of detergent, don't iron them, don't hang them on the radiator, don't use fabric conditioner.
Ultimately everyone would rather buy the real deal but corporate greed and classic football shirt websites have inflated the cost of football shirts so they're no longer accessible to most people. That's just the reality of the situation and by buying real shirts you're just feeding insatiable corporate greed. Look at the cost of NFL jerseys in the US? That's where we're heading if we don't get control of the situation.
I buy from DHgate and the jerseys have been really good. None have been bad. I had one since 2019 which is still in good condition. Name and number still on too.
Toronto FC! Nice! My shirts are fine through the cold cycle and air dried after. 🙂
DH gate is now a scam. Since Pandabuy was raided DH gate sellers have raised prices and more people are just not getting what they ordered.
Don’t wash at high temp. The glue will melt regardless of who made it
You need to wash them on a cold wash-used DH for years,just order 2 sizes up👍
Most originals come from sweet shops in Asia anyway.
I’ve had DHgate shorts for a few years, not one has had any issues, wash by hand and air dry👌. If you have to use a washing machine thrn put them in a pillow case inside out👌.
I only use them to play 5 a side in though. And any NFL fans the NFL shirts are 👌👌👌 of there. Also on DHGate if you type in Man Utd and it says no match, top right is an icon that’s red, click on it and press reset. Then they show the shirts.
Just dont machine wash, its so easy to hand wash for the sake of £10, as opposed to spending nearly £100
Just turn them to the left when washing, so the numbers and stuff are on the inside.
Cheap shirts are fine on a cold wash have loads no issues
Can't find any fake shirts on the website anymore, is it because of my region or are you guys having the same issue?
I’m noticing the same. And I can’t find the seller/store mentioned in the video
@@willgeorge4015type a player name like rashford and they will come up
Your fine washing at low temperature 20 degrees inside out on DHGATE shirts I've been buying from the site for 5 years and never ruined a shirt!!! Remember guys inside out low temperature 😊
Couldn’t care less 😂. Teams change kits every 9 months, i’d rather spend £15 every year and throw away then £85+ every year to leave in a wardrobe after a year
90s shirts were the best. Felt lettering.
Lets face it, when you buy a Jersey for 100 Euros + ... i can image that there made in the same factory as DH Gate Jerseys , so why buy a Shirt for over 100 Euros? No.
Finally some honest opinions on Reps. At first they look amazing but after a couple of months or so they are absolutely wasted
For the cost of a real football shirt you could take a family trip/ holiday abroad
How should I wash my football shirts???
hand wash
Been putting my shirts in the wash (cold wash) for years never had an issue with damage. With regards to DHGate shirts they are what you pay for. Youre not going to get much longevity out of them, I rather spend the money on the original
Embossed numbers fail big time.
A tale of two sides in regards to my Maradona away shirt.
The front is perfect. Sewn badge and make.
The back has the silver 10 wrinkled.
Wash them inside out at 40 degrees should be fine
as someone that has a load of football shirts id personally wouldn't but fakes but I get why people do
if anyone is looking for real ones the codes on the tags and inside the shirt is something you always want to look for
I tried ordering two shirts, both got taken by customs. Guess I am unlucky.
Very unlucky - I've ordered dozens and no problems
@@penaltygallery Seems like it indeed. I contacted the seller and he send three parcels. Only one arrived. But what a legend haha. He went out of his way to ensure it got delivered.
I'm just way too scared to try this because I'm afraid that customs will confisqate my package and will give me a fine. I live in the Netherlands.
Only really bad thing if your ordering from a good seller or a website like kitgg is if ur in the USA the shipping will take a long time like almost a month (not including like child labor and stuff)
All shirt must be wash by hand. Unless your playing with it
I’ve always had a good experience with DH gate and have lots of shirts
If I was a seller on dh gate I would sell real shirts for less than €20
The black spots could be the start of mold
I bought my 1st fake last season and I will be using again new season .
Ordered 3 different AS Roma jerseys and 2 Celtic jerseys from DHgate. Can't wait to get them in!! Most of the time when I ordered baseball jerseys from them, it looks a lot like the real thing. Only a couple of times did I get bad ones. But I'm in a football kick now so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.
Once you find a good seller your golden 👌
Wolfgang is sounding rather Welsh 😂
Just found your channel and your content is great! Lol
just put your shirt through a gentle / delecate wash in the washing machine and you will be fine
Just get from good sellers and learn how to wash properly and they go for a few years, wich is more then good for a 10 euro shirt
i buy all my kits for my two sons of Dhgate they've got allsorts of kits like são paulo and 1996 England retro can't beat it for price
Put the water on the washing machine on cool then don't put the shirt in the dryer, let it air dry.
I've been looking for a vintage flamengo shirt with zico on the back for my dad who loved him growing up and all of the real ones are 500£+. I've not got that kind of money and I've been looking DH gate shirts. Might order it and hope it isnt utter shite.
