  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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?
