New Kit

I'd put my money on the same people buying fakes here will be up in arms if we don't spend several million before the end of the window

First thing I thought too.
Fucking cretins.

Paying £100 plus for a kids kit when it’s worth nothing is not something every person can afford to do.

I always buy Swans stuff through the club but will always buy other clubs kits/tracksuits etc elsewhere for my boy.

It's like the debate about going to support and watch the Swans

I fully appreciate that and football is overpriced in general nowadays, I bought my lad the away one and it does seem a waste of money as it will fit him for a strawberry season.

Just the irony of people who don't put any money themselves into the club, are usually the ones who go bizzurk if we miss out on a player etc. Not saying there's any on here.

Actually I stand corrected, I bought a Swansea blue top(Preston promotion shirt) online from a retro shirt site

I always buy my swans gear off the club, main reason is that if it was fake it would stand out a mile amongst all the real ones everyone else is wearing. I'm tempted to buy a fake just to compare it. i can bet its terrible.

I can bet more kids are wearing hooky kits for other teams now though.

I've never bought from any of these dodgy sites before, but ordered 4 shirts total for my son today, two from each site suggested. Only one of which is a Swans kit. Those 4 shirts have cost less than £50 total including delivery. If the Swans one is poor quality, I'll buy him a real one at some point. I'm interested to see how genuine they look.

He chose a couple of fake shirts for himself from the shops in Little Italy when we were in New York at the start of the year. I can't remember the second one, but the Inter Miami Messi shirt he got looks very good and hasn't disintegrated in the wash or anything.

I get the argument about taking cash away from the club, but how much of the £50(!) for a kid's shirt actually goes to the club? I've handed over more than £500 for our season tickets, so I doubt I'll be losing sleep over not being ripped off over replica shirts for once.

I used DH Gate a few years back to buy a couple of Wales kits, one the World Cup kit one a vintage kit.

One of them took a good couple of months, one of them arrived within a fortnight. Very random.

But quality was excellent. Especially the World Cup kit, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Saved me about £50-60 compared to buying it in JD.

It's definitely worth a shot.

Except they're not terrible.

They're the real thing, the only difference is you're not paying a rip off premium.

First time I’ve bought a fake Swans kit, like others have said if quality is bad I’ll go back and buy one from the club but from experience of buying other clubs kits they’ve been amazing quality and no difference at all apart from the bargain price.

 

[Glyn1]

Definition of stupidity: paying £120 for a home and away kit, and then chopsing because a mug costs £8.

I’ve bought tons in the last 2 or 3 years and they’ve all been perfect. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

My theory is they’re the official ones made in the factory and the workers take shirts to sell themselves and make far more money.

I can imagine there’s a huge market for people making knock off swansea shirts in china

Not always, I've ordered a replica swans kit from DH gate years ago and it was dreadful, the white one with the collar. it didn't have the inlaid design in the material and the collar was like something from the 70s. I've seen someone with a knock off purple kit from last season too, and the colours were wrong too.

I've ordered the big team stuff loads of times for my boys, and that stuff is normally spot, but it would be as they sell thousands of them. they wont put the effort in for swans gear as its not worth their time. I still think if you had the genuine PSG kit next to a DH gate special, you'd see the differences easily.
when this third kit comes out, I'm going to order a fake and buy a real one and then compare them.
