Question about 50th anniversary shirts from DHGate

[SteveGc]

Got my England top today and honestly think it could actually be real. It’s a medium and does seem a tiny bit small but that could just be the fit. But the weight and quality even the tags all look real

I got my England player edition shirt of DHGate back in October when it had been leaked.  Perfect quality.  Just like the real thing

How does Enjoy New Balls compare to DHGate? Must say I'm tempted! 

The same but DHgate is cheaper.  I got my Saints cup shirt for £11 and it's perfect.  Didn't even need to size up.

My shirt arrived yesterday morning, good timing, quality is not too bad but it is very bright yellow.

yes its as though Del Boy had a dodgy tin of dye from the British Railways and sold it to the shirt manufactuers lol

I thought the halo on mine was a bit dodgy but the latest saints pics show a halo with a darker part. Admittedly, it doesn’t have the signature on the sleeves like mine. 
My one is very bright yellow.

I admit I didn't have football fans concerned about the shade of their shirt and it being a bit bright on my bingo card, but we're a discerning bunch after all. 😄

With some trepidation I have just washed my shirt, half expecting it to fall apart. But it came out fine.

While at the Green Man on Saturday I group I got chatting to were convinced my knock off shirt was a legit one when comparing it to the ones other people had on, conversely at the stadium someone pulled me over to tell me how fake and shit it looks 🤣

I love how someone needed to tell you that, what is wrong with people??

Probably just bitter his didn't arrive in time!

My local independent laundry shop is selling brand new England tops for £30. 😜

Look pretty legit.

Apart from minor nuances the only obvious aspect is the colour compared to the paler yellow in the official version. Below is a typical cheaper 'fake' version, and it's clearly a brighter yellow but you'd be hard pressed to tell it was an unofficial product. I think it looks pretty good without a sponsor.

Curious to know if anyone managed to buy a cheap shirt in the correct colour...? Asking for a friend, mindful we could yet be playing in yellow and blue stripes in a very big match this season

This one looks better imo.. Another DHGate job.

That's what mine is like, the person who had a problem was convinced it should be the other yellow and autographs up the arms

What made me laugh is that, given the shirt was a limited edition, there appeared to be thousands of people wearing them for the semi 🤣

I've also got an England shirt from DHGate and have just ordered one of the dimplex retro Pony away shirts, cost me about £8 so can't complain! 😁

The commercial team must have looked a bit sheepish on semi final day seeing how many people were wearing the dh gate specials compared to the proper ones.

Was a bit silly trying to limit them to 1976 at £120 in the first place, even without the long cup run I reckon they’d have sold a whole lot more if they were priced lower and weren’t a limited run.

On another note retro Saints kits used to be readily available all year round in a variety of styles, but now they only seem to do a limited run of each. Seems counter productive in the long run as retros have a longer shelf life, and people like myself prefer them to buying that seasons kit as they’ll last years.

Was hoping to treat myself to one of the Pony reproductions, they vanished before I had a chance.

Surely best to wait for decent reproductions rather than pony ones?

(I'm guessing I must be the first person ever to come up with this highly amusing play-on-words?)

Lord Duckhunter will be having words with you for using his word.

Agreed, especially on the blackout tops. I know some people wouldn't wear a football top out and about but the blackout ones, I'd be wearing that.

I do wonder how people buy the limited retro tops only to make a raise and sell on.

The blackout shirts are also available on DHGate...

Oh really?!

Can you link me to a vendor? I've searched but not been able to find any.
