Chinese replica jerseys.......would you?

[Friggerpants]

Clicky

How fake are these jereseys and shorts?

Would you wear one?

[garrykiller]

I haven't ordered that jersey / short combo but have ordered a sky top and some Castilli gear from china and i have been very happy with it. Will it last as long as the real ones? Probably not but its pretty good for the price.

I've also seen these kits, very good price for a Jersey & Shorts.. Tempted.

Don't understand the thinking with these. If you want the team kit then surely it is to support the team, so the money should be going to them, not to china? If you don't care about the team then no-name kit of a similar quality should be as cheap or cheaper.

I agree, which is what I do

I haven't found a no-name kit cheaper than these tbh.. I've been trying to find a good looking shirt/shorts set but without all of the big branding etc.

The blatant disregard of rule #16

Loving the description:

"Moreover, attached three 3M reflection fabric so can cope with danger"

They are excellent value but be careful of sizes.

Personally I wouldn't buy fake kit. As above if you want to support the team you like buy the proper replica kit so at least they benefit from it.

As everyone else has said - incredibly fake, but I bought an HTC Highroad jersey about 3 years ago and it's still going strong. As a cheap Chinese knock-off, I'm very happy with it. As to the question of supporting the 'team', no I wouldn't have bought it for that reason - I bought it 'cos I liked the graphics/style etc (which in a way is because of the 'team' I guess!).

[Gizmoish]

Ok, so never mind the team replica ones: are the non-team Chinese ones any good?

Dare any of you to go into the watches section of the forum and start talking about replicas

It shouldn't be any different here.

I'm surprised at the liberal attitude to the fakes in PP.

If you can't afford the real thing then buy something you can afford. When people ride round in a fake Assos or Sky jersey who are they trying to impress?

Pretty tragic.

[Jonnny]

I don't think they're trying to impress anyone, think they just like the look of it?

I like the look of Ferrari's but I wouldn't buy an MR2 with a bodykit

I like the look of Ferrari's but I wouldn't buy a Ferrari jacket and shorts combo.

I too am suprised that people think it's okay to support illegal business practices.

If you're to cheap to buy proper kit then go to a charity shop.

I'd buy the jersey for that sort of price but I'd doubt the pad in the shorts will be that good and no amount of chamois cream can compensate for a cheap pad...
