Can I get a legit check on this shirt? I know it’s got the right Nike product code but something about the badge is making me question it

Made a full investigation into the football shirt counterfeit market. Ended up with a 7-min video covering:

- Where fakes come from (China, Turkey, Thailand)
- How the wholesale pipeline actually works
- What tactics counterfeiters have gotten alarmingly good at
- The 2026 World Cup seizures (Hong Kong $20M, Houston $9M, Toronto arrests)
- What enforcement is actually doing

Sources cited include FIFA data, Corsearch UK report, French Customs (via AFP), US CBP press releases, Hong Kong Customs, and Reuters.

Genuinely curious what the collector community thinks about the state of the market right now. Have you spotted fakes in the wild recently? What tactics did they use to fool you?

Is this shirt legit ?

Surprise from wife and only for 40 eur. She struck a good deal o would say, what do you think ?

I am about to purchase this arsenal shirt as a birthday gift for my brother in law.
All seems legit, price is fair, it looks worn … just, better safe than sorry.

I've always dreamed of owning this kit but I'm a newbie in spotting fake football jerseys.

After doing some research online the code IM#126539 checks out, and so do the other tags, but I'm definitely no expert. The thing is, to me it seems too new and in mint condition.

Do you guys think it's legit? Thanks so much for the help.

Found a brand new with tags 2022/23 man city kit with UCL printing and patches.

Code checks out. But Any red flags I’m missing?

One of my favourite details on this Liverpool 1996/97 away shirt is the subtle Liverbird pattern woven into the fabric. You barely notice it from a distance, but up close it makes the shirt something special.

Reebok, Carlsberg and Fowler on the back. Hard to beat this era of football shirts.

Just added it to my collection on jersey-collect.

What do you think of this one?

Managed to pick this up from a charity shop for £20, it was in a case behind the till that I spotted when buying a France 98 World Cup pint glass.

ChatGPT reckons it’s authentic but I’m really not sure, can anyone help. The only internal tag it has is the size label with wash instructions. Badge and sponsor all are felt. Condition is probably a 7/10 for its age if it’s real isn’t bad at all.

Any help welcome.

Hey everyone, looking to buy this 2017/18 psg third kit. Seller has good reviews and it seems to be priced appropriately. But could use another set of eyes. Thanks
