A - I used a credit card so can reverse a transaction that doesn't arrive. B - That's a risk I'm willing to take. iOffer is a reputable site and the reviews of that seller are extremely positive. C - That admittedly makes me uncomfortable, but there's so much messed up stuff in the world that you can't avoid it all all the time. When was the last time you consumed a Nestle product? I don't think there's any more likelihood this was made using child labour than, say, a hat I could buy on the beach on holiday, and I wouldn't think twice about doing that. D - I pay hundreds for my season ticket every year so won't feel guilty about not spending an extra £50 on a shirt that is reportedly poorly made. Also, see point C. keep me updated i might follow suit Bumping this thread as my hooky shirt arrived today (seven days after order). At first glance it looks completely legit. All the tags are exactly what you'd expect, and the quality of the printing and embroidery is high. The material does feel light and cheap, although I haven't held one of the genuine versions for comparison. Remains to be seen how well it stands up to wear and washes. I ordered the largest available size (XL) because all the comments were saying they came back smaller than expected, but I wouldn't say the sizing is too different from what I would usually expect from UK football kit sizing. XL is a bit too big for me, Large would've been about right (I'm 6'0, slender build). On the whole, I'm pretty impressed. If someone tells me how to post photos I'll include some.

Be good if it came with a full back of stripes instead of the commercially driven white block back! You ought to take it up club shop and get a name & number popped on it see if anyone there notices the difference !!

Walrus, good stuff, keep us updated. Wouldn't consider spending £50 on a design I don't especially like, but £13 is nowt so I may have a punt on one of these myself.
I couldn't give a shit that the club sees none of this money - a, don't roll over and accept a shit design next time and b, price your shirts sensibly like you do the season tickets and you'll get an equally good uptake of shirt sales.
Simple really.

Every year, my mum insists on buying me a Stoke shirt for my birthday present (bless her, I'm 55 FFS!). For the last two years, the design has been so bloody awful, I have insisted on retro designs instead. No garish sponsor logos and no stripeless backs. Usually cheaper, too. Mind you, even she refused to buy the Holocaust Season Memorial shirt, in case it brought the curse of '85 upon us.

I'm pretty sure from your photo that the typeface on the Bet 365 logo isn't correct but apart from that it's pretty accurate a copy.

Just bought one. Why not for 13 quid? I'll report back on quality when it arrives in 10-15 days. Probably because A) It may never turn up B) £13 for a piece of shit that looks wank is still £13 C) Probabky made using child labour D) Not a penny goes to our club and likely goes to Chinese mafia Other than that it's perfect Whereas the real ones are made by umpa lumpas living in a paradise without a care in the world.

20 years ago maybe clubs needed the extra mark up that they received on official merchandise.but given the money in the prem league these days why don't the clubs sell the shirt for £20 they would still make a profit and even better put the countifers out of business. I know the problem is all the manufactures bid to sell the clubs kit maybe stoke could buck the trend and go it alone buying their own reputable shirts and marketing them themselves. fuck you addidas,puma,nike, etc

The badge is spot on, but the Bet365 font is definitely wrong, doesn't look like they've quite perfected it yet. Overall though not bad at all.

Here in Thailand I can get AA Quality replica shirts for the big clubs only...Not seen any SCFC ones yet. And they are probably 95% like for like... All the major European Clubs Liverpool, Chelsea, Man C , Man U, Arse, Spurs, Everton and Leicester, along with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and PSG. And the new National shirts as and when they come out. I can get em for about a tenner, with 5 quid postage. I often wondered about joining all them teams message boards and masquerading as a fan and hawking them on there, but it sort of puts your head above the parapet a bit and could lead to prosecution. Anyone got any suggestions....

Those Stoke tops that are knock off I can also get from Thailand if the qty was right, but I am a bit cautious about advertising on here in case the club monitor it...

Just received through the mail order site a junior 7 to 8 year size top. It is woefully small, sending it back so they can see if it is the correct size. It also has a name printed on it so...
Maybe they should advertise the ages of UK children and not S.E. Asian children. £35 plus the name and number must equal a vast profit

Just proves what I've said previously about shirt rip offs. Clubs selling shirts for £50 when in reality they could be sold at a profit with free postage for £13 from California FFS. They look perfectly wearable (if you must) for this price. What's not to like?

It says a lot about society when people immediately notice when a corporate logo is in a slightly different typeface.

Awe, nice work chief. I only kept one back for myself and that's seen better days. A classic yet contemporary Stoke shirt wouldn't be about simply redrawing an old kit, it would be an exercise in making the traditional new. The old red stripes on white, width of the stripes, getting the detail correct, collar, fit, so forth. I'd have a field day with it, where to remove surplus detail and where and how to exploit contemporary manufacturing methods and so on. Sigh...
