1. The grade (type) of football uniforms

The football uniforms in the domestic market are roughly divided into three grades, the first is genuine, and the second is Thai version ( The Thai version is a general term for high-imitation football uniforms), and the third type is the domestic version.

1) Authentic products are the big brother in the football uniform market. Without its birth, neither the Thai version nor the domestic version can be cloned and produced. Genuine products are generally produced and sold by sports brands that everyone is very familiar with. For example, Adidas, Nike, Puma, Reebok, Umbro, Kappa, etc. At the end of each season, these manufacturers will design several sets of samples for next season's home and away uniforms according to the club's requirements and provide them to the club for reference and decision-making. The club will announce it through its official website and hold a press conference after the end of this season and about one month before the start of next season. Afterwards, the club will authorize jersey providers to produce and sell it around the world and make profits from it. The same is true for the national team, except that the club has become a national football association.

The concept of authentic jerseys is divided into: player version, off-field version, and fan version. The player version of the jersey is exclusively for the team and is used for players to wear in games and as gifts for team-organized activities. The field version specifically refers to the jersey that players wear in games and is a specialized product of the player version. For each official game, the team will prepare at least two sets of jerseys for each player. Both sets of jerseys are prepared for players to play in the game. Some players are used to wearing one set for each half, while others are used to wearing only one set for the whole game. If the jersey is torn or stained with blood or other violations, the jersey must be changed. The final version of the jersey is worth collecting, and the final version of the jersey for important games is even rarer in the world. (For example, Torres’ jersey in the current European Cup final);

2) The Thai version of the jersey is the collective name for high-imitation jerseys (there is also one called the Hong Kong version). Everyone has different opinions on the origin of this name. Some think it is because the original imitation was made by Thai workers, while others think it is because the original imitation was produced in a factory in Thailand. Because the Thai version of the jersey has the logo of the jersey manufacturer, it is an infringing product. Therefore, ordinary manufacturers only mass-produce it once at the beginning of the season. Unless the market demand exceeds the estimate, it will not be produced again. This type of jersey can be made exactly the same as the original jersey in appearance. In addition to being very similar to the original version in terms of style, workmanship details and appearance, the real Thai version of the jersey is also almost as good as the original jersey in terms of fabric and breathable and sweat-absorbent functions. Of course, strictly speaking, there is still some gap between the quality and the official one. Even so, the slight difference between the Thai version and the genuine version does not affect its high cost performance. Compared with the domestic jerseys currently on the market, it has inherent advantages.

3) The third-tier jersey is a domestic version. As the name suggests, the domestic version of the jersey is a jersey produced in mainland China. Several well-known domestic jersey manufacturers include: "Sports God", "Zhongjian", "Penalty Kick", "Vietnam", etc. There are many other miscellaneous brands, but they are basically small-scale manufacturers that usually last two or three years before going bankrupt.

2. Material, design and workmanship of the jersey

1) The material of the authentic jersey is generally about 95% polyester + about 2% spandex + about 3% Lycra. The genuine jersey has an absolutely first-class feel, is comfortable to wear, has excellent sweat-wicking and breathability, and is not close-fitting. The 2008-09 Adidas jerseys use "climacool" or "climalite" as pronouns for their fabrics, while Nike uses "NikeFit" as the slogan for its fabrics.

In terms of jersey design, Adidas has always implemented its three-stripe style, while Nike is a fan of fantasy and creative beauty. Adidas is accustomed to designing its logo directly above the jersey sponsor advertisement and the back of the shorts (the back of the left thigh), while Nike designs its logo on the upper right chest of the front of the jersey and the front of the shorts (the front of the left thigh). Starting from the 2007-08 season, Adidas added a laser anti-counterfeiting cursor in the lower right corner of the front of the fan version of the jerseys it sells. Regardless of Adidas or Nike, there are genuine size markings on the inside of the jersey collar, and the tags are under the short sleeves on the right side. Adidas' jerseys have mesh designs at the collar and under the armpits. Nike's jerseys have mesh throughout, but the meshes are smaller than Adidas's. In addition, a small number of Adidas jerseys have hidden designs on the hems.

The workmanship of genuine products is very particular. The stitching at the seams of the jersey is regular and relatively dense, and there is no thread anywhere.

In addition, both the Adidas and Nike logos use embroidery technology. Some team emblems use embroidery technology (Barcelona, ??Liverpool), and some use hand sewing.

2) The fabric of the Thai version of the jersey is generally polyester + spandex, and there are also pure polyester. The design of the Thai version of the jersey is a complete imitation of the genuine product, and it is enough to look fake just from the visual observation. But there is still a gap between the workmanship and the original product. The stitches of the Thai version are slightly wider, there are remnants of paper foam pieces inside the embroidered Adidas or Nike logo, and there are often threads at the seams. However, if you are not a professional fan who collects it, the Thai version of the jersey is more than enough for casual wear or football. Being able to imitate it is a sign of the country's counterfeiting skills.

3) The fabric of the domestic version of the jersey is mainly polyester, and some manufacturers will add a little quick-drying material in order to pursue breathability. In terms of design, domestic uniforms are slightly different. Let me briefly talk about the two mainstream brands in the market, "Sports God" and "Zhongjian". Except for the absence of the Adidas or Nike logo, the design of the "Sports God" jersey is relatively similar to the original one. However, "Sports God" seems to prefer mesh. Many of its products have a mesh design, which makes it feel slightly wider when worn. , has good breathability, wicks away sweat and is easy to dry; the "Zhongjian" jersey is designed with a flat surface, which feels extremely soft and feels slippery and slightly cool when worn. In terms of workmanship, a common problem with domestic football uniforms is that they have a lot of threads. Of course, because it is mass production, for clothes that cost tens of dollars, the problem of threads can be ignored, and threads are not a big problem.

3. Price of jerseys

1) Genuine jerseys are sold separately from jerseys and shorts. When officially launched, genuine jerseys are generally priced at 48 and shorts at 28. This price is the price listed in regular physical stores such as Adidas and Nike in China. The price listed in some stores will be slightly cheaper by more than ten yuan, but the difference will not be too big

2) The price of Thai version of football uniforms is generally around 80 yuan , out of code or out of stock will be slightly more expensive.

In addition, because the Thai version of the jersey will not be produced in large quantities like the domestic jerseys, and at the same time, it is always at risk of being investigated and punished by local industrial and commercial authorities, so if the Thai version of the jersey is not in stock, the delivery time There is instability.

3) The price of domestic jerseys is generally between 40-50 yuan

4. The size of the jerseys

1) Authentic jerseys and Thai version of the club Jerseys generally use European sizes

7. Purchase recommendations

1) If you are a fan and collect, it is recommended to buy genuine products. The first authentic product has collection value, and the second authentic product has great room for appreciation.

2) If you are a fan of Adidas and Nike, and you also like to watch football, and you can also be called a semi-La fan, then you might as well buy one or two authentic jerseys and play football and watch football with your friends. Show off, show off.

3) If you buy it personally and wear it purely for playing football, the Thai version is a good choice.

4) If you are buying game uniforms for your work or school team, the domestic version of the uniforms is enough, and you won’t feel too distressed if you tear or resist them.
