How to tell a genuine football jersey from a fake

Genuine jersey or counterfeit: how to tell?

The jersey market has wildly different quality levels. Here are the things to check to make sure you buy a quality jersey.

1. The stitching

A quality jersey has even, straight, sturdy stitching. Loose threads or crooked seams are a bad sign.

2. Badges and printing

Check the club and brand logos: crisp, well-fixed, correct colours.

3. Labels and fabric

The fabric should be pleasant, breathable, no strong chemical smell.

4. The price (beware "too good")

A jersey 3x cheaper than everywhere else with blurry photos and an unreachable seller? Be careful.

5. The seller

Buy from an identifiable, reachable seller with reviews.
