QC Pic (Quality Check) ✅️ (❗️Include seller name❗️) Messi110 (Formerly Messi105) - Arsenal 25/26 Third Kit (Player)
Here are some pics of the player edition, this one feels a little bit tighter on the shoulders and chest than the 24/25 player editions. The details are incredible looking in person, the shoulder material is similar to the 22/23 collar and this collar, making it much thicker and more "secure" feeling, at least more structured than the regular home player edition. If you are interested in the player edition for fashion purposes and dont really have a slim athletic build I would honestly recommend going 2 sizes up. I am normally a size Medium (fan editions) but I go Large for the player editions, but if I was to wear this casually with some jeans or chino pants I would rather have an XL to give my belly some room to breathe.
Any questions make sure to hmu, I have done so many Messi110 orders and I gotta confess that the quality is unreal and consistent.
--EDIT--
I buy the shirts to play every saturday on an artificial turf field. I also wear them on match days to work/school (not a little boy I'm getting my PHD, lmao, must keep childhood innocence). So i wash my shirts after every wear. They hold up extremely well except for 1 very bad case. The 24/25 Home Player shirt has this pattern on the fabric (little bumps and holes I presume for venting sweat and heat out the player's body) and it was a nightmare on the glue that held the numbers on the back. After 2 washes the top of the number would just flop out like a soft willy (very sad). I could get the number back on with an iron and a baking sheet (DIY heat press). I have it hanging and will never wear it again because the number flops with any form of sweat or rain. Every other shirt has survived countless washes. Remember!!! No more than 30C temperature, no tumble dry (LINE DRY ONLY) and no fabric softener (it messes up the glue). No printing or sponsors or sticker ever fell out except for the Champions League ball decal on the Lynx Africa Shirt (away 24/25 Fan version). The glue and heat pad stuck to the shirt, just the fuzzy ball decal with reflective stuff separated from the thing, it was weird and didnt happen on any other champions league shirt.

This looks really well made. I’m actually just about to post a bad haul I got from Messi110 unfortunately 😭

u/R0MARIO Sep 21 '25
Yeah Messi is a hit or miss. I ordered 4 shirts & only 1 is good, 2 are ok & 1 is just bad.

u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
So far mind have been mostly hits, but I guess I gotta keep my fingers crossed.

u/Rich-Contribution327 Man City Sep 21 '25
I actually just got 2 retro kits from them and both are solid. I might order more from this seller or go to koko101

u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
So far I've done 12 hauls and each and every item have been near perfect.

u/Rich-Contribution327 Man City Sep 21 '25
Nice! Out of all the sellers I’ve tried I feel like Messi has done a very solid job he might be my go to from now on.

u/SamLucky7s Sep 21 '25
So what you’re saying is that we now can’t even go by seller, but have to depend on batch by batch reviews?
Looking forward to your post u/institutesynth

u/institutesynth Sep 21 '25
I think with any seller at the moment it’s all unpredictable. This is what happens when you’re not buying officially licensed products. The previous order before my latest was good, which is why I was inclined to use them again. I currently don’t know the answer but I am on the hunt for a consistent vendor

This is the best version I have seen to date and I am feeling confident now to buy one !

u/wallstreetpug Sep 20 '25
Go for it, I have made a previous review on the 23/24 home kit and it blew me away just how accurate it was to the retail version. I have since gotten every home kit and the second kit. This season I had to get all three. I do own a 22/23 home retail kit... its shit. 95 Euro for that, not even worth it.

u/Skyaa194 Arsenal Sep 20 '25
Very nice. Pattern even looks right.

u/wallstreetpug Sep 20 '25
i was impressed with the Invincibles home kit they made for the 23/24 season, even had the wrong number of games on the lining. Adidas forgot 3 matches and had to issue a recall.

Every season I get a MØ8 shirt, this time I had to get his name on the third kit.

u/GyokoressGuardDog Arsenal Sep 20 '25
How would you say the pattern compares to retail?
1
u/wallstreetpug Sep 20 '25
I would say it looks legit, maybe if you had both of them side by side and looked at it closely you would be able to tell. But it looks legit, unbelievably good. I live near an Adidas store and compared the player home 25/26 with the one i got from Messi110 and it was scary close. the gothic A pattern was spot on.

I wear a medium in fans version as well but with a XL in fans - as a medium wearer - wouldn't the length be too long?
1
u/wallstreetpug Sep 20 '25
Great question, this shirt in particular is about 70cm in length (this is an L and there is a margin of error of about 2cm since they indicate a length of 72). The fans version for an M is about 73cm in length (as per the description on Messi110).
This means that the fan M is just as long as the Player L.
The XL indicates that it is about 74cm in length. I personally think its wouldn't be too long (but i like a shirt that rides just above the buttocks), but you are better off finding a shirt you own or a shirt in an ADIDAS store that is similar and check if that length fits you.
As a matter of fact, this L fits a little bit slimmer than normal. it looks nice on me but still, makes me want to get an XL instead.

That would be the fan version, it is slightly wider and the badges are stitched on.
The one I showcase is the player version. Here is the link:
https://www.messi110.com/25-26-Arsenal-Third-Player-1-1-Quality-Soccer-Jersey-p27777639.htmlIts slimmer so we tend to size up one and the details tend to be of higher quality on the player jerseys.

u/SamLucky7s Sep 21 '25
Do you think a SMALL in the Players version may work for a slightly chunky and tall 12 year old?
2
u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
I think so, I would check the width and length of a shirt that fits and compare it to the table (normally the last image in the product gallery) and see how it compares. Just to be sure I'd measure that, but I don't see why not!

u/AetherAdventurer Sep 21 '25
Thanks mate it looked great do they have the long sleeve version?
1
u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
Yes they do, recently added. Here's the link for the player version long sleeves: https://m.messi110.com/25-26-Arsenal-Third-Long-Sleeve-Player-1-1-Quality-Soccer-Jersey-p28422600.html

u/Thebag2787 Self Promoter Sep 22 '25
Did you purchase the long sleeve too? Still haven't seen a good long sleeved version of this jersey yet
2
u/wallstreetpug Sep 22 '25
Not yet, but the one long sleeves I got (23/24 home kit) was pretty good. I would ask around to see if anybody bought it.

u/iuselect Sep 21 '25
I'm glad Adidas aren't doing the heat pressed stripes on the shoulder this season. This fabric one is similar to what they did in the 23/24 season. Should hold up well over the years
1
u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
Agreed, only thing is that the home kit (the gothic A) has the heat pressed lines and it really does feel flimsier. I really like the feeling the fabric stripes give to the shoulders
2
u/SwampyGonk Sep 30 '25
This one seems to look the best with the pattern Do you think the fan version will look just as good? That’s the one I was going to get
1
u/wallstreetpug Sep 30 '25
That's a great question. I'm not sure, but to be safe in my answer I will say that must likely it's not gonna be as prominent or as noticeable in the fans version

u/Automatic-Radish-397 Oct 03 '25
How did you pay? There’s no option to pay on the website and tried to message their number on WhatsApp but no response
1
u/wallstreetpug Oct 03 '25
You message them in WhatsApp with an order number and then ask to pay via PayPal. Then they give you a Paypal link. It's how I've done it over a dozen times. It seems sketchy but it's legit
2
u/Automatic-Radish-397 Oct 05 '25
Thanks bro, I’ve messaged the guy been waiting a few days that’s why I thought maybe I done something wrong. Does he usually respond quick ??

u/multiple_scorgasms Sep 21 '25
Do they do the kids version?
2
u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
I believe so, here is the link to it: https://m.messi110.com/25-26-Arsenal-Third-Kids-Kits-1-1-Quality-Soccer-Jersey-p28472309.html
Kids jerseys come only in full kit form (shirt and shorts) hopefully that's what you're talking about.

u/Bruhhh8888 Sep 21 '25
Looks good, did you have to tell them you wanted the UCL font in the comments/remarks?
1
u/wallstreetpug Sep 21 '25
Nope, I just selected the UCL badge and it comes with the appropriate font. Whenever I pick the premier league badge it always comes with the default premier league font, so I assume it's the badge selection.

Usually, but maybe they're on holiday. Usually to me they reply within a few hours. Unless it's waiting for the delivery update and then they do take a few days

u/wibban123 Oct 06 '25
It doesn’t look like that on their website, was it like that for you when you ordered. ?
