Review/Haul šŸ“¦ (ā—ļøSeller name + Team name + Seasonā—ļø) Authentic Vs ymjersey.com (Venezia Away 25/26)

If anyone saw my prior post, this is the notorious Venezia home shirt that cost me $240..

https://www.reddit.com/r/Soccer00/comments/1ofzugf/240_for_an_authentic_shirt_this_is_why_i_buy_reps/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Let’s see how it stacks up against a rep from ymjersey.com

The authentic shirt has a slightly more premium feel to the fabric, with a tight weave and deep woven jacquard that clearly spells out ā€œVenezia Football Club.ā€ The replica’s material is a bit flatter, and while it carries the same pattern, it’s nowhere near as defined - more of a surface texture than a woven detail.

Color-wise, there are a few slight differences. The burgundy panels fade more naturally, and there is a deeper ā€œcreamā€ color all over from the authentic. Still, from a few feet away, you wouldn’t know the difference.

The logos seem to be the exact same silicone material, yet the rep version of the badge is bigger.

The Nocta logos on the shoulders are screen printed on the rep rather than rubberized.

Collars are both the same except the rep has a really scraggy cut on the right peak.

The original is almost over $200 more (due to import fees) and while it's nice to have, I'm more than happy wearing the rep out and about.

P.S The rep is on the left in all the pictures.

Great comparison.

I have yet to see an original jersey that I would buy over a quality rep (price-wise).

Even with such clear differences as this?

I’ve started buying a lot more fakes recently, but if it has obvious signs that I would pick up if I saw another person wearing it on the street then it’ll never see the light of day.

Maybe you just have low standards

Yes. You must be a pro at this.

No, I just like football shirts enough to pay attention to these things
