Gogoalshop World Cup

 This is the Iceland Away shirt bought from Gogoalshop.vip.  Lets see how good these near real fakes can be.  From a distance it looks good.

 

The detail in the sleeves look good and they certainly have copied the pattern with great care.

Flag at the back and quite good material too.

All seemed good from the back.

 

Even the inner labels are like genuine one, so far no leakage after a few washes. 

 

The motto also replicated.

 

Crest is great quality too.

 

The only problem is the "Island" band at the inner back collar below. 

 

 

It looks like the real thing but the stitching and material is of poor quality causing some irritation.  Had to remove it else felt very scratchy.  The other inner stitching is OK and comfortable to wear.  So far after a few washes no major break.  But the Island tag on the red goalkeeper shirt seems to be of better quality.

The labels are good and the shirt looks great and feels good to wear.  Apart from the Island inner label, the only other problem but can only verify if I can inspect a genuine sample is may be the sizing.  It may be a bit larger than the real thing.  The shirt feels quite loose and big for a small size.  But nevertheless it is a decent shirt and worth the 1/3 price.

See what I mean by the stitching inside being noticeable compare to a genuine one.

You can see even though its a decent label but for this sample it is not like an Errea label ;-)

Below is a Colombia away shirt compare between a genuine and Gogoalshop one.  Genuine one on the left / top or first.

 

You can see this print, the genuine one seems better transferred onto the material and likely to last longer after several washes.  The Gogoalshup one feels more bumpy and may come off easier.

Both shirt looks about the same from a distance.  You can spot a slight difference in shape.  The Gogoalshop one is a bit wider especially at the collar and width.  On the whole it feels like at least half a size bigger. 

Shape of the collar difference.  And the collar trim's material is a bit different too.  But the quality is OK. 

 

Here is where the obvious difference.  At least may be this was a bad Gogoalshop sample, the adidas patch see the cresses on the embroidery. 

While the crest, you can see again the problem with the stitching, the Gogoalshop one is slightly warped at the top.

At the back, all seems OK.

The labels are different but the Gogoalshop one's quality is not bad.  The inside stitching of the original is tidier if you inspect closely.  The stitches themselves are decent on the Gogoalshop one and don't present much discomfort when wearing. 

 

 

Overall the material is good on the Gogoalshop version, it feels a bit thinner than that of the genuine one.  The feel is similar on the surface, somewhat not a bad feature of it being thinner in this case as the genuine one feels a bit thick.  You will also notice, the Gogoalshop one may crease a bit more in nature.

See the stitching is somewhat not as uniformed even though they have even mimicked the production date label inside the collar.

Overall, for 1/3 the price its a decent adaptation and looks / feel OK to wear out.  Just that the sizing is again more loose.  One thing for certain, I would never buy this as a present to anyone and not tell them.  For collectors, I think they can spot the details.  Moving onto the iconic Peru jersey.

 

This looks good from a distance.

 

May be another poor sample but the collar is messed up, the Red trim is warped.  This would have failed quality control on a genuine Umbro product.  Perhaps this was a bad sample.

The embroidery is OK in this sample.  The gold umbro trim on the shoulders looks OK and the transfer seems OK, has survived a few washes but again don't know how long it can last.

The crest is quite smooth in this sample. 

An obvious difference is there is no ventilation mess section at the side near the armpits on this Gogoalshop sample.  The stitching is OK, some loose threads inside but its comfortable to wear and the material feels OK.  I am not sure how much worst is it than the original as at first it felt a bit fakey to touch and it does seem to crease more easily.  I am almost tempted to get hold of an original anyway just to compare.

At the back all looks OK.

Here is another quality issue, the Umbro logo falling off after a couple of washes.  ;-)

 

See it totally falling off.

 

 

But inner labels look and feel good, seems like they have improved their fabrication methods ;-)

Overall, for 1/3 the price I think you get what you paid for.  They are decent from a distance and OK to wear as an alternative.  I see why people buy from them and they seemed to ship pretty quick if they have in stock so another appealing option.  See the quality of their tags are not too bad too.
