Fake China N98 Nike track top

Here is a sample of a fake N98 track top that can be picked up for 1/6 the price from an official one and some of the attributes you get with a fake.

From a distance its fine and looks good.

Badge is well created.

Quite good swoosh.

Pockets are OK.  But you will notice the zip has a lesser quality about it and the zip lining is noticeably less feel about it.

The sleeves are good replicated

An obvious defect is the main zipper.  It the wrong way round.  Its got no logo and its nowhere as smooth as the real ones.  Not YKK or SBS, CMZ quality to say the least.

The collar is also less shaped.  The Nike label is not sown 100% symmetrically.

The top end of the zip is of poor quality and its edges are a bit sharp and not smoothened out, so you need to chisel them down a bit to stop it from irritating your chin.

From the back it looks fine.

Wobbly logo.

Pockets from the inside are sewm with a line seam.  This is obviously a fake quality.

Inner labels are actually quite decent.

As mentioned previously, the sleeves are quite well made.  The material is OK but its noticeably worst than the real one.  Its a bit thinner and not as airy.  The cut of the top at the waist is also probably more oversized than the real one.  It definitely may had cut its elasticity at the waist, making it a lesser tuck to the waist and giving it a worst fit when compared to the real N98s.

Overall for a fraction of the price, its decent and looks OK from a distance.  Just don't expect it to be perfect.

Paraguay 2010 world cup away shirt

A blast from the past, picked up in an outlet sale for a bargain price.

2010 design, quite retro look almost these days.

The mess material mixed.

The extra long and wide sleeve back in 10.

Wide loose cut.

Nice touch with the motto.

Some diagonal trims across front and back.  A very decent shirt from the 10 era.

UAE Adidas home shirt

Another lucky dip and another interesting find from a local store.  Now how did they get this in stock and on sale at such a great price.

Shirt is pretty standard adidas Morona template using a crew neck collar.

Nice badge.  As always the highlight of getting hold of these exotic shirts.

As otherwise because its with one of the major brands, it rather bland.

The helm is a bit narrower than the ones found on the Paraguay, Colombia 15 shirts.

From the back it looks pretty straight forward.  Overall, the material is good as its adidas standard.  Otherwise it is very boring standard template and then wack the badge on affair.  Seems like the usual treatment for the non mega teams.  Emiratis deserve better and I think they would get a much more well designed shirt if it was made by local brand Romai who I think seemed to make cool shirts.  Or look at what FBT, Grand Sports or Mafro can do, it puts these bland design to shame and the downside of having a big brand for a non mega team.

Laos FBT shirt

This is somewhat a older less evolved template by FBT.  The design generally looks a bit less up to date.

It has a double v neck

Crest is transferred rather than embroided.  This was supposedly a players version.  Its a cool crest design.

Off the shelf like sleeves and I guess the band at the shoulder gives it a bit of character.

The material is OK, a bit thicker than usual.

Closer look at the collar.

Nothing weird from the back.  A very interesting "what is this" shirt and not the best or by far not tge worst.  Its fit is quite good and it will certainly raise a few eyebrows.  With FBT coming up with better designs now, be interesting to see a more modern shirt they will do for Laos.

Vietnam Grand Sport shirt

Another Grand Sport shirt this time for Vietnam and it is quite decent looking.

Safe stars dotted around and nice variation on the crew neck, a bit like the Ecuador shirt of 2013.

Great sleeve shape and colour combination.  Looks great to wear.

Authentic tags is well.

Quite safe from the back.  A very decent safe shirt.  Its a great fit and the material is good.  I think Grand Sport have done a great job doing decent shirts for South East Asia countries.  This is far better than what the major brands would have done.  The only problem with this shirt is if only the Vietnam FA had put their crest onto the shirt which would have looked even cooler than just having the flag.  Great price, quality and design.

Thailand Grand Sport shirt

Another great shirt from a Thai manufacturer Grand Sports.  It is smart and effort was made to make a decent shirt for Thailand.  Probably a lot better than what the major brands would have done.  I think this was a shirt used in 2016 and has since been replaced by a black colour shirt made by Warrix another manufacturer from Thailand.

It has a collar and buttons.

Fantastic crest.  Lovely elephant..

Smart sleeve and cuffs.  There are some ventilation holes by the side.

Closer look at the collar.

Nice touch at thr back of the collar.

The stripe shade pattern is cool and its a smart shirt.  Its well shaped and sized slightly smaller for Asia, its a good fit for a slim look.  The material is decent and it is a well made shirt and extremely economical price.  I got it with the original tags and its original price was 990 Baht that's around 30 USD.  Its a quality shirt and as good as any other manufacturer from a first glance.  I hope more teams can go to these Thai manufacturers as they are truelly the better value choice and it looks good to wear too.
