Fake shirts

[WhiteHawk]

Well it looks the part, obviously I cant comment on the weight. It would be nice to get my hands on something else tonight but that wont be happening lol.

Looks good though, as I say the copies are often much better than they used to be, good watches in their own right.

I found a website a while ago that sold them for about £150-£200. Clearly stated they were replicas but it looked a really professional site, fantastic galleries for everything they had on sale, pretty impressive. Wanted to order one but never got round to it and the site has gone now

I'd quite like a couple more nice watches, I like the Rolex Daytona, but can't see me ever being in China/Hong Kong/India to buy one

I can't tell the difference between real and fake

Well done, prick. People read the forum at work you know?

Lending a Turkish or Chinese bloke a shirt for 1 hour isn't going to cost the club millions, when gary from Heeley goes to marmaris and picks one up for 100 lira. If anyone wanted to copy one, you could just use the pictures they have on the website?

I agree that there are many ways they can make fake copies - but the realistic "fake" copies are made from taking the original item and copying it closely, down to fine detail. To do this they'd need to get their hands on an original copy. So, I'm not laying the blame for worldwide fake copies of our shirts at the door of one poster off here - but I am saying it wasn't a very clever thing to do - and to come on here and tell us all about it was even dafter! I hope the kid has read the article and realises now that it's not a smart thing to help counterfeiters produce copies of our club shirts. They will find a way for sure - but let's not go out of our way to help them. That's my message.

Sheffield United fans warned over fake Blades shirts as counterfeits flood the market following promotion to Premier League - club vow to protect brand against fakers

Sheffield United have vowed to continue to protect their brand against counterfeiters after a swell of fake Blades shirts flooded the market following promotion to the Premier League.

www.thestar.co.uk

Article in the Star saying the club are being inundated with counterfeit copies of the shirts and are going to clamp down on it.

They could start on this forum by identifying the kid who proudly told us all he'd lent someone his original Blades shirt whilst on holiday, for an hour, so they could copy it?

That "bright spark" has cost the club thousands, if not millions, in lost revenue. I do hope he won't mind when the club cancel his season ticket and give him a lifetime ban?

I thought the only place to buy a Blades shirt is the club shop/ online shop.

Not sure how people have the nerve to contact the club about fake shirts...

Bought the fake, seemed decent but the lighter colour, old badge and tight fit made me buy the official one, at first I thought I liked it but I'm not impressed tbh, massive USG sponsor on the sleeve is quite, well.. Shit, isn't it? After wearing the official one only 3 times it has a few bobbles and feels generally quite cheapo, except it was £55! If the Thai dudes would have got the badge, colouring and silky bits right on the fake, I would have DEFINITELY gone with that.

USG is such a shit sponsor, roll on next seasons kit...

What makes a sponsor shit exactly?

Your opinion/preference of big shite union jack logos..

Away shirt replicas are absolute dog shit. Believe me. Do not buy a replica. I’ve seen the ones from Vietnam,Thailand and supposedly China (in reality probably thialand). Nothing on the real ones.
Have decent contacts but from an away shirt point of view, my lad has a legit one.

He took it to the local female watchmaker he knows. Full strip down and clean. Cost $2.

Sounds great, fnarr, fnarr, what happend to the watch though?

I once bought some fake Adidas training gear from a little Chinese man on holiday.

Why I wasn't sued for costing Adidas tens of millions in revenue I'll never know...

There's a universally recognised equation for this problem:

If sponsor != Wards and sponsor != Laver then sponsor=shit

Well done, prick. People read the forum at work you know?

Then stop slacking and do some work.

He took it to the local female watchmaker he knows. Full strip down and clean. Worked perfectly ever since. Cost $2.

Nice one. What did she do with the warch?

She gave it a good servicing.

Not exactly the point is it, or ever heard of a lunch break?

Hmmm those Latina girls

Its like the fuss over fake watches. As if anyone buying a fake Rolex for £50 is costing the company ten grand because they didn't buy a real one. People buy fakes for a laugh, it doesn't cost anyone anything.

Why buy a fake Rolex? You can buy a cheap watch instead. Same for fake clothing. People are just kidding themselves buying fake anything.

Yeah, yeah on a lunch break.

And why call me a prick?

Because I choose to. What is your aversion to this and why does it wind you up so much?

Because you had zero consideration for people who like to waste time at work on these forums.
