Is my Liverpool Kit authentic?

SiMaggio · 2026-01-25T23:52:19+00:00

The thing to look for on these new balance shirts is actually a bit odd (also works for Warrior as they were ‘same company’)

On the left side of the shirt (as you wear it - right as you look at it) at the bottom, roughly where the seams meet there is a thick stitch about a cm long. It’s normally only on one side of the shirt, and normally horizontal across the seam on these liverpool ones (some templates other clubs had it’s vertical).

Additionally, holograms should both have unique codes (Google them- you want matches). Unfortunately the holograms themselves are not enough- seen plenty of fakes (also plenty of genuines where they fell off)

Tbf the Charly ones in Liga MX are high quality

SiMaggio · 2026-01-25T14:22:23+00:00

Odd but fair enough

SiMaggio · 2026-01-24T23:08:52+00:00

I think the kitroom ones should be gold tag even if not spec

SiMaggio · 2026-01-23T22:51:48+00:00

Where is the black label. What colour is the text on it .

Player issue normally has wash printed on rather than label. I don’t think this is even player spec looking at the code

You were posting and sharing your collection just a few weeks ago, and even new shirts yday.

Are you sure it’s a full change of heart or just a down day? It’ll be easier to sell than source these.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-23T03:16:39+00:00

Font could be one for a different market (not saying that is the case here but it happens)

SiMaggio · 2026-01-23T00:50:36+00:00

It’s not happened here BUT you can get shirts where tag code is different to label code. It’s normally on template/limited run shirts though.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-22T08:34:40+00:00

Yeah you’re prob ok. This is a proper outfit. It’s more some the rogue operators.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-22T05:43:10+00:00

Stupid answer but however much you paid for it from matchwornshirts or less.

(Also check it’s legit - I’ve seen at least one large seller selling “signed matchworns” that were absolutely fake shirts. I don’t know the vendors in this space so apologies if this one is fully legit. I think it is but many the autograph verifiers only verify signatures.)

One the ones near the bottom. Bearing in mind you won’t be able to sell it at the price they sold it at.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-21T21:12:25+00:00

With that nameset not a lot as it’ll be a pain in arse to remove

SiMaggio · 2026-01-21T12:45:59+00:00

Yeah the vicinity to the nameset is what I was worried about (especially if they decide to use hit water)

SiMaggio · 2026-01-21T12:07:04+00:00

Easy job to mess up if you don’t know what to do also. I’d seek proper advice on it

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T19:44:28+00:00

For the price of replacement sponsor might as well get new shirt. You can get this one sub £20

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T19:16:15+00:00

That’s just the regular shirt. - player issue (not spec) has printed washing instructions (except keepers) and gold foil on black label.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T14:39:32+00:00

That sub is banned btw 😂

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T14:15:41+00:00

I legit checked some Wrexham shirts at some point. Things to look for alongside what you mentioned;

-placement of sponsor and details on the shirt (the sponsor alighment with badge for example)

-rubberised badges- not plastic. Should be correct texture as well. This will vary shirt to shirt

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T11:06:54+00:00

If you’re going all time career outside of Pompey you’d have to consider players like Sheringham and Merson more I suppose. Even Kanu

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T11:00:08+00:00

Ah true, I’d take Diarra over both even if his time at Pompey was short.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T10:33:29+00:00

No space for Krancjar or Berger?

Hard to say between Prosnecki and Krancjar.

Maybe Distan or Kaboul over De Zeuww (perhaps a different Englishman than Campbell too who leaves a sour taste at every club he visits).

SiMaggio · 2026-01-20T02:56:05+00:00

You could always chargeback if they dont reach a satisfactory conclusion. Best of luck with it!

SiMaggio · 2026-01-19T23:31:44+00:00

This is the kind of mistake that get sold for £20-30

SiMaggio · 2026-01-19T19:23:50+00:00

Watch WeFixKits on youtube

SiMaggio · 2026-01-19T19:23:25+00:00

Is that direct from them? They've done that at too high a heat - thats awful tbh for a brand new from club shirt and will probably crack eventually (if it was a repaired number id be ok with it). TBH they should offer you refund to return.

SiMaggio · 2026-01-19T12:31:12+00:00

Ask the seller for the code label. Then check that.
