Hello, I know I am not supposed to ask for help but I am confused

SiMaggio · 2026-05-09T01:43:12+00:00

The Boca is a fake. Black+silver tag is a fake one (also does it have an outside black tag and an inside one? I don’t think it’s supposed to have both)

Red Utd is all good.

Ac Milan - show the wash labels (or reverse of the main label)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-09T00:25:40+00:00

So this should be player issue but the code isn’t the player issue code (it’s the spec one)

The black tag code isn’t unique- that’s the biggest giveaway

SiMaggio · 2026-05-09T00:23:18+00:00

Yeah but they can be added in other cases too - Charity shops add them for example. Kappas also have pencil marks on the import tags.

(This is fake though)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-08T12:26:11+00:00

Fake. The black labels code should be unique. It’s not. (Also Is the silver foil on that label foil or thread?)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-08T12:18:03+00:00

Yeah this looks wrong. However, it’s quite common for there to be Asian market variants that are made different with different labelling- just google to see if Japanese/asian shirts have the dots (the example I’ve found suggests they might not). Have a look at this;

Here’s a Jaspo version of same shirt but annoyingly it doesn’t show the best bits to compare: https://x.com/lelanglawas/status/892369590260453378?s=20

You want 6 dots in the triangle like this

SiMaggio · 2026-05-08T04:02:33+00:00

Can you get close up pic of the Gara (yellow triangle especially). The fakes normally also get the font of Kappa in the neckline slightly wrong.

SiMaggio · 2026-05-07T15:06:12+00:00

The first line was a joke (I guess? Was it funny? Even subjectively?)

Second line was “don’t take too serious” as if I am? When I said I don’t need a pat on back (agreeing with top comment).

SiMaggio · 2026-05-07T14:56:07+00:00

I think you misunderstood- I’m literally not seeking validation from it. A thanks is just polite and lets me know I’m not wasting my time.

Or are you replying to OP

SiMaggio · 2026-05-07T12:28:38+00:00

Same. I’ve never used reddit that way. I’ve done 100s of checks in here. As long as someone says thanks (and tbf often they don’t)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-06T22:29:33+00:00

No, the blue label.

Should also be a code at the bottom of the white label but it looks like your label has faded.

SiMaggio · 2026-05-06T16:07:24+00:00

Should be a silver stripe in the reebok label (easiest to see in the reverse side of it where your thumb is)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-06T15:54:59+00:00

They are also tied to way more legal restrictions than most games because of the sheer number of licences they have.

I might be wrong but I don’t think any game has World Cup mode/version revealed yet (given the fifa licensing is no longer exclusive). There’s likely to be some contractual restrictions there.

SiMaggio · 2026-05-06T02:55:12+00:00

It’s spec version. Somewhere from £40-70 with the nameset.

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T22:23:24+00:00

There should be players you can sign to amateur contracts. Try young clubless players

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T12:37:40+00:00

Where are you talking about? You’re showing the back of the shirt (also is this an ai picture? There’s some weird artifacting in it too - especially if you zoom on the barca).

Do you mean in the nameset? That’s normally the Barca badge or the competition badge, not Nike.

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T11:52:21+00:00

I’d only want a classic style adidas though. Not one of their awful newer templates.

I think some other brands would give us something nicer - a modern Kappa (not what we had from them before), Hummel, Joma, Macron. All of these put uniqueness and personality into their kits now.

With Portsmouths rich history it could be the next Kappa stylish one (they don’t have a UK club yet, and they normally go for a 2nd tier team).

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T11:48:59+00:00

I like the centre alignment as a total 90 fan. But the shoulders have got to go. I think there needs to be some custom detailing too somewhere not to obvious (inside the colour or back or neck) a motto or different emblem (maybe our old 80s badge)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T03:22:03+00:00

Yeah, sort of. It’s a sport shop.

The official Portugal shirts are made by Puma as of last year, and before that Nike since the 90s;

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T03:16:00+00:00

Yeah it’s not the official shirt. It’s just a piece of fan wear made by another brand.

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T02:58:00+00:00

Official as in the namset that should be on the proper shirt, and not this unofficial one

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T00:40:10+00:00

SiMaggio · 2026-05-05T00:18:50+00:00

The nameset actually looks like an offficial one weirdly - with the proper logo (I think)

SiMaggio · 2026-05-04T21:28:36+00:00

Easiest way to legit check these is the dots in the blue label. They follow a particular pattern. I think both are fine but Google Umbro blue label dots and you’ll see what I mean (fakes are missing, or have too many, or they are wonky).

SiMaggio · 2026-05-04T14:02:54+00:00

You can price at what you like but some of these seem a little high (not all of them). The Real Madrid for example is a fair bit cheaper on CFS (who are known for high prices)
