It sucks to have to point this out, but "schweinsteiger" is misspelled.
In addition, one of the S's is upside down, likely the first one, and the number is off center quite a bit to the left, but those are moot points given the spelling error.
They are legit and run practically every official store for the major sports leagues in the USA, including MLS. They are not affiliated with Lids.
They also recently purchased Kitbag. On the US Fanatics site you will see some soccer items marked as "manufacturer direct"-- what they mean by this...
np. Hope it works out.
As an aside, the exchange rate for the euro and even the British pound now makes it possibly cheaper to order things like jerseys from abroad rather than buying domestically.
From what I can tell, the "heroID" printing is authentic. It doesn't seem like they have Euro sleeve patches for it, though, if you were looking for that as well.
I haven't heard of a lot of issues with them not having stock, but I personally had an issue of being charged for something that...

I would double check before ordering and email them and ask if the jersey is truly in stock. I bet it is, as it's the current year.
They ship from...
They are legit, but they are spotty when it comes to actually carrying stock of what they sell as "in stock". Thus you may or not get what you order in a timely fashion or even at all, and if you do in fact have issues, their customer service is, by all accounts, absolutely horrible.
Stay away...
Check out this guys channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCHn3qPqp6guHUWAAdvCNy8Q
He reviews jerseys and gives size measurements, and also compares measurements between different sizes and between replica and authentic.

Great video comparing the differences in size between Nike Match (authentic) jerseys from last year and the new Vapor Match jerseys from this year:
Support this guys channel (Ray Hope Soccer). He does a great job with his reviews, detailing the jersey's measurements (he usually wears a...
If they sign with a sponsor soon, there's still plenty of time for Nike to produce jerseys with the sponsor print that should be out for the general public to buy by December or so at the latest.
At the very least, you can bet that the Barca team store will modify their stock of shirts ASAP...
That indeed is the important point to make-- even when you differentiate between player issue and authentic retail versions, the distinctions can vary to the point of there being no difference at all.
For example, currently in MLS, the players wear the "authentic" version adizero jerseys that...
If I were messaging that kuhhrisma guy, I'd like to know why he's always wearing the same damn shirt for the intro of *every* video.
People would ask him in the comments of his videos, and hilariously he would flip out on them, getting super defensive. He told one guy who asked him that he must...
At your shop you can personally tell them how you want it printed. Plus the Waldo has a big white box on the back and surrounding hoops to help orient the print.
If you watch the way jerseys are wrapped onto a heat press and lined up to have a print on top, it's a miracle that the average schlub working in a warehouse can get the print even close to straight. There's just no attention to detail when these stores print. It's ridiculous.
That's why I...
I'll echo Atmos -- I made a previous post about how bad kitbag is too. Look in my post history.
Kitbag is definitely a different company than SDC/worldsoccershop. They are overseas so it's harder to deal with faulty prints, though their customer service is more willing it seems to fix...
Here's something else that soccer dot com / worldsoccershop does in a really sloppy manner:
You will find on a lot of their jerseys and other apparel that in processing the products at the warehouse they will cut open the factory bag a little bit so that they can reach in, access the hang tag...
