question about soccer jerseys

[needsomejays]

anyone know a good place online to buy authentic soccer jerseys? also how do they fit compared to an nba or nfl jersey

 

[ronald0]

onionbag(excellent site) or subside sports(great selection of shirts)

As far as fit it really depends...Nike seems to be moving towards more compression/slim fitting shirts. What size do you usually wear?

 

[damnthosejs]

- go to the team's website...even champs/FL sells them
- fit would depend on the current style/design of the jersey. some jerseys fit tight (AS ROMA) compared to OK- a bit more loose (Current Brazil kit). You gottatry them on stores

PS
what's up with England's current kit (U-21 I think)?

The returnof colared kits?

 

[needsomejays]

well i usually like my stuff a little bit bigger, so i like to go with a large usually with my other jerseys

 

[ronald0]

You probably want to go a size up for sure.

Most soccer jerseys fit more slim.

 

[xxjaguar25xx]

They fit like regular shirts
They don't even really feel like jerseys except for the material
And this where I go to get mine ..... world cup soccer

 

[needsomejays]

alright, thanks for the help guys

 

[needsomejays]

how often do they get new jerseys? i see some for 08-09 and then new ones for 09-10

 

[damnthosejs]

every year. national kits may last a bit longer, but club kits every year most of the time.

Setanta sells authentic jerseys.

They're only the biggest soccer/rugby broadcasting network in the world.

^From the looks of it Setanta sells replicas just like everybody else.

By replicas I mean the most authentic soccer jersey available from retail. It's confusing but the soccer jerseys for retail are labeled as replicas butessentially are as authentic as you can usually find. True authentics (i.e. gamers) are labelled "Code 7" and are rare to be available at retail, butsome sites do carry them for a higher price. They usually are made of a different material and sometimes have an extra layer inside. This is similar to how NFLjerseys work. Retail authentics are not made of the same cut and sometimes material as the gamers that are worn on the field.

In other words, if the jersey retails for $65-70, it's likely the "replica" which is as authentic as you can get. In fact it's the only typeof jersey available. Soccer jerseys don't have cheaper replica versions (i.e. there is no "Swingman" version in soccer). Code 7 kits usually gofor above $100+ before lettering.

National teams seem to change every 2-4 years to coincide with the bigger tournaments (World Cup, Euros, etc). Club teams usually change their home kits every2 years and their away kits every year, at least that's what Arsenal does. They will be labeled with the years, for example Arsenal's home kit thisyear is the 08-10 and their away is 09-10.

Price-wise, the best place to get them is from eastbay or Nike/Reebok/adidas's website when they go on sale, I've been able to get the past 3-4 Arsenalkits that way for under $40 apiece

Size-wise, I would definitely go up a size or at least your t-shirt size. For reference I wear XXL in t-shirts, 52/54 in baseball, 54 in football, and XXL insoccer fits just right. If you want it baggy and you normally wear L the smallest I'd go is XL.

Here are some other good sites, some which were mentioned:
www.onionbag.com
www.subside.us.com
www.soccer.com
www.kitbag.com
www.worldsoccershop.com

For sizing, I wear a large in normal clothes, and I have a large Netherlands team jersey from Nike, and it fits perfectly. So if you're looking for a sizeup, go XL.

Think the site administrator stopped maintaining the site. Most people migrated to jerseycentral.org.

I like it. I prefer the navy/blue-based Arsenal kits versus the yellow ones.

Subside sells some Code 7 kits, I think that's the only place I've seen them.
