I think they’re ruining it for me a bit. There’s what looks like a fold over at the top then another half way down.80s Adidas United socks.

That’s so annoying. The subtle stripes make it for me, just a red t-shirt without but who is going to spend £100 on a flipping t-shirt?!!Based off the website. Looks like the Authentic Version ($130) has the stripes:
And the regular version ($90) is plain/dots:
Sidenote: Already starting to grow on me!
You don’t have to?That’s so annoying. The subtle stripes make it for me, just a red t-shirt without but who is going to spend £100 on a flipping t-shirt?!!
¿Qué?You don’t have to?
It has long sleeves?The undershirt combo looks hideous. Bring back long sleeves!
With a better looking sponsor this could have been Adidas’ version of the iconic Nike 07-09 kit.
Spend £100 on a T-shirtQue?
I won’t. But it’s wrong that something as fundamental as stripes isn’t on a ‘replica’ shirt. If it’s not the same the it’s not a replica, just an alternative.Spend £100 on a T-shirt
No you can order them online so you don't have to que.¿Qué?
Of course.Denis Law's signature goal celebration.
The shirt is a remake of the 1960s one he wore, and he always held his hand up like that when he scored.
I mean players wearing it regularly again.It has long sleeves?
The official PL font must be used in the PL but for other competitions you're allowed to have an alternative. So for Europe and domestic cups etcWhats with the different font typesets for the players names on the back? The website shows that horrible gothic style font as well as the more traditional style...
And I'm confused - is it just the players version with stripes? Really prefer it without the stripes myself...
The authentic kit looks class. The replica looks boring shite.
authentic, above
replica above
It's the first time I see such big difference between replica and authentic kits. Normally there's no aesthetic differences bar the badge (stitched vs printed). The authentics are usually just much better fabrics for the athlete's sake. But here you can see the difference is quite visible on the shirt itself and at the collar and sleeve-ends. They are like two entirely different kits to me.
Authentic: £100
Replica: £65
Ah, makes sense, thanks.The official PL font must be used in the PL but for other competitions you're allowed to have an alternative. So for Europe and domestic cups etc
No problem. That'll be £5.00 please.Ah, makes sense, thanks.

I've noticed so many of the modern kits have like textured patterns on the authentic version. The England kit definitely did and yes, annoyingly they look a lot higher quality as a result. I also remember the 2016 shirt looking far far better in the authentic version.There shouldn't be that much difference between the replica and authentic. Seems as if they're wanting consumers to buy the authentic version. l
If you had studied harder at school you'd be able to afford it.I actually like this years, but 100 quid? No thanks
Earn a very good salary, WFH. I’m alright budIf you had studied harder at school you'd be able to afford it.
You've only got yourself to blame
Guess you have to wait a little while. Both versions are usually available on the United store siteAm I blind or there is not a chance to buy autentic version on United site and they are only selling replicas ?
i prefer the plain version without stripes buuut that Crest looks much better on autentic one
That kit was based on the ones Liverpool wore in the 1960s. Our new kit is based on the one we wore in the 1960s.At first glance, not a fan. Just reminds me of this.

I think plenty of people wear them casually, whether that's younger people as well? That said they seem to wear them far more in Newcastle. I wouldn't wear one but there are a few classics I'd love to have in collection. When I used to buy them, authentic kits and replicas look identical. I think Umbro might have changed that - the difference in the badges.I've noticed so many of the modern kits have like textured patterns on the authentic version.

The big idea/challenge for manufacturers is to get fans wearing the shirts casually again and to secure the younger audience. For me personally, if I'm spending £100 I'd rather get something timeless, say the treble shirt, from Classic Football Shirts with an Iconic player name on the back.
Really disappointing that. Agree with you in that the authentic kit looks amazing, and the replica just doesn't appeal at all; almost looks like a knockoff. Don't want the replica, can't afford the authentic.The authentic kit looks class. The replica looks boring shite.
