Cheap football kits

I ordered a few kits for myself and my son. My third kit is more of an off white with a waffle texture while my sons is white and smooth. Then I noticed at the last game there seems to be two different tones to that kit, anyone know the difference? Is one a player version or supporters kit?
Waffle texture is player version. Off-white is the accurate colour.
 
Correcting myself. I probably should have sized it 2 sizes up. Length wise, it's fine but it's a little snug around the belly (I am 6'0" tall and 208lbs carrying a little too much around the waist).
Thanks this is really helpful, I'll go with 2 sizes up.

I found this useful for ordering from China. Not sure if it applies to all distributers, but it does with kitmm from where I ordered and received tops from.
 
Has anyone tried those mystery boxes on dhgate? There's a guy selling 30 random kits for 350 euros already shipped. I'm going to an event that will have a bunch of kids in a footie tournament and this could be a way to get them a gift. Will I get kits from well known clubs or random 3rd kits and unknown clubs?

From what I’ve seen at least 90% random 3rd kits and unknown clubs. At best it’ll be a couple well known clubs shirts which were rejected for loose threads and misaligned prints or last season shirts they are trying to flog. At almost €12 a shirt it doesn’t even sound that good a deal, should be closer to €9 if not better considering the quantity.

Check soccer00 on Reddit. There are lots of reviews and some of the mystery boxes mentioned.
 
Ive been getting from dhgate now for years, but i think im going to call it a day with the cheapo football shirts from there.. maybe apart from the odd retro one.

7/8 out of 10 of the last ones i have got, the sizing has been all over the place. with the main issue always being the neck/collar being too big/wide and out of proportion to the shirt. Got this years long sleeve top there and its like and XL neck on a M shirt.

I wanted to try that soccer04 website, as my mate, said its spot on. But its stopped doing paypal, and its now only accepting visa/mastercard payments, and its not secure checkouts, so absolutely no chance im sticking my bank details onto there.
 
Just a warning about Soccer03 or 04 or whatever. I ordered 3 kits from them, of which only 2 were actually in the parcel. Of those 2, one is decent but the other one is terrible, with several visible imperfections and very poor materials. I tried contacting them several times both on email and WhatsApp to tell them about the missing shirt but haven't heard back from them in weeks. I seem to have no luck whatsoever with knockoffs, and I have tried most of the best reviewed sellers/websites.
