Popular Directions Right Now

Home Kits

Primary colorways with full crest and sponsor. Check crest dimension against official specs.

Away & Third Kits

Alternative colorways often have different collar styles. Verify the collar type matches the season.

Retro & Vintage

Classic re-issues. Look for correct era-specific fonts and collar shapes.

Player Issue

Slimmer fits with performance fabrics. These run smaller than standard replica sizing.

Buying Tips

Name Set Application

Heat-pressed name sets sit flatter and last longer than cheaper alternatives. Ask your agent to verify application type.

Sponsor Print

Sponsor logos are often the first thing to crack or peel. Check the print edges in QC photos.

Badge Type

Embroidered badges have more texture. Woven or TPU badges are flatter but can be more accurate in color.

QC Checklist

Crest Alignment

The crest should sit centered on the chest. Even a 1cm offset is visible when worn.

Number Spacing

Back numbers should have consistent spacing between digits. Check against reference photos.

Collar Tag

The internal collar tag should list the correct size, season, and washing instructions. Blurry or generic tags are red flags.

Side Vent

Many modern kits have side vents or mesh panels. Check that these are present and symmetrical.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

Mistake: Assuming all jerseys fit the same

Fix: Player issue, replica, and vintage re-issues all have different cuts. Read the specific fit notes in the spreadsheet.

Mistake: Ordering namesets from different sellers

Fix: Name sets and jerseys from different sources may have slightly different color tones. Order from the same source when possible.
