These cut-price team shirts.....

Has anyone seen the adverts for cut-price 'genuine' 25-26 season City team shirts? I've seen links to their website on both Facebook and Twitter, and wondered if anyone had taken the plunge and ordered one. The blurb says that they come from the same factory, and made from the same materials as the originals, and to be fair, they look exactly the same. (Sorry, I can't find a link, but I'm sure someone else will).
So...has anyone bought one, and if so what are they like? Are they any good?
And also, I wonder what the club thinks about this? How do they get away with it?

I got a few last year ( from 3 sellers )

This is only about the ones I got last year and I guess others could be different

the material is the same as the clubs ones, the only thing we found is the transfers come off alot more than the genuine ones, they are washed the same ( low temp ) and worn the same ( socially and to football training ) after about 6 months the Visit Malaysia started to peel ( no drama, just peeled of off and the glue went in a few washes )

It's highly unlikely that they are genuine and for a number of reasons.

I ordered this seasons away shirt for me and my son from Fineballofficial in the first week of July. £13 ish i think they were. Genuine Thai quality apparently.
Last week I got a refund as they cancelled my ordered.

I know someone who has one via the FB ad and he is very happy with it although he thought for a while he had been "had" due to the delivery lead time.

I haven’t bought any through Facebook, agree not sure how they get away with it, when I add any “make” clothes on marketplace they get taken off for breaching policy and counterfeit even though they aren’t! But they allow paid for adverts of blatantly fake kits..

That aside weÂ’ve bought loads the last few years from a Chinese app, not sure if allowed to mention it here / how legit it is? TheyÂ’ve all been outstanding copies, even having identical tags etc. I wouldnÂ’t be able to tell as detailing is so good. As someone else said, a couple have had the letters come off sooner, but they were in the minority. ItÂ’s a massive saving when kids grow out of them so quickly

I've bought a few over the years from a Thai website and I couldn't tell the difference.
