I’ve bought the Seattle Sounders Authentic Bruce Lee shirt. Went a size up because it was Slim Fit and thought it would fit like a Large. When I got it, it was huuuuuge. Have to get a Large one now.
So I’ve noticed that the MLS authentic kits are sold both with or without the arm sponsor’s/MLS badge. Any comment or preference at all on either? Great vid btw:)
Thanks for the kind words mate, and apologies for the slow reply from my side! It used to be the case that replica MLS shirts had stitched on, softer/fabric patches (sometimes on one sleeve) whereas authentic MLS shirts had harder/TPU patches on both sleeves. They keep changing the conventions now, so I think replicas often have no patches at all and authentics only have one patch (which isn't as quality), like the one in the video. It's confusing :)
I wouldn't buy just any Authentic MLS jersey but I'm seriously considering the Authentic Inter Miami with Messi nameset. You've put me off slightly afer talking about the difference between aeroready and heat.rdy quality. Do you think the price is worth it for a Messi shirt?
i feel as every MLS shirt being Adidas is boring A very expensive shirt 😅 LA GALAXY are a very well known team in England End of MLS season shirt and Black Friday sale yes You can get them from TJ Maxx - TK maxx in the uk 😊
I'd hope we all get a scarf but wonder if that might be your luck 😄 Think MLS are hedging their bets a little with collectors/supporters. Would've probably brought 3 or 4 of the new seasons shirts at replica price. As the Authentic are the best and correct looking ones I'll probably only buy 1 now (more on principal than not liking the shirt). Only have one authentic shirt over replica in my collection which was Inter Milans Third from a few years back. That said having walking into their shop and seeing the Home in person a few months back and all the details it looked incredible so maybe that's getting picked up 😅. It's not something I would do often though like you say at the end of the video. Not sure on the sales bit though, I was hoping last years Orlando Away would come down in price and be cheaper in sales but it sold out last season and now restocked is still the same price online unfortunately.
yeah if everyone got a scarf that'd be a nice touch, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.. That's the big problem for me. The price is bad enough, but the fact you miss out on so many key features is a kick in the teeth. Definitely something to be selective with, I should probably pick a team myself which would help keep things manageable. And yeah sales don't seem to follow much rhyme or reason. Some shirts sell out, others are available super cheap. I think one of the biggest factors is UK retailers only tend to order in a small selection of teams, and also often at just replica. So they clearly think the demand isn't quite there for a wider range of stock.
I believe it was actually 150 dollars last year for authentics, but you're right that they were around the 130 not long before. The increases haven't led to increases in quality, which is a real shame.

aahh man, I feel your pain! Brands change their sizing so much without warning, it's hard to keep up. Hope all goes ok getting the new size.

Just bought 2009 Barca shirt with messi on it
great pickup! Any Barca shirt with Messi nameset is timeless.
If the price wasn’t literally 160 dollars that’s actually ridiculous that’s like 30
Dollars increase to the regular authentics at 130

This was a great video extremely informative 💯💯
