Rather than hijack the old thread about the Australian kits - thoughts I’d create a new ‘General’ thread here for all clubs/national kits.

First up - Greece going back to Adidas, and maybe even back to the Euros?

No More Nike - Adidas Greece 2026 Away Kit To Feature a New Shade of Blue

Greece's 2026 away uniform will feature a new colorway with a design inspired by one of their 80s shirts.

Adidas Greece 2026 Home Kit Released - No More Nike

Update: A few weeks after the Greece 2026 home kit was made available for sale, Adidas officially launched its Greece partnership.

Also, looks like this monstrosity might be the next monstrosity of Chelsea home jerseys (is 100% a knockoff manufacture, but is already available to purchase):

Leaked Inter Milan away jersey for next year
Not a fan at all. If the pattern was black+blue I’d maybe change my mind. Something with Nike and patterns at the moment that I just don’t enjoy.

But one experiment that I do like - here is England’s kit for the Women’s Euro this year:

Dusky petrol and dark navy for away kit??? Hmmm this might be fun ..... Happy with the change back to addidas... some happy memories obviously.....

WTF is happening over at Nike these days, that Chelsea kit is horrible... it looks like it has leprosy, and someone just pulled off all the bandages...

New Adidas range. Cancelling my Dhgate account as we speak. Some absolute beauties there. Retro Germany. Japan sleek. Wales looks great.

Hungary is solid. Italy just roars class and Mexico just doing what Mexico does.
 
Will be getting both Italy ones should they qualify.

Dhgate not good?

No, I'd need to cancel to exercise some restraint. Running out of space in the wardrobe.

My wife has already told me I need to donate some - that’s a big reason why I get them with my name on the back usually ;)
 
I can't buy from full retail price anymore. I buy all my kits from chinese suppliers. Much cheaper. Quality is about the same and can barely notice a difference. I've had comments on kits I've worn and people didn't realise they were "fakes". Only OG kits I have is the current Socceroos/Matildas Away, '06 Socceroos Home and '10 Socceroos Home. Got the current one for free from a mate who works at Rebel.

Other than that, can't imagine forking out the prices they charge especially when so many of the kit designs are now rinse and repeat, or just change one line or something.

Exactly that. I've held up DHgate kits in the shop and don't see a difference. There are some other shades of fabric around and it sucks to get them but generally they're excellent. I've read that buying directly actually gives the manufacturer a sightly better margin than the wholesale retail companies so I guess it's fair game.
 
The only difference in the Hannover kits are the real ones have minuscule holes for ventilation while the 'fake' ones have the tiniest of dots that look like holes. I think I've seen just as many from DHgate at the stadium as they are the spitting image. Not paying 90€.

I've never used DHgate. Always used a shirt supplier website.

One english media company (can't remember which one) did a thing where they asked fans at the euros if their kits were real. Quote a lot said no, and you honestly couldn't tell the difference.
 
the only times I buy genuine nowadays is when on sell out specials but LFC never is haha
Same applies my sons, if there's a deal yep grab them never RRP.
Lucky mind you getting the nice latest 3rd green LFC kit, my daughters girl friend works @ Rebel.
Got a good discount.
Otherwise copies are very good nowadays as mentioned, who can tell the diff.
 
Yep - last time I bought one like that was the Puma store at the DFO in Canberra had the 2016 Italy shirts out the door for like $20 each - which I think was fresh off not qualifying for the World Cup lol

Last one I bought genuine was the 2023 Matildas set - generally only will do so now if I have a voucher.
