WOW, I didnt realize how much I bought from him

01-01-2004, 05:23:AM
for authentic? do you mean the actual double layer shirts worn by the players? i don't really know many sites that offer those. like kitbag will have the real deal, but they're still replicas. not as in fakes but as in "not the actual 2 layered jerseys worn by players". they're still the official jerseys sold by the clubs or whatnot.

someone asked for gimako. yea, they're fake but they look damn real and they're cheap. i really can't justify paying 70 dollars for jerseys, unless it's for the club or team i really really support. but the golden rule is you get what you pay for. gimako's got cheap prices but they look damn real. and he does a great job with the custom lettering and the shipping.

m3th0d
01-01-2004, 05:51:AM
yeah, i'd never spend that much money on a jersey.. only if i REALLY REALLY support that particular team, but even if.. i probably wouldn't.

and that's because i found gimako. most of the time i'd definitely pick quality over quanitity w/ the stuff i buy but wit' gimako it's both. more 'close-to-authentic jerseys' for a relatively inexpensive price, now that's hard to beat.

think about it.. most ppl out there can't pay 80-100 bucks for one shirt. well some can, but aren't too willing. well, i'm a lover of football and i like to buy shirts of great footballers from all over the world, not just the team i support. and the best way to do this is to buy shirts that look almost real for almost nothing - gimako.

01-01-2004, 05:54:AM
Hey that site weston.com.sg is awesome, it has the real Roma jersey that they sell at asroma.it and it is only $50 but the shipping cost kills it, if you don't leave in Singapore it is $20.

I don't get their seizes though, can someone help. I am 182cm and 80kg so should I get L or XL?

Coon
01-01-2004, 06:46:AM
OK, let me help you hear because I do work for a soccer shop. There are three models of soccer jerseys, and here they are:

Authentic - jerseys that are exactly like those of the real players that wear them to their games. These are usually made out of Nike Dri-fit which usually has 2 layers and the best material that there is. Authentics usually go for over $100.

Official Replica - these are jerseys that you see at most sites going for about $55-70 USD. They are the second best thing and are probably the most common jerseys that people buy. These shirts are also made out of Nike Dri-fit and Adidas Climacool but only have one layer. They are very nice and are officially from the clubs and the real trademarks such as Adidas and Nike.

Replica - these are fake jerseys, such as those sold on Gimako. I do not suggest that you buy these, especially if you are in the States. These shirts are ILLEGAL to buy and sell here. They are "supposebly" legal in Asia but that is about it. These shirts also do not come from Adidas or Nike directly, they are fakes that only have their trademark symbols on them. The quality is nothing compared to the official or authentic replicas and all of these jerseys feel the same when it comes to the material. Officials are different and feel like the real deal... much better therefore.

I hope that helps some of you. If you need more details, just let me know and I will post them for you.

01-01-2004, 08:42:AM
Let's see I've ordered like 5 times from Gimako in past 5 months, and I'm planning to buy some more jerseys from them at least once every other month.

The quality is great considering what you pay for

The jerseys ship 2 to 3 days after you ordered them with lettering and such and takes a week more for you to get them if you live in the US

I now have 11 jerseys from them and have ordered over 7 more for friends

so with that I HIGHLY recommend them

I would rather have myself THREE jerseys from them than to buy ONE official REPLICA

edit: oh yeah, i just remembered that I made an ordered on sunday and was shipped yesterday, cant wait for them.

for those that are wondering about Gimako, I'd say ordered from them and you wont be dissapointed witht the service


edit 2: for those who have jerseys from Gimako and official jerseys, I was wondering is there a big difference on them?

So that means if you buy a NT jersey it don't matter right? :rolleyes:

Granted, I'm all about supporting your club. But if your club is say I dunno... CHELSEA and a ******* billionaire do they need your money that badly? The only time I ever buy the authentics are for NT jerseys, and also for my beloved Beira-Mar everyone else seems to have all the money in the world my 70 dollars(which BTW: if you buy from kitbag or whatever your money DOESN'T go to the club) wouldn't make a damned difference to them.

I'm sorry I'm just tired of having people say oh the club needs the money **** yeah Chelsea needs my 70 bucks I know they do. And like I said even if I bought it from subside or kitbag the money wouldn't go to Chelsea. Only if you buy it from Chelsea itself.

right on,

I would rather much pay a third of that fraction to someone that can make me a GOOD -fake- jersey, example gimako, and if it's a really good one then they deserved all that money for putting the time and effort in it

I mean come on, if i was to get two jerseys from say kitbag, that would be 140+, I would rather much have my self 7 jerseys which wouldnt make much of a difference in looks between an official and a fake to most people.

Go through the order process and you should find the shipping cost. It's probably around $10. I don't know about the service because I never ordered but you can search around the forum for the term "gimako" and you should find plenty of comments. Anyways, they only have those large sizes because they are the only ones that are available. They don't make the shirts in that quality in any other size, so you better fit in or you'll be screwed. Well, you can hang the shirt on the wall if you want.
