I think it's quality.

This Mexico shirt is a thing of beauty:

The jealousy floweth through my veins.

It's only when you see the likes of the North's jersey a couple of years ago, Athletic's jersey a couple of years ago, that Mexico jersey above, the German jersey a few years ago, that I realise just how crappy some of Umbro's efforts have been.

Even the new one. Should be a corker, but they overcomplicate it with the collar.

[DeLorean]

I think the orange in the collar gives it the umph it needs. They're going for something a little dramatic I think. The Mexico one is class in a more subtle way, I think you might need a Latin American tan to pull off that collar though.

[BonnieShels]

We had this don't forget:

[DeLorean]

Yeah, that was fine. I actually have the long sleeve version. The opening seems wider on the Mexican V-neck, or does it?

[BonnieShels]

It could well be. But I'd wager it seems wider because the collar is thinner.

I have that baby sponsorless and numbered. I will be buried in it. Not joking either.

[DeLorean]

I do too... I could have done with it in a smaller size though but I got it turned up so not too bad. Was that the only jersey ever where there were sponsorless 'contacts', a fair few seemed to avail of it.

Yes/No. There were always some players spares that found there way to the privileged few, but that was the first time I can recall where word went round that the FAI shop was actively selling sponsorless ones in the store. Beautiful jersey too.

I have that baby sponsorless, numberless and short-sleeved. Tis my pride and joy.

[DeLorean]

Just saw the new one in reality and I must say I'm not as impressed as I was with the pictures. The green looks much brighter and the collar is kind of floppy and untidy looking. I'll put my €70 to better use I think.

[brendy_éire]

FAI seriously chancing the arm asking for €70.
AliExpress has the sponsorless tops for €14 delivered, BTW.

Looks like they just tore it off

I got a few kids kits for the young lad (Argie Messi one and a Brazil Neymar one) and the quality was brilliant, took 2-3 weeks to arrive but at around £8 per kit, you can't argue with that. Comes with all the Nike/Adidas labels on and printing etc...

I've heard some come through with poor quality but I guess you have nothing to lose at that price, just try and pick a seller with lots of positive feedback.
