Soccer being the number one sport in the world, a wide variety of jerseys are loved by soccer fans. Facing so many different kinds of jerseys, how can we find the best one for ourselves? First of all, we need to know the types of soccer jerseys. Soccer jerseys are divided into Match Worn, Match Issued/Match Prepared, Authentic/Player Version, Replica/Fans Version.
Match Worn refers to the jerseys worn by players in official matches, which are not sold in normal sales channels and are usually auctioned off in the form of auctions. It has the highest price of all types of soccer jerseys.
Match Issued/Match Prepared is a player's spare jersey for the match, in case the first jersey is can't be replaced after it has been torn in the high intensity confrontation of the match. The material, player number, name and all other details are the same as match worn jersey, the only difference is that the player has not worn it in an official match. This is basically the jersey that players give to a few lucky fans after the match.
The above two types of soccer jerseys are less accessible to ordinary fans in their daily lives, and more often purchased are authentic and replica soccer jerseys.
Authentic soccer jerseys are also called player version jersey, compared to replica soccer jerseys, it has a better wearing comfort, the fabric is more lightweight, soft and breathable, for example, Adidas player version of the jersey using the climachill technology. The player's version of the jersey has the team logo printed with thermal offset, and the overall cut is slimmer, with the waist usually having a waist-skimming design, which has higher requirements for the wearer's body type and is more suitable for professional athletes to wear in the game.
Replica soccer jerseys are also called fan edition jerseys, which have a looser fit and fit most people's body types, and can be used in daily life.The fan version jersey fabric has basic comfort, compared to the player version jersey fabric is stiffer and a little less breathable, for example, Adidas' fan version soccer jersey uses the climacool technology. It also has a team logo that is embroidered and has a certain foreign body feel.Although the fan version of the soccer jersey has a lot of disadvantages compared to the player version, it has low body requirements and is suitable for all ordinary soccer fans, and its selling price is usually 50 percent of the player version jersey, and there are considerable discounts during the holidays, which makes the fan version of the jersey the first choice for soccer fans.

How To Identify Real And Fake Jerseys?
With hundreds of millions of soccer fans around the world, such a huge market for jerseys also makes it possible for fakes to proliferate, and we need to be careful to identify the real ones when buying soccer jerseys. The following sections will make it simple for us ordinary soccer fans to grasp the identification of real and fake jerseys.
Collar Label
Genuine jersey collar labels have clear and beautiful printed fonts, and the edges of the fonts are very smooth. The collar labels of fake jerseys are made of thinner printing material, resulting in a duller display after printing and many flaws on the edges of the fonts.
Team Logo
The authentic jerseys of the major brands are generally authorized to be processed by the more comprehensive strength of the OEM, their machines high-end, skilled turners, so there will be a better display effect in the sewing alignment of the team logo, the details of the letters. The fake jerseys are made by various small factories against the authentic jerseys, and there will be various small problems, such as the alignment position of the letters, the smoothness of the edges of the letters, etc.
Sponsor Logo
The offset sponsor logo at the front chest also plays an important role in the identification. Authentic jerseys use a thicker offset material and a purer color, while fake jerseys have a thinner offset material and poorer quality, and the white part will be a little yellowish. When we touch the whole logo with our hands, we can clearly feel the difference.
Team Logo At The Back Neckline
It is basically the same as the identification method of the collar label, mainly observing the flatness of the edges of the font and the overall display effect.
Wash Mark And Hang Tag
Genuine jerseys have a special wash mark material, touching the texture of silk, fake jerseys have a harder wash mark material, and the touch is more inclined to the paper stamp. At the same time, the style number on genuine jersey's washing water label is same as the number on jersey's hangtag, printed content is clear and complete. And the majority of the style numbers on the wash mark of the fake jerseys are different from the ones on the hangtags.
Through the identification of the above parts, we can probably tell whether a jersey is a genuine jersey or not. Of course the safest way to show our support for the team is to buy the jersey from a store that has official authorization.
What are the advantages of heat sublimation for soccer jerseys?
Through the heat sublimation technology can make the dye completely into the fabric, which means that the heat sublimation custom football jerseys can ensure that the printed team logo, sponsor logo, player name and number will never fall off or fade, no need to spend a lot of time to maintain jerseys, can be machine washed and dried, which greatly improves the service life of the soccer jerseys and saves our time. At the same time, it can show the subtle difference of adjacent colors, which can present a better visual effect on the soccer jerseys and facilitate us to give more meanings to the soccer jerseys and help establish the culture of the soccer team.
Because of the various types of soccer jerseys that the majority of soccer fans have a stronger sense of involvement and a higher level of enthusiasm for soccer, and everyone is able to express their support for their favorite team in their own way. However, all of the above soccer jerseys come with fixed professional team logos, like Manchester United、Real Madrid、FC Barcelona etc, we can only customize our own names and numbers. For amateur league teams, school teams, corporate teams, community teams, etc., we have our own team names, team logos, sponsors, and obviously these professional league club jerseys are not conducive to building the culture of our own soccer teams. At the same time, both the fan version jerseys and the player version jerseys use traditional heat transfer printing technology to print names and numbers, which requires a certain amount of effort to maintain these jerseys on a daily basis, and after a period of use, they still suffer from peeling and fading problems. With the development of production technology, the use of heat sublimation technology on custom-made jersey has helped the majority of soccer fans solve these problems.
