Cheap football kits

I ordered a few kits for myself and my son. My third kit is more of an off white with a waffle texture while my sons is white and smooth. Then I noticed at the last game there seems to be two different tones to that kit, anyone know the difference? Is one a player version or supporters kit?
Waffle texture is player version. Off-white is the accurate colour.
 
Correcting myself. I probably should have sized it 2 sizes up. Length wise, it's fine but it's a little snug around the belly (I am 6'0" tall and 208lbs carrying a little too much around the waist).
Thanks this is really helpful, I'll go with 2 sizes up.

I found this useful for ordering from China. Not sure if it applies to all distributers, but it does with kitmm from where I ordered and received tops from.
 
Has anyone tried those mystery boxes on dhgate? There's a guy selling 30 random kits for 350 euros already shipped. I'm going to an event that will have a bunch of kids in a footie tournament and this could be a way to get them a gift. Will I get kits from well known clubs or random 3rd kits and unknown clubs?

From what I’ve seen at least 90% random 3rd kits and unknown clubs. At best it’ll be a couple well known clubs shirts which were rejected for loose threads and misaligned prints or last season shirts they are trying to flog. At almost €12 a shirt it doesn’t even sound that good a deal, should be closer to €9 if not better considering the quantity.

Check soccer00 on Reddit. There are lots of reviews and some of the mystery boxes mentioned.
 
Ive been getting from dhgate now for years, but i think im going to call it a day with the cheapo football shirts from there.. maybe apart from the odd retro one.

7/8 out of 10 of the last ones i have got, the sizing has been all over the place. with the main issue always being the neck/collar being too big/wide and out of proportion to the shirt. Got this years long sleeve top there and its like and XL neck on a M shirt.

I wanted to try that soccer04 website, as my mate, said its spot on. But its stopped doing paypal, and its now only accepting visa/mastercard payments, and its not secure checkouts, so absolutely no chance im sticking my bank details onto there.
 
Just a warning about Soccer03 or 04 or whatever. I ordered 3 kits from them, of which only 2 were actually in the parcel. Of those 2, one is decent but the other one is terrible, with several visible imperfections and very poor materials. I tried contacting them several times both on email and WhatsApp to tell them about the missing shirt but haven't heard back from them in weeks. I seem to have no luck whatsoever with knockoffs, and I have tried most of the best reviewed sellers/websites.
 
Anyone? I can't seem to find these anywhere.
I had a look around for it but they all seem to have flaws. The adidas and United devil logo are just plastic printed on instead of sewn like the real one and the material of the jacket doesn’t look great.

Anything other than the kits can be quite hit and miss as the demand usually isn’t there for them to care to make improvements and they probably made it based off of a picture rather than having a real piece. I’ll share if I come across a new batch that is better.
 
Has anybody found a decent site for the United Originals track jacket?
Ive seen a couple versions from dhgate, but they werent great. the badge is always embroidered and a bit messy. If you can find one that has the badge with the soft mould like it should be, it would be spot on. Just check the reviews for pics
