Why prefer genuine
Quality
Authentic jerseys are made of high-quality materials. Although you may pay more for a genuine product, compared to a fake copy, you will get a higher quality product that will last longer.
Value
Authentic jerseys are mostly made just for the season during which they are used. Because of this, the shirts hold their value better, and in many cases also increase in value over time. When you take care of the shirts, you can sell them on in the future.
Ethics
When buying fake products, you can never be sure where the products are made, by whom, and who benefits from them financially. Although even with genuine products there are manufacturing flaws, the processes around them are still controlled.
