Not a bash at the OP or anyone on this thread (I am aware of the issues), but it is actually fairly ridiculous (when you think about it) how kids that age would give a toss about a "fake" jersey.......
To even think that the marketing and advertising about these type of garments has gotten down to that level shows you how successful these clubs are in profiteering from the very young in society.
Not only do you pay a significent amount of money to the companies...I mean clubs....you also pay for the privilege of advertising their sponsor and in the case of a child, the Jersey will at most fit for a couple of years - even if it fitted longer, it is out of date after two seasons at most.

I had a bunch of fake ones very obviously fake too one was a Keane Jersey from when he was at inter and had keane on the collar and stuff and all I had no issues I'd be surprised (and sad ) if I heard that kids would slag u off for having the wrong number

I love a happy ending

Me too:D

And sincere thanks again to you guys here...I probably wouldn't have had the guts to return to the shop and state my case, if it hadn't been for you guys.

I have to hand it to them, they gave me the new jersey with no problems whatsoever - great customer service for a very distressed mammy:)

Had another chat with him, and re-convinced him that actually he was right in his Santa letter and that ronaldo's number 7 after all...

Little chancer mentioned his friend is getting the Real Madrid tracksuit for christmas (67euro:eek:) so we've agreed to ask his aunts/uncles for a ten euro voucher for that sports shop, instead of selection boxes....(can't justify that kind of money on a white tracksuit top that will be BLACK in an hour;))

I was going to suggest you tell him it was a retro jersey (2009 is retro to an 8 year-old ) but glad to see you got it sorted in the end.

This thread was making me really angry for a whole bunch of reasons until post 51.

Fittle where did you get the jersey done? I'm looking to get a Barcelona one done! Thanks.

was a breakdown of this on the villa site not too long ago, the answer is approximately €1-3 to the club, far more if you buy direct from the club

That is absolutely crazy! No wonder nike etc pay such daft sums to get associated with these clubs!
