Might be a bit funny, but according to the new PES kits it could look like this. At least the same design has been worn by a couple of goalkeepers in international games lately.

The home GK kit is awesome. It reminds me of the one Valdes and Pinto wore in Cup games, though I'm not sure whether it was 13/14 or 12/13.

The new kits are on sale at the stadium! My mother just bought me a Busi home kit, she was there any way and asked me if she needed to get me one this year. Getting it on tuesday when I go over to my parents' house, will post my experiences with the new kit then :)

Almost 200$ with shipping, I can go on summer vacation for that kind'a money.

Yeah, authentic jerseys are not cheap (neither are replica jerseys) these days, they are all overpriced. But I'd be willing to shell out the money knowing our club will benefit from the sale. :p

Yeah, I am a blindly obsessed Cule. :barca scarf:

This is clearly not a good explanation.
First of all, that guy is an eBay seller that has only overpriced shirts, sells a 2004/05 shirt for 100 Euro!? I bought one for 17E on eBay in 9.5/10 condition ( 9.5 only because of the psychological impact that I knew it has been worn, but cond is like new ) and payed something like 5 for the shipping, he's asking like 11 from Barcelona, that's theft for an economy shipment with no tracking and insurance of a simple shirt for Barcelona-Bucharest TBH.
Then he has a 2005/06 Home he says it's 06/07, rates it as 8/10 and sells it for 100 euro's...

I don't see how I'll help the club by enriching that guy, and 200$ is way too much for any shirt, hell, 50 is a hell'of'a lot, and the only reason I pay more than 50 for a shirt anytime is because: FC Barcelona, but even for FCB 200 is way too exaggerated.
Then even if you buy the shirt from an official outlet, how much does the club get? 5 euro's/shirt? The rest goes to Nike or whoever when the workers at the factories make a shitty 2 times the value of a shirt for a months work.

Don't get me wrong, I was referring to buying Barca jerseys in general, not buying from that particular seller.

Yeah, I think you are right, the clubs don't have a good markup from the sale of the jersey in terms of the total purchase price, but I read somewhere that jersey sales are a significant item in a club's overall revenue. So I'd be willing to contribute and do my share. :p

This exactly what you need Authentic vs. Replica ( exactly on a Barca shirt ).

Luftstalag14 also came with some explanations.

Generally go one size up ( authentics are more slimmer ), though I guess you never know till you try them out ( if possible ) and this bugs me too, since dunno what's would by best size be for an Authentic Nike Barca.
They're slimmer fit, clearly but don't know about other characteristics such as on the neck or on the arms.

Guys, can you explain me the difference between Authentic/Match, Stadium and Replica jerseys?

In a nutshell, authentic jerseys are designed to be used by players playing on the field, therefore the cut is more slim-fit (football players are fit, unlike us fat couch potatos :lol:), the materials/fabrics used are usually much lighter, mesh-ier, well-ventilated (for example on the more recent Nike authentic jerseys they feature the laser-cut vent holes on the side panels). Stuff such as the club and brand logos are sometimes heat-pressed instead of embroidered as seen on replica jerseys (case in point is our 12/13 authentic jersey. But this is not a hard and fast rule though, many authentic jerseys such as our 13/14, 14/15 jerseys feature embroidered logos). Other than these, sometimes authentic jerseys come with other bells and whistles that you don't see on replica jerseys (such as the T-shape patch on the shoulders for some of the Nike authentic jerseys).

One thing I wanted to point out though is there are still some minor differences between the so-called authentic player issue jerseys commercially available for sale on the market and those true match-issued jerseys. I won't cover those at this point.

Replica jerseys are designed for us fans to use, so the materials/fabrics are usually thicker and heavier.

As to stadium jerseys, I have only heard of them but never bought one myself, I suppose they are one notch down even from the replica jerseys? Perhaps by using even cheaper materials and without some of the details on the replica jerseys. I generally avoid these.

Hope this helps.

Aah, thanks for the explanation. There are a couple of things you said that I did not know of myself, so I have definitely learned a thing or two. I usually buy replica's because I just find authentic jerseys to be too expensive.

Thanks. I guess the description of these shirts is not really accurate on some websites so it's hard to distinguish them.

For example, I'm looking to buy an Argentina shirt and on sportsdirect.com it says "Home Shirt 2014" for the one that costs 45 pounds and the replica one is supposedly 28 pounds. Now surely the more expensive one is the actual "replica" and the cheaper is another notch down (perhaps the stadium shirt) as you described it?
