Poll: Replica Shirts?

Takkyu

You raised a good point there about "who is Timo Boll".

My parents don't know the sport of Football/Soccer.
But however from seeing fans walking around wearing a Number 10 from Barcelona and a Number 10 from Man U. They don't know the players name though. But do know those replicas are of top players.

Same applies to Rugby, they just remember seeing the players number and name on the back and will know - that guy is the star etc.

Now they maybe remember the surname/family name from the jersey, my parents still doesn't know the first name. But it has already done enough to let them remember for a few years of who these guy might be, and when they have a chance of watching the sport on TV, they will ask me, where is this number 10 etc.

So in a way, I do believe having us fans wearing our favourite players jersey may be useful in growing the sport.

Mizuno sells the Japanese national team shirts, but only at the tournaments themselves (e.g. WTTC, Olympics) not online, though these won't have names on them, but they will have sponsorship stickers and the flag. You will come across real players jerseys from time to time, however I usually see these go for 1000s of RMB. IIRC, butterfly korea does sell the shirts for the Korean National team, however they don't have the flags on them (the old shirts however did used to have the flag on them).

So National authentic shirts: China - confirm Japan - confirm Korea - confirm Germany? Sweden? USA - confirm rest? So it may be easy to confirm, but difficult to purchase

They are a huge corporation that sells everyday apparel, sports apparel,  sports equipment, and accessories. In china you can easily purchase legitimate li-ning apparel because it is readily available (like nike, fila, adidas is in USA). In china, however, it is difficult to find legitimate nike, adidas ect... Its all about the market you are in.  As far as national/official team apparel is concerned, it is usually supplied to the team. Best to have a connection.

Yeah, that I understand.
Well, I'm about to get a Jeremy Lin Houston jersey.
Once it is out, it is so damn easy for me to get.

I want to get the same shirt that Sandiway got, and I am willing to pay for it, but sadly its not a money thing, there is just no online store that sells (legitimate) them.
I can easily find all the other sports that I enjoy easily, but just not table tennis - sad from a fans point of view

singapore wearing donic i guesss

Yeah, I think it is not accurate to say it is difficult to find legitimate Nike, Adidas etc.
China is the biggest market in the world, and who doesn't want a piece of this pie?

BTW, China market is how many times bigger than USA? You rather be number 1 in China than number 1 in USA if you know what I mean.

So inside China, either retail or online, is it easy to get legitimate Li Ning CNT TT shirts?

This was just added - the same as what Sandiway bought
http://eacheng.net/index.php?act=detail&ID=3373

However looking at the pictures, it doesn't look 100% authentic, but the price is not cheap...

ZApenholder wrote: LiXiao In terms of what evident have your heard regarding Taobao? In other threads, I recall people mentioning Taobao can not be reliable in terms of authentic wears. I myself have not tried or have any experience with Taobao. And wow, Taobao really have a big range of Ai Fukuhara personal clothing. I think even if these counterfeit (if they are) are good quality, I won't mind owning one - simply because - I don't know where to buy originals......... For you to compare counterfiet vs authentic, you need one of each. Now if it wasn't for Sandiway and his 1 of 100 CNT London shirt, we wouldn't even have the oppurtunity to see the real thing.

They also have a few chinese national team jerseys, as well as club jerseys.  isn't it cute how there's a bunch of large white banners on the front of the shirt for the ball to blend in with?http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/17438144802/?cate=search and only $320! i'll take 2 please
