Those are GREAT! I love the look of them. I think that Blue and Red are over done. But yes, they are a bit pricey. I would like a black or charcoal shirt.

I have a few BTY shirts given to me by the club for buying the 1 year membership. I don't know how much the club normally sells them for.

I have a few that I picked up from aliexpress. All of them were under $15 each but a couple were fake. I think I know how to distinguish the real ones from the fake ones now should you choose to go that route.

Were you thinking about $30-$40 to outfit the whole team or for each shirt?

I was thinking 30 or under for each shirt...but if you found some cool shirts on Aliexpress, we could do that, but might not get those until after next season . The problem with Aliexpress is sizing. It'd be nice to be able to reaturn some if someone ends up being fatter than we thought.

Take a look at the shirts here http://www.prott.cc/Product-List.aspx?producttype=28
The prices are pretty good, even with DHL shipping. Shipping is $21 for 5 shirts. They can even print names, logos, and flags for $2 each per shirt. The prices are low enough that I wouldn't bother returning any if they don't fit. You could probably make a little profit reselling them to people at the club.

As far as sizing, I have a few 3XL and they fit well. I have a few of the 4XL (the largest available) as well, and they are only slightly larger. Not a whole lot of difference, just a little looser around the chest. The difference in size between 3XL and 4XL is only 2cm, or less than an inch. If you like your shirts a little looser, get the 4XL. For reference, my team shirt was a Large and it was more snug than I like.

4XL? What, are these Pigmy-sizes? I'm a Large in US clothing. If I wear a 4 XL, I look like I have a Moo Moo on.

Or do these sizes run really small?

Those are actually quite nice looking. They're fakes?

Ohhhh I like the look of these:




Now I've gone from shirts that aren't plastic feeling to shirts that will surely be plastic feeling but look cool!

The sizes are Asian sizes. I'm a US Large as well so if your team shirt was a Large, then a 3XL will fit fine, but not as snug as our team shirt. Next time I see you, I'll wear one of my 4XL so you can see how it looks. Not like a Moo Moo at all.


Some of them are. As far as I can tell, the fake ones don't have a BTY tag in the lower left hip area. For all I know, they still could be fake, just better quality fakes.



Those Liebherr shirts are actually the Butterfly German National Team shirts. I have one in this style:

Yep, I love the gray and green ones. I've always like the look of the German shirts...looks almost Soccer club-ish.

I wonder if we could get blank german shifts, without the Liebherr, and replace that with our team name and club. I know we can put our name on it.

I think the Liebherr shirts are fake. I don't see the BTY tag on the left hip. Even so, the fake shirts I have do use the moisture-wicking fabric and they're not bad, I'm not sure if I would consider them feeling like a "plastic bag". Could be a personal thing.

Don't know if the shirts are available without the "Liebherr" or the other sponsor names. I've never seen them without but you could ask them...

Hmpf... So you can get the shirt with Timo Boll written on the back? Reminds me of one of the more recent popular fashion trends on the street around here - the Football Jersey (most of which, naturally enough, are probably knockoffs). Normally someone would pay YOU to advertise their products, but in this case you have to pay THEM (quite large sums of money) to advertise THEIR products. Still, at least for a while, you can pretend you're Lionel Messi or Wayne Rooney...

Well, I think you can get any name you want...the idea being you'd but your name on it.

Oh OK.. I didn't notice that - you aren't buying ready-made shirts with "Timo Boll" on the back, but you can get your name instead. I suppose it's also true with some of those football jerseys, but you DO see a lot of people walking around with "Rooney" (and his number) on the back of theirs.
