Q&A: where to buy the most stylish 2018 World Cup uniforms?

Some conquered the 2018 World Cup with a beautiful game, and some with cute uniforms. The Mundial has come to an end, and on Avito.ru replica game jerseys from Thailand are sold out in full swing, which, of course, we do not advise you to buy as a memory of the World Cup. Let’s find out where it is better to buy original jerseys and how to distinguish the fake from the original.

It has long been known that soccer is not only a sport, but also a platform for advertising brands. There are a lot of companies fighting to create equipment for players, so you should look for game jerseys in their official stores. This time the main partners of the World Cup were Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Puma, Uhlsport, Umbro, Hummel and Errea. The balance of power is approximately as follows:

Adidas

What can I buy?

On the official website you can find not only pre-match, training and game uniforms of the national teams, but also capsule collections with championship symbols and cool prints by Shnur, Irina Gorbacheva and Pokras Lampas. There you will also be able to order a personalized jersey with your favorite number.

Adidas Creators Base is located in the Museum of Moscow till July 15. Print stores in Adidas stores (“Aviapark”, “Metropolis”, “Mega Khimki”, “Mega Belaya Dacha”, “Krylatskie Holmy”, TSUM, “Zolotoy Vavilon”, “Atrium”, “Evropeisky” and “Olymp”) will continue their work and will apply World Cup prints until they run out.

This is interesting: you can put an exclusive print from “Championship” on your T-shirt. Ask in the menu of the printshop.

Price of the question: from 2 thousand to 8 thousand rubles.

Nike

What can you buy?

The nike.com website features national team game gear, jackets, backpacks, caps and even balls in the colors of those countries. Of course, you can also order a personalized T-shirt in the “Your Design” section for $15.

But if you want something more, you can customize your jersey at the Design Studio from Nike Box MSK in Gorky Park. To do this, you need to register in the system (on the website) and sign up for a session in the web application nikemoscow.com (it’s better to do it one day a day, as there are a lot of people willing to do it).

Customization in Nike Box MSK runs up to and including July 22 and is absolutely free.
Jersey price: from 4 thousand rubles.

Puma

What can I buy?

The official website offers team game uniforms, hoodies and T-shirts with bright images of Russia and its symbols.

Price: from 2 thousand to 5 thousand rubles.

New Balance

What can you buy?

On the site there are jerseys in the colors of the home uniforms of both national teams. The choice, of course, is not very large – only two options.

The price of the question: from 4990 rubles.

Umbro

What can I buy?

On the Russian version of the site to find the uniform of the national team of Peru will not be possible. You can find it only in the “Fanwear” section. There are both home and away jerseys, and also cool T-shirts with prints of country symbols.

Price of the issue:

• Peru national team jerseys – $90
• Painted jerseys – $24.

Hummel

What can I buy?

Jerseys can be found both on the Russian version of the site and on the official one. But if the first one presents only home and away jerseys of the Danish national team, on the second one you can find goalkeeper’s outfit, training jerseys, gaiters, fan jackets, scarves and even a baseball cap.

Errea

What can you buy?

Na stránkách site has home and away jerseys, as well as merch for fans.

Price range:

• Merch – from $13
• Jerseys – $ 72

Uhlsport

What can I buy?

In order to buy at least the jersey of the national team, apparently, we will have to go to Tunisia. We couldn’t find such goods on the official Uhlsport website, so we are waiting for actual links to the originals in the comments (preferably before we buy plane tickets).

How to distinguish a fake?

1. Pay attention to the seams. No threads should be visible around the logos, and they themselves should look crisp and even.
2. The colors of the inscriptions should be bright. More often than not, company logos look duller on replicas.
3. Look at the jersey from the underside. Most likely, on a fake you will see a lot of sticking threads and uneven stitching.

Whether to buy the original or Thai replicas is up to you. The main thing – do not delay with the purchase, because after the championship you will be able to find soccer jerseys only on Ebay at many times inflated prices.
