Alright I've got a decision to make. Last season's kits are for sale for $20 American. They are originally $80. I've already got a long sleeved white jersey from two years ago with the Strongbow ad on the front. I would have definately bought a yellow jersey but they don't have any available big enough for me. Here's (http://www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag_4_5/Football/product_details.aspx?pid=11403&cid=79&tid=) the link. Is it worth buying the last year's jersey when the only thing different is the ad on the front and the sleeves? Does anyone else know where I can get a cheap kit?

Ebay has great prices on shirts. I have bought probably 12-15 jerseys from there. With shipping I paid around $20 for each one. I think it is a great deal. They look and feel just like the real jerseys. Give it a shot.

Kitbag has some great deals but the shipping is killer to the states. It will cost more to ship that kit then to buy it. That being said still not a bad deal. You know it's the real deal, Ebay is a roll of the dice with thousands of Korean knockoff kits that fall apart in 2 weeks.
PS they were out of the larger sizes of the Leeds kit a couple of weeks ago.. hopefully they found a few more in the back room!

How dependable is Soccer Box? That's a great deal. I just want to make sure that's going to be an authentic jersey.

I just picked up a YL 02-03 home shirt. I'll let you guys know how the product is when it shows up at my door.

I've bought many kits from Ebay as well and have had some good results. You just have to be careful that you don't get some dodgy replicas. Most come from Thailand and Malaysia so the shipping can be as much as the jersey but still about 75% less than in the stores. Also, sometimes payment can be a hassle, I recommend going with a seller that accepts Paypal as Ebay supports it and its pretty user friendly. The best way I found to make sure the jersey is good is to look at the picture and locate the liscensed tags and official markings on the real kits. Most usually have closeups of this on the page. Of the 10-15 I've bought I haven't had a problem when doing this. Cheers

Alright, I've received my shirt and it is brilliant. Most importantly, it's authentic. I highly recommend soccer box for shirts. The turnaround is quick and the service was great.

I just said screw it and bought both the yellow jersey from two years ago and the blue pin stipe jersey from last year.
