doubt about bolivian teams jesery

[EduardoK]

im from brasil and last mounth i went to La Paz and Santa Cruz , i went to a store named Fair Play . The jersey selled in this store are fake ? i Bought Blooming,Bolivar,Oriente Petrolero,Strongest and Bolivia national team. What i thought very strange is that in every jersey ( excepet Bolivia national team ) have a print saying : Fair Play-Distribuidor Oficial.But i made a research and i didnt found anything about Fair Play being a official sponsor of this teams. Are this jersey fakes ? i paid like 30 dollars for wich one

I know most teams find their own suppliers, it's not league mandated. I'm a The Strongest fan and the last jersey I bought was made by Gav Sport. Very nice too, it looks real to me. The Marathon Bolivia jersey is probably real, I don't like Marathons stuff too much. It's not quality made.

Eduardo, I know the store you're talking about. Fair Play is a Bolivian company from Tarija. They are not a sport apparel company like Puma, Nike, Adidas, Lotto, Under Armour, Umbro etc.
Instead they are a manufacturing and distributing firm. Meaning they get contracts from apparel brands who sponsor Bolivian teams and produce and sell through their distributor stores.
For example if a Bolivian league team is sponsored by Adidas then Fair Play gets a contract to manufacture the adidas sponsored league jersey in their plant and then sell in their Fair Play stores. The designs and fabrics come from the sport apparel company and Fair Play makes them and distributes.

Last I heard, they only produced the league teams jerseys that belonged to big apparel companies (Adidas, Lotto, Umbro, etc)
I didn't know they now did teams who were sponsored by bolivian apparel companies. You mentioned you bought a Strongest jersey from there. From what I know Strongest (Gav Sport) only distributed their stuff through their own distributor stores called Gav Sport and not Fair Play. However, this could have chaged recently, not sure.

If you bought them at the official "Fair Play" stores and not second hand I'd say they are original. Hope this helps.
