    Is this shirt an unofficial product?
    I bought it via ebay, transact the money, and the guy from thailand sent out the shirt.

    BUT: The customs office (Zollamt) at Frankfurt International Airport confiscated it, because it is a fake, they say.

    NIKE itself (!) seem to have insisted the shirt to be confiscated, can you believe this?

    So I am asking you? Do you appear to know, if this shirt was worn during the last summer, or before, or after.
    Do you have any evidence, that this shirt is an official product?
    Because if not, they will keep it, I'll have lost the money and the guy from thailand is smiling.
    I really really need your help...
    This is the auction:

    This is the shirt:

    yes it is original from what I see. I see the exact same tag on the back of the neck part which I see on my original NT jersey.

    However, if you're asking if that's the NT jersey, then no. It's more like a practice shirt which the Korean NT players wore last summer and probably will nowadays when the weather gets hot.

    never buy from Thailand. There are so many fake stuff over there. From the pic it may look like real, but some fakes look real as well.

    @all: Thank you very much!

    The shirt is actually a fake. The customs office told me that the seller from Thailand is already known to them and that he betrayed many others before, too.

    Maybe there exist an official nike product of this shirt, but the one I received is definitely not one.

    @KF: Yeah, I knew, that this is not the KNT-jersey and like you I argued that the players wore it during hot days.

    So never buy from that guy.

    I will need ebay's help to get my money back^^

    Again, thank you for your participation^^

    Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

    Anyway, you should get the official document or whatever from customs and tell eBay so the guy can't sell any more, though he'll probably just get another username....

    It sure looks like a good fake. One thing I've learned from eBay is that even though Thailand is a source of a lot of fakes, there actually are some legitimate sellers. If you look at the seller's other auctions, he has a lot of older jerseys which all look genuine. As for the training shirt, it's hard to tell. If it's a fake, it's a really good fake. The seller also has a pretty good feedback rating with only one negative so it's really tough to say.

    Well, if it's a fake, hopefully you can get your money back. I don't see why not considering that he advertised it as a genuine product. Just make sure it indeed is a fake or it's going to be a lot tougher to get your money back. Good luck.

    This is the important part.
    A lot of buyers sell really bad fakes, but they don't get in trouble because they never say if a product's fake. They'll say it has a Nike swoosh or the KFA badge, or it's "like" the one Ahn wore at the World Cup. But if the seller doesn't say if it's real, then ask the seller before you make a bid "Is this an authentic licensed product made by Nike (or adidas, whatever)?" Then the law is on your side.

    Yeah, that's another problem with some of these sellers. A lot of them seem to be from the same seller since their auction pages and products are exactly the same while under different names. It sucks when you try to look for that one genuine jersey but have to sort through all the crap they put out there.
    Definitely. Although a lot of the seller's do offer a money back guarantee as long as you pay for the shipping to return it. Just make sure that what you have is indeed a fake, otherwise it's going to be tough trying to get your money back and it hurts the seller's rep if he is indeed a genuine seller.

    rule of thumb.

    real replicas are never cheap.
