I didn't know where I might find this answer, and hopefully this is the right place to ask, but is the shop here at Bigsoccer.com in any way affiliated with Foxsoccer shop, Worldsoccershop, or soccer.com? Also, do the EPL kits use Vinyl lettering or the Lextra (felt, raised lettering)?
First the short answer: Yes and no and yes and no. Now here comes the essay response: We partner very closely with some of them, but others might be related only indirectly, which is why you may find different items at different prices in many of the stores you mentioned. BigSoccer Shop shares fulfillment services with many other sources. In fact, a large assortment of our most popular items from adidas, Nike, UnderArmour, Puma, and so on will be shipped directly from the manufacturer no matter where you find it. When it comes to your gear, it's important to choose a source you trust, and you can rest assured that we always do our best to offer as much variety as we can with superb quality at reasonable prices. ___________________________________________________. (Please fill in the blank above with an astonishingly astute segue from business affiliations to appliqué fabrications.) We use Lextra whenever we can get it because we love the fuzzy bunny feel as much as you do, but some EPL teams don't distribute their Lextra nameplates abroad. In those cases we will use officially licensed vinyl letters for the authentic customization. It's all based on what the team want their fans to wear. We'd be happy to post a list here, except that it changes according to availability. Please call our customer service team at 1-888-933-1994 if you need more specifics.
