    Hi all.

    I've been reading varying anecdotes online of people (not) being assessed tariffs on their purchases from the LFC online shop. Does anyone based in the US have recent experience (within last ~couple of weeks) that they can share of their experience purchasing kits from the LFC online shop?

    I'm particularly interested in the third kit, which I believe is manufactured in Vietnam. Want to get it personalized with my son's name, but I think that means that even if I refuse delivery, I wouldn't be able to get a refund on the kit from the club shop, since it will be personalized.

    Kind of feel like I have no options if I want to get him the kit but to buy from the club shop, as he is a kids size (2 year old) and I would like to get the gold Premier League winners badge on the sleeve. Not seeing anyone selling this (at least a legit one) that's based in US.

    Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the problem here is that they don't offer the gold league winners badge!

    I like a nice clean jersey. Why do they have to put all the extra crap on it?

    This is a nod to the famous Candy jersey that was a hit in the 80s.

    I’m sure I’ll come across as a curmudgeon here, but there is nothing I care less about in football than jerseys. I’ve never bought one and never have had a desire to wear one though I do own one that was given to me as a gift*. I have no interest in the shirt as long as it’s red.





    *This one.

    I have that one too. Kinda torn up from years of playing in it. Collar looked good but is annoying as hell. Same issue with the collar on the year before 95-96 -cept that collar was even more annoying.
    The next year as I recall the away shirt ( a cream display) went black neck-top collarless, and that was too tight....

    So I got my Jersey yesterday, but had to pay $96.20 extra, due to tariff. The jersey was $150, this is absurd, lol

    That taken money is supposed to be legally repayable. However, the govt is a bunch of corrupt liars and deviants, so I wouldn;t hold my breath on that - however there may be another way to get soem cash-back from them....

    Were you at January 6th by any chance? ;)
