I also had one inquiry about Authentic kits. I was speaking to a friend of mines who has been a soccer fan his whole life and someone i would trust as far as knowledge with related things like merchandise. I asked about Authentic kits and if they were the primary kits used by the athletes themselves. He told me that it was only recent that the authentic kits aka the techfit kits became available and that the kits that cost $80 are pretty much are authentic jerseys and not a replica in the sense as saying its the same as an Authentic on-field reebok football jersey. If this was true, it was something i found very interesting because as a huge sports fan and barcelona fan, i must have whatever authentic jersey is made to the public which usually replicate whats being worn by the players on the field and that would be odd that there is a much more expensive kit that possibly isnt worn by the players or not even really considered something close to game worn. Im basically asking, are these techfits seen as a way for companies to just make more money just for the simple fact of now making an "authentic" style available or have the ballpark, $80 dollar jerseys are just as authentic and the same as the players wear on the field? since i always see "official" tagged on the description of these jerseys and not "replica" which would indicate its an economical jersey that dosnt have all the same things as an authentic would. My cognitive thinking would tell me that the techfits would be considered the Authentic on-field football jersey for the soccer realm but its something i just wanted to inquire about first and get some real knowledge about. I do not know much at all about soccer kits and i hope i can receive some help and education on this topic.
