Quick question for those that have bought slightly unofficial shirts. If I was looking for a retro Sheffield Wednesday shirt for my 20 year old daughter who has now decided she likes football, where would be a decent place to start looking?

I've tried Aliexpress/ Alibaba and there's one seller for modern kits. I know it can be a bit cloak and dagger for what things are listed as but it's all Premier League clubs and Messi shirts. Would appreciate some pointers before I fork out 40 quid on the official one. 

I'd check out Toffs, had a retro Scotland track top and the quality was Really high. Pretty sure it's all licensed gear too.

I'll ask @PunkStep as he's always buying retro shirts off one of those.

Not kits, but Terrace have loads of officially licensed Wednesday stuff, lots of gear in retro styling (owl crest). Could be with a look for you.

@cobra_gordo he said he's used redstar2026/redstar159, usoccerjersey, soccerjersey55.

Let us know how you get on.

Seems to be a great subreddit for replica shirts, there's a google spreadsheet with a tonne of links for individual shirts.

Thanks everybody, massively appreciate all the help.

I've bought her one for 11 quid, ended up going modern as the classic Sanderson ones don't seem to exist on the replica sites. For that sort of money though she can have another couple if it turns out to be decent quality. Will let you all know what i's like when it arrives.

If you want a second hand Sanderson one I'll keep an eye out. While shirts of that era in adult sizes are absolutely stupid prices, kids ones tend to be a bit more sensible.

That would be massively appreciated. She's 20 but would fit in a youth xl by the looks of the sizing.

I think I need to grab this Club Deportivo Palestino shirt.. they're top of the Chilean league too.

[SuperBacon]

What a club.

You had one job.

Love this Glastonbury shirt. 

And a great feature on Walthamstow FC and William Morris, with a brilliant accompanying doc.

Where is the best place to buy "retro" Spurs shirts these days(can't believe shirts from my early teens are now retro). Mainly, I want the home shirt from(I think) 94/95, the season they signed Klinsmann, Popescu, Dumitrescu etc with 18 Klinsmann on the back, and the blue/purple striped Pony shirt  with Sheringham or Anderton on the back(clasic Premier League Sleeve badges if possible)?

Are you bothered if it's legit? 

If not, DHgate is your best bet. I also see people recommend r/soccer00 on Reddit as a good source, but I can't vouch for them. Can get a copy for around £15.

If you want a legit one, in good condition, will be around £100. Let me know and I'll ask around for you.

Honestly, no. 

I assume the knock offs are close enough to the real thing these days anyway

Are there any recommended sellers on DH Gate?

Punkstep has recommended these. But don't trust him obviously as he's an Arsenal fan.

Good luck, let us know what you get.
