Nike Liverpool 2021-22 105 GBP Authentic vs 70 GBP Replica Kit

The new Nike Liverpool 2021-2022 was again released as an authentic and replica edition - we compare the "Player Issue" with the "Fan" version, revealing that they are pretty different. All pictures by Thai Liverpool fanatic MildPiakbangyai.

From the 2021-22 season, Nike's authentic jersey technology is called "Dri-FIT ADV" instead of "Vaporknit" - tech-wise, Dri-FIT ADV is an evolution of Vaporknit.

The Nike LFC Stadium Home shirt is the replica (Fan) version, while the Vapor Match is the authentic (Player Issue version).

Nike's replica has not really changed in the past 15 years

Design

Design-wise, Nike's authentic and replica jerseys have the same elements. As has been the case with Nike's 2021-22 LFC kits, the Liverbird crest, and the Nike logos are very different (heat printed vs stitched and the label on the bottom left (authentic - gold, replica - silver).

The most important difference is likely that the Dri-Fit ADV kit comes with a unique knit pattern for optimal breathability.

Material - Dri-FIT ADV

Nike Dri-FIT ADV technology combines moisture-wicking fabric with advanced engineering and features to help you stay dry and comfortable. Raised knit in high-heat areas provides additional breathability where you need it most.

Tech

Tech-wise, the replica Nike 2021-2022 kits appear to be the same as of the 2020-21 season, while the authentic one has been improved.

The replica jersey is made with Nike Dri-FIT technology. It is the same knit all over the shirt.

Nike increased the price of the authentic kit by 5 GBP

Tag

Another interesting element of Nike's 21-22 kits is the new tag. The tag is now brownish, made from recycled materials. Both products (authentic & replica) are made from at least 75% recycled polyester fibres.

Price

Nike has increased the price of the Nike Liverpool Authentic 2021-2022 kit by 5 GBP - it now retails at a price of 105 GBP, while the replica kits have an official price tag of 70 GBP.

Authentic & Replica kits look very similar from far but are very different from close

Conclusion:

Nike's authentic and replica jerseys are very similar in terms of design but very different in the terms of tech, feeling & fit. The authentic Nike kits have been enhanced very much in the past few years, while the replica has been more or less the same as in the past 15 years.

Ederson Continues Cutting Sleeves at Fenerbahçe

Heading into his second season in the Süper Lig, the 33-year-old goalkeeper was once again spotted taking the pitch in a cut-sleeve jersey. Simply because Fenerbahçe does not offer a short-sleeve kit option from Adidas.

At his previous clubs like Rio Ave, Benfica, and Manchester City, Ederson always had short-sleeve versions to him. His time at Fenerbahçe marks one of the rare instances in his professional career where Ederson has worn long sleeves on the pitch.

Special thanks to What The Kit for the spot and the collage.

Bordeaux 26-27 Away Kit Released

Following the launch of their home strip, Girondins de Bordeaux and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. Amidst severe off-pitch turmoil and administrative relegation to the amateur leagues, the French club has looked to the most celebrated period in its history for design inspiration, presenting a shirt that pays tribute to the famous 1986-87 double-winning side.

The Hummel Bordeaux 26-27 away jersey is predominantly white, framed by dark navy panels across the shoulders and sleeves that house the Danish brand's signature chevrons. A classic white polo collar features discreet red trim along the edges, which is echoed on the sleeve cuffs. Completing the retro aesthetic, the left chest bears the club's circular 1980s crest rather than the modern badge, delivering an unmistakable nod to the golden era.

Presented without a main shirt sponsor, the clean retro shirt maintains a bespoke feel despite the team competing outside the professional ranks in Régional 1. Hummel continues to stand by the club under its multi-year partnership, with the kit priced at €89.95.
