#Wales 'Retro' football shirts

To sum it up @Cymru have been awful at football for decades but have had some belting kits. Now that we are doing ok as a Nation we've finally been caught up in the fake shirt fiasco

Myself & @speedy3williams have some quick hints for you 👇
'Retro' Adidas

The 3 biggest giveaways are:
- Quality of the Adidas 'Trefoil' badge
- White on the Inside collar (shouldn't be there)
- Double label (should only be the 1)

All below are from a fake shirt
'Retro' Umbro

1 big sign! The badge!! It should either be a proper patch or all felt

If it's a felt make sure to check lettering:
- An original felt will NOT have indented letters
- The letters should hug the bottom of the arch more
- The letter G

Label is a giveaway too
'Retro' Hummel

You need to be looking for a glued on felt badge and not embroidered. Embroidered badges were only on player issue

Also keep an eye out for the colour. Modern ones seem to be a deeper red colour

Left Genuine - Right Fake
'Retro' Admiral

Make sure all badges are printed. Most fake ones will be embroidered. Because of the age of the shirt chances are the badges will be pretty worn

Also 2 tags only - one collar, one hip

All these are from genuine shirt (quality of material too)
'Retro' Champion

If it's £3.99, postage included but looks dodgy, chances are it will still be genuine 😂

Just to finish - if you want to buy a retro shirt on the cheap, then do it. I've done this to avoid anyone being caught out spending ÂŁ100s
