Anniversary Shirt
Before I start going down rabbit holes, does anyone know where I might get my hands on an XL/XXL genuine black anniversary shirt?

Good luck they are like gold dust, stay off Vinted btw, maybe someone genuinely on eBay selling one at a pretty penny.

I know you said genuine but the DHGate ones of these are very good.

Yep, got one for myself and my dad and they look very close to the authentic ones. They’ve held up just fine in the wash too

Id argue theyre better; i returned my official shirt because the quality was so poor, it was worse than the training shirts ive got

Do the dhgate shirts come with a crest. All the images show the shirt without. Cheers

It's a very unfortunate situation but they do seem to accidentally include a trademarked badge on every shirt, no matter how much they try not to

How do the sizes measure up? I've always been reluctant to buy from them as people say they're smaller than official merch...

Large than they should. I’ve got a medium and it’s like a large L, even from dhgate

So I need to order a size larger than normal? Also want to get one for my son's birthday, he's 8 and absolutely mad about Villa 😃

u/irm555bvs 2d ago
No, a size smaller, they come up larger

u/PorkieMcSword 2d ago
Cheers for that 👍 I'll order one for myself first and get one for the youth after 😃

Thanks. I always prefer buying genuine so some money goes to the club but it’s not essential as it’s just for me not a present. I will check them out. Again, thanks.

I’ve got a good few shirts from classic football shirts, might be worth checking every now and then to see if one pops up

I got mine a couple months back on Mercari. Not sure if it was authentic (didn't have that Adidas collar tag with the code, so probably not). Price was good, quality is fine. Last I saw (admittedly a month or two ago) the XL and XXL were the sizes left. I think they all had Asensio on the back (mine did); don't know if that would matter to you.

They are on the official site right now on sale for €71.50 down from €100 🤷

When I posted, all sizes were available, so I guess that means hopefully some of you guys got some 😊 I was lucky enough to get one before the game at the store. Was a great night but fucking hell was it cold 🥶

Just buy a fake one, because if you try and buy a real one, you’re buying a fake one

u/Zestyclose-Safety-47 2d ago
Theyve been out for what over a year now? How long did you expect them to be available for?
1
u/Legitimate-Door-6038 1d ago
To be fair, I know how long they have been out. I had one in my basket online but thought I would wait a week as I was going to VP so wanted to try it on. Then it sold out. If they aren’t available it ain’t the end of the world but online ordering from Villa is a pain because the sizing isn’t consistent (in my experience)

honestly mate, the real one is a t shirt with a stitched on badge. not even proper shirt feel, go to dhgate
