    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Pretty much for all manufacturers, not just Adidas, authentic jerseys feature a heat-pressed logo whereas replica jerseys feature a stitched-on and embroidered logo. For Adidas jerseys, for a long time the authentic version features the three stripes being heat-pressed or printed on while the...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    In general, yes, authentic jerseys are more slim fit, however it all depends on the cut and the versions these manufacturers make. For example in the past I have had to order a size XL of our authentic jerseys (I wear a size Large for replica), however in the past two years or so I found that...

    I wouldn't say they are less durable, thinner and lighter yes but still very durable. If they can sustain most of the pulls and drags during a typical game, they can definitely sustain casual and daily wear.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Correct. I think in Europe some refer to the replica version as the "stadium shirt" or something. Authentic version is exactly like what the players wear (with the exception of wash tags and sizes for Adidas jerseys), with lighter and more breathable fabric and materials, often with patterns...

    Xavi Hernández

    :facepalm: Xavi is still stuck in the past. And he is not even that good with the kind of football he wants to play anyways.

    I bought both the replica and authentic version of the Japan 2022 jersey the quality is night and day between the two, I'd say. :p

    If you can wait longer, wait for the authentic version of it, much better.

    Just wait for the 3-star version to come out in the spring. According to Footyheadlines US retailers such as Soccer.com has them in stock around April 2023.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Same here, 100%. While I am feeling really happy for Messi (and getting upset at those who discredited him, especially from non-Barca fans), I felt a bit a sourness and bitterness that he has now left us and has nothing to do with us, and specifically thinking about the state of this club and...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Nah, 90-10 is hugely exaggerated, perhaps in the last couple of days leading up to the World Cup final and since Argentina has won it, it has been more 90% Messi-related and 10% everything else (not even Barca-related, more like Mbappe and other players and misc etc.), but that is not the norm...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    This is a Barca forum first and foremost. Most people come to this forum for Barca-related topics, not Messi-related topics, fact. On this Barca forum you have threads like this one that is dedicated to Messi and other individual players. We just had a WC and a former Barca player, a Barca...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    I don't think people here were having a great time enjoying Dembele or Kounde being poor, or if they wanted to them to be poor at all. It is just they were playing for France, not for Barca, right? So no big deal at all if they failed. I understand the logic of yours (held by apparently many)...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    THAT would have been wrong, however Messi playing the WC for Argentina really has nothing to do with Barca so there is nothing wrong with folks celebrating it like that. You know this forum doesn't just have Barca fans, it has other fans like you guys (non-Barca club fans) and fans of Messi...

    It is a prickly thing to say but not entirely wrong. What is the context though?

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Yeah, there is no way he is coming back as a player. It makes no sense on many levels for him or the club, it just won't work. I am just hoping we can have a charity game or something at Camp Nou against some MLS team or whatever team he plays for to give him a proper send off, before he...

    Well, we are a football club so we have to look to the future... I know there is a bit a bittersweet feeling in Barcelona but we have to move forward.
