The first point still stands though. Why support the market for fakes.

they are replicas, not fakes. Fakes items are marketed as genuine article but in fact not. Where some of the chinese sites do not say their stuff is genuine items...

Fakes, replicas, counterfeit goods...it makes no difference, they're still making and selling things to which they have no right.

well at least you know where you stand with replica, as opposed to fake stuff.

imagine if you bought a kit that costs £££ but turns out to be not genuine? you will be annoyed won't you. but with moton, you know you ain't getting the real article.

i got a couple of kit from Moton, but they were GB 2012 kit, which can't be gotten from Addidas anymore and I just refuse to pay the profit mongols from fleabay that's selling a jersey for a massive 50% markup.

Oh i also got a set of cannondale factory kit 2010 which you can't get and I don;t support cannondale pro team, but i got a caad so its good to match

there is a place in the market for these sort of things...

If manufacturers priced their shirts reasonably maybe the "black market" would cease to exist. I'd prefer not to buy copies but you have to go to your budget. Proper gear is really expensive. It's all ok if you have plenty of cash.

Do that. That's all that matters, money doesn't grow on trees. The jersey will do the job its meant to and its half the price.
The prices for the original team jerseys are extortionate and not everyone can be expected to wear them. if you want the yellow jersey on your back or your favourite cycler's jersey then buy it.

I guess if you reckon you'd impress the wife / girlfriend by buying her some knock-off Chanel No5 down the car boot, then we're just as impressed by you in your cr@ppy knock-off kit.
