Fan Version VS Player Version?
SHARE
You may have already seen these terms on football jersey product sheets: "Fan Version" (also called Replica or Stadium ) and "Player Version" (also called Authentic or Match ). But what is the real difference between the two?
If you're undecided between the two or simply want to better understand what you're wearing, this article is for you.
🔥 The Player Version: the pros' jersey
The Player Version is simply the same jersey worn by professional players on the pitch . It is designed for performance, with cutting-edge textile technologies .
Main features:
- Slim fit (close to the body, like the pros)
- Ultra-technical fabric , light, breathable, often with ventilation zones (ventilation under the arms, back, etc.)
- Iron-on logos (not embroidered, for lighter weight)
- Sweat regulation technology
- More fragile : it must be washed carefully (inside out, without fabric softener, etc.)
- Higher price (but you wear what Mbappé, Messi or Haaland wears, so it's justified 😎)
👕 The Fan Version: for supporters
The Fan Version is designed for everyday wear. It features the same design as the official jersey, but with a simpler, more comfortable, and more durable design.
Main features:
- Straight cut , wider, comfortable
- Thicker fabric , less breathable but more durable
- Embroidered or sewn logos (depending on the brand)
- Fewer technical details , but excellent visual rendering
- Perfect for going to the stadium, training or a football evening with friends
- More affordable price
