Cristiano Ronaldo Sporting Lisbon shirts: never worn
Cristiano Ronaldo has a legion of fans around the world. Many of them like to have CR7 shirts, and it is said that his 80 million sterling pound fee transfer was entirely payed for by the replica shirts sold with his name on. Because there are not so many, unscrupulous sellers take any old Sporting shirt, and apply the Cristiano Ronaldo lettering and number. Sometimes from the correct font for the season, sometimes just any old lettering.
Some fans take this to the next level, and want to have one of Cristiano Ronaldo's match worn shirts, that is, the jerseys that he wore in a football match on the pitch. These are rare, very hard to find, and usually extremely expensive. Particularly rare are his Sporting Lisbon shirts, because he played in the main team only for one season, and therefore these are extremely sought after.
To cater for all these people, there is a growing number of replica shirts that more or less look like match worn Ronaldo jerseys, but that in fact were never even close to him. All the shirts shown here fall into this category. Some are sold by honest dealers, who do not claim the shirts to be match worn, and state directly that the shirt is a replica. Very often, however, other sellers go out of their way to try to convince people that these are in fact match worn. Sometimes the very funny term "match un worn" is used.
These shirts are almost always very different from the real ones; one common mistake is to put a patch and a player name and number, on a shirt from the wrong season. Several of the " Cristiano Ronaldo" here fall into this category. That people pay sometimes hundreds of euros for clearly forged shirts is amazing, and proves only that a fool and his money are easily parted.
