Exhaustive enquiries by your Truth Hound, Phoenix Joe reveal the shocking truth that the profits from 'Genuine Replica' (whatever that may mean) football shirts end up financing illegal wars in far flung countries like Afghanistan and Iraq.
The difference in price between a 'fake replica' and a 'genuine replica' (often made in the same factory by the same people) is made up mainly of government tax. As it is governments that pay for and run these wars the link is easy to see.
Our advice is to only buy fake replicas thereby starving the governments of funds to wage war.
Strange world.
