According to cup.ir, the Adidas gear has been purchased and turned over to TM for a total cost of 300,000,000 Toman, or roughly $97,000. The deal includes training gear and match jerseys.
Like said the full hit from China is 18 dollars. So I can imagine where the bulk of 97000 dollars has gone.
^ surely the quality cant be the same. Or is it?
Anyone has seen and touched and compared the chinese fake and the actual one? I dont mean pn the net. Actually TOUCHED AND WORN. Is it breathable, for example. Would it shrink after a couple of washes. :.etc.
By God, those are so cheap looking. Definitely just white shirts with logos printed at a local store. $97,000 for those? I really hope not. I could likely provide 100 of those kits for < $1,000.

Hey man, at least the number font is decent. Just look at the numbers on the Puma kits in your signature. Could be worse.
The pictured kit is from the 2016 Adidas Regista template with white stripes.

On a side note, I don't think Adidas allows non-sponsored teams to have the three stripes on their jerseys. I don't have a source for this but remember hearing this a long time ago. The stripes are something they reserve for official partners. Even with their official partners, Adidas are very picky about their hierarchy. For example, Hungary got some generic kid at Euro 2016 while top-tier Adidas teams got the new template with the stripes on the lower half of the jerseys.
It is possible that Adidas stipulated the no-stripe template in the terms and conditions of the temporary agreement, if such an agreement exists.
I'm not sure that the main Adidas company even knows about us wearing these kits. We are testing them, so I wouldn't be surprised if we are dealing with some Iranian or Arab Adidas "distributor" acting on behalf of the Adidas corporation. These don't look very high quality at all. At least not Adidas quality like I've seen from their authentic jerseys. They look like white T-Shirts with the Adidas embroidery, and not high-quality football kits.
Hopefully we can sign a legitimate contract with the actual corporation, but it won't happen. Even if our next sponsor is "Adidas" we will get third-rate quality kits imported from China. I also find it strange that we printed the Cheetah on these jerseys too. It seems clear that some Iranian dude printed this stuff at a store in Tehran. It really doesn't come off to me that these were sent to us by an authentic Adidas dealer. Someone brought these in from China, printed the symbols on, and pocketed $96,500.
I'm okay with us using crappy kits. Who really cares. It pisses me off that these kit issues just reek of corruption.
so IFF claims to have paid some $97000 for a shipment of these junk..??? holy shit...!!
these guys are just bunch of thieves, no wonder IFF is always broke..!! shameful
omfg...!! those are Fake as Fk...!!

Payment receipt:
Kits and balls: $500
IFF's Cut: $96,500.
Seems about right.
EDIT: Also, can anyone tell me why the word "climacool" looks so weird on the jersey? Is it the jersey being folded in a weird way, or does it look like the symbol is messed up in comparison to the template image?
Its the most basic adidas kit you can get. About 20 dollars each. Probably much cheaper on a bulk order.
I don't know why everyone is surprised. Adidas is generally very simple and the photography in these photos is nowhere near professional.
On one week notice I'm surprised they even were able to get the crest and cheetah on.
