Adidas Soccer Jerseys
Adidas Player Version

-
Breathability. An authentic version has Climachill technology featuring a mesh back panel to keep you cool and comfortable.
-
Lightweight. The team logos (the crests) and sponsor logos (the ads) are heat-pressed so reduce the weight added from the more traditional embroidered versions.
Adidas Fan Version or Normal Jerseys
The replica, which pro players don’t wear but which is the popular pick among fans, runs 999 INR and offers a more relaxed fit and straight hem to be worn from the stands or on the streets.
