"Player edition" and "fan edition" are the two words on almost every football jersey sold in Bangladesh, and they decide the price. This guide explains what each one means, what each costs, and which one to buy.
The short answer
- Fan edition is the replica: the same design and colours in a regular fit, made for everyday wear. At Goalkit most fan edition shirts are ৳599.
- Player edition follows the cut and weight of the shirt players wear in the match, so it sits closer to the body. At Goalkit a player edition shirt is ৳899 or ৳1,100, depending on the shirt.
