Shanghai Port 2025 Home — Sleek, subtle, and built for the derby

4.0 / 5

Port's red-dominant 2025 release keeps things minimal — and that's its biggest strength. Fabric weight lands between replica and authentic.

Pros

  • Lightweight Dri-Tech weave
  • Crisp sponsor placement

Cons

  • Stitching on sleeve cuff
  • Limited edition runs pricey
Editor's verdict A confident, modern kit that finally lets the badge breathe. Worth the upgrade for fans who prefer a tailored fit over flashy graphics.

China PR 1997 Remake — A faithful tribute to the golden generation

4.5 / 5

The remake keeps the iconic red chest bar and oversized "97" wordmark. Heavier cotton-blend fabric than modern replicas, but that's the point.

Pros

  • Period-correct collar
  • Soft, vintage hand-feel

Cons

  • Runs warm in summer
  • Sizing leans slim
Editor's verdict A collector's piece first, a match-day jersey second. If you grew up watching the 1997 squad, this is the one to frame.

Wuhan Three Towns 2025 Away — A bold geometric experiment that mostly pays off

3.5 / 5

Heavy on ambition, the chevron pattern catches the eye but the inner-sleeve taping comes loose after four washes. A near-miss, not a flop.

Pros

  • Distinctive design language
  • Comfortable crew neckline

Cons

  • Sleeve stitching frays
  • Pattern polarising
Editor's verdict A love-it-or-leave-it release. The pattern is striking in stadium light, but build quality needs a step up next season.

Guangzhou FC 2025 Authentic — Tailored heat, but the price stings

3.0 / 5

Authentic-tier fabric is the best in the domestic market, but retail pricing now rivals top European clubs — a tough sell for casual fans.

Pros

  • Pro-cut, slim fit
  • Excellent moisture wicking

Cons

  • ¥899 retail price
  • Limited size run
Editor's verdict Premium execution, but the price hike outpaces the design gains. Buy if you train in it; skip for casual wear.

Chengdu Rongcheng 2025 Home — Crowd-pleasing colors, dependable build

4.0 / 5

The panda-inspired shoulder detail is the year's most charming touch. Reliable construction, broad sizing, and a price that respects the supporter.

Pros

  • Subtle cultural nod
