You know what's really interesting...the fact that there are sites that straight up sell "replica" clothing...I did a little research on some Affliction shirts b/c my buddy's sister just got back from Thailand and bought him a couple "Affliction" shirts on some street markets...either way, here's what I found...

Replica fashion---Wholesale replica clothes, replica clothing, replica apparel, replica jeans, replica hoodies, replica hoody, replica shirts, replica pants, replica shoes, replica handbags, replica wallet, replica jewelry, replica belts, replica wat

I don't see how the hell they straight up have a website doing this, but I think they can get away with it b/c they make it VERY clear that it's fake clothes...kinda like those carts in the mall that sell sunglasses "in the style" of expensive name brands...

I just dont understand why a Pro MMA fighter would actually wear a FAKE Affliction shirt of another MMA fighter, and especially from a competing Organization in Affliction. Maybe he did it as a joike or something. Idk??

As strange as it sounds, some people actually want to buy FAKE stuff because they dont want to spend money on the REAL stuff. My firend sells Affliction, Ed Hardy, Salvage, Tapout etc to stores on the Wildwood, NJ & Atlantic City Boardwalks and the store owners ask them to bring them FAKE stuff because people want to buy the fake stuff because they dont want to spend the money for the authentic stuff.

karos shirt doesnt say "kustom" on it. Maybe its a new brand that just COPIED karos affliction...however, it does look like a cheap knock off

I remember my friend was looking at the gsp shirt and called it " affection " and I laughed at him for a while.

Yeah. If it can be copied, it'll be pirated. It's sad because pirating destroys an industry completely, but the main issue is Affliction selling $60 t-shirts. So it works both ways, pirates robbing from the company/manufacturer and company/manufacturer robbing from the consumer. VICIOUS! Good find.

why do they think they need their shirts to cost between 65-100 bucks anyway, almost all other brands sell t shirts between 20 and 30, i know that i would for sure have a couple affliction shirts if they were cheaper and i might acctually buy the ppv's but with there retarted prices i think ill just watch them over the net and buy ufc ones live
