We are judge and party, so let’s say it straight away. This comparison therefore sticks to public facts, collected on 18 October 2026 from each brand’s website, with a link to the source. Where a competitor is better, we say so. Where a piece of information is not published, we say that too: we do not guess it.
The product compared is the short-sleeve football jersey, in each brand’s entry-level model when there are several. Our prices are excluding VAT; for each competitor, the VAT basis is the one stated on its own page. Prices are per identical design, delivery extra everywhere.

How to read it. Our prices exclude VAT. Spized’s include VAT (“Prix TTC, frais de livraison en sus” on the product page). Owayo’s include VAT for a consumer in the EU or Switzerland (T&Cs, art. 3.1); for a business, VAT is added (art. 3.4); the F3 Basic prices are current prices shown next to struck-through prices. NOLT’s, when given, include VAT (T&Cs, art. 4). The Decathlon Pro product page states neither. The Viralto jerseys belong to Decathlon’s Kipsta range.
To compare fairly, we add 20% VAT to our prices excluding VAT, the rate we charge a club in the European Union without an intra-EU VAT number, and set them against the VAT-inclusive prices shown by Spized (Rio, entry level) and Owayo (F3 Basic).
Send a photo: the AI reproduces your design. Or write your instructions: it creates the design. Then team mode shows each player’s name and number, you move the placements, and a built-in editing tool retouches your visuals, photos and logos, without leaving the configurator.
Eight tiers from 1 to 500 pieces, shown without a quote: €16.84 excl. VAT per jersey from 500. The public grids of Spized and Owayo stop at the 100-piece tier; Decathlon Pro shows a single price, NOLT and Erima no price at all.
One piece is ordered like fifty, and a player’s reorder uses the same design. Decathlon Pro requires 5 items, Erima 20 pieces (or 30% more).
2 to 5 weeks of production after the proof depending on the product, and an express option from 72 hours on request for urgent orders (surcharge shown on the quote). NOLT announces 4 to 6 weeks, Erima about 8 weeks and Decathlon Pro 8 to 10 weeks. Owayo announces 2 to 5 weeks including delivery: depending on the moment and the product, it can be faster.

A comparison that never proves anyone else right is not a comparison. Here are their advantages, and what we have to set against them when we have something.
