Football Shirt Mystery Boxes have became MASSIVE this year and I'm aware I'm a factor in that so I thought I'd make this video investigating them to see if they're worth the money or value.

The best part of the mystery box is the surprise element, it's like a FUT pack but something worthwhile. It's also perfect for beginners that have never owned any shirts other than the clubs they support. We got a couple shirts for a video and since then started trawling through shirts we want to add to our collections
This channel is getting so good now!! This type of video is actually really great tbh. I'd love to see more informational videos where you talk about the different sites and other stuff!

I bought a secret shirt co one and I completely get the point of losing your money on it but I got a shirt from a Swiss second division team I’d never heard of which I really liked and would never get otherwise so personally I think that mystery aspect makes up for the loss of money

What has the world become lol
Bought myself a shirt from surprise shirts a few weeks ago. Got a Venezuelen home kit from a few years ago, really nice imo. Happy with the purchase
This might just be me, but I do enjoy the mystery aspect of it more than simply buying a shirt. My one time of using one of these so far, has been this Christmas for my brother. The box came in good time, and I haven’t opened it yet, and the fact that I have no idea until he opens it is quite exciting. I mean if it was a Celtic shirt, I’d be laughing right up until Christmas next year because he hates them. When you look at what prices new kits are, these are still a good alternative if you’re looking to surprise someone. And although it might have been cost you the biggest loss, that Sevilla shirt is by far and away the best looking one there
Good choice of background music pal haha, roses and the wombats. Nice video ❤️
You're bang on....every 50th person or something will get an amazing, over the value shirt, the rest will be the same/most likely below what you pay. Great video...more of the same

Great concept for a video Ellis! Real eye-opener into these companies although, of course, they're never going to look to make a loss on anything other than sending stuff to influencers... they are a business after all. I should hope people realise this when they part with their hard-earned cash.
Very good my friend. Good insight in to the boom of these type of offers.
Class video Ellis! I'm interested in another "Watchdog" mystery box scammer video! Also I might be more excited to join in the next community shirt box than for Christmas 🤣
Love Stone Roses! A couple of quick questions. Do you recycle all the packaging and is that the England 1990 shirt that was in New Order's World in Motion video?
Awesome insight - thanks for that. And really good work to clarify about sample size and the variables - I salute the rigour! Personally I like shirts more than surprises but whatever floats boats 😁

Currently awaiting my first mystery box from secret shirt co and this pops up in recommended lol I completely get your point in terms of value, but as you said yourself they're not gonna send shirts they make a loss on, it's a business. The main point of mystery shirts is the surprise and randomness of it. Yes you could just go buy your own shirt that's better value, but those type of customers aren't the target demographic of these companies. If that's your priority then you shouldn't get a mystery box I'm expecting to get a shirt that costs less than what I paid, but it's the intrigue that I don't know what I'm getting which makes it a fun purchase for me personally. You need to decide which you want more, the fun or the value

How is that getting ripped off? I mean, you pay for a shirt you would never go out and buy yourself. If you wanted a big team shirt, just buy that instead of a mystery box.

Was curious to see if they’re send better ones due to your platform, great idea with the fake name David 😉 personally I think spending time attempting to get good bargains on eBay, deals on websites is a more better option although I suppose you pay for anticipation more than the shirt itself. None the less good video mate 👍

what year is that red bull new york shirt? would love to get my hands on one. great vid
I’ve used Mystery jerseys a couple of times now my 1st purchase got me a AC Milan shirt from about 3/4 years ago worth £20-25. My second was this seasons Lyon away shirt which I was very impressed with.
Gonna start ordering these mystery boxes using my new alias 'Ellis Platten' 😂
Mystique Jerseys are the best simply for the fact you are not guaranteed a good club and also the shirts are most times sold to you cheaper than they are bought
Ellis, what're your thoughts on the Canadian PL jerseys?
Yr at 10k now 😁 just followed and like 👍
That backdrop is filth😍😍😍😍

Would love a mystery box. Always considered getting one myself but was unsure which to get. Any suggestions??
Can you do the same video but pretend to be verified
I get for people that want to get rare valuable shirts these things seem a waste of time, but for me i just wanted any random shirt, because I know if I went on classic football shirts I'd just get a well known top tier team or a well known classic shirt, but at least with the mystery boxes you can get a clean shirt from a team you wouldnt have thought of before.
I just knew you'd get the Sevilla shirt when you put up that it's a tenner on CFS
Your postman must be a busy man 😂
I’m going to put in an order with a mystery box company and say my name is Ellis Platten...surely a straight win
