    Might be something for the advertising standards agency or trading standards given the images show the official letters and the product you receive doesn't match the image? I would certainly say it is misleading using those images, so could be worth asking citizens advice or trading standards directly.
    100% I don’t understand why anyone would say otherwise.

    On the my ID advert it clearly shows an official premier league style print & logo. Even with the text stating it’s different it’s a misrepresentation.

    Whether they’d do anything about it is another matter. It’s Sports Direct who aren’t exactly consumer friendly

    Indeed.  There's a lesson to be learned about buying cheap stuff from the shed-based jogger-floggers.
