    The woman in the pic says that she has never used a sweater like this, is the pic manipulated? The womain is the major in a norwegian town and the sweater is a Bandidos sweater, she will not admit using it :D

    It looks like the wording and bike have been slapped on - look at the border of the letters and round the bike. I think she wore a plain sweatshirt but wording and bike were added later.

    Yes, I too think like that.. Really the picture of that bike & letters looks like it is added there using image editing software.

    Can't really say its fake though, look at the thread hanging down over locals, if someone has manipulated this pix, must be really good at what he / she was doing, otherwise, looks really Real to my eyes.

    Cheers

    The poor quality photo helps hide the 'edge' around the letters.
    A casual look leaves the viewer thinking it's real.

    ~~~~
    It is 100% Fake:

    I just looked at it with 400% magnification.
    • They used an image with the letters, graphic, and a transparent background, so...
    • In the middle of the 'fake area', the background looks exactly like the original.

    And the squiggly toggle thread is just that ... a squiggly line done with the paintbrush.

    To me the area on her neck looks a bit funny. (Her left shoulder/neck).

    It's real... :)
    Look at the word "support" ... now look at the area between P and O it's clear enough that the letters follow the wrinkles of the sweater :D

    You might be right, here is a close-up.
    IMO, it still looks fake.

    Hehe, mayor.
    The news papers here are fighting with the mayor now. Bandidos is not popular here.

    looks real to me ... there's a slight chance that its fake , but it would need a real photoshop professional to edit it that good if it was fake ..

    I'm slightly in agreement with Redders. Why aren't there any shadows on her neck? It's perfectly smooth. Also, the one shadow at the back left shoulder doesn't appear to match with the light behind her and the sweatshirt.

    That odd light behind could come from the picture at the wall reflecting the light from the camera.

    Looks like a nintendo head transplant, but not as well done :D

    And those drawn on earrings SO don't go with that hairdo.

    I think it looks a bit funny around the neck area as well.
