It’s easy to watch Lionel Messi play in the United States, but dressing like him is a bit more difficult.

Fans hoping to purchase an authentic Inter Miami jersey featuring its newest star’s name will have to wait until mid-October . Adidas, the jersey’s official manufacturer, said in a statement that demand for the $160 shirt is “truly unprecedented.” That’s hindering a number of sellers, including MLS’ official online store, which is warning buyers of the mid-October delivery date.

com has plenty of Messi-branded T-shirts on sale and ready to ship, which Lalor said have “sold pretty well.” It’s not the first time that Adidas has struggled with Messi mania: Last year, following the soccer star’s first-ever FIFA World Cup win, Adidas quickly sold out of his Argentina kit worldwide. The World Cup was a boon for Adidas’ bottom line.
