Default Pro Sport Jersey's NFL, NHL, MBL, NBA

Came across this site which is offering pro sport jersey's at seriously discounted prices. A buddy of mine purchased 5 NFL jerseys for roughly $150.00. Placed his order 10 days ago and recieved them yesterday. Now I'm sure these are knock-offs but having looked at them I'm extremely impressed, the constuction is good, all the numbers and lettering are stitched, logo's are where there supposed to be. Its extremely difficult to fine anything wrong with these. just looking around on there I'm liking the Bobby Orr throwback.

Also here is a link to a message board where these are being discused

$30 isn't bad for knock-offs -- however, at a quick glance it looks like most jerseys are listed in the $45 to $65 range. Where did the $30 price tag come from?

EDIT: Okay, clicked on the other link -- looks like it's a volume discount thing (I didn't see it posted anywhere on the site)

Well if these are indeed knockoffs you might want to act quick as the NFL doesnt funk around with unlicensed use of their logos, players etc
That in itself would put your money at risk me thinks.

The NFL jersey's are cheaper than the NHL. 5 NFL jersey's came out to roughly $150.00 CDN and I believe a $10 shipping cost. I've seen the jerseys- Fitzgerald, Peterson, Calvin Johnson, P Manning, cant rememeber the other one. I was hard pressed to find anything wrong with these. At first I was like...there has to be something wrong with these but...

Just received this today. First impression, the red is a little darker I think, and the NHL logo isn't centered perfectly on the neck, but thats a really easy fix. Other than that, it looks pretty good!

Here are some pictures:

Looks very fake, congrats I guess. Good price though for a fraudulent product.

ATR - the pictures look pretty good. In your opinion, is it worth it? Is the quality good enough to justify the price (not that it's that much)?

I'm thinking of a few football/hockey jerseys, but I want to hear from a knowledgeable source.

Is it just me or does the lettering and the C look funny? The fabric they're made out of that is. Maybe it is just the flash from the camera but my C doesn't look that shiny.

Let me just say this: You get what you pay for. For $65 I think it was worth the gamble. The fabric in the C is accentuated by the flash for sure.

I don't accept the congrats though... obviously its fake, but it will be my party jersey, and I will keep my authentic pristine.

How do you even distinguish the knockoffs from the authentics?

ATRs is a great example. The cresting is all wrong. The color is darker. The tags aren't what they should be. etc etc etc.

I'm looking to get my jersey crested but so far my only option is using the Fanattic cresting program. Do they do quality work or is it the cheap silk screened numbers and namebar.

The lettering and numbering look better than what you would get from nhl.com.

Recieved my jersey's yesterday. 5 jersey's $150, free delivery. Also I accidently duplicated the order. Sent a letter to ensurte they credited my account...no problems. Anyway, three NFL throwbacks, Staubach (blue), L.Taylor (blue), Dickerson (blue) in addition Peterson (purple) and Laron Landry (red). All I'm say is extremely impressed with these, I have other football jersey's that I have bought through stores and I'll be doing all my jersey from here from now on...with confidence. I compared these to photo's of ones the players are wearing and the striping, lettering, number font are all virtually bang on. In addition the construction of these is very good. A buddy of mine also purchased 5 of these and we are both in agreement. These would be nice jersey's if they $100.

And when it comes down to the long and short of it, they're knock offs. And I couldn't own one. I got burned online a while back and got rid of them. Well I sold them to people for less than I payed for people that didn't care. But I did.

Fanattic has two options. You can either have a name bar pressed - not silk screened - or you can send it away and have it stitched. Let me tell you right now, get it stitched. The glue they need to use to press it on feels really heavy on the back, and if you have a jersey with a longer name like Kiprusoff, the shoulders end up feeling very stiff.

Takes a week or two to have it sewn, but far better feel and weight.
