I was on the verge of getting a Dominique and Richmond throwback but then realized it wasn't on a https server and the vendor is operating overseas. Seems suspect.

Maybe that site is a scam.. I don't know but I have purchased several really good knockoffs from other sites for cheap. PM if you want the sites...

Fashiononlineshop.com used to have jerseys that looked 99% authentic for like 20, 25 bucks shipping included. I know a few Vikings fans that got them and compared them to $250 authentic jerseys and the ONLY difference was the ribbing on the team color around the neck.

The site got shut down by the feds last year but apparently some of these sweatshops know what they're doing.

I just can't wear a jersey anymore. I think after a certain age you just can't wear a jersey. i'm 26, i'm doomed to spend

i could wear one to a game, but i can't justify buying a jersey just, so i could wear it to a game.

#1 reason to buy quality knock off jerseys: So when you hook up with an awesome chick, she wears it in the morning.

Not because you want to wear it at a game. Who cares what you wear to a game, as long as it's red!

This whole thing reminds me of The Great Taco Scam from my college days at Virginia. Having lived in China, you wouldn't believe the cheap, counterfeit black-market stuff that's out there.

I wanted to buy a Yi jersey as a souvenir and was about to buy the actual authentic jersey (Bucks) but a Chinese friend assured me he could get me "the same thing" for 80% less the price.

Wound up making one custom made and while the front is the real thing, the back was a different color font and completely fake. Looks like a Jr. High basketball team jersey.

Oh well, I got about what I paid for.

Just glad I didn't run up an order of $120 like I did on all those tacos way back when.

I rarely wear my jerseys out as everyday attire but I always feel the need to throw one on while watching a game :shrug:

And of course to games and sports bars when the game is on.

I always feel strange wearing jerseys. Whenever I wear them I either feel like the High School girl whose playing footsie by wearing the jersey of the guy on the football team (it's not our name on the back of it in other words) or if I see someone wearing one, my reaction has always been to laugh and say "Man, Patrick Ewing sure is out of shape - and looks short and white on top of that."

I wear baseball and hockey jerseys occasionally..

All of my basketball jerseys are jordans, pippens, rodmans so they are a little small.

I have bought all my pro sports jerseys off eBay from a price range of $25-$35 with shipping being included.

All of my sellers were from Hong Kong & I got the authentics from them. My most recent was the old school Jordan alternate pinstripped Nike jersey. Not the actual old Champs version from the 90's but its the real deal. I have always been happy ordering off eBay for them. It takes some looking but you can find those sellers from time to time.
