The current state of jersey buying is depressing: (alien.top)

Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?

If you care about quality at all I think and don't mind the players being a litter older, ebay is really your best friend. You can find high quality, stitched jerseys often for under $50.

Honestly for $170 you are getting a knock off quality jersey. The elites are cool but are about double the price.

That being said, I think a lot of people buy these when they attend games and want something to take home and keep forever. Personally, I would not buy a new standard jersey from the NFL because of the chasm between quality and price.

I also don't fuck with DH Gate because it confuses me and don't know how to tell who produces decent knock offs.

I've ordered off DH gate a few times. All the jerseys I've gotten you wouldn't know are fake unless you were told. Their shipping is awful though. Takes like a month a half from purchasing until you actually receive it

I compared my DH gate and real jerseys and you couldn’t tell the difference unless you really looked.

And anyone who gatekeeps another fan by walking up with a magnifying glass and demanding to know if it's authentic or not is a chode. Clothes are clothes, nobody should care what someone else is wearing.

On the flip side, I’ve had a couple dh gate basketball jersey back in the day that were clearly fake with weird font or letter spacing

I got a brewers jersey that was pretty poor quality and haven’t bought from there since.

DH is the way to go now.

It’s because it comes from China and they have to use an odd postage system to get it past customs.

I buy all of my jerseys for myself and my son on eBay. I don’t get much any more for myself (I have my slate of old player jerseys), but my son likes to get jerseys of different teams so I just grab cool older players for like $15 on eBay. I could never pay $100 for a jersey he might be able to wear for a year and a half that I know is low quality.
