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?

Insanity. Over double the cost the jersey my dad bought for me at my first game 10 years ago.

Go to eBay. You can honestly get good condition jerseys and a fuck load of variety. Hell you can get vintage starter jerseys for $25-$50.

I really wanted a new Seahawks throwback this year. Went to my first game and checked them out in the pro shop. They looked so cheap for the price they were asking, fuck that. I really wanted a Witherspoon one, but ill have to look at a knockoff instead.

it's because it has a holographic emblem dawg, a duh. /s

in all seriousness, $170 for a jersey, come the fuck on. Even on thanksgiving, I had to go through 30 minutes, just to find the fucking game I wanted to watch (49ers vs. Seahawks).

and then after all that, even with an NFL+ subscription, I basically missed the entire 1st quarter because some advertiser didn't know how to target a demographic

Nfl shop? They have the vapor ones with stitching and they are always like 25-30% off.

What I'm hearing is I should go sell my Walter Payton jersey because it's got actual stitching

I was fully prepared to pay full price for a Seahawks throwback but learned the New Jerseys aren’t even stitched. $180 for a fuckin heat pressed Jersey. Chinese knock off it was, arguably looks better and was $30 lmao. Don’t support the NFL shop until they improve quality, it’s ridiculous.

If you’re on NFL shop mailing lists they have 25-30% off sales constantly and 40-50% off sales less often but several times a year. Wait it out and buy it then. You’ll get less ripped off. Jerseys went to shit when they left Reebok in 2012. Those Reebok jerseys are amazing. I still have a bunch and the fabric and stitching looks great on all of them.

This is why I buy straight from China. If I'm gonna get the same quality, might as well pay as little as possible.

Here to add another middle finger to Fanatics

They only sell for that price because they can get that price. People need to quit being dumb and spending all that money on cheap overpriced crap.

I just bought a Mitchell and Ness jersey. Hopefully it's better quality

I have been a jersey-head for years and years. When the Titans announced that they were doing throwbacks over the summer I was really excited. Then my DH-22 arrived. The shield was crooked af. So I complained. So they sent me another one. Guess what? Yep. Shield crooked af. So the sent my $ back and I have two shitty jerseys.

[–] alqv@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You know you can buy one that looks identical for $10 right?

Is there a place for people to share pics of their China jerseys? Checked out the site, but hard to tell if they are selling something at least decent.

[–] Thrillseeker0001@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If anyone needs help with buying jerseys from China let me know, I’m currently based in Guangzhou, and I can get shipping on a discount for ya, and probably get the same quality but cheaper prices.
