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.

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

          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.

      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.
