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?

    Simple fact is…as long as people keep buying them then nothing will change. Go to any game and there are 30k morons all wearing them…got you all by the balls and they know it.

    Never mind that. The costs to actually go to a game are getting out of reach these days.

    They knockoffs are 50/50 being completely horrible though. I have multiple from dh gate. 3 look like clear fakes, really bad quality, won’t wear them. 1 is perfect

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

    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.

    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.

      You can tell me the jersey you want, I’ll find it, check it out, quality etc, I can ship it, and you can Zelle me after you get it and you’re happy with it. My company regularly sends shit to the states, so I can get a discount on shipping as well.

    If you think the cheap Chinese knock off will do the same job as the real thing then you may as well go for it.

    I mean if NFL GM thought a cheap Chinese knock off could do the same job as their starting RB they would.

    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.

    Wifey and I are about to come from Aus to the US to our first game, I assume Walmart sells terrible quality jerseys? Was thinking about getting some there before the cowboys game and also the Dallas stars game we will go to…
