Chinese Companies selling MLB Jerseys

[datrain711]

Has anyone else here ordered MLB jerseys from websites based in China? I have ordered a handful from a few sites, and the deals are incredible, but I'm sure the legality of it may be questionable.

 

for instance, I bought a handful of authentic jerseys on one site and they ended up only being $28 a piece including shipping. I wore my Braun one into the Brewers clubhouse, and I couldn't even tell the difference between the one I had and the ones that were retailing for $200. The jersey I got was embroidered with the proper patches and everything. They even have cool base ones which seem to be made from the proper material. (the cool base authentic ones are being sold for $300 on the brewers website)

 

I'm not sure if I should post the website here or not, certainly I'm not trying to spam, I just wanted to see if anyone else here has had similar experiences. If it is ok though I'd be glad to include the website info.

We purchased a bunch as a group on bf.net and I thought they looked great. I cannot remember the name of the site though. It should be cool to post the name of the site as we organized the entire purchase in the trading post. PM me the name of the site if you don't want to post it as I want to get a few new jerseys.

We used nfljerseysupply.com when we did it on the trading post.

[And That]

However, it looks like you won't be using nfljerseysupply.com again.

I find the retro jerseys look very similar to the real ones. But the current style jerseys look wrong to me, you can spot the fakes pretty easily. I have seen many at the ballpark that have the gold piping almost being a yellow color, fonts for names and numbers wrong. I'm a stickler uniform snob though so maybe it's just me http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I know a site, PM if you are interested.

[datrain711]

The sites I've used are:

 

googlejerseysshop.net

and pickjerseys

 

there are definitely mistakes on some of the jerseys on the website ( I think that one of the grey Brewers jersey has the state patch on it) but the ones I've gotten I'd rate as 98% quality. The cool base jerseys I ordered on googlejerseys have a really nice material.

 

I guess it is a question of whether you want to pay a lot of money for one guaranteed to be the REAL deal, or if you don't mind it not being perfect.

 

The Braun jersey I have does look pretty much identical to those in the store at least.

My girlfriend just bought one for me. She ordered it 2 weeks ago and it still hasnt arrived. I know she is getting worried because she said the site looked normal but then her card charged her an international fee. When she went to the site they said they do not use a phone and only reply to emails......pretty fishy.

I have bought several of them as well and couldn't be more happy with them. Even if they are off a little, $25 is way better than paying $200

Anyone bought a Rick Vaughn jersey and if so, did it look good? PM me if you want. I'm looking for one for a Halloween costume this year.

[Paul77]

Wow. Not sure what to say. I'm not trusting any company selling these:

That Braddock jersey looks like a half jersey, almost like a womans cut. The number on the Molitor jersey is way off center. The trim is wrong. Not to mention the fonts on both are wrong.

Though I will admit, I've always wanted a #21 EscoBRA jersey.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but buyer beware.

[datrain711]

yeah I noticed Escobra and the immortal #52 Egan jerseys on there lol. I've probably been lucky so far, but the handful of jerseys that me and my friends have ordered have all been very nice.

Of course they are illegal. No different than purchasing a bootleg DVD or CD. Go to nfljerseysupply.com. The DOJ seized that website.

[RockCoCougars]

I never wanted to lay out $200 for an authentic one, but this is going to be too tough to resist....OK come clean, which of you guys on here have bought one of these? They must have sold a few.http://www.pick-jerseys.com/pic/20115251355017164.jpg

RockCo, I saw the Dickerson jersey as well and immediately thought Brewerfan should make a pool to have a case of 500 Chris Dickerson jerseys shipped to you. It would cost $7,500, but it would be well worth it.

[stoutdude04]

I got my Weeks Authentic the other day in the mail. It was supposed to be the blue uni with Milwaukee on the front.... The jersey looks ok, except it says Brewers on the front and the stripe thats on the sleeve is BRIGHT yellow. Not even close to the the gold thats on the rest of the uni.

Good heavens. They could have just added an H on the end so guys could pretend Alcides was their Esco BRAH.

If I ever see one of these wonders at MP I'm going to just assume it's someone from Brewerfan and introduce myself.

I had good luck with a Jermichael Finley jersey I ordered, but never ordered a baseball jersey. Think I'll keep it that way.

I had good luck with a Jermichael Finley jersey I ordered, but never ordered a baseball jersey. Think I'll keep it that way.

I've gotten 4 football and 2 hockey jerseys and they've all looked great. I've also gotten 6 baseball jerseys (2 of the same, 5 throwbacks) which have all looked great except for the new white Braun jersey. The "Brewers" script on the front looks smaller than what it should and the alignment looks a little off too. So I would say that for the most part, the jerseys look great (especially football, hockey, and soccer that friends have ordered). Throwback baseball ones (Mitchell & Ness) look good too but the newer baseball ones are where the problems come in.

Also, the sizes on the baseball ones seem to be one size smaller than what they actually are (XL fits like an L, XXL fits like an XL, etc.). My football and hockey ones were XXL and fit great (hockey even a little loose) but I couldn't even pull the baseball ones over my body. Luckily I've lost about 50 pounds so I can finally fit those baseball ones.

Ive ordered a Hockey jersey and it looks fantastic. Even came with Reebok tags on it.

The team licencing fees might be more than what these are going for. Do people just want to pretend that there's a chance these are legit? I won't pretend that I've never downloaded music illegally but I didn't try to convince myself I might not be stealing.

[Invader3K]

I don't know. Not to knock anyone here, but a lot of the knock offs I've seen people wearing around Miller Park or other stadiums just seem obvious. The fonts are wrong, weird spacing, bad stitching, etc. I wonder how well the stitching and materials hold up as well.

 

I guess I don't get why people don't save up and get a legit replica jersey for $70-80. Just my opinion...not trying to be overly critical or tell other people how to handle their finances.

[datrain711]

I was in total agreement with you about just paying $80 bucks for a good one, but the jerseys being sold on those sites are "authentic", meaning that it would cost $200-$250 to get the real ones.

 

For instance, i ordered some cool base jerseys. They are really nice when it is warm out, and althought the font is not 100% identical (but very close), it only cost me $25 bucks which is insane to me.

Yeah these are not $80 jerseys for $20. These are $200+ jerseys. The tags on my M&N Yount & Molitor jerseys say $520. That's probably wrong cuz the M&N website lists at $250. However, like I said, I can't tell any difference with the throwback jerseys. Mine look exactly like the pictures and they even have the Cooperstown tag as well as the M&N neck label. The only differences that noticeable are with the new baseball jerseys. For $20 each ($40 for hockey), I think it's a great deal.

rawbecht, could you post photos of your jerseys to compare to those pictures that you posted? I wonder if our detective work could find anything different. You don't have to, of course, I'm just wondering if you'd allow us to look and compare.
