I dont care because the price is good. I am aware of what I am buying.Adebisi said:I'm kind of surprised you guys are giving this so much thought. Who really cares if they're counterfeit or not?gmbacm said:You can justify these purchases however you like for yourself, but they are counterfeits. Google counterfeit jerseys and you will see this. Personally Im not going to pay $200-$300 for an authentic jersey. If they were priced more reasonably I would. But when I can get something that looks decent enough for a fraction of the price Ill go for it. But Im not going to fool myself into thinking they are not counterfeit.CrossEyed said:I don't know, I've now seen 12 jerseys (NFL, NHL, and MLB) and on almost every one I can find something that is subtle but might cause it to fail an inspection process. You might be right, but I'm still not sure.I've got 10 more that should arrive tomorrow (almost all Steeler jerseys) so we'll see how they look.gmbacm said:We received 15 shirts from three sports here - Im 100% confident these aren't defects but are knockoffs, bootlegs, counterfeit - whatever you want to call them. Good enough for me though.CrossEyed said:Hey guys, now that I have a few more jerseys, I'm starting to think that these are genuine Reebok jerseys that just didn't pass the inspection process. To the untrained eye, most of the "defects" wouldn't even be noticed, but the closer I look, I'm finding things on almost every jersey. My first white Polamalu had a crooked yellow "M" on the 2-colored lettering. The Malkin I just got has a slightly crooked name plate, the Fleury has "2"s on the sleeve that look almost more like "Z"s, the Letang has an "N" that is slightly off, just like my Polamalu. On a second Polamalu in black, the two "L"s in his name both look just a little crooked. My throwback Bradshaw lettering is not cut quite straight and doesn't perfectly match up with the stitching.So I'm starting to think that they aren't bootleg jerseys, I'm thinking they are considered "seconds" or "defects". Not that I'm complaining because, for the price, they are more than worth it.
