    Got this jersey, but noticed that everyone else's jerseys had printed everything where as mine was all stitched. Is it a Chinese knock off? I've had several compliments on it so now i feel like they were messing with me b/c they knew it was a knockoff.

    now that is a bad knockoff, they couldn't even get the fabric right, and the color of the numbers looks like an off red shade. Plus if its stitched, it should be a number size, not the actual size labels.

    It's happen to me buying one via eBay with Rockets jerseys, so don't feel bad. Just afraid how much you paid for it...

    I have seen some stitched jerseys before at foot locker. They cost more than the standard 80 dollar ones.

    The thing is, he had a blue Mercilus and and that one was all screen printed. At first look, i thought that felt fake so i went with the white foster which was all stitched.

    If it's fake, it's well done.


    I am no jersey expert though.

    Did I miss out on something? Is it bad to wear a fake jersey? Who cares what others think. It looks like a nice jersey to wear.

    I'd wear it, no shame in it, just better knockoffs out there, and I've seen worse

    $60? the ones I had a discussion about were about $45 shipped (cheaper if you buy more), and looked better.

    Sorry bro, hate the feeling

    just accept the fact that you got screwed. admit to your friends yea it's fake...oh well. might as well put it to use. hell, if you're that worried about what your peers might say, just wear it while you're BBQing.

    i'm guessing the TS is young. when you're young you care a lot of what people think and no wants to be seen (get caught) wearing fake gucci or a jersey. but no one wants to get cheated either. paying $60 for what you thought was real can hurt a bit.

    When you get something 75% off it is usually fake. But it doesnt look that bad. Ill buy it for 30.

    The knockoffs are more prevalent than the authentic jerseys when I see people out at parties, sports bars. If a guy walked up to me and said my jersey was fake I'd brush him off and tell him, " no thanks bro, I'm not gay"
