Are these jerseys legit?

They look legit, but they almost seem to good to be true.

I haven't gotten a jersey in quite some time, and the only current player jersey I have is Steve's. So, I'm wanting to get a new one. Normally, I wouldn't get a jersey for a rookie, but if I could get one for a deal, such as these..

No they aren't legit but for 27 bucks does it matter? It looks better than screen printed jerseys and are 60 bucks cheaper.

What about them is messed up?

I mean, I don't wanna look at those pictures, and then order one, and it come in and it look nothing like the pictures..You know, no NFL logo, cheesy hand-drawn and steam pressed Panther logo on the sleeve...that thing.

Thats it really. No they aren't authentic. Most of the jerseys have embroidered sleeve emblems of the panther which instantly identify them as knockoffs. But who really cares. Most folks don't know that, and the rest don't care. I have a couple knockoffs and for the difference between an authentic sewn letter jersey which cost 250 bucks and this, I would go with this.

Problem for me is I want a Greg Hardy and I can't find it unless I pay the 250 for a custom jersey.

Yeah I hear ya. My buddy bought a Broncos jersey off a site like that and it doesn't look bad at all. I think you should be fine. To be completely honest I plan on buying a teal Clausen jersey within the next few days off a site like that. I wouldn't be too worried about anything looking like complete poo haha.

Walmart is selling these jerseys

http://walmart.scene7.com/walmart/flash_zoom.jsp?company=WalMart&sku=11040545&config=WalMart/zoom_config&default=0072780880687&title=NFL%20-%20Men%27s%20Minnesota%20Vikings%20%2328%20Adrian%20Peterson%20Jersey&categoryid=5438

Last I saw, the one near me. They had Smith, Stewart and Clausen. No Williams or Moore. They were $30. real cheap looking.

weird thing is they had some Charger jerseys...:confused:

What do you mean? :confused:

Most legit companies buy the jersey blanks from the NFl approved sites which screenprint the team logos on the sleeve and then the compamy puts on the numbers and the nameplate.

These jersey blanks are not bought through the NFL and are screenprinted. So the company that makes them simply put on the logos, numbers and nameplate from scratch. The panther logos look legit but thet are emroidered and sewn on not screenprinted. Other than that, they look almost identical.

THey are knockoffs made overseas which is why they are so cheap.

Hmmmm......:idea:

And what's your take on the number supposedly being too small on the front?

I usually buy my jerseys off of EBAY. Sometimes you will get a real one. For example, I bought a Chris Harris that was clearly fake, but I didn't care. I also bout a Fitzgerald that was real and paid 50 for it. Then I bought a Westbrook white Eagles, for 45, it came to me still with the original price tag of like 200 dollars on it. Looks like it was stolen right off the back of a truck, but I didn't care. Somebody got hustled and it wasn't me.

for the most part I would agree. I have purchased a few off ebay and they seem to be a great duplicate of the real thing.

However lately ebay has been flooded with these types of jerseys. They are not using the same blue, it isn't that "carolina blue" but a lighter blue, almost like the Tarheels. I purchased a stewart and it was just awful.

I got a Clausen jersey from these folks, it's close to right but if you really know what an authentic Panthers jersey looks like you can tell immediatley that it's a knock off. I got a blue jersey and the blue is off a few shades... the other tell is that the silver borders of the shoulder stripes are more white then silver.

I returned mine because I wasn't happy with it, but if you like it then that's all that really matters.

    • Coaches can't mentor, they coach, they are two entirely different things, and your coaches can also only do so many things at one time.  When they're running a drill, the vets are pulling the young guys aside after their reps and giving tips while waiting for the drill to reset. You do also realize that for the most part, players are only around the coaches in the film room and on the field, coaches aren't in the locker room other than just before the game and at half.  That's another place someone like Thielen shines, he's always been a pro's pro, he's going to take these young WRs under his wing and team them how you go about being an NFL player. That's not stuff coaches do, you NEED the vets for it and Thielen has embraced the role.  When you have a guy who made his career on doing the little things right, and he is willing to be that vet mentor to a group of young WRs in their 1st or 2nd year that you hope to be your future 1-4, then he's worth every penny we're giving him this year.
    • Why in Minnesota? That's bizarre. Not like we have a vet WR who played his college ball and the majority of his NFL ball in Minnesota that a few room temperature IQ Panthers fans want to poo on who was obviously brought in every bit as much to mentor young WRs as much as he was to play who has still managed to put up decent numbers in awful offenses in the twilight of his career. Anyone who thinks the Panthers haven't gotten everything out of Thielen that they signed up for shouldn't be taken seriously.
