Selling stitched on NFL jerseys (and other sports) for $29.99.

Sounds kinda sketchy, but at the same time I've heard they are legitimate. What should be my concerns?

I can tell you for sure the site hasn't been updated for a long time. Theyre selling a Daniel Coats jersey and he hasn't been a Bengal for over a year. Then theres the spelling on the about us page.. Looks pretty iffy.

They also don't have a customer service page, etc.

If you have $30 to blow on what is likely an unrealistic fabrication of a jersey, then it's zero-risk to you. If $30 is a risk to you, pass. I know this seems obvious, but the likelihood that these things don't pass muster is ridiculously high. So, if you don't mind taking the risk, then there is no risk, so to speak.

It's probably a Chinese website, so shipping may be an issue, too. These shipments get stopped with some regularity; I can't speak for upnorth, but their competitors often have issues (I've read other forums where people have ordered jerseys, and customs stopped the shipment, and they never got them).

Not that impressed with the pics they have posted for their jerseys. The NCAA ones don't look right at all.

This shouldn't be a single image. Also: July 10th is not so daily.

There's like 8-million of these rip-off jersey sites, with lots of folks online alternately singing their praises or cursing them. They seem to vary wildly in quality, entirely independent of site, league or team ordered, and you're basically rolling the dice....but at $30 it's certainly tempting.

I have used this site below with success. Got a Pujols, Sam Bradford, and Wesley Snieder jersey for under $100. They are exactly the same as ones that I spent almost a hundred each on from a team store. (They could be ripoffs but my guess is they either have small errors that I can't make out or somehow went out of the back of a Beijing factory) The shipping is the same on one jersey or a bunch so try and get friends with you if you can. (I linked to the reds for you)

panerd, the most intriguing thing for me and the biggest difference is the sheer number of player options... it would be great to be able to get a jersey that i can't get in a store, or would have to pay ~$300 for to customize on nflshop

I love their Bengals team history.

Cincinnati Bengals is a North Division AFC football team that can be seen at the Paul Brown Stadium, Ohio playing in orange, black and white uniforms. The team derives the name from a team of the same name that played in the erstwhile American Football League from 1937 to ‘41. The Bengals joined the NFL in 1970 and won the AFC Central Division that year. The coming few seasons witnessed a number of coaching changes and a series of sporadic outcomes. Finally in 1981, the Bengals won the division crown under head coach Forrest Gregg.The team carried on with a consistent record in the coming years registering their fifth division title in 1990. However from then on, they fell back on what seemed like a bad patch and went on struggling through the rest of the decade.

Edit: I'm pretty sure this site is run by someone that used to post here.

Sounds a lot like jersey101.com They are an Asian company that does fake authentic jerseys. I've never ordered from them personally, but several people that sit in my section at Colts games have and they look solid. Just another place to check out.

I have a few fake authentics- the white Saints jerseys have a screwy fleur de lis on the arm, but the black ones are good- a couple of hockey jerseys that are good as well. No way I can afford to spend $300 on an authentic, and I don't want to spend $80 on those ironed on ones, and if I did spend $300 on an authentic I wouldn't want to wear it to a game where the guy behind me is most likely going to spill beer or nachos on me at some point. So yeah they are good enough. Like others said, might get ripped off as I know someone who ordered 15 and they got 13...

Reason why women are illogical #865322: So a few years ago me and my best friend went to Chinatown in New York and I told her about the "secret" rooms in the back of some of the purse shops. We ended up scoring some knockoff Coach purses for $10 each. She told me it was one of the funniest times she has ever had. (And it was a blast, not really the getting the purse part as much as me dealing with the ladies and getting turned down repeatedly because they thought I was a cop) Anyways fast forward to last Christmas when she was going to order her brother a Blues jersey and I told her about the nhlnfl site. Anyways she "ran it by her dad" and she told me he said it was illegal and she doesn't want to break the law. I see...

Definite illegal purses OK, possible illegal sports jersey scared must follow the law.


Like I said I don't know the legality or if they are knockoffs but I have sat next to plenty of guys in the exact same Pujols jersey at Cardinal games and I'll be damned if I can tell the difference. I also think they have all of the new players. (I am a Bengal fan so I know they will have Dalton and Green soon, kind of surprised they aren't there already) Like anything beware and if you can't take a $50-60 hit I wouldn't advise it but they sure saved me a shitload of money and I have been very pleased with my purchases.

Borntrade

is another site. It was just borntrade.com, but was shut down about 8-9 months ago.

Around the time of the Super Bowl, a huge shipment was seized in Pittsburgh.

i was buying them in bulk from a site called jerseymall.com. it was shady, in that i had to pay with "western union", and the friend that turned me on to the site told me shipments sometimes got snatched at customs..(they came from china)

i'd take orders at work, and when i got to 20 or so, I'd buy them for $22 each, and sell them for $45. Quality was great for current jerseys, but throwbacks were not entirely accurate...it was a pain in the ass, though, (people would complain about sizing, length of time it took, etc) and risky, so now if i want one I just order one from the guy who told me about site for $45....
