    What a rip off

    I know its off season when I go and look and see what going on at consecofieldhouse.com. The season needs to start, damnit

    but anyways, I was looking at the gift shop, and found this jersey



    #31 Reggie Miller Retro Authentic Jersey by Mitchell & Ness. Retro jersey of the 1987-88 season. Numbers and letters are screen printed on just like the jerseys of that year

    Someone correct me If I am wrong, but you are basically paying $350 + dollars for a replica jersey.

    Unfortunately that seems to be the going rate for throwback jerseys. I would love to get some but cant justify paying that amount!

        But seeing as how you're paying for an authentic jersey from 16 years ago, thats made by the company that started this trend, and is incredibly rare, its not that bad. I always look for the Mitchell & Ness on the jerseys because you know you're getting a quality product.

        When you start paying $100 for a throwback made by NIKE, then its a rip-off.

            I dont mind the price for a mitchell and ness, hell I love mitchell and ness.

            but screen printed. I understand they want a replica of how it was made back then, but screen printed. Why couldnt they sew it on.

            Like I said, you are basically paying $300 for a mitchell and ness "replica" jersey

                Its the way jersey's were made back then. I have an old MJ one I bought a good 13 years ago, and it's just the same as that.

                    Yeah, but I dont trust the quality.

                    Do you still have the old MJ one? Is it still in good condition?

                    I like the jersey, but screen printed

                        Well...if it wasn't screen printed and instead sewn on...it wouldn't be authentic, would it?
