NFL Jersey | How to tell if an NFL Jersey is Fake

http://theconsuela.blogspot.com -
REEBOK is the current manufacturer of NFL jerseys, since 2002.
Reebok makes several LICENSED
varieties of NFL Jersey, shirts, hats, and other team accessories.
There are THREE MAIN NFL jersey types.
1) SCREEN PRINT REPLICAS .
2) EQT/PREMIER REPLICA (a.k.a Replithentic).
3) AUTHENTIC.
The term "AUTHENTIC"
does NOT mean MADE BY REEBOK.
An AUTHENTIC is the top of the line,
expensive REEBOK NFL jersey.
To denote something MADE BY REEBOK,
and not to confuse the word AUTHENTIC,
I prefer to use the word "GENUINE".
So, you have a:
"GENUINE" AUTHENTIC,
a "GENUINE" EQT, and
a "GENUINE" SCREEN PRINT REPLICA.

These three jersey types made by Reebok's use the ON FIELD designation.
This term can be ignored, as all of them use it.
Fake jerseys all use a tag that says ON FIELD.
Don't be confused by this, or by sellers claiming their jerseys are real since
they are made in Korea or El Salvador.
Reebok does make their jerseys there, but
tags are easily replicated.
If you see an AUTHENTIC jersey "MADE IN CHINA",
you know it's a fake.
If a seller offers a large volume of jerseys from overseas,
it's a fake.
Reebok makes the jerseys overseas, but they are first shipped into the U.S.
before being distributed to their authorized retailers.
TO KNOW if the jersey is AUTHENTIC, you need to learn what an AUTHENTIC
looks like.
Reebok AUTHENTIC.
These are the EXPENSIVE jerseys.
they are supposed to be just like the ones on
the field, except not custom cut for the player.
They are sized 46, 48, 50, 52, 54,
56, 58, and 60.
They tend to fit loosely because they are made to be like the real
thing, loose enough for pads.
They are typically 1" longer and a bit wider than the
REPLICA jerseys (so, a size 48, which is supposed to be an "M", will run a bit
bigger than an "M").
The price is $249 - $349 and some places price them a little
higher.
All names, numbers, and logos are sewn on.
Number are "tackle twill",
which means multi-colored numbers (white outlined with black, for example) are all
made up of separate, full pieces of cloth, then layered and sewn on.
These are heavy, and often the numbers are quite stiff.
They don't exactly fit like a glove,
which is one major complaint with them, aside from the enormous price.
AUTHENTICS are high quality and have consistent construction.
Stitching on AUTHENTICS is accurate, EXACTLY along edge of tackle twill layers on Authentic
(left in left picture below).
I have seen only a few AUTHENTIC jerseys with a length
of poor stitching, while fakes have TONS.
Fakes generally have inconsistent
stitching with mismatched thread colors.
Authentics have true, deep colors.
