Rap posted:SA2K's other idea, meanwhile. Maybe better Photoshop would make it look better but uh...meh. I actually kind of like this idea because 1. it plays on a historical look the Chargers had (DAN FOUTS!!!!), and 2. there are a bunch of other teams in the NFL that use some combination of blue jersey and white numbers. Giants, Patriots, Bills, Lions, Panthers, Seahawks, Broncos...any more? Yellow clashes with the dark blue, might as well stand out and nod to the heritage.

Yeah, stroke it with white instead of yellow and it looks fantastic.

Just a heads up and figured Id let you guys know. Ordered a Matt Ryan and Calvin Johnson jersey from 2009jerseys.net last Sunday, 8/4. Paid via western union and chatted with the person while they confirmed the money. My jerseys were shipped 2 days later on 8/6. The tracking status Stayed in China all the way until this morning where it had apparently arrived in China after arriving in a sorting facility last week. At 11 am the mailman knocked and I had them. Not sure what was up with the tracking. The jersey lost price was $22 and shipping for up to 10 items was a flat $20. With fees it came out to $80 for both of them. Quality-wise, I can't complain. I tried on the real deal jerseys at a sporting goods store and fit is the same. Colors seem to match and they look authentic. I'm sure they're not perfect but for $40 I'm not complaining. The falcons lettering on the front has some residuals from the embroidering but I could either clear that up or ignore it. I can take pics of the Calvin jersey tonight and Ryan on Sunday when I'm back home. I think after 10 the shipping is free but expect another $10 on top of whatever price they list for insurance and other fees. Should be around $30 a piece.

I know my old roommate is interested after I showed him. I'd be hesitant until I posted here and got feedback since honestly I don't know what's quality or not. I was just happy with the $40. I'll post pics and see the interest. I know I've probably already got 4 or so on board so if anyone else is in, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah their pictures are pretty much taken directly from Nike. I went based off a reddit thread someone posted. The nfl jerseys seemed to be ok while the baseball ones had issues. Here's his album: http://imgur.com/a/i5XI5 The comment thread for that page is here: http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1hu6co/i_ordered_some_knockoff_jerseys_from_china_here/ Is say the most useful comment is the one from airhorn who was in on the buy. They paid around $500 for 14 to make them about $35 a piece. The only thing I'll add to his post is the sizing to me seems to be pretty close to real sizing. I'm a hair under 6 feet, 180 and I think the large is perfect. I want the jersey a little loose but not a parachute. Also of note, both the jerseys I got were "Nike Game Day". The plain NFL jerseys (the $18 ones) just didn't look right.

Richman777 posted:he plain NFL jerseys (the $18 ones) just didn't look right. How so? I was thinking of getting an Anthony Munoz throwback, since I kind of assume they'd gently caress up the Bengals uniform. I'd still be in if the regulars are off, but I didn't know if you saw something or there was a picture showing something wrong with them.

Well specifically the lions jersey didn't have the right color collar. That was the first thing. They weren't the same as the "Nike" game jerseys which is what I was specifically looking for. They might be correct for the throwbacks.

So here is the Calvin Johnson jersey in detail. The front tag picture is a little washed out so the color looks weird.

By Nike's parlance the "Game" jerseys are the low end screen printed ones, "Limited" is the middle tier with stitching (and seemingly most of the high end features), and "Elite" is the high end/actual game day jersey...which makes shopping on those sites a bit confusing at times. I'm guessing that CJ one is a Limited because the letter sizing, while the Elites use numerical sizing.

Yeah I figured their naming wasn't right but I was going by the design for what they actually looked like. The 2009jerseys site has "Nike" jerseys and then just jerseys as a separate category. They actually have the same naming category as you have but it doesn't match up. They have the Elites for all teams as well that have the number sizing.... They cost the same... When I said earlier I meant the Nike ones vs the non-Nike ones. I'm not really sure what the non-Nike ones are. Edit: with that said the reddit thread seemed to have the elite ones but I got what they had at the time. They def didn't have a Ryan red elite when I ordered but seem to now. Dammit...

I found the best way to deal with these chinese jerseys is to find a dude on craigslist or kijiji or whatever who has a ton of this stuff to sell. That way you can actually check out each individual jersey for accuracy and quality and can negotiate for a way better deal. These guy usually do massive orders so you can get them to add in what you want when they restock. I have a guy I've been buying from for 2 years and he gives me first pick on new stock, tries his best to get me what I request and discounts for the more I buy. Of course I live in Canada so meeting random people on the street to purchase counterfeit goods isn't as risky as some places.

So here are the Ryan ones. The "Falcons" at the top had a single thread connecting the letters which I trimmed (you can kind of see the leftovers). I added a tiny pin top of glue just to make sure it doesn't come unravelled but I don't think it will. Looks like pretty standard embroidery.      So is there any interest in a group buy? I'm not sure how that goes but I've got a bunch of other people locally that want 10+ already so we're past the 10 min for free shipping. Seems like that would work out to around ~$35 a piece plus local shipping here. How does shipping work once I get the items as far as accepting payment from everyone up front? I can figure out the cost from the site but not sure how to add on shipping. Just a flat -rate USPS?

I can't bring myself to get another current player's jersey. The two I've had were Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn. I am bad at owning jerseys.

Joe Thomas seems like the safest bet of a current Browns player if they don't have a Bernie. He's signed forever and even if his legs fall off today you can talk about how good he was before. Actually I have no idea, are linemen jerseys even a thing? They seem pretty rare even for awesome guys.

That site has a lot of random players. I saw a Gerald Sensenbaugh for Dallas and a Larry Asante woman's Bucs jersey.

Alfred Morris will be the first jersey I've ever purchased ever. Yeah, RGIII is great but Morris will drag the Redskins kicking and screaming into the postseason for years to come.
