As far as size goes, I'm a 5'10", 185 pound muscular-ish shaped guy (I've still got a small beer gut that's slighty past my chest). Should I order a large or medium?

Get a medium unless you're planning on wearing it over jackets outside I'd say

Ali Express jerseys have had better fits than the old tara/yukijerseys I used to get. Yuki's had really weird cuts and were really long while the alis are closer to regular shirt lengths. They also run smaller than the Yukis.

Anybody else had experience with AliExpress? I wanted to get an official jersey...but $100 is a lot to spend on a jersey. Especially when you're an Eagles fan and you're not sure how it's all gonna pan out. How do they compare to YukiJerseys and those old places?

Yeah. Knockoffs really depend on team and how simple/complex the uniform is. Bengals jerseys are really tough (The biggest thing they tend to miss is the orange stripe closest to the collar) I saw a lot of knockoff eagles uniforms in Korea and the colors tended to vary. I'd get whites or Kelly Green to be safe.

Good Eagles knockoffs are ridiculously difficult to find. They always screw up the colors and it's typically somewhere between Packers green and Jets green.

I usually resign myself to an away white or an alternate black, which usually come out pretty good.

Well, I got a white Alonso and green DeMarco jersey. So I'll see how this goes/how long it takes to get them.

What are you all using to pay with AliExpress? I used burner cards to buy jerseys before, is that a good MO to keep up or is it safe to use a CC with AliExpress?

I've paid with my debit card and never had an issue. I even got a -full- refund on a jersey because there was a black smudge on a white jersey that would have probably come out with a wash.

I think you can use paypal as a passthrough for your credit card (you don't even need an account) so I generally use that.

Got my jerseys today. Took 12 days. Granted, I did order on a Saturday. That's pretty good order time for a knockoff jersey, though. I'm used to waiting a month (or two one time). I'm pretty satisfied with my jerseys from AliExpress. The Eagles green seems accurate. The stitching is well done. The fit is good, however I did take somebody's advice about ordering a size smaller and it worked out perfect. They are obviously still not official jerseys, but for knockoffs they may be the best ones I've received and I'm definitely not complaining for $25 each. I'd recommend them!

These are size medium. I'm 5'10", 185 lbs with a general athletic build with a bit of a beer gut. Perfect sizing for me.

I got mine from this AliExpress store:

Jersey chat of a different kind.

Vikings WR Charles Johnson can’t get his jersey in stores, so he’s replacing ‘Harvin’ with his name on old No. 12s

TLDR: He only gets a certain number comped from the Vikes. Rather than spend 300 a jersey he's being creative.

So in the interests of this thread, I'm trying out one of the sellers on AliExpress that offered custom NFL throwback jerseys. After as much digging around as I could stomach, I could only find a handful that even offered custom throwbacks for the entire league, so in a first attempt I'm taking a shot with one that also offered to add special patches for an extra $5, so I hopefully end up with the 1994 75th Anniversary patch on the jersey I ordered. I'll update when necessary and will take pictures whenever I get the thing, which if it goes roughly as described on the seller page, should be about 3 weeks from now. :shrug:

At first it reminded me of fancy goalie masks in hockey. Then I realized it looked more like those old vans with random elaborate bald eagle art on the side :911:
