Does anyone have a new "screen printed" jersey?

    I was thinking about getting one of the new Nike jerseys but the ones with stitch are more than I can afford right now. I thought maybe I would just get one with screen printed numbers but didn't know how nice they were. Does anyone have one or has anyone seen one in person? I figure they have to be pretty nice to cost $100. How would you say they compare to the Reebok replicas?

    You mean the lower end cheaper replicas that used to be $75-80 when Reebok did them (or "screen printed" as you put it). I've seen some of the new Nike ones first hand...and they looked good to me...equal too if not better than some of the Reebok ones I have. I havent bought one as that $100 is a little steep for me...but from what I seen they are nice.

    google nfl jerseys in china. no, they are not 100% authentic...but I get an embroidered jersey for about 15% of the price (yes, the one in the pic to the left is one)...

    I've used these sites numerous times and have always had smooth transactions

    Is that Nike or a Reebok? And also do you use Head and Shoulders as well? lol.

    The new Nike replicas are much better looking. The screen printing is of heavier weight and the printing is done on denser fabric, unlike the Reeboks in which the screen printing was on mesh.

    BUT...

    I think the Nike jerseys fit terribly. Maybe it's just my build. It seems the Nike jerseys are designed to fit tighter through the arm pit and over the shoulder. I like a looser fitting jersey, and while a large fit nice through the chest, the shoulders felt odd.

    Wouldn't surprise me something Nike made being smaller than another company makes in the same size. Their shoes had always been that way with me back when I wore Nike/etc...among other items over the years.

    Well I've gained quite a bit of weight in the last few years. I'm short so when I gain weight it goes to my gut and makes my jerseys fit tighter. I'm only a little under 5'5 and I just weighed in at 180 the other day.(ouch) When I married in 04 I weighed about 135. I have a YOUTH XL Troy jersey. A YOUTH XL Lambert jersey. I have an ADULT M Lynn Swann jersey that's Adidas and a SIZE 48 On-Field authentic Ben jersey which someone got me as sort of a keepsake. The jersey which I find the most comfortable is the Swann jersey. Do you think a Nike Large would be the equivalent of an Adidas Medium?

    You pay with a credit card. The jersey is $22 and the shipping is $35. It comes to a total of $57 with shipping and all. It's legit. I've not got one yet but I'm going to.

    WE have a guy at work that we order through. He charges each person 35 for a football jersey and then places the orders usually takes about two weeks. WE don't mind paying the little bit extra since he is the one accepting all the risk if something goes wrong. I got a Miller, Lambert(away) Green, and Hoge(away) that are all great. Only problem I had was that when I ordered the Hoge one they spelled it right but then they changed it to Hodge. Luckily my mom was able to remove the nameplate and cut the "d" out and sew it back on and it looks fine. Just ordered one of the NIke ones for Ward hope to have it by next week.

    You would have to ask GAMECOCK because he was the one that told me about it. I'm not sure if you read the previous threads but he said he bought it from them. I don't think he's on here very often because I sent him a PM and he never responded. Or maybe he just doesn't care to answer my question. LOL. But once I have a little extra money I'm gonna try it and see what happens.

    I'd say that's a bunch of crap to buy one of those China knock offs, but I'm sure the Nike jersey's are made in some other country too. Lol!

    According to Nike's own site, a 48 is an XL. Your best bet is to find a fan shop and try one on. I was very disappointed with the fit, but others might like them better. They certainly look nice.

    I would only go through ebay. But if you do go through a site, make sure they accept PayPal, because your purchases are guaranteed. If you don't get the merchandize, it's fully refundable and PayPal will handle that.

    sorry guys. the website I've used accepts paypal...that's the only way I'd purchase something like that online, I know my banking info is safe since paypal is the one that actually makes the payment.
