Ordered a black Patrick Peterson jersey on e-bay. A replica Reebok which I also have as an away Fitz jersey which I like alot.

Received today and what the hell. This is a piece of crap. Seller has all positive feedback and has told me I can return and apologized but this is clearly a knock off that has Reebok tags on it.

I know buyer beware but still bummed anyway. Guess I have to stick with established sites like NFL.com and I would have but they didn't carry it.

The don't have them, per se, but I just bought my wife a black one from there 2 weeks ago. Just went to the custom jerseys and all I had to do was pick #21. They already had Peterson for a choice on the name, so it was easy, don't think it cost anymore to do that... she loves it.. btw

Come on man...what did u expect!
You get what u pay for.

Next time buy official.

Wasn't trying to go cheap to be honest. Just trying to get quickly and the established sites didn't have it. It has been returned now. To be honest first bad experience on E-Bay.

walking around-- you can spot the fake jerseys a mile away

the color is just off, the fabric doesnt look right, etc

as someone who used to work for a company that sold sports licensed apparel --

you generally get what you pay for.

The NFL / Reebok does a pretty good job on the higher end jerseys of limiting production to what will sell. If you see a current player "authentic" jersey for well below normal retail, you can be 99% sure its a fake.

Can you find a Steve Breaston or a Matt Leinart authentic jersey for cheaper than retail? Sure-- but not a Patrick Peterson

Just FYI Customs has seized THOUSANDS of NFL jerseys in the past year(I am talking individual shipments too not just stuff going for resale), if you get something shipped from China be prepared for the chance that you will lose your money.

Actually this was from Wisconsin but advertised as Reebok with tags on it.

Who knows where it was manufactured.

The quality was laughable. Not alot of push back from the seller.

I received an order from China about a month ago. The DHL driver said he delivers jerseys all day long. The quality was impeccable! 13 authentic jerseys came to roughly $300. I purchased them before I knew of the crackdown by Customs. The websites are still up and running though.

I'm going to have to get me a Peterson jersey to replace the white #21 Metcalf I had which was Terry not Eric. I got that ages ago had it custom made it wasn't official, from some store in Campbell Ca.

We have put in at least 10 orders at my station. Always 10 or more jerseys so we can get the free shipping. IMPECCABLE quality for sure. Have yet to not receive a shipment. We will keep ordering until we dont. AT an average of about 18 bucks a jersey its worth the risk.

It's really hard to find authentic jerseys cheap, whether on Ebay or craigslist. I can spot them a mile away too.

A lot of the fakes will advertise "sewn on numbers", and will sell cheaper than screen printed licensed ones.

Great jerseys for the price. The main thing is more people are wearing Cardinals' jerseys because they are affordable and you don't feel like you are getting ripped off. I can buy 14 jerseys for the cost of one authentic jersey. My family will be very happy with the jerseys under the Christmas tree this year.

I got myself a Peterson black jersey and a Dockett black jersey for my son from China for Xmas. I think they look great! Not to mention the price is great and it only took 6 days to get delivered. It takes longer for me to get stuff from Cali shipped to New Jersey.

Are the numbers on the jerseys at Sports Authority sewed on?

I have some really well done knock offs. I also have some ones that came in looking pretty strange. The Hightower jersey I got last year looked like it had Tampa Bay numbers sewn on. Disappointing, but at least I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I've gotten a total of 12 jerseys over the last two years and only about 3 of them are still current players. Players move around too much, if I ever bought legitimate authentic, I would get it personalized with my name rather than a player's name.
