1). JJM owes TJH a steak dinner on that one
2). Ive only bought 1 Viking jersey in the last 15 years (88), but I'm thinking about it lol!
Lets see how he does vs Penix this week..
Look, I'm not telling you to cheat the NFL out of their premium dollars but the DHgate jerseys are pretty decent for what you pay.
They're like $25ish shipped. They come with stitched name plates and numbers. They came with Nike msrp tags, nike embroidered on the sleeve. The whole 9 yards. I could have sold them at a flea market and nobody would have questioned me.
If anything the Viking yellow on the sleeve that was screen printed wasn't as vibrant as it should have been. When I got my JJM and JJetta's jerseys I set them with the other 20 or so jerseys I have from over the years (some used from goodwill). There were some I know where directly from the Viking store. Some from NFL.com etc. I couldn't really tell the difference. In fact if there was a difference the fakes were better made then some of the expensive real ones.
Even when I walked around the Titians stadium this year. I tried to pick out fakes. There's sooooo much variation that unless you were in the industry. I don't think you'd ever know if I paid $25 for my stitched jersey and you paid $350.
If you get chip dip all over it or the washing machine eats it. (RIP #22) you throw it away and order a new one. They're pretty much the same as a Viking tshirt now days. I had a custom #14 GEQBUS printed on a tshirt last year. I would have been tons cheaper to order a China one because you can customize it.
Anyway, thats my unsolicited $0.02.
