China Jersey

^ if you buy a jersey that looks that bad, you deserve to get that quality lol! But then again it's like $30

here's what I'm talking about

I don't remember if the authentics from a few years ago used that cut in the top.. if they did I think that it cut straight across but slightly above the V bottom of the neck, but it's clear to see that the perforated portion travels from the bottom and arcs from the armpit to the edges of the neck on the true authentic

the fake up top cuts off in a rectangular fashion well below the neck

a couple of other things that I didn't point out earlier.. there's no ^ cut on the sides.. the positioning of the stripes on the sleeves is off.. or the length.. look at the diff of length of the white after the burg/gold stripe

I'd honestly pay up to 100ish for a good fauxthentic, I just haven't found one that existed yet

yeah you can't see it on my pics, but the perforated area is not like the Cooley feauxthentic pic you posted. Instead it arcs up from the armpit to near the top of the shoulder area. It's not squared off like that Cooley.

Here this may show what I'm talking about:

[tryfuhl]

you can tell that at least since ST's rookie year it's used the current cut.. at least as far as the front perforated portion goes, didn't bother looking further back



I'm not advocating spending 300 on something that costs less than a 10th of that to make most likely, just saying that they're not as close as most people make them out to be

that's why I asked for pics though, want to see if they've updated them or what

[tryfuhl]

have fun man

okay tryfuhl- I snapped a few with the iPhone. Again, it compared very closely with an actual authentic (5 or 6 year old NYJ Chad Pennington) up close. You could kinda feel that the actual authentic had a little more weight to it, but again, worth that difference in cost? Not in my opinion.

I'm not a big jersey guy. I only own a few. I prefer t-shirts- just more comfortable. But for me, this jersey was absolutely worth $26. The Broncos Tim Tebow I bought was the exact same as the Orakpo quality-wise. The John Wall I got is very nice too, but I'm going to have to get it tapered. I got a size 52 just like the football jerseys, but it's way longer. Good quality though.

i just got an auto'd orakpo jersey stitched off ebay for 40 bucks

[tryfuhl]

yeah your fauxthentic looks a lot closer like an authentic

I just see so many fake ones that it's hard for me to justify

Looks good GM. Think I might have to order a few up.
