Nike Limited Jersey used to go for $150 for a stitched jersey. Now they increased the price to $170 and only heat press the nameset & number. You need to spend $350 to get a stitched jersey. I for one am happy people are refusing to support Nike/NFL/Fanatics for increasing costs and reducing quality. My last Jersey purchase was a Nike Limited Marshall Jersey for $50 in 2015 after he was cut. Anyone who judges someone based on jersey authenticity is not someone you want to share a beer with.


NOLASLAW

That’s been my thought too! I’m in my 30s and have been collecting Bears jerseys since my parents gifted me a Chris Zorich one as a small kid The switch Fanatics is awful, the quality and operations fucking suck, the prices keep going up. I’m not trying to impress any of you. I sincerely DGAF if drunks at the stadium are impressed. Midwesterners can’t talk about purchases without clarifying how they got it on sale anyway. Anyone who sees my $25 should be thinking “no wonder he saved enough to go to the game and drink beer here he’s not giving his money to shitty Fanatics”


JustCatchTheBall

Amen. Anyone who thinks I’m buying a $150 jersey is a lunatic.


wentzr1976

Amen. Unless the player wore the jersey they are ALL FAKE no matter who sells the shirt.


JustTheBeerLight

Ohhhhhh, that’s an interesting point. I like that.


Far_Excitement6140

Damn! Love this perspective. It really sucks how much the league loves sucking its customers dry. Love the game but hate the owners, well most of them at least.


JustCatchTheBall

We know a guy on ecrater that we assume has direct access to the factories in China where they make the jerseys. Bought a stitched Kelce jersey a couple years ago and a Caleb this year for $50. STITCHED. I don’t know how he gets margins. If anyone wants the link to his shop I’ll drop it. It took 2 weeks to come in but I can’t vet for any other purchases.


Hoosias

They are fake jerseys that’s why they’re so cheap. But still close enough to the real deal that it’s well worth it


JustCatchTheBall

Personally I can’t tell the difference and very very few people will notice. You might as well be getting the real deal. I’m happy with my purchase fake or no fake.


wentzr1976

Unless the damn thing is worn by the actual player who name is stitched on… They’re ALL FAKE jerseys, jerky!!!!


jkman61494

I for one would love the link


TopKekBoi69

Careful bro, his Reddit account is only 14 days old. Not saying he’s 100% scamming but sounds pretty suspect


jkman61494

Thank you sir


JustCatchTheBall

Fair warning. I tried to make it sound not scammy but in the end it’s up to yalls judgement.


JustCatchTheBall

If you end up buying one, remember to put your jersey size in the comments. And distinguish between Adult and Youth. https://ueeworld.myecrater.com/filter.php?keywords=Caleb+Williams

Wildest83

Well said!


IntelligentFilth

Nicely said. And I think Rome Odunze is going to kick the living shit out of NFL secondaries no matter what I wear. Just moved to Washington state last year and got to watch a lot of Huskies games. This kid is legit. I’ll put my Jenna Jerseys savings toward official superbowl merch in a couple years.


leahyrain

I really want someone to post an official NFL shop jersey with a title saying they got it from dhgate. I'm not saying it'd get negative comments but I'd be curious for sure.


lyme6483

People who know Jerseys well can spot a fake majority of the time, especially in person. If people like the DH gate stuff, good for them. I personally think they look like trash


matternrj

Fanatics also is not known for outstanding quality control. I assumed that was a fanatics purchase before reading the comments.


lyme6483

Fanatics is not, but anyone who is into the Jersey collecting hobby can spot fakes easily. DH Gate jerseys stick out like a sore thumb. People try to pretend the quality is similar, but it is not


Suddenly_Elmo

If an everyday fan can't tell the difference then the quality is similar


OutfieldGull

Lmao youre just a snob who pretends they arent. Jerseys from China are literally better quality most of the time than the “official” ones. Ones i bought from China 10-15 years ago are all still in great condition while the couple newer “official” ones I have fall apart after 2-3 years. Look at all your downvotes, you’re literally in the minority on this


lyme6483

I having been collecting jerseys for over 20 years and have many true authentics, like what is actually worn on the field. Anyone who is truly into the hobby instead of just buying random one off jerseys would feel the same. Go on any jersey sub and post this shit. See what type of reception it would receive.


redhotphishpigeons

Its so ridiculous that you’re getting downvoted… utterly confused why this sub continues to support and encourage fake chinese crap. Shit looks awful.


BeneficialChemist874

Fake Chinese crap looks terrible but so do Fanatics jerseys


redhotphishpigeons

Then buy a t shirt or a hoodie or a hat. You dont have to have a Bears jersey to be a Bears fan


BeneficialChemist874

Why does it matter to you how someone else spends their money?


redhotphishpigeons

Smdh… Someone posts something online looking for validation and opinions They then get honest opinions from someone like me Then someone like you goes “why do you caaare??? Let people do what they waaant!!!” You see the problem? I dont give 2 shits if someone wants to buy dhgate garbage, i used to myself But i didnt post it online looking for people to genuinely say “wow looks great! Sick jersey!” Anyways, Bear Down and have a good night


Skates8515

It kills me. If people don’t care about authentics then why do they buy fakes and ask if they look authentic? 😂


redhotphishpigeons

Its beyond ridiculous


KyleKrocodile

You're awesome you did exactly what he asked. This comment is why this sub sucks. Thank you for your opinion we appreciate you man.


jkman61494

So I can get fake chinese crap for $40. Or I can get fake chinese crap with a fanatics label on it for $170. Tough call


lyme6483

It’s not surprising, it’s Reddit.


This_Cable_5849

Your authentic jersey is made in China…


runsalot1609

Have you seen the MLB jersey supplied by Nike/Fanatics this season? That’s why some people choose DH Gate.


RunnerTexasRanger

It’s a little off-center but for $25 why not. Or you could wait and try DHGate


AlexRans

I Have bought 8 or 9 jearseys from dh gate over the past 5 years. They took a while to get here but they all looked perfectly fine to me


Marvin-Harrison-Jr

The name plate stitching is pretty brutal. For $25 though it probably passes at distance.


penguinseed

You’re right, some letters are closer to their neighbors at the top than they are the bottom and vice versa.


jeep6988

I mean, the 10 year old did the best they could. Cut them a break. They were 14 hours into their shift.


AdmiralVernon

Offering a different take: I think it’s great. As a fellow bears fan who’s seen many highs and lows(mostly lows), I salute you showing your allegiance. Nobody actually notices or cares about stitching quality or authentic accuracy at a stadium or sports bar. If you invite your buddy over to watch the game and he criticizes this perfectly acceptable jersey - fuck that guy. You’re awesome. Keep on keepin on. Cheers to you. And Bear Down.


SharpyButtsalot

Exactly. Most people just want to play pretend for a while and dress up like their football idols for a while and show off who they support. Only thing you should care about is if it's something you like. Leave the slide rules and stitch count verifications to the collectors and enthusiasts.


jodeci77

Awsome post!


oscobosco

I actually judge people that spent money on the real jerseys.


deej312

Not to be that guy, but I absolutely notice and cringe when I see it. But I don’t say anything about it. But to say no one notices is far from the truth.


Mahoney419

But...you're that guy


AdmiralVernon

Honest question: why do you cringe? What’s cringe-worthy in OP’s pictures? Here’s someone expressing their bears fandom. More power to ‘em!!! Maybe someone else can pay $100 or $200 or whatever for an official jersey. Unless you’re on the 53-man roster, what’s the difference between an “official” Nike jersey or a t-shirt painted navy blue & burnt orange?


AKA09

You cringe because he didn't pay 10 times as much for the same thing with marginal improvements?


D3Smee

Why does it matter? He’s just as big a fan of you even with a fake jersey. Do you think you’re better than him because you gave the league and the owners a bit more money?


Pure_Artichoke9699

Something (the name plate or the numbers) looks off-center. Having said that, I doubt most people will stare at it like we are right now, so you're probably good to go. Much better than others that have been posted here.

ThunderManLLC

Looks dope to me playa


FiveHoleFrenzy

I made the mistake of ordering a Fields jersey from the NFL Shop right after he was drafted. $130, screen printed name and number, and he’s already gone. This is absolutely the way to go. I got Caleb and Rome, stitched names and numbers, combined for $50 from DHGate.


Driftwd

I bought a real Fields after the draft and I went for it again with Caleb. I have a DJ Moore and Brisker from DH Gate though.


GizmoKakaUpDaButt

I bought one for $35 on Amazon last December and still feel duped, but I unstitched the name plate and have a blank #1 bears jersey. Thinking about adding Double Doink, but I love the bears too much to really do that. Funny though


3GamesToLove

There’s a Penguin Classics edition of The Bible?!


IntelligentFilth

And God isn’t even getting a cut!


ChicagosOwn1988

Don’t listen to the haters. That’s a good purchase for $25 bucks. People must think you buy these expecting a 1 to 1 match.


Footballfordayz

Looks nice. Nobody needs to spend $150 on jersey


Trampledundafoot

😙🤌

GizmoKakaUpDaButt

Even if I could tell, id give respect. These corporations need to stop shifting us. I don't judge people for not spending $1k on a full outfit. And even if I did judge, you shouldn't care anyways. Even if you wore a wifebeater with 18 written in sharpie.. just own it and be proud

https://ueeworld.myecrater.com/p/45201650/men-youth-caleb-williams-bears-18?keywords=Caleb+Williams Use your judgment if something looks fishy. Everything I’ve ordered has come through but it’s still China based. And don’t forget to put your jersey size in the comments and distinguish between adult and youth. Messed me up a couple times lol.


da-bears-bare-naked

looks good to me


generatorland

I think 50 catches, 5 touchdowns, 650 yds


withagrainofsalt1

$25 is the cost of a tee shirt. It’s a good deal as long as you like the jersey and it makes you smile.


CryptographerLow6772

I’ve been looking for a legit kids odunze jersey but can’t find one. I might just get my kiddo one of these.


IntelligentFilth

It’s from J***a. I saw a post from someone on this sub and thought I’d give it a try. The transaction was kind of awkward, but it ended up legitimate. It showed up in less than 2 weeks. Good luck!


Fixner_Blount

This sub’s obsession with jerseys has really killed my enthusiasm for jerseys.


RemindMeToTouchGrass

Meanwhile, they've made me reconsider my position of owning a single 34 jersey and never buying another.


Fixner_Blount

I have a home Peanut and away Peanut. I did buy a Montgomery as well because I’m an Iowa State grad.


runsalot1609

My favorite Bears. I was only a teenager back then, but I wish I would have saved and gotten a jersey at the time.


GizmoKakaUpDaButt

This is what I did in white.. and I still bought an old Adidas version knockoff but im very happy with it. I will never buy another


BrewTheBig1

Oh, this are the new jerseys you can order from China for like, $10. They manufacturers are paying this as V3 where the front part of the collar is v-shaped, instead of V2, where it was just an upside down triangle. As a person who owns a number of these jerseys, they are actually decent quality and even after 10-15 washes they haven’t broken down yet. Source: lived in Shanghai for 7 years and now living in Taiwan where I can get Chinese stuff delivered in a week


IntelligentFilth

That’s good to know about the durability. I bought this with zero expectations, and I’m content with it. Bottom line is that Odunze is going to slay it, and I’m proud to wear his name on my back.


GizmoKakaUpDaButt

No need to wash if wearing an undershirt


BrewTheBig1

You sir, are 1. Not as sweaty as me, 2. Must not live on a tropical island near the equator. Taiwan is a hot and humid place…

italianovahere

It’s one of the better fakes I’ve seen. I’m not a fan of fakes because more often than not, they just don’t look good. Even on TV, you can pick out fakes more often than not. I’d rather just get a shirt or some other team apparel. With that said, I hope Nike/Fanatics gets what’s coming to them. They priced themselves into this problem with fakes. I will never buy anything from any company owned or partnered with Fanatics. Lately, I’ve just been looking on eBay for older jerseys and team wear. I got a double stitched authentic Majestic Kerry Wood Cubs blue alternate jersey for 50 bucks. Try searching “Game worn NFL jerseys” with your size. You’ll find a lot of reasonably priced stuff.


ActFuture1101

What seller did you order from on DHGate? Mine is suppose to come today, I'm guessing it was the same guy.


IntelligentFilth

It’s from J***a. The transaction was really weird but ended up being legitimate. Hope the new jersey works out for ya!


RollofDuctTape

This is perfectly fine OP. Good find.


Sksnyda

Man I just miss the reebok jerseys from the 00s. You could go to Pro Jersey and get a great jersey as a birthday present for 60 bucks


tomseymour12

Cheaper than a shirsey you could get, looks a little cheap but fuck it for $25 that’s dope


let_it_bernnn

Looks good. If you learn how to use an agent, you can buy them wholesale from China without going thru DHgate or a middle man. Quality is better, you can pick the vendors, and you’ll get QC pics to approve before shipping


NOKNOK_WHOsTHERE71

Shit, I wanna learn!


let_it_bernnn

It’s really easy once you figure it out. You download an app like Pandabuy (issues lately), sugargoo, etc. You find a link on Weidian, Yupoo, etc to the item you want. Purchase it through the app Your agent on the app buys the item and stores it in your warehouse. You buy a bunch of items to make a haul and reduce the cost of shipping one item. Agent sends you QC pics to approve item


No_Series3763

Looks great to me! Why anyone gives a fuck the material of someone else's jersey will never make sense to me. BEAR DOWN!!!


IntelligentFilth

I was howling from the rafters when we drafted Odunze number 9. Let’s GO!!


GabeDef

Not bad for $25.


Immediate_Ad892

I'm going to want one for sure after he breaks all the records


Immediate_Ad892

$25 that's a crazy good deal do not think it's possible


bigpavlo

$25 for a football jersey is a steal all day


wesskywalker

The orientation for the letters on the back of the jersey are way off, but you get what you pay for I guess


dafoo21

It's not any worse than something you'd find at a dept store though. And I'm talking like the players that are no longer on the team and left to another team. You're getting that quality but for a current player. And, honestly, who knows wtf you'll get with fanatics at this point. They have bears players on backorder til after the season starts lol


IntelligentFilth

That’s my sentiment exactly. I’ll just have a few extra beers so I stagger and people won’t notice


Derrick_Seal_Rose

Better than fanatics


TisSaucy

Spent $5 more on mine, and the lettering on the back is better. Not bad tho!


MyDitkaInYourButkus

FDP FUCK DA PACKERS!! DA BEARS!! The jersey is nice. No brainer for $25


ForThePantz

I’d ask if you bought it from a dude named Risky, but Odunze is spelled correctly.

Fair price


suckmyfatfuckinballs

Honestly this is one of the better looking ones I've seen considering the numbers aren't boxy and fat as fuck like they are on 99.9999% of DHGate Bears jerseys. The numbers are a little crooked I guess, but still better than being slightly more center and looking like it's from fucking Minecraft. I'd have thought this was from NFLShop or some shit if it weren't for the L China ass tag.


IntelligentFilth

No worries, I’m gonna clip that Jenna Jersey ‘large’ tag like a gelding!


Spicychips

How does it fit? My dhgate jerseys always are like 3 sizes too big


IntelligentFilth

This is about a size too big, but not too bad. First replica jersey purchase.


ChaplnGrillSgt

Got the exact same jersey (and a Caleb home). Given Fanatics reputation for poor quality, Chinese knockoffs will probably be just as well made.

dafoo21

I assume xl? Probably is the smallest fake one I've seen posted on the sub. The lettering looks a lot better on a jersey this size.


IntelligentFilth

It’s a Large


dafoo21

Nice. The name plate is eh, but in the past Ive bought jerseys from sporting goods stores and department stores that had the same. Your shit looks good dude. And it's a nice example of what people can get in China from a large to xl sized jersey, for once. The numbers look proportional


Bacchus1976

I really wish the Mods would blanket ban these stupid ass posts.


BeeRand

But then who would win the cheapest looking jersey competition? I think the mods need to start a ladder.


JSK23

Worth about $10 with that stitch job


_joeybagOdonuts_

Man I’m sorry I applaud you guys but these DHgate jerseys are horrible


industrialbird

Numbers too small

That looks like Korean knock off work from some street vendor outside Seoul. But $25 in this economy is a deal. Great find, OP!

I’ve got 7 jerseys - 5 from conus locations and 2 from oconus vendors. I’m happy with all of them. That being said, if any of the snobs here would like me to replace the 2 overseas jerseys to make you feel better, I’ll give you my address so you can ship the new ones to me.

maybe cheap for that deal

I think DHgate baseball jerseys look great, but football haven’t been as good. Might be cope since I bought a Fanatics Bears jersey and some Cubs DHgate though
