Buying Jerseys??

    Hey, i am looking to maybe buy a jersey or two, was wondering where the best place is (for best read cheapest :D) to get them...

    The thing is, i would much prefer the jersey to have the numbers and such stitched instead of printed, i have never seen these type on sale in shops, so it'll probably be online... I was talking to a few lads who were at the Shamrock Bowl, they said they got jerseys with the stitching from the guy who runs this website: http://www.usasportsgearirl.com/ could anyone confirm/deny whether these are stitched? Judging from the pics it would appear that they are, but i'm not certain...

    Any other online shops that do jerseys at a decent price?


    Also, probably a long shot, but is there any shops (that deliver to Ireland) for college jerseys? (specifically Florida's) I've seen a few that charge an arm and a leg for delivery to Europe, has anyone found a cheaper alternative?


    Thanks in advance...

    Hey Dulpit, I bought the AP probowl jersey from those guys at the Shamrock Bowl and they are stitched.

    When it comes to jerseys theres 3 main types:

    Replica - about $60 in the states - printed logos/numbers/names

    Replica/Authentic - about $100 in the states - these are stitched to a degree. No printing but not the same type of stitching you find on the authentic jerseys.

    Authentic - about $260 in the states, worth every penny though! These have everything stitched on the the highest quality and will last forever.

    Value wise, best to get the replica/authentic which usasportsgearirl sell, otherwise costs too much to bring in an authentic one.

    If jerseys seem a little expensive for you, you could just get a sideline cap. I just got one today and they're great. They usually come in one size fits all but I tried one of those on in the US and it was a bit tight. The Giants official site also had them in a XL/L which fits me pretty nicely though I did need to stretch it a little.

    This website has been recommended on here before:

    http://nfljerseyfanparadise.forumotion.com

    It's run by a Bills fan in the UK. You can post an eBay item number and he'll tell you (in his expert opinion) if it's real or fake. He also recommends these eBay sellers:

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SAMURAI-OF-SPORTS

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/secondcityjerseys

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/n-fluke

    Simon who runs the site says that site http://www.usasportsgearirl.com is a fake. He is selling items that aren't even made. I have bought from n-fluke and geniune and everything fast and replies to queries very fast. I would recommend him

    If he hasn't got it he can see if he can get it

    Maybe he is.

    This is the Manning replica from the superbowl available on the Giants official website

    http://www.giantsproshop.com/index.cfm/New_York_Giants_New_York_Giants_Eli_Manning_Jersey-Super_Bowl_XLII_Replica_10/New_York_Giants_Eli_Manning_Jersey-Super_Bowl_XLII_Replica_10/prd/New-York-Giants-Eli-Manning-Jersey-Super-Bowl-XLII-Replica-10/item/32536

    Now we go to http://www.usasportsgearirl.com

    and looking for Mannings jersey from Superbowl and you will see a C on the jersey.

    You can't get that jerseys and if someone wants to go to Giants website and show me where I can find the jersey http://www.usasportsgearirl.com is selling then please done.

    Im not going to comment on whether they are real or not but they are not the Game Jerseys he sells I have seen them and I know he thinks he is selling the actual game worn ones but he isnt. He is selling the mid price ranged ones which also have the sewn on badges but the material is lighter and the stitching is different as the game worn ones. I compared my game worn pats jersey to one of the lads who bought a pats jersey and they are different my one is heavier with thicker numbers and stitching.

    Or Oh I bought one a few years ago and its much heavier than there ones"Of course it is older design they've moved on from the Dan Marino shirts to new modern material,get a grip!!!!! I like what I got from them and I'll be getting a lot more so Boo Hoo if your mammy wont give you the money for a jersey go back to bed.:eek::eek::eek::eek

    See now I never said they were fakes and was going to let you away with your rant idiot. If you had read what I wrote I said I wasnt going to comment on how real they are but I do know they are not the on field jerseys. I know these jerseys very well as I have a Patriots on field and a Packers on field bought within the last 2 years and I have compared them to a Patriots one bought at that site. They are more like the EQT range of jerseys than the on field so lore it is you who needs to get a grip.

    Oh and lore if you knew anything about the product you would know that on field jerseys are usually heavier than replicas as they are supposed to last than more than a few hits otherwise they are rendered useless. Most of the jerseys even in the IAFL get cut up more than they should only because the cost to get that tougher material is expensive hence why on field jerseys cost so much well other than the fact the NFL and Reebok load extra percantages on there to make money.


    Oh and the funny thing is you writing to defend the owner of said shop is making him look worse than this thread was originally. It is clear you are most likely one of his friends and your posting is immature and sad really. The large fonts and silly colour changing what are you 5? This is a public board and guys on here have a right to their opinion but in a civil manner not coming on here acting all of 5.

    Please accept my apology but it pisses me off when people comment on stuff based on rumours I found this website through Yahoo and quite honestly I think the products are fantastic and to me some of the quotes that are posted advertising other sellers like on ebay might as well be the sellers
