NFL jerseys are in great demand in the US with many fans giving their support of all the National Football Teams of the NFL.

1. How to Spot Fake NFL Jerseys
There are many people all over the world cashing in on the popularity of American Sports with mass
producing counterfeit jerseys, Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey. However nothing is targeted more than
Football or to be exact NFL Jerseys. To the untrained eye it can be very difficult to spot the difference
between a real and fake jersey. Let me start off by telling you about the jerseys that do not get faked.
Jerseys are separated into three ranges, authentic, premier and replica. The premier and replica versions
do not get faked as they have either all the names and numbers printed onto the jersey or some sewn
and printed. The counterfeiters are not interested in these, as the costs in buying machinery to print
them would put them off. So they target the authentic range, the easiest to mass produce and also the
highest priced out of the three ranges. This gives them a bargaining tool by offering you what seems to
be a good deal.
NFL Jerseys
There is a tell tail sign straight away when being offered counterfeit NFL jerseys, the price. If you go onto
the big sports site's like NFL.com, an authentic will cost $200 - $280. If someone offers you the same
jerseys for $40, this should start alarm bells ringing. Now don't get me wrong you can get authentic's
cheaper than $280, but they tend to be players who no longer play or have changed teams. You will not
be getting an authentic jersey for $40 if they are still playing for that team. Let me go into the specifics,
check the numbers and logo's if they are bubbly it is a sign of a fake. All numbers and logo's should be
rigid and smooth. Authentic jerseys are also made from a heavy weight material and a lot of fake jerseys
use cheaper light weight fabric.
NFL Merchandise
Reebok the official manufacturer of the NFL also only have the clothes made in certain countries.
Authentic's are only made in Korea or Vietnam, if your jerseys has any other manufacturing country on
the neck tag and has some or all the other details spoken about earlier, it is most likely a fake NFL jersey.
Don't get caught out thinking you are getting a good deal, the jerseys are made in appalling conditions
and the people who make them are poorly paid for there work. Stitching and materials are poor and the
jerseys will discolour and fall apart after a few washes. So stay away from fake goods and buy authentic.
