Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?

    What I’m hearing is I should go sell my Walter Payton jersey because it’s got actual stitching

    I just buy a nice plain black shirt or hoodie with no branding or design on it. Super comfortable. Still rocking my teams colors. No fear of whoever is on my jersey to get traded or go crazy. It’s a great catch all.

    I haven’t bought a jersey in like 20 years.

      FYI, As an Aussie; The Raiders logo is ‘stylish’ in stores around the country. You see people wearing Raiders apparel and you just know they have no idea what code it is or who any players are.

        Honestly I feel like that about almost every person I see wearing US sports gear here as it’s almost all universally Raiders hats or Lebron jerseys.

      Hey, if I was a Raider fan I wouldn’t wanna rock the logo either after the last 20 years.

    If you’re on NFL shop mailing lists they have 25-30% off sales constantly and 40-50% off sales less often but several times a year. Wait it out and buy it then. You’ll get less ripped off. Jerseys went to shit when they left Reebok in 2012. Those Reebok jerseys are amazing. I still have a bunch and the fabric and stitching looks great on all of them.

    it’s because it has a holographic emblem dawg, a duh. /s

    in all seriousness, $170 for a jersey, come the fuck on. Even on thanksgiving, I had to go through 30 minutes, just to find the fucking game I wanted to watch (49ers vs. Seahawks).

    and then after all that, even with an NFL+ subscription, I basically missed the entire 1st quarter because some advertiser didn’t know how to target a demographic

    I was fully prepared to pay full price for a Seahawks throwback but learned the New Jerseys aren’t even stitched. $180 for a fuckin heat pressed Jersey. Chinese knock off it was, arguably looks better and was $30 lmao. Don’t support the NFL shop until they improve quality, it’s ridiculous.

    Insanity. Over double the cost the jersey my dad bought for me at my first game 10 years ago.

    Go to eBay. You can honestly get good condition jerseys and a fuck load of variety. Hell you can get vintage starter jerseys for $25-$50.

    Simple fact is…as long as people keep buying them then nothing will change. Go to any game and there are 30k morons all wearing them…got you all by the balls and they know it.

    Never mind that. The costs to actually go to a game are getting out of reach these days.
