Authentic Jerseys
Bryan_Admin:
Hey M,
hate to break to you - but that's a replica. A VERY VERY VERY good replica, but replica none the less?
What keyed me in?
The easiest place to notice a difference is on the arms. Authentic jersesys, as can be seen

Have the logo and arms "bands" printed, not sewn on. you can also tell that the white arm bands should not run directly into the logo, but should be "cut out" around the logo. ie there should be red space around the logo.

Also, what I'm not 100% sure about, but I believe to be true - is that the authentic jerseys are all one material, the more meshy type that is on your jersey where the number on the front is. I am not 100% on this, but that is the way it has been in the past.
More than likely you got a premier replica as opposed to a replica. Meaning you still saved about $60 and got a damn nice jersey in the process.
I don't want to "burst your bubble" not my intention, but I did want to straighten out this so that people know what they are getting... and what can I say, I am really picky when it comes to these things :)

Hmm well look at that! I would never have guessed hehe. Oh well no biggie, its still really very nice. Heavy material, sewn on number and letters.... ill take it. and if I saved any money in the process, works for me hehe. Thanks for pointing it out though, id rather know than not know hehe.
Bryan_Admin:
that's what I figured :) sorry I had to be the messenger... I still think it's a sick jersey, especially for what you paid!
49er tone:
I actually liked the sewn on lines on the sleeves, they look pretty good, very very very nice jersey ;)
My hook up are the Mitchel and Ness Throwbacks and prices in stores for those are at least $300. Real good material. I looked at my Sanders throwback (with the 49ers) and the lines are stiched also but it also has the 75 year patch stiched on it too.

Mitch & Ness are available in the 49ers Paradise stores as well.
