I'm surprised at how nice it is for $22. Numbers and letters professionally sewn on. Nothing ironed on. Color and size right. Everything's straight and nice and sized properly. Has NFL logo and looks authentic.

Love it! :cheer:

Many thanks to the guys who recommended aliexpress.com. :toast:
Pictures man!

I don't have a picture sharing site, instagram account, etc. So I figured I'd try attaching it here. We'll see what happens.....

Looks great, what site was that from?
Also sizing, I'm 6"3 AND 210lbs, so was thinking of going for the XL size option.

For comparison's sake, my jersey is an XL and I'm 5'7" 180#. I'd normally wear a L shirt size. But if I'm going to a game in December, I want to wear that jersey on top of everything else. Hence, the bigger size. It's appropriately a bit big on me in that pic (note the sleeve length).

With apologies for the necrobump, anyone looking at these this season? The options I'm seeing aren't jumping out massively... e.g. slightly suspicious that there's no front images at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000059 ... b201603_52.

Also torn between the orange number throwbacks and the new white 100th anniversary throwback and ideally would like a custom with Fencik... almost like I'm asking too much of a knockoff! If anyone still has the name of the store they used within Aliexpress I'd appreciate it.

The prices are great.

Fanatics really earned my loyalty though because I ordered a Roquan Smith jersey when the free shipping promotion was over. This was a week after I got the Mack one. I called them and asked for the free shipping and they took care of me. I'm getting the next one from them.

LOL, at first I thought this was a ploy to get a T.J. Clemmings jersey.

Can someone tell me if the jerseys they've ordered from the Aliexpress site have the stripes on the sleeve as ironed on transfers or are they actually part of the material. Reason for asking is my wife put my blue top in the dryer and the sleeve stripes basically melted. Need to order replacement and a white one for my daughter who wants one after she saw mine!

All the jersey's I've bought via China on eBay have screen printed stripes on the sleeve. The name and numbers are stitched and it's usually labeled as "on-field replica" or something, but I think even the $500 Nike Vapor Elites have screen printed stripes. I'm not 100% sure though.

I flip mine inside out, wash on delicate and air dry them. Which is like once a year.

Yeah don't put them in the dryer.

Like AZ said, inside out and wash it, hang dry it when done (normally)
