I'll try to keep this short. I wanted a nice, steezy basketball jersey for this summer. Something not too long just to wear around. I ordered an Iverson jersey brand new from ebay. 40.00 + 17 bucks for shipping, from hong kong. That should have been my first hint that this was a fake jersey, but the seller had perfect feedback. So I buy it. And the jersey came today, and it's dope as fuck and fits just how i wanted it to. But i immediately looked at the tag and the Reebok was written kinda slanted so it didn't look real. Nonetheless, everything about this jersey was still really high quality besides the tag.

So I ask my friend to look at it. He says it looks nice. But reebok doesn't have the contract to make NBA stuff. So it's definitely a fake.

I hate fake goods. But this jersey is sick. What would you do NS? Keep it, or not? The reebok is definitely clear on the upper left chest of the jersey.

I have a fake hockey jersey that looks god damn close to the real thing, and I wear it on occasion. Zero fucks given, because 99% of everyone won't even think twice about it.

What the fuck else would you do with it? It's not like you found a kitten or something, there's literally 0 commitment here, besides a coat hanger and .25 inches of lateral closet space.

If you really don't want it, give it to a homeless person, they'd be more than happy to rep that shit.

Actually, while Reebok doesnt make the actual court jersey's, they still make jerseys for fans. Its the not the same material, and everything, but a cheaper alternative for fans to get, when they cant afford the $200 dollar ones.

I have several, including one for Ohio State, with the same looking Reebok tag. Your good to go.

Am I the only one who does not in any way understand how that is a "fake" basketball jersey? That's like calling a baseball hat a fake because it's not a New Era Authentic On-Field Cap. It's still a baseball hat, is it not? Who gives a fuck if the jersey isn't a $200 exact replica of what the players wear on the court. It's still a fucking basketball jersey with your team's logo on it. Fuck.

i got tons of nfl jerseys on ebay in that price range. most of the times they are real (i am a little expert by now) but they were mishandled in some minor area (like stitchings on a number, logos, or just a few years old which wasnt a problem before that whole nike-thingy) but the rest is definitely authentic quality. some jerseys obviously are fake but look decently enough so most people wont notice. i would say that even the really fake ones would cost twice as much if they were produced over here.

but if its a reebok jersey and the NBA has nothing to do with reebok, thats just bad. china needs to step its game up. but still, normally they have legit enough quality and a lot of people wont notice.


wear that goddamn thing or dont, why would you even need our consultation?
