Can anyone tell me the best place for Jets jerseys? What is the difference between authentic and replica? Thanks
i usually get mine at nflshop.com. the replicas are like 90 bucks, the authentics are well over 200 if i recall correctly. Not sure if it's the best place for the jerseys tho. Maybe you can get some more input from other fans.
Authentic have sewn on names, and numbers and are made just like the pros wear them as we see in games. Replicas are printed, and aren't sewn on, thus the cheaper price. I only have one authentic, and I don't really like wearing them because of the material they are made of, but that's just me. A bit itchy.
I used to work at a Sports Collectibles store. If you know where the Source mall is on LI, I think you should go there. It's near the Cheesecake Factory and a Jillians, near Roosevelt Field (I think it was on Old Country Road). The prices were pretty good, and you could usually place orders. I bought my Chad Pennington authentic there for I think $140. I shoulda bought a Tom Brady jersey instead though.
Ebay has authentics for a LOT less. I bought one on ebay and one from Champs sports and they were exactly the same, only the ebay one was a like 50 bucks.
Ebay! I just got an authentic D-Brick jersey there for 40 bucks total. Its a $250 jersey at nflshop. Ebay is the place for jerseys, i dont buy jerseys anywhere else.
My son worked there too, I assume you don't work there anymore because of the overbearing manager, my son couldn't take him any more and quit...nice store though I buy stuff there all the time....
Yeah, that fat guy. I couldn't stand him. The pay was bad too, but you figured it would be a good place to work, it would have been if not for that bastard. I worked there I think at the end of 2003/the beginning of 2004. If your son worked there at the same time, there's a pretty good chance I knew him. What is your son's name?
NFL Shop or Jets Shop [.com] are the best, I guess. eBay is good, if you know what you are buying is legit.
A lot of the "authentics" you get on eBay are fakes so be careful. That necessarily isn't a bad thing as many of these knock offs are just as nice as the ones on nflshop just a lot cheaper. For example if you buy a Mitchell and Ness Namath on eBay for $50 chances are it is not real. But if you are careful you can get a really good looking one that would be worth the cash....
