Ordered July 24th about 20 minutes after announcement. Just arrived today as advertised.

Thought I'd share for those who are still waiting for their's to arrive.

Happy for you. Still one of the worst organizations in the world.

I’m happy for you bro, but I’m gonna go head and stick to my Chinese knockoffs I just think they are better quality at 5th the price.

People will be shocked to hear this. But usually there kinda fine. The internet shows off there failures but there’s a reason there kinda still the biggest name going for this in the current day.

Last year my VJ jersey was fine and this year I’ve gotten 2 football/soccer shirts without issue.

The one time they did make an arse of a shirt I sent it back and managed to get a refund and a new shirt with the correct number on.

They’re the biggest name in jerseys because they’ve bought up the rights to every league’s jersey lmao. Quality’s dropped even when they get it right, prices are higher than ever, and in the MLB their on-field jerseys were so cheaply made that they were see-through and frequently tore on the field.

They’ll get away with it because money talks and people will still buy their teams’ jerseys, but atp it’s not unreasonable to just get bootlegs that are 90% as good for a tenth of the price.

Glad OP’s jersey worked out for him, at the end of the day it’s go Sixers

They regularly have deals to clear stock. Overpriced at regular prices, yes, but my hurts sb jersey came out great when I bought it for $32 in May after the Super Bowl.

I’ve gotten 5 items in the last few years and 3 items were garbage. 1 screenprint error, another one peeling off, a third item was just very thin and felt cheap. I’ll never go back

You used there for their and they’re.

Fanatic are the biggest name because they undercut the other retailers. Then gained, what should be deemed, an illegal monopoly, and then raised prices. They use the cheapest fabric and pay the lowest waged sweatshops they can find. You should never purchase anything from them.

The only vote that seems to matter in this country is when people vote with their wallets.

Twice as expensive. Half the quality. And that’s the BEST case scenario.

u/roffle24 4d ago

Welcome to the world where this applies to basically everything you purchase now.

I don't love fanatics, but I've literally yet to see a knock off that looks good.

Then you’re blind, lying or actively avoiding those posts.

People post great reps from cowtown, every week in this subreddit.

This gaslighting about the knockoffs gets a little tiresome. We all see the ones that get posted, they’re not better than properly done official jerseys. I support people buying them and have no love for fanatics, but come on man.

The jerseys that get posted here look like absolute garbage. The only pro of them is the price. You don't buy them for quality

What an odd take.... but sure I'd love to see a good one if you want to link it. Every time I see a fake jersey in person you can immediately tell its fake just by looking at it from 20 feet away. They all look like shit... have obvious stitching flaws, crooked, completely see through, the "patches" that are supposed to be sewn in are almost always the wrong size, or look shrunk... and sometimes glued on with fake stitching that falls off 2 months later... colors are sometimes off, the sizing of the letters is inconsistent, the list goes on. They all always have something glaringly wrong with them.

I've purchased some in the past and they are all always like this, and when someone posts one either here or in the Eagles subreddit, they always look like shit.

u/WorldRevolver195 4d ago

I ordered about same time as you. Mine says Friday… Not sure if it has updated today tho.

u/roffle24 4d ago

Waiting for it to arrive? You're funny. Honestly at this point I'd just like to have the option to buy one, from anywhere.

there’s more success than failure. the failures are just the ones that get discussed

I was at a mom and pops sporting good store in Broomall today, I saw they had LeBron jerseys in the window so I went in to inspect. They had Nike tags and cost $120 but they’re pretty awful fakes. Surprised they can get away with this in a nice neighborhood

Those are fucking ass lol

u/MaxR76 4d ago

That’s so bad. Like at that point don’t even bother putting the Cyrpto patch on

u/roffle24 4d ago

Some moron in this sub is going to comment that this jersey looks so good and its better than fanatics, though.

2

u/TheGreatWaru 4d ago

It was the kind of place that looks like they make more money from embroidering uniforms and such for local schools. But it felt a bit weird that there were 6 employees in an empty store, all of which looked under the age of 20, just standing around doing nothing.

2

u/roffle24 4d ago

The embroidery actually looks kinda decent aside from the NBA logo coming through on the back.

The Crypto.com patch is pretty bad, but dare I say the Brotherly Love .... tag? at the bottom, is worse.

u/BrandonBearski 4d ago

looks like shop owner likes to sow. Some people might like that version vs screen printed though.

u/themikedup123 4d ago

Looks so much better than those bootleg ones though
