well, i got a Ben Wallace jersey.........the blue one
last year i was lookin for one but was told that i could get one in Sydney but on Saturday i was in the shops in some sports store and i find a Ben Wallace..................2 days later i get my shirt
and i thought i'd never get a Pistons jersey........well i have one of those Teal Grant Hill ones
I paid 40 USD for the MPLS and 140 USD for the authentic, I know its expensive but hey why not?!? I have the money and before people will reply I will say, NO I dont think its a waste of money
I have the black and gold current Laker alternate jersey by champion On sale for $30 CDN ($20USD) I also got an away tmac jersey by champion for the same price. And the Lakers black rewind jersey of Kobe for $90 USD at nbacity at universal orlando.
Nice Jersey Matt, i got the exact same one about two weeks ago. I had to order it from Kickz101 in Melbourne and get it shipped to me because we can't get much more than Iverson, t-mac and Kobe up here in Townsville.
I paid $80 Australian for the Jersey and about $7 bucks postage but it was worth it, it's a cool jersey.
Kickz101 has quite few jerseys for sale check em out.
The difference: 1 - Authentics are the same jerseys as the NBA players wear on court 2 - The lettering and numbers are sewn on, on replicas theyre screenprinted. There are also Swingman jerseys (like mine MPLS), this jerseys also have sewn on but they have a Nike logo under the Logoman and the materal is heavy mesh. 3 - The material used on a authentic is Polyester Dri-fit while a replica is nylon mesh. 4 - The most importand difference: a authentic jersey breaks necks (people look at you like ) while replica´s dont
The authentic jerseys also have more detail, like a clippers authentic will have the interlocking "LAC" at the v on the neck, while replicas don't. But hey, I got 2 replicas for $40 USD so I'm Pretty soon I'll probably get s marbury home authentic.
It's kinda funny that while the replica's we can get in Australia from Steve Rolton are very limited they are still fairly high quality. Our replicas have the names and logos sewn on instead of hand printed (well the three i have anyway) so i guess our situation in Oz isn't as bad as we often think.
I've never owned an Authentic but a mate of mine has a couple and you can REALLY tell the difference in the quality, they make me
You can also order them from http://www.eastbay.com (which is basically the same thing i think) and they will deliver it to nearly any country on the planet. It will probably cost you more than a small call though, really expensive.
I bought a pair of nike shox VC's from Eastbay and it cost me $140 all up including delivery and taxes etc. You can get some bargains on the site but the jerseys work to be very expensive once you ad on the $27 us shipping fee they throw on top of anything you buy.
