To help with the purchase/ decision to purchase authentic jerseys we have come
up with a few questions and answers. Also, we have added a sizing chart. Keep in
mind, the jerseys still run big, with extra length, as they were meant to be worn
with shoulder pads, or be tucked into shorts. (Professional athletes are also
built a little bigger than most of us!)
What is the main difference between replica jerseys and authentic jerseys?
The main difference is the quality. Authentic jersey numbers, letters, and logos
are all stitched, while replica jerseys are screen printed. Of course, the price
goes up with quality. Unfortunately, retail sports stores have driven the price for
throwbacks and authentics way up.
Why are authentic jerseys so high in price?
A lot of the price in authentics consist of licensing/ player/ league fees that are
assessed to the manufacturing companies to be the "Official Provider" of a
particular team or league. That is why you will see different companies making
each individual teams jerseys. These manufacturers pass these expenses on to
the retailers, who in turn pass it on to the consumers. Some even make money on
the shipping costs. We try to get the jerseys from the source, and then provide
free shipping to the consumer.
Is the difference in price worth purchasing authentic over replica?
This answer definitely depends on you or the recipient of the jersey. For men, I
compare this situation to buying cars. Replica jerseys are like mini-vans,
authentic jerseys are like convertible sports cars. Both will get you from point A
to B, but... For women, I compare cubic zirconium to diamonds...do I really need
to go on?!?!
I want to get an authentic jersey for someone as a gift, where do I start?
First, find out who the recipients favorite team/ player is. If you only know
limited information, your best bet is to go with a throwback or franchise player
of their favorite team. We can help you with this if you still are not sure. You
don't want them to be that guy who wears the jersey of a player who was traded
to another team, very awkward!!! A lot of retail stores/ online shops will offer
huge discounts on jerseys of a player who has been traded to another team. If
you are not sure why a particular jersey is discounted, ask them.
I have decided to go the replica route, does Mr. Throwback have any of these for
sale?
We have decided to go the authentic route in sports jersey sales. Once in a while
suppliers send us stitched jerseys, but not the actual jerseys worn by the players
on the field/ court by mistake. There are a few examples of this listed on our
site, but we discount them and let you know the reason for it. Fill out what you
are looking for in the contact us page, and we will try to help you with other
sites/ stores who specialize in replica jerseys. If you have ever caught your
recipient sneaking off to the other TV to check on who is leading the golf
tournament, or figure skating championships while the game is on, a t-shirt,
sweatshirt, or replica jersey may be the best choice, you have much more to
worry about!!!!
