@sixburgh @infamoss @ROBPZEE612 I'm searching for some wilson, russell and/or champion era jerseys. I'm having trouble deciphering whats a replica vs an authentic. So I have been judgin by nameplates on the back. Is it safe to assume nameplate on back = authentic whether number are screened on or not. Or is there another tip you guys can give to tell the difference ?

Yeah, I have to agree. There's something a bit off on the fit of the Elite. I like the tailored fit of the Elite, but the jersey is so damn rigid, not very comfortable. I actually prefer the Reebok authentic I bought back in 2011 over the Elite.

The reebok suck. Plus they didn't have normal sizes like 40/44 so...

Pro Cut RBKs are the best. Would take those over Elite's easily.
Older RBK is nice. Their 05-11 run is awful, smallest was a 46 and that **** fit like a 52.

The nameplates mean nothing.
Champion authentics are pretty easy to spot, but there aren't many out there.
Usually the replicas are sized numerically, 44, 48, etc. & the authentics alphabetically, S, M, L. But there are exceptions.
I would say look at the back numbers though, if they are the same shape in the front & back it's a replica, if the back numbers are vertically "stretched" like the pics below it's authentic.
You see what I'm saying?

@sixburgh So for reference this Barry jersey is a Replica even though it has a numerical size and nameplate right. The numbers appear to be the same size on the front and back. And thanks for the reply. I'm thrown off because most have numerical sizes but screened names with no nameplates.

The NFL shield on the collar is how I would know they were authentic back then lol

The numerical sizing shouldn't have thrown you off. Maybe you misunderstood my previous post, but that's what I said, numerical = replica when talking Champions.
As far as the screen printing goes, replicas were all screened, but so were plenty of authentics.
Actually, you're not going to find an authentic champion Barry because they didn't make the Lions on field jerseys.
How about this, here's a quick guide to B.Sanders jerseys:
1989 & 1990 Sand-Knit Large, X-Large sizing = replica 44, 48 = authentic (opposite of Champion) You're probably not going to find one though
1991-1993 Wilson NFL shield on collar = authentic These are the most common. Some will have the NOB (name on back) some won't.
1994 Apex One I'm not sure I've ever even seen one, don't bother
All of the above were screen printed, the following years would be twill numbers.
1995-1998 Reebok The jocktag will read "Pro Line Authentic". If you happen to see a white one please let me know. They aren't particularly rare or anything, I just recently decided I would like to have one & haven't come across it yet.
Happy Hunting
Nice Dunn btw. He & Alstott made a great "thunder & lightning" style combo.

I havent seen nfl.com go lower than 20% off, which sucks. I've noticed that ever since fanatics.com partnered with the nfl, the nfl shop has become very tight on discounts
The exception is if you wanted a traded player, those sometimes can be bought for 200 or less
They dropped elite jets tebows to $60 and i still passed

Seems like there's a lot of Bucs fans in the thread, so I wanted to share my favorite NFL jersey in my collection. No PM's please I am keeping this one forever lol. 1996-1997 Mike Alstott Creamsicle jersey.
The Bucs only wore stitched creamsicles in 95-96 (Russell)/96-97 (Wilson). The Bucs switched to their red color-scheme in 97/98.

Yea there is never big discounts on current players. Maybe 20% off and I don't think that happens too much
Only times there's deals Is on traded players or crap player jerseys. When Suh was still with the lions before even last season nfl shop had his jersey for like $120 for months and that was for the elite
