Every Ravens fan should own one...:thumbup:

you really cant trust online sites for the real authentic jerseys

I have even seen some really bad "authentic" jerseys being sold in white marsh for a $100 bucks. Theres so many imitations its sick

I don't get why people pay so much more for "authentic" jerseys. I buy the knock-offs and they are fine. I can by 5 knock-offs for the price of one "cheap" authentic.

It's like buying a cheap Jacuzzi or umm, let's say for example...err, a Heat Pump...yeah, a Heat Pump:069: ...If you buy a cheap one, you'll eventually regret it...:bag:

That's why if you can afford it, you always get the best (although naturally if you can get the best for a low price, by all means go for it...)

It seems we disgaree on more than just Boller/McNair. :D

I am a big proponent of the authentic jerseys. Instead of spending my money on getting several replica jerseys of players who might be gone in 5 years, instead I buy an authentic jersey of a player who will always be a Raven first and foremost, like Ray Lewis. Even if Ray gets traded someday, he'll be associated with the Ravens like Johnny U was with the Colts or Franco Harris was with the Steelers. Plus, the authentic jerseys just make you feel good. They're tough and the stitching is nice. :thumbup:

...Or in terminology that Greg is more familiar with: It's the difference between going to a restaurant in Towson to listen to some cheap lounge singer perform and flying to Margaritaville for a Jimmy Bufett extravaganza...

I have several jerseys that I generally only wear to games, so I wear each maybe once or twice a year. At games I drink beer and eat mass amounts of meat with condiments which all find there way onto my clothing because I am a pig. Given this, what will a jersey costing over a hundred bucks do for me what a $15 won't?

Cheap Jaccuzzi is redundant. You can buy a higher quality hot tub for a good price or you can get a glitzy one that does the same thing but maybe has a stereo in it.

Okay, the fact that you're a self-admitted messy eater explains your stance.

If I were a messy eater I wouldn't rightly invest in a lot of authentic gear... But I would at least purchase one black authentic jersey for special, non-eating/drinking/drooling events...

[crowdog89]

I own two Authentic jerseys. One is a purple Sharpe one I got for around a hundred bucks the year Shannon left the Ravens and returned to the Donks...the other one is my black "Crowdog" 89 one that I generally only wear to games.

Authentic ones will last way longer than even the best replica ones. Years, and years, vs about 3-5 years until the numbers and letters on the printed ones start to peel and fall off.

I never understand paying 200-300 bucks for an authentic jersey with a players name on the back...other than Ray Lewis...I wouldn't have purchased the Sharpe one if it wasn't on sale.... due to the fact that he no longer was a Raven.

I wouldnt trust the authenticity of a jersey sold by a guy named "NYC Streetware".

Your askin for a fake.

[Luker218]

bassgtrst,

Normally, I'd agree with you 100%, but I took a chance (for that price!) and bought a Ray jersey from that seller and it's terrific. I'm very particular about being able to pick out if it's authentic or not. Mine was totally legit! Just wanted to pass on the information to anyone thinking of buying that on on Ebay. I would definitely recommend it.

[edreedisgod20]

I'm sorry, I can't find this? Is it still there? I tend to be kinda incompetent at things like this. Can anyone help me?

I've always wanted an authentic (especially Ray before he retires) but haven't been able to afford it on a university student's budget.
