It's the US model - replica and "authentic", with the "real" ones costing about double. NFL, NHL and MLB all do it.

Even the cheaper one is a mental price.
I'm shocked they have no "pro" stock in 4XL as well.

I can't speak for football shirts, but the "authentic" NFL and AHL ones I have from Cleveland are significantly better quality than the "replica" ones.

Nice work if you can get it.

The "Authentic" shirts retail at $149, with the "replica" ones at around $70. There is no way that they are worth £100 / £50, but people buy more of the expensive ones than the cheap ones, if the amount of space devoted to them in the shops is anything to go by. I was given both of mine after a lengthy stay there during an IT project - there is no way I would have paid for them. |
