Can we talk about fake Chinese jersey websites?

[Orfieus]

Is this allowed? I am looking to buy a knock off jersey hoodie (I'll be damned if I am spending $200 on that). Am I allowed to talk about a specific website or would that get me banned? I'd really like to know if someone used this specific website that has a really decent knock off for like $50

If anyone has bought a knock off recently message me what website you used please

People can usually tell it's a knock off

I know where you can get a really sick authentic callahan jersey if you’re interested.

I'm guessing hfboards doesn't allow threads promoting illegal activity, which is what counterfeit jersey sales are.

DH gate jerseys are better quality than fanatics. I’ve bought 5-6 off of them now.

Because there's no ads on the jersey?

Oh no the quality is just so poor I wouldn’t waste my money.

Sometimes, they are actual jerseys that are sold in the US and Canada. In my travels I talked to a guy who works with a textile company (not for them) somewhere in Asia that produces them for Fanatics or did for Adidas too (something like that) and there’s an entire economy within those companies of selling on DHGate. The same happens with the “middle man” distributors. They make more money per item that way than from their contracts with the big rights holders. He mentioned that there are a lot of fakes, but if you know what you’re looking for, you may find the real thing. He also mentioned that workers will make the jerseys on the side because they know how and have a side hustle. This is often where your fakes actually come from if they are close to the real thing.

He was able to show me an Ajax jersey on there for $19 that he said was “definitely the genuine article”.

Either way, fascinating conversation that was started from an off the cuff comment about the prices of sports jerseys in the US compared with Europe, which I mentioned was still too high.
