Alibaba Jerseys?

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I've been ordering jerseys off of sites like these for years now. I organize very large orders for my buddies and co-workers (25-30) at a time. I've probably ordered close to 150 jerseys in total (10 or so for me). Out of those 150 there has only been one that has been "bad". It was hilarious but only because it didnt happen to me. A coworker received a brand new white Cleveland Browns "Maniezl" jersey. I literally cried from laughing so hard when the girl put it on fresh out of the box and was walking around with it on, not even knowing.

Despite this one major mistake, I would say that there have only been a small handful of others with minor issues, which to me is very much worth the risk considering the price. Most of them have been 100% legit and when compared to the real thing you cant notice any difference at all.

I personally order from this site:

http://www.shop-cheapjerseys.com/

I've found it to be slightly cheaper than the rest, along with free shipping for over 10 items, plus for every 10 jerseys you buy you get one for free. (This is why I organize my work orders, because I take the free ones for my work) I always pay with Western Union to avoid any scams, but I dont think that would be an issue at all anyways. There customer service can be annoying to deal with if they dont have something in stock, but they will work with you and in general end up "finding" whatever it is you want.

I recommend staying away from the baseball style hats. My group has ordered 4-5 of them and only 1 has really been something that someone has wanted to wear. The knit beanie style hats have always been legit though, and have been of good quality.

I can post plenty of pics if you guys would like, but the ones Urban posted above are accurate as far as quality goes. They seriously look legit.
 
The shoes on Alibaba are counterfeit but they are wearable, and are just a cheaper version of the shoes. You might get some bad looks from sneakerheads. In terms of the jerseys I ordered, the links are in the OP. It appears they don't sell the Browns jersey anymore for some reason.
 
3 of my 4 orders arrived today. So far, 66% accurate. Really happy with the Manziel and classic LBJ, but the wine one is atrocious. The "CLEVELAND" lettering is ridiculously stretched and the color is pretty inaccurate. I took a photo of it beside my legit Kyrie swingman jersey for perspective. Does anyone know which supplier is selling accurate wine jerseys?

Man, I cringe every time I look at the wine one. And that's the one I wanted to be most accurate out of them all!
 
The wine lebron one doesnt look bad to me :/

How soon can we expect KLove #0 jerseys from our friends in China?? :chuckles:
 
My Daugherty jersey arrived:

I know I'm pretty late getting back here, but I ordered 2 Lebron jerseys off of Aliexpress, one I'm thrilled with, and one that's just OK.



This one I thought turned out fantastic. Fits great, looks great, colors seem right. My friend thought it was real.



This one, on the other hand, is kind of eh to me. The font and fit is fantastic, it definitely feels nice, but the colors are off. The wine turned out to be pretty much just red, which might not be noticeable to some people, but it was enough for me to go out and buy the blue one.
 
I just find it funny that a Chinese company that sells a bunch of bootleg stuff is having its' IPO in the US. Some of these apparel companies they copy have to be publicly traded and just a little irked, no?

First one is awesome! I had the same issues with my "wine" as well - mine also turned out more red. I think I may have found a supplier who replicates the colors more accurately. If it's legit, I'll send you through the details if interested.
 
Well then.. For those that didn't know, Alibaba has gone public. The company is worth just over $186.5 billion after the float - apparently this is one of the most successful companies in the corporate world. And the profit more than eBay and amazon combined! That's just crazy.

This is a really great read on the backstory and operations of the company as well as details on the company's birth on the stock exchange:

That would be great!
 
That would be great!

Just a quick heads up, this is what one supplier sent me:

The color looks right but I just don't know why the "CLEVELAND" lettering is so stretched. It's so obviously incorrect, yet they continue to print it this way.

You can really see the difference when you look at the lettering of the home white jersey you received and this one here:
