HELP: Need to know if this Wilson jersey is authentic

[gmoney]

I purchased this used, the guy said it was authentic and from the proshop. I'm still not sure if it's real or not. Any help will be much appreciated.

Fire test?

It looks fairly well made to me. The woven panels actually look woven and not little holes punched out of a solid material.
The stitching looks top notch too. Even though I haven't seen one of the new authentics up close and personal, it has all of the details
that I've read about.

I think it was a good purchase.

Sewn in jock tag, feathers pointing upward. Made in Honduras. Looks like the Nike limited jersey not the Nike elite authentic. Looks legit. Give it the water test. Spray water on the shoulder area, if the water beads up its the real deal.

Looks fake to me. The gray stripes should meet the flywire.

If you're not entirely sure you can always pour water on it.. if it's real it will bead up.

I got it for $80, i'm just trying to determine if it's real or not. Because I've had people tell me it is, and people that it isn't. from what I've read online, it pretty much matches up perfectly. But doesn't $80 seem to low for a used elite?

I'm 99% positive that's a knockoff. There are minor details (gray on the upper chest, and feather detail around the collar) that don't look right.

Comparing it to mine, the stitching on the numbers are wrong, and the Nike sign is supposed to be stitched as well. I guess all in all, it just doesn't look quite right.

It's a fake but a really good one. I know because I bought mine directly from Nike. Hope you didn't pay $300 for it.

It's not the Nike Elite. Looks like the Nike limited. Give it the water test.

I did the water test and water does bead off. However If I pour like a whole bottle of water on it, it starts to soak in. but rain drops just bead off.

I can't put my finger on it but something doesn't look quite right. Maybe I'm just delusional. :dummy:

Well a whole bottle is going to be absorbed. Looks to me like you bought the Nike limited not Nike Elite. For $80 still a good deal.

I'm pretty sure the Nike limited doesn't have the mesh on it.

 

[gmoney]

The dude I bought it from said that he paid around $160 for it new. So maybe it is the limited?

Sure it does. The Nike game doesn't have the mesh.

You got a limited. Congrats.

 

[razgriz737]

I don't know which name is what, but I have 2 $100 jerseys and there's no mesh part over the stomach like in these pics. No idea what that means or if that helps at all.

Honestly, who cares what anyone else thinks. Are you satisfied with your purchase? If you are, that's really all that matters. If it is fake, then use the money you saved by purchasing a fake and buy real tickets and go to a real game. Let the one's who had something to say sit at home in their $300 jersey and watch the game from their couch.
