Is this one real?

First off, thanks for setting up this great resource!!

Do you think this one is legit? The jock tag looks real, but I'm no expert......THANKS for you opinion!!

This is a Steelers Polamalu 3rd jersey with the 75th Anniversary patch on it.

After looking and comparing to the great info here, I'm thinking I've got a fake. Reebok vector looks off, as well as footballs on equipment tag and neck tag. Jock tag looks really close to real to me though.

Glad I only paid $80 for it.

Welcome to the forum, glad you are finding it useful. I have to agree with you, it does look like a counterfeit.

looks fake to me as i have 3 steelers authentic jerseys

I must say, I went to the mall today and looked at an authentic. The footballs on the neck tag and equipment tag most certainly were not 'perfect' by any measure.

I'm glad they are changing to Nike. The reeboks are being so well counterfeited these days, the line between real and fake is becoming mighty blurry.

The Shield on the collar can't be "perfect." Its thread. But you can tell a lot of fakes by the thread they use to attach the shield to the collar: authentics are sewn with clear thread where fakes usually use white thread. Also, if you look at the tag on the inside of the collar. The fake looks terrible. These tags are usually very nice on the authentics as they are embroidered on a single layer of fabric, and the stitching and the football look way better than on the fakes.
