Anyone have knowledge on Saints Gold Alternates?

Hi all, I just received this Saints Gold Alternate in the mail yesterday it looks pretty good but I just want to see if anyone notices anything wrong with it. Numbers are flat as a board and stiff, all glued down but when I received it there were some strands coming off of the numbers which I'm not sure means its a fake or if it was washed too many times. Thanks in advance for any help you might have.

Looks fine. The odd thread isn't anything to worry about.

Awesome thank you sir! Just was worried since it was the first jersey I received that didn't have everything perfect on the threads. I am still a little wary from my old days of having fakes.

Yep - it's 100% legit. I used to have this exact jersey, and it's identical to it.

As Billsfan said the occasional strand is nothing to worry about. Usually it is just due to multiple washes over time, but having said that I have also experienced it on brand new jerseys where the twill has frayed slightly just due to the angle the twill was cut at. I usually just use a pair of small scissors to cut away the loose strands and you should be fine.

In the last picture, the whiteness on the edge of the numbers looks to just be fluff that's caught in the thread during machine washes. You can use tweezers to pull it out and it should look a lot better, if it even bothers you.
