That site screams FAKES !!!! at you.... very loudly....

Wrong names, Wrong numbers, Even players who've never played for the team they're being listed under (Dallas Clark, New York Giants ?????)

Check out the "google translate" English in the FAQ. (and a bunch of other places).

Check out those old-design NFL shields they claim are on their shirts (old or current)

Contact address in China. No business email addy (it's just a gmail account).

And just in case you didn't get it from browsing the products, they very kindly tell you the shirts aren't the real thing at the bottom of the front page (under "Why buy jerseys from us?") :-
"With the same craft and fabric as the authentic one, premier jersey has the identical exterior appearance and the same quality with the genuine one".
(although that might be just another case of terrible English, and they really meant something else...)

Don't buy there then..
Cheers big fella.

I have noticed that quite a few elite jerseys are popping up on Ebay and when they say they can get any name and number there either the really expensive custom ones or a fake as there isn't a lot of choice in the elites, but really a £200 jersey for £90 alarm bells are ringing.

Does anyone know if this website is real or fake? http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Zools-ltd/N...=p4634.c0.m322

Looks like it may just be second hand jerseys

Haven't looked at them all, but the the ones I did were all 'replicas', i.e. screen printed numbers, hence you can see the mesh through the numbers.

Fake jerseys are all 'authentic', i.e. with sewn numbers, so premiers and replicas are safe buys.

No worries, thanks a lot for that. I was just curious as a few of the jerseys are pretty old but after looking closer at the jersey info they seem to be real but second hand.

Was wondering if anyone knew if this sight is legit?

The prices are slightly cheaper (limited jersey the price of a usual game jersey and an elite jersey the price of a limited) but not so cheap that you're instantly sure that its a fake? The Throwbacks are a lot cheaper though. If real I might try and convince the missus to purchase a silver Marcus Allen one for my Xmas!

Cmon guys, cheap price, complete stock of every player in every size, claims to be 'the official raiders shop', when clearly it isn't. I don't mean to be rude, but this kind of question comes up every week. It really isn't rocket science.

Same obvious "fake" indicators that have been posted several times recently in this thread, by myself and others.

The real "Official Oakland Raiders Online Store" would have an "FAQ" section written in something approaching correct English.

The real "Official Oakland Raiders Online Store" would have a selection of ways to contact them, including a US phone number and a business email - not some spurious embedded "contact form".

For starters.

Saw some horrendous fake jerseys being worn by people at the fan rally.
