I've checked around and just don't want to get scammed. Was wondering if anyone has purchased replicas from any sites and if so, which one would you recommend? Mods feel free to delete if this isn't appropriate. I'm just looking for a little guidance on this. Thanks.

Seriously, I've used DH Gate on a few occasions and each one has been fine.Etrius24 and Cashvillesent like this. -

I'm not a jersey guy (I don't think I look good in them), so I didn't want to spend much for something I probably wouldn't wear much. I watch most games at home and don't wear a jersey watching those games. I really only wear a jersey if I'm at a game or either hosting or going to a game viewing party. Most recent years that's between 0-1 times. If I go to a SB party then I'd wear the jersey so that might add a second wearing.resnor likes this. -
My daughter picked this shirt out from the Miami Dolphins Pro Shop (Fanatics Experience) for her birthday. She liked it, so I wasn't going to quibble and try and talk her into something I think she should have. I just ordered it but was a little surprised at the long turn around time. She won't get it until mid-July. My fault on that one. I think I missed the small print on the site. She's cool with waiting for it, though. :-)

Another way to better track your shipment- when it hits US customs from China, it usually sits there 3-5 days on average. Once the package leaves customs you lose tracking (since China was tracking it), but from there it's always less than a few days away.
Also, the WORST jersey we've received so far had a few strings loose at the very bottom, which we cut with a scissors and all was fine. Each jersey has been washed at least once or twice and we haven't had any fraying or fading issues so far. I'm guessing that most of these are the same as the authentic NFL jerseys since they're made in China anyway....we're just getting knockoff tags (Nike/NFL) on them. They're 100% identical to the real thing though.
I'll post all my jerseys sometime this week so you guys can see the quality- other than non-standard color variations though (which I sometimes prefer to be different), most wouldn't know the difference from an authentic one.Last edited: May 19, 2020rafael, resnor and Surfs Up 99 like this. -
Thanks guys, sounds promising. And yes Key....please post some pics. I'm not really a Jersey guy either, but I want a Marino one.

My experience ordering knock-offs from these chinese websites has been this... you get what you pay for. I've got an authentic Tannehill jersey, and 3 or 4 from different knock-off websites. I'll just say this, it's not even close. The colors are off, the logo looks like crap, the materials aren't the same, they're not even on the same level. If you wore it to the stadium during gameday, you'd stick out like a sore thumb IMO. I had a Red Wings (NHL) jersey I ordered from one of these sites in Red. The red was deeper in color than then authentics. It looked terrible, so bad that I tossed it in the garbage at the arena. My Dolphins jersey's are no different. The aqua looks more green, than the authentic aqua jersey does. Just everything about them is sub-par.

I don't understand why people buy jerseys. The guy will most probably not be on the team in a few years.
Buy a nice sweatshirt or jacket. -
Also, if you're over 15 you shouldn't be wearing a jersey.

thats why i bought true Dolphins jerseys (minus Ricky Williams) Marino, Taylor & Wake

Thanks for the DH Gate link. Tua was the guy my son wanted for the QB pick. I got him the teal one. I ordered the white one. My garage is my man cave. 1/2 rack work out area and large screen with Bose surround sound. Roof is where the jerseys of players retired or moved on go. Current player jersey is hung right below the TV. Wish I could figure out how to post a picture but I only seem to be able to post pictures that are hosted somewhere else.

Does the DH Gate site have a throwback jersey for Tua design because if so I'll grab that? I tend to use my Jersey's for either game day or for when I go for runs and my Jarvis Landry rookie jersey has now definitely seen better days.
-
I just checked DHGate for my Tua jersey status- I bought it on 5/10/20 and it shipped on 5/12/20. Their estimated delivery date is 8/10/20....meaning 90 total days. I know COVID has slowed overseas shipping but I had no idea it was that bad. I'll post though once I do receive it.

I dont think it's just Covid. The company I work for ships things via standard mail, ups and fedex and none have wait times like that for our deliveries right now. -
Edit- I just realized that mine shipped 4 days before yours...and it's still in China. So you got a lucky roll on getting yours super fast during COVID- grats!Last edited: Jun 3, 2020 -
You'll get yours soon. All I wanted was to get it for the start of the season anyways. Even though personally I'm hoping Fitz and the team plays so well that Tua only gets spot duty this year. I'm hoping Tua only starts when he is so ready and so good that Flores can't keep him out rather than out of need or b/c of pressure to play him due to losses or poor QB play. -

So I got my jersey last night. I'm in the midst of a string of 12 hour shifts so I haven't examined it real closely, but on my initial once over I was impressed. The feel and weight of the material, the details and quality of the stitching all seem very good. Basically on par with jerseys I used to buy from the Miami Dolphin's shop for $100+. I will probably never be a jersey guy myself (it's just not my look), but I like having one for attending football parties or a game. This one fits the bill perfectly.

My sister got me a knock off Tannehill jersey two years ago, and my experience with it mirrors yours, Raf. I can't see myself spending $150 on something that I can get for way way cheaper.
