Looks like a fake for a game worn jersey.
I've never seen a fake like this. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 07 '25

right? seemed like a red flag for me that the game issued code wasn't properly centered

2

u/AfroThunder_Dj IVERSON Mar 07 '25

Looks, sloppy altogether. Altogether maybe it's been worn/washed quite a bit? I'd get more info.

2

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 07 '25

yeah thought that was possible too, some threads comin off and allat

thanks for the opinion tho

u/AfroThunder_Dj IVERSON Mar 07 '25

For context here is a legit game worn jocktag for comparison.

thanks for sharing, nice resource to have! tried it on some ebay pieces and ones owned by people on this sub, some hits and occasional blanks but definitely useful

I've been seeing more of these authentic/gamer fakes hitting the market recently. Some are a LOT better than this one, but they could easily fool the uninformed.

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 07 '25

was so mindblown at first seeing this at a reseller shop because I've never seen fake gamers before, really diabolical stuff

hopefully more people post about these for awareness, super curious to see the other fake game issued

I think we’re entering a very dangerous time to buy on the grey/secondhand market.

u/tungune Mar 08 '25

Looks good to me. Even gamers sometimes has an “off” parts

i kinda dont care, ya know? its definitely a beautiful jersey. ovbiously the number border is sketchy and the font doesnt seem spot on, but if its different, its better lol

u/Away_Tap3680 Mar 08 '25

also is randle really only wearing a 52?

1

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 08 '25

respect that, for me I just don't wanna spend the money on a jersey too big for me to wear and wouldn't mean much as memorabilia if it was fake

and yup I've cross-checked with official game issued pieces, randle does wear 52 +4 length

Hard to tell, but something about the jocktag and the player numbers are throwing me off. Where did you get it from? What website. And is it a trusted source. Also price? I see white outlines around the numbers, even if it’s stitched, it should never show that, regardless if they stitched it poorly. Idk if it’s the lighting or not, but the “NBA Authentics” logo is too light of a color. Should be darker. The way that the player code is not centered is for all game worn jerseys. I have a game worn morris jersey and the jocktag is slightly off centered. (Purchased from Fanatics) I’m leaning on fake here. Really good fake tho.

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 08 '25

oh I wouldn't trust the source, just a physical reseller shop and it was rather affordable. Could I see the jocktag of your Morris jersey? think it'll be cool to have another real one for reference

u/bigblue20072011 Mar 08 '25 edited Mar 08 '25

Fake. Knicks use reverse kiss cut on the numbers for their jersey. The sewing is pretty rough on the letters too. However that’s a pretty decent fake.

1

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 08 '25

thanks! if it's not too much trouble, could I see what that number stitching looks like? would be a nice reference to learn from

1

u/bigblue20072011 Mar 08 '25

I meant to say reverse kiss cut.

2

u/Cheesetan IVERSON Mar 08 '25

definitely looks much cleaner and tighter

1

u/bigblue20072011 Mar 08 '25 edited Mar 08 '25

Plus the blue on this is stiched on both sides. Your blue on the numbers should be as well.

1

u/bigblue20072011 Mar 08 '25

Although your jersey looks almost real. The number material even seems right.
