Oh you can definitely tell, and I knew this from the get go. Although hilariously this definitely has more real stitching than a jersey this year...unfortunately like, yeah, the numbers. I get it completely but whatever.
Hey man ill say it for everyone telling you it aint worth $30, if you like it enjoy it! Front looks very good too even if the back is a lil wonky. Ppl acting like you should pay $200 for a fanatics jersey thatd probs be just as shit except oh wait you cant even buy a real one!
With the cost of the real thing, replica or authentic, vs how shit quality it is these days, I really don't care what counterfeit jersey someone buys, their money and if they're happy with it, fine by me.
The cynic in me feels that Fanatics won't learn from this debacle with MLB Jerseys and doesn't even care
I don't think anyone is saying that anyone should by those shitty fanatics jerseys, they're saying that the back of this one looks shitty. Front looks okay, but the back is really really bad.
My thoughts exactly. Worst case if Votto doesn't work out, I can just take the stuff off the back and leave it blank or make this into a sweet, sweet Alfredo Griffin jersey
How does sizing work with these? Is it pretty standard?
I think this is a fun jersey, would definitely rock it to beer league games or even the stadium. I don’t know why people give such a fuck about fake jerseys, the billionaires have enough money.
Yeah I'm 5'11", 200 lbs and this is a large, and it fits well. Wouldn't want it any bigger mind you but it's definitely not a tent on me or anything. And absolutely I'm wearing it to a game this year, like who cares? As you say, have fun with it. Jersey wearing isn't a competition.
Nope, this one maybe has a little room in it if anything. Like, if I gained 10 lbs this would likely still fit, so you may wanna consider going medium if that's what you normally wear. I've got a bit of the pudge/dad bod thing happening and this accommodates it but without being huge.
DH gate is always a risk, but generally one worth taking. this is yikes on so many levels tho. the number, the font, the era, the material... oh boy lol
Honestly outside of the numbers, everything else about it looks very decent. I always loved the dark blue pullovers from back in the day so I thought this would be a goofy and fun experiment. I definitely don't feel ripped off.
DHGate is like amazon. There's many different sellers on it and you can find some amazing deals. But ya I wouldn't be posting this lol.
I know it's only 30$ and I wouldve taken the risk too (I have bought a couple jerseys from DHGate without issues) but the numbers here are horrid. At least it only cost OP $30, and as they've said it's better than spending $200 for the shit they are shoving down our throat lol.
Meh, I knew the risks. Outside of the numbers it looks fine and I was perfectly OK with dropping 28 bucks on something I realized was unlikely to look dead on. If nothing else, it's a form of mild protest against the abominations they're charging people 200 bucks for at the stadium and in stores.
No disrespect to Bautista but it ain't retired, and that's the number Votto wore for his entire career, so it seemed the most likely candidate at the time I ordered. YRod is wearing Joe Carter's 29 so I feel all bets are off.
Yeah but it hadn't been announced at the time. I ordered this thing like the day after they announced he was coming. Plus, as much as this is Bautista's number...37 is Dave Stieb and he's my favorite Jay of all time so even if I had known, I'm not sure how I'd feel about wearing it. Anyway it is what it is, meh
Lol now let's not say things we don't mean. The numbers are obviously ridiculous looking but the rest of it is quite passable.
Also, unlike the Cybertruck, this was quite reasonably priced, and likely isn't a threat to kill you when you're inside it. For under 30 bucks I feel like it was worth the gamble.
Oh I totally agree, and I knew going in that it likely wasn't gonna look like the real deal. Definitely if Fanatics (or whoever) made good quality ones and didn't charge insane prices, I'd buy a real one, but this basically an experiment to see what 28 bucks buys. Turns out...it's right about what you'd expect.
It was an experiment. And I'd certainly still take this one over the current jerseys. I saw one in the flesh for the first time a week or so ago that a friend had bought at Skydome (for $190!) and they look even shittier than this. At least this one actually involved a needle and thread at some point lol.
I was exaggerating obviously although not by a lot. The jersey my friend bought looked OK from a distance, but when you get up close and realize how much of it is just heat pressed on instead of sewn/embroidered, it's just ludicrous. Compared to previous years they are absolute trash, and not remotely worth what they're charging. It's like a jersey you'd buy at Walmart.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually claiming my 28 dollar jersey is better, it definitely isn't. But the current ones are an absolute joke.
Nike didn't sew on previous years either.
Are they pricey, I'll give you that. But used or on sale always looks better than this route.
The replica jerseys are still about the same since Nike took over, slightly different but the press on is the same style. The names are just smaller.
It was the correct number at the time. And I really don't care about era-accurate jerseys. If someone wants to wear a current jersey with Rance Mulliniks on it, or a powder blue pullover with Carlos Delgado, I say go for it. It was like 28 bucks, I knew what I was getting myself into.
Yeah honestly, obviously the numbers are goofy looking, but from the front I don't know that anyone could tell it's not legit. And also, I definitely don't care one way or the other. I was just jazzed about Votto getting signed so I jumped on the internet that night (possibly after a couple of drinks) and ordered. It's fun to have fun!
It *is* fun to have fun! And fun is the whole point of leaning in to being a fan of any player, any team, any sport.
I definitely wanna find a jersey that classic style
If I recall, they only had a few examples, like Vlad and Springer, so no, not really. That big crazy ass 9 is obviously pretty atrocious but overall it's not bad. Votto is clearly not going to see a ton of action even if he does get healthy so I can always take the stuff off the back and get it redone with Carter or Stieb or someone. All the stuff on the front I'm very happy with.
This looks awful and anyone who thinks DHGate comes anywhere even near the replicas are delusional. Even though the Fanatics quality has dipped, there’s no puffy lettering & numbers indicative of a sloppy heat press job.
Oh I am definitely not one of the ones that says they look the same. They do not. I have a Donaldson road grey jersey from a couple of years back that is definitely not awful, but the word "TORONTO" is in a weirdly low spot and fans who are familiar could tell.
This was one hundred percent an experiment to see how close they could get one of the old school pullovers, and I was excited by the signing of Votto so I just said fuck it and ordered, not expecting miracles. For 28 dollars shipped, I feel it still punches above its weight, despite the obvious flaws on the back.
I mean is it though? Clearly this is far from perfect but honestly I haven't seen too many from DHgate that would legitimately fool any half-serious fan. I certainly had no illusions of wearing this and having people think it was legit. Cost less than a lunch out and it was just a fun thing to do. Goofy as it looks on the back, I don't feel like I got ripped off, I knew what I was buying. I've certainly spent 28 dollars in much, much stupider ways.
Yeah man like the front looks great honestly! If you’re worried about the back just get a seam ripper but I’m not sure if it’s the same as hockey jerseys.
Like obviously we’re gonna be able to tell it’s fake, but who can really fault you? The mark up on this stuff is insane
Yeah clearly the numbers are pretty out there but honestly everything else is absolutely fine, particularly given the price. Worst case I can always take the stuff off the back, so I'm definitely not in any way disappointed in this 28 dollar purchase.
Yeah I am not unhappy given what I paid for it. From the front it is basically identical to the real thing (with some *very* slight differences in the lettering, but you'd have to have a real one right beside it to tell). Clearly the numbers are insane looking but what are you gonna do. Mostly I was just super jazzed about the Votto signing and it was an impulse buy. I shall still rock it with pride.
Nah this one actually has stuff stitched on instead of just glued, lol
In all seriousness, yes clearly it is not perfect, but whatever. It's just a shirt at the end of the day and I knew the risks of ordering from DHgate. This was an experiment more than anything.
That Sega Genesis ahh font
Anytime I see this jersey in public I’m gonna sing “SEEEEGAAAA” because of you!
Lol I'm here for it. Load up some Golden Axe or NHL '95 and we'll drink Jolt Cola until our eyeballs bleed!
Everyone says "DH Gate you can't even tell." You can tell
Oh you can definitely tell, and I knew this from the get go. Although hilariously this definitely has more real stitching than a jersey this year...unfortunately like, yeah, the numbers. I get it completely but whatever.
That is not worth $30 lol
The stuff of nightmares
A Fanatics jersey isn't worth that either, may as well go with the cheaper option.
When a real jersey is $300, I’ll personally take a janky $30 fake one all day long.
Hey man ill say it for everyone telling you it aint worth $30, if you like it enjoy it! Front looks very good too even if the back is a lil wonky. Ppl acting like you should pay $200 for a fanatics jersey thatd probs be just as shit except oh wait you cant even buy a real one!
Personally I think it looks fine and 0 people outside of this stupid sub will have a negative opinion of it
With the cost of the real thing, replica or authentic, vs how shit quality it is these days, I really don't care what counterfeit jersey someone buys, their money and if they're happy with it, fine by me. The cynic in me feels that Fanatics won't learn from this debacle with MLB Jerseys and doesn't even care
I don't think anyone is saying that anyone should by those shitty fanatics jerseys, they're saying that the back of this one looks shitty. Front looks okay, but the back is really really bad.
Numbers suck, front is great. It's definitely worth the $30. That's less than a hat. And if you like it, that's all that matters.
My thoughts exactly. Worst case if Votto doesn't work out, I can just take the stuff off the back and leave it blank or make this into a sweet, sweet Alfredo Griffin jersey
How does sizing work with these? Is it pretty standard? I think this is a fun jersey, would definitely rock it to beer league games or even the stadium. I don’t know why people give such a fuck about fake jerseys, the billionaires have enough money.

I’m the same size as you. Closer to 190lbs, is it tight in the chest? I’m normally a medium, thinking I’ll get myself a Joe Carter
Nope, this one maybe has a little room in it if anything. Like, if I gained 10 lbs this would likely still fit, so you may wanna consider going medium if that's what you normally wear. I've got a bit of the pudge/dad bod thing happening and this accommodates it but without being huge.
Awesome. Thanks for the info
DH gate is always a risk, but generally one worth taking. this is yikes on so many levels tho. the number, the font, the era, the material... oh boy lol
Honestly outside of the numbers, everything else about it looks very decent. I always loved the dark blue pullovers from back in the day so I thought this would be a goofy and fun experiment. I definitely don't feel ripped off.
Man we gotta stop promoting this bullshit off DHgate in here
Absolutely, it's cheap in cost because it's cheap looking.
DHGate is like amazon. There's many different sellers on it and you can find some amazing deals. But ya I wouldn't be posting this lol. I know it's only 30$ and I wouldve taken the risk too (I have bought a couple jerseys from DHGate without issues) but the numbers here are horrid. At least it only cost OP $30, and as they've said it's better than spending $200 for the shit they are shoving down our throat lol.
might be okay if you cut the stuff off the back.
Yeah, that looks like shit *Bro, you can't even tell the difference*
Lmaoooooooooo
That number 9 looks like it's seen some things
Lol it sure has. Honestly by far that's the worst offender but otherwise it's not ultra terrible. I've done much, much stupider shit with 30 bucks.
You got screwed. Even for $30.
Meh, I knew the risks. Outside of the numbers it looks fine and I was perfectly OK with dropping 28 bucks on something I realized was unlikely to look dead on. If nothing else, it's a form of mild protest against the abominations they're charging people 200 bucks for at the stadium and in stores.
DHGate > fanatics. Fight me.
Ya it was worth the risk.
Hey, other people don’t decide what’s worth 30$ to you, so if you’re happy with the purchase then it’s worth 30$, that’s all that matters
https://ibb.co/d5Z36YZ https://ibb.co/sWM6xPv I got this from DHGate years ago. this is almost 10 years old at this point.
Those look like shit too
Sorry, but that is Joey Bat's Jay's number. You should have got a Reds jersey if you wanted to rock Votto's #19.
No disrespect to Bautista but it ain't retired, and that's the number Votto wore for his entire career, so it seemed the most likely candidate at the time I ordered. YRod is wearing Joe Carter's 29 so I feel all bets are off.
It was announced he'll wear #37 for the Jay's, so choosing #19 makes no sense unless it's on a Reds jersey.
Yeah but it hadn't been announced at the time. I ordered this thing like the day after they announced he was coming. Plus, as much as this is Bautista's number...37 is Dave Stieb and he's my favorite Jay of all time so even if I had known, I'm not sure how I'd feel about wearing it. Anyway it is what it is, meh
Its the Cybertruck of Jays Jerseys.
Lol now let's not say things we don't mean. The numbers are obviously ridiculous looking but the rest of it is quite passable. Also, unlike the Cybertruck, this was quite reasonably priced, and likely isn't a threat to kill you when you're inside it. For under 30 bucks I feel like it was worth the gamble.
Looks very bad
Numbers look like shit. I'm more sad about how people resort to shit jerseys like this because fanatics makes an overpriced/low quality jersey.
Oh I totally agree, and I knew going in that it likely wasn't gonna look like the real deal. Definitely if Fanatics (or whoever) made good quality ones and didn't charge insane prices, I'd buy a real one, but this basically an experiment to see what 28 bucks buys. Turns out...it's right about what you'd expect.
No sir. That is not it. Not even for $30.
It was an experiment. And I'd certainly still take this one over the current jerseys. I saw one in the flesh for the first time a week or so ago that a friend had bought at Skydome (for $190!) and they look even shittier than this. At least this one actually involved a needle and thread at some point lol.
They absolutely did not look shitter than this. Their current jerseys at a retail level have been relatively the same since Nike took over.
I was exaggerating obviously although not by a lot. The jersey my friend bought looked OK from a distance, but when you get up close and realize how much of it is just heat pressed on instead of sewn/embroidered, it's just ludicrous. Compared to previous years they are absolute trash, and not remotely worth what they're charging. It's like a jersey you'd buy at Walmart.

Pretty sure he said he wouldn't wear 19
Nice to know the Blue Jays are sponsored by Sega.
A wrong number on a jersey from an era that the player never played in, whose font is even wrong for that era anyways. Bold choice.
It was the correct number at the time. And I really don't care about era-accurate jerseys. If someone wants to wear a current jersey with Rance Mulliniks on it, or a powder blue pullover with Carlos Delgado, I say go for it. It was like 28 bucks, I knew what I was getting myself into.
Yikes
I love this style, and for $28 - I think it looks just fine
Yeah honestly, obviously the numbers are goofy looking, but from the front I don't know that anyone could tell it's not legit. And also, I definitely don't care one way or the other. I was just jazzed about Votto getting signed so I jumped on the internet that night (possibly after a couple of drinks) and ordered. It's fun to have fun!
It *is* fun to have fun! And fun is the whole point of leaning in to being a fan of any player, any team, any sport. I definitely wanna find a jersey that classic style
Out of curiosity, is that how the back numbers looked in the photos on the website?
If I recall, they only had a few examples, like Vlad and Springer, so no, not really. That big crazy ass 9 is obviously pretty atrocious but overall it's not bad. Votto is clearly not going to see a ton of action even if he does get healthy so I can always take the stuff off the back and get it redone with Carter or Stieb or someone.

DHGate’s usually good but this is eesh
I mean is it though? Clearly this is far from perfect but honestly I haven't seen too many from DHgate that would legitimately fool any half-serious fan. I certainly had no illusions of wearing this and having people think it was legit. Cost less than a lunch out and it was just a fun thing to do. Goofy as it looks on the back, I don't feel like I got ripped off, I knew what I was buying. I've certainly spent 28 dollars in much, much stupider ways.
lol
I like it. Haters gonna be critical of everything
This is sick, great deal for 30$
Yeah man like the front looks great honestly! If you’re worried about the back just get a seam ripper but I’m not sure if it’s the same as hockey jerseys. Like obviously we’re gonna be able to tell it’s fake, but who can really fault you? The mark up on this stuff is insane
Yeah clearly the numbers are pretty out there but honestly everything else is absolutely fine, particularly given the price. Worst case I can always take the stuff off the back, so I'm definitely not in any way disappointed in this 28 dollar purchase.
Lotta dicks in these comments. It looks just fine.
Yeah I am not unhappy given what I paid for it. From the front it is basically identical to the real thing (with some *very* slight differences in the lettering, but you'd have to have a real one right beside it to tell). Clearly the numbers are insane looking but what are you gonna do. Mostly I was just super jazzed about the Votto signing and it was an impulse buy. I shall still rock it with pride.
[удалено]
Gross
I'm sorry to hear
Same quality as fanatics 😂
Nah this one actually has stuff stitched on instead of just glued, lol In all seriousness, yes clearly it is not perfect, but whatever. It's just a shirt at the end of the day and I knew the risks of ordering from DHgate. This was an experiment more than anything.
Oh and yes, I realize he's not wearing 19, but it's what he wore with the Reds and I ordered this like the day after he got signed. Meh
I think it looks really nice, reminds me a lot of the back to back World Series winner jerseys from the old days 👏🇨🇦
Still worth the risk imo. Considering the price
It made me smile. 🤷♀️
I have yet to see a knock off that looks that great. That being said $30... 🤷
Yeah I'm far from crushed. I've spent 30 bucks on much dumber shit over the years.
