Well of course they're going to bitch. No company wants competition, which leads to lower prices. I'd say its almost our duty to buy knock offs as fans though. The more people that buy them, the more chance the rich execs in sports will feel a little competition for once in their lives and finally lower their ridiculously high prices.

Zeb,
Do the water test. Spray or sprinkle water on the jersey. If it absorbs water it's a fake. The water beads up on the real jerseys.

They're not screen printed, they're stitched. The guy, who I didn't actually meet, friend of a friend, claims they're official Nike jerseys, defects from the manufacturer that didn't pass quality control. I assumed from the start that they were knock offs simple because of the unlikely scenario. And again, I don't even care if they're legit or not. I feel how tomahawk does about it. The fact that they're actually really nice is just a bonus.
Thanks for the input guys.

First off I haven't really seen any fake screen prints, cus most ppl aren't gonna bother getting a knock off screen print (how cheap are you at that point).
But anyway:
4) Big give away..if it's an Elite jersey and the shoulder side strips (the grey part that says SEAHAWKS) are not arching up and meet slightly at the Flywire. It's a fake. The only ones that did that were the first run of Elites but Nike corrected that midway through the season (yes I owned both direct from the Pro Shop).
Real:
1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nike-Elite-Auth ... 19d7240986 - note how the shoulder strips meet the flywire, note back number takes up almost entire box, some of the marshawn lynch ones actually extend outside of the box. When you take a picture, the jersey should NOT reflect your flash.
Fake:
1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NFL-Nike-Elite- ... 4ac214d0eb ( very good fake, but it's fake)
2) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russell-Wilson- ... 337f748454 - Signed but fake
3) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seattle-Seahawk ... 1e78104980 - Fake, flywire too reflective, plus there are no limited or elite jerseys for Kam Chancellor outside of a custom from Nflshop.com
Cheers.
Screen Print: All names (mostly)
Limited: Lynch, Rice, Thomas, Fan are the only ones to Date that have actually been made, the rest are fake
Elite: Outside of custom jerseys made from nflshop.com (and no one would pay $300 for a custom elite jersey only to turn it around and sell it for under $200). The only ones made are Lynch, Fan, Thomas, Rice, Baldwin. There are a FEW Wilsons made but those were ALSO customs made directly by the Pro Shop. Note that the elite jerseys from the Pro Shop for the first half of the season wwere actually blanks that they had customized by the shop that does the names/numbers for the on-field jerseys. That being said those jerseys actually have slightly larger numbers and names than those being made directly by Nike. I can post a pic of my two Lynch elite jerseys later to show if interested (one customized by Proshop early season that I got signed and replaced by a direct from Nike one later).

I got my Wilson Elite at the start of the season and mine looks exactly like the Elites directly from the Nike website. The gray stripe sits slightly below the flywire. Are you saying Nike corrected that and now the gray stripes actually touch the flywire? On top of the that, mine holds up to the water test. Water beads up on the shoulder and the Nike logo on the shoulder is part of the screen print and not a Nike swoosh patch like the Thomas jersey from the EBay link you posted.

- Yup your Wilson Elite Like my Lynch Elite at the start of the season were made by the pro shop customized by their team vendor. It used the old Nike elite blanks which had the gray stripes as you say slightly below the fly wire (like the gameday and limited ones..which IMO is garbage cus that's not how the on-fields are like). The new elites from Nike and the proshop have the gray stripes tilting up just a little and connecting to the fly wire. Not exactly like the on-fields but about as close as you can get.

We've compared it with the REAL authentic jerseys and they are identical. No Hawks fan I've met has been able to tell it's a knockoff, only payed 30 bucks for it too, straight off a chinese website. However, the other day we found "the bootleg"...
Around the collar, there are only 11 totem feathers on each side, not 12.
I must say, excellent work, washes well and the stitching doesn't come undone. Real quality.
