Sports Throwback Jerseys

Simpson throwback you see is also fake. If you go to the Mitchell and Ness website in the FAQ section, you will read that Mitchell and Ness does not have a license to make these particular jerseys. So anyone with these jerseys have just been ripped off because they have just spent anywhere from $175-$300 on a knock-off. The only baseball throwbacks I like are the Astros striped throwbacks and the San Diego Padres Dave Winfield.

You can actually get that Jordan jersey for like $85 at some sites. I know its fake, but who is going to care anyway. I don't mind paying $85 for the fake one's when they look exactly like the real one's anyway. It's just the material that is different.
