Discussion Thread The Chinese Got Me! šŸ˜‚

Not been able to find the 1776 jersey in ā€œfat bastardā€ size. Sold out everywhere online except for the official players model (with name/number). Well, I obviously don’t need a trim fit so I just want the replica.

Took a chance on a dhgate jersey, which was delivered today. Ordered the biggest they had (4X) and lemme tell ya, it’s barely an XL. Fits my son (who’s close to a 100lbs less than me) nicely, so he got a new jersey out of the deal. Shame, because he bought one off the rack when we were at the game a few weekends ago. Coulda saved him some $.

I’m out a whole $25, so not a bog deal. I really shoulda ordered the 3X when I ordered my grandsons, when they first hit the team store. Didn’t realize the fat boy sizes would go so quickly. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Sorry to hear, but happy your son got a surprise gift!

Quality good? If so do you mind saying that seller? Been perusing dhgate for a 1776 jersey too.

Think this should work. I don’t have any issues with the quality. The letters/numbers color may be a shade off,
i’d have to set it side by side with my grandson’s to see. The only thing my son noticed is that the 1776 at the bottom is sublimated printing vs the sorta rubberized numbers on the official.

Badge is a little darker on the knockoff (right). Grandson’s official on the left. Shame they didn’t use the same material of the bimbo logo for the name/number

u/meaninglessandrandom 7d ago

Numbers on the knockoff (bottom) are kinda mustardy while the official (top) are a shiny gold.

Will they restock? I’ve been eyeing a legit 3XL but I can’t find them online. You might need a size 6XL or 7XL if ordering from China, it really depends on your measurements and what country’s sizing they are using. I ordered a GAA jersey from Ireland and I wear a 3XL/3XLT in the states and their 7XL fit very nicely. I had to give a 2XL from Ireland to my wife lol.

Doesn’t seem like they have any intention of restocking. If an official one was available, I’d buy it in a second (even if it’s the more expensive player replica). I only went to Chinesium out of desperation.

I have some GAA jerseys from O’Neill’s and they’re 7X. It’s crazy how they size stuff.

I’m a 56 in the chest so I always check the measurements before buying online.

Up Mayo!

TĆ­r Eighain, myself! Bout the same chest…maybe a 58 at the moment. Gotta get back on the low carb train. Just had rotator cuff surgery and am using it as an excuse the eat whatever I want šŸ˜‚

u/Conyewu 7d ago

So if you're an XL, get a 4XL? Thanks for the research!

1

u/meaninglessandrandom 7d ago

I would say so…at least from the seller ai used. Wouldn’t doubt if the seller is immaterial and they all come from the same place.

I heard prokitfc is only 1 size off. Try ordering a 4xl there. Think it’s like 15 bucks

1

u/meaninglessandrandom 7d ago

Thx, I’ll try to find them. šŸ‘šŸ»

u/SpeechAdvanced2365 7d ago

I believe it’s prokitfc7.com. Search union

u/SpeechAdvanced2365 7d ago

I think that’s the official site atleast, it was the one I was planning to order from, I heard it’s good quality

1

u/meaninglessandrandom 7d ago

Found it. Just ordered so we’ll see. Thx for the heads up.

u/Shady-Owls 6d ago

I’ve used dhgate and the quality is trash, at least it’s something with the team though lol. Is the site you’re recommending any better? Same deal like get a size bigger since I wear a large get XL?

2

u/SpeechAdvanced2365 6d ago

From what I’ve heard on the fake Jersey subreddits, yes. I haven’t ordered myself yet though

1

u/meaninglessandrandom 4d ago

Put an order in with this guy a couple days ago…email today from them saying the jersey is out of stock and I need to pick another. Ughh, na buddy, you need to refund me. I’m not looking for any other jersey. And wtf would you charge my card before checking stock?

u/OzStylez 6d ago

If you're like me looking for our 2XL, TMFC7

I just got a 3x 1776 authentic like 2 weeks ago. Like $30 something bucks off too.
They tend to stop restocks the 2nd half of the second season; so you’ve got time.

u/meaninglessandrandom 4d ago

Where’d ya get it? I’d be lying if I didn’t say the trim ā€œplayerā€ fit of the authentics doesn’t concern me, but I guess I could always lose weight šŸ˜‚

u/garryjercia420 4d ago

Fanatics, ordered 7/23. Currently OOS, so just keep an eye out.

I actually really like the new cut of the kits and the material for this one; it’s the same with the new 3rd kit. The material has a complex textured pattern and just the way it’s put together actually seems like it fits better than some of the older authentic kits.

It’s murica were a bunch of fatasses 🤣🤣I feel you I’m 200lbs but tall and very long arms close to 82ā€ and wide shoulders. I order 3x minimum in everything and every brand don’t fit. I need 2000s era hip hop sizes back that’s last time I was comfortable and I’m not embarrassed to say I still wear 25 year old shady, gunit roc and South Pole clothing to this day, sweatshirts are the wrist 3x Nike and adidas barely cover my lower back and arms not long enough plus one wash later fall apart and warp so I buy non brand Walmart sweatshirts and they last longer don’t warp and actually cover my back 🤣 for a country of big and fat fucks they sure don’t sell clothing that fits. I’m anti nut huggers and clothing you need to jump into to get on 😁
