Spotting fake Brady Quinn jerseys.

There seems to be a rash of football jerseys imported from Korea and China that are NOT authentic jerseys made by Reebok. The most noticeable is the orange jersey of Browns rookie quarterback Brady Quinn.

The 2 color numbering is an offset drop shadow style. The effect is that the background color is offset to the right and down from the foreground color number. See the picture of a correctly sewn number "Ten".


The jerseys to look out for (and avoid) have the shadow in the wrong places on the "Zero".



The Brown, as well as the white, Brady Quinn jerseys have only 1 color lettering/numbering so it is not as apparent that it's not authentic. So, look at the other listings by that seller to compare the orange jersey with these 2 pictures.

Many people are not aware of the fact that there are 2 and 3 colors used in the lettering and numbering of most professional teams because they don't show up easily on television screens. Take a closer look at photos from Sports Illustrated, either in the magazine or on their website, to see closeups of the backs of jerseys.
