Whats the verdict ?

Fake! As bad as I have seen. Also, you would think that the seller could have at least spelled Ripken's last name correctly. Stay far away from this one.

why would you say it is fake, you say it is fake but give no proof or point out aspects of the jersey....


i am not saying it is real or not but posts like yours is why the forum gets a bad rap sometimes

The pictures make it hard to tell and one would think if you have a "RIPKIN" LOL jersey you would show full pictures and detail. Thanks

The photos are pretty bad, but here's what I can make out from them:
1) Nameplate is too small, and letters look too big
2) Letters and numbers are apparently 3-color (orange/black/white) which looks really cool (I feel that's what the Orioles should be doing), but isn't something they've done, other than on the 1995-1999 alternate jerseys.

Verdict? Bogus, but if it stays cheap, I'd likely buy it just to wear around. I always get a kick out of fake jerseys where too much effort was invested on the sewing, and not enough on the research! :D
