Beware of what the pirates are making now, Chinese jerseys with MADE IN BERLIN WI tags.

see ebay 110145579058

Didn't need Columbo to figure out a guy can't wear six jerseys in one game.

"Authentic_station_cn" is one of the most prolific sellers of fake Reebok authentics on ebay and it appears they've stepped it up a notch and begun producing fake game jerseys starting with the '07 Pro Bowl stuff.
These have the extra 4" length and have corresponding length and size flag tags. PLUS they have managed to bootleg the blank Reebok jock tag only found on gamers and also the Berlin care tag. They've also excluded the usual Reebok neck tagging found on authentics and not on gamers. They're getting sneeky, and at first glance these could be mistaken for gamers, however a couple of details give these away as fakes. First, the jock tag is placed too high of of the bottom hem. Secondly, the "star pattern" on the chest mesh is slightly different from the real thing. Thirdly, there's no diminishing taper to the jersey's length cut which is characteristic of most modern-day gamers. Fourth, the team logo patches on the upper right chest usually have the wrong font. And lastly, like saintsfan says, a guy couldn't have worn a dozen jerseys in a game, much less several different sizes. Heck, the seller has several sizes listed for sale of Brian Urlacher's game jersey and Brian didn't even play in the game!
