Cheap,, unlicensed knock-offs made in a Chinese sweatshop. I'd rather spend the extra bucks for the real thing.

I have a couple of the knock offs and a couple of Official jerseys, the differences are so small that i really prefer to buy the knock offs. If you spill your beer on a knock off it is not as big of a deal.....lol

MAJOR LEAGUE SWEATSHOP IN CHINA
Licensed goods for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, and the NCAA, are being made in China by workers who are forced to toil 18 to 20.5 hours a day, 7 days a week, with just 15 days off a year. The average wage is 16.5 cents an hour. Workers have zero rights and are fired for even asking that their wages be paid on time.
Workers live at the factory in dorm rooms sometimes sharing a room with as many as 19 other workers. For this privilege, the workers pay the factory owner, on the average, $15 (US) per month.

Everyone wants cheap goods, but they don't want to know what the workers in these sweatshops endure to produce these cheap products.
"cheap foreign labor" costs US and Canadian workers their jobs. I guess no one cares as long as it's not their job that is impacted.
