Ordered a Ja’marr Chase jersey via DHGate the night the Bengals broke their playoff drought, along with an official store Burrow jersey.
The official was $120 + tax (I had free shipping as I ordered a few other things). The DHGate is obviously a Chinese knock off, it was $21 + $10 in shipping. The official arrived in 6 days, and the DHGate arrived today, a little under 5 weeks after ordering.
There’s some obvious differences, like the Team name being smaller on the Chinese knock off, as well as the knock off being stitched where the official store’s jersey is not. But honestly, I kinda like the one from China better, and being roughly $100 cheaper, I don’t think I’ll ever opt for the real deal over this again. The stitching is a nice add, and the material seems softer and more comfortable. Probably going to snag a white one from there next season as well.

Just wanted to give folks detail in case anyone is looking for a jersey and on the fence about a “real” one vs the lower cost options.
