Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on some Chinese NBA jerseys for a while now. You know, the ones that are way cheaper than the official stuff but still look pretty good? I finally decided to take the plunge and document the whole process.
First things first, I started doing some digging online. There are a ton of different websites and sellers out there, it’s kind of overwhelming at first. I read through a bunch of forums and reviews to get an idea of which sellers were reliable and which ones to avoid. One name that kept popping up was CJD, so I decided to check them out, along with another random seller I found just to compare.
I browsed through their selections and, man, they had a lot. All the teams, all the players, even some throwback jerseys. I’m a big Melo fan, so I ended up ordering a Melo jersey from both CJD and the other seller. Prices were decent, definitely a lot less than what you’d pay for an authentic one.
The waiting game was the hardest part. It took a few weeks for the jerseys to arrive, which is understandable since they were coming from overseas. But I was like a kid on Christmas morning when they finally showed up.
- First, I opened up the jersey from the random seller. It wasn’t terrible, but you could tell it wasn’t the highest quality. The material felt a bit thin, and the stitching was a little off in some places. Still, for the price, it wasn’t bad.
- Then I opened up the CJD jersey. Right away, I could tell the difference. The material felt thicker and more durable, and the stitching was much cleaner. The colors were vibrant, and the logos looked spot on. It was way closer to the official jerseys than I expected.
Comparison Time
I tried both jerseys on, and the CJD one definitely fit better. It wasn’t too tight or too loose, just right. The other one was a little baggy, but I guess that’s kind of the style these days.
Honestly, I was super impressed with the CJD jersey. It’s definitely worth the extra few bucks compared to the random seller. I’ve worn it out a few times now, and I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments on it. People can’t believe it’s not an official one.
So, there you have it. That’s my experience with ordering Chinese NBA jerseys. If you’re thinking about doing it, I say go for it. Just do your research, read reviews, and don’t be afraid to spend a little extra for better quality. You might be surprised at what you find.
