Over the years I have let my collection of Packer gear run out.

Does anyone know a good place around the Milwaukee area to go grab a Packers t-shirt and hoodie?

Green and Gold Zone has a lot of stuff. It's a weird place. Also inside that store is Napoleon's Tailor, clothes for short people lol. But Target, Kohl's, Walmart, etc... all have Packer gear.

I don't own any. Lately I've been thinking I need something but I'm superstitious about sports and I think if I start wearing some of their gear they'll lose. Best to wait until the season is over for me.

I got endlessly ripped on during the last game by my friends for wearing a black shirt instead of Packer gear.

Need to get my Packer rep back up.

I wear my Matthews jersey.

This for me too. I have no idea why I don't have anything, but at this point I don't want to mess anything up.

I tried my damnedest before the playoffs started to find a Finley jersey, and failed. I took it as an omen.

EDIT: Actually, for some reason, the only sports gear I own is Badger (which I have a ton of) and Brewers stuff.

I realized I didn't have any Packers gear after last season. So in the offseason I bought 5 (Rodgers, Woodson, Jennings, Finley, Matthews) authentic (Chinese knockoff) jerseys. I also got the sideline camo hoody for Christmas.

I lol'd.

Luke, let me know if you want a jersey. I want to get one or two and I know a guy who get's authentics and will give me 3 for $99.

I got a tee with the old school logo on it before the playoffs and ive worn it every game so far, but this week i have to work for the first half and i'm really worried about breaking the streak.

Let me know if you need someone to go in on that, I could use a jersey. I went out for a Matthews jersey last week and ended up getting a Woodson T-shirt because I wasn't prepared to drop $80+ on one.

Yeah man, I'll definitely do that.

I wanted to get a #38 one that says 'Tramon' instead of 'Williams'.

We can discuss the details tomorrow when we are dominancing people at basketball.

Just as an FYI to everyone...

If you signup for the newsletter at NFLShop.com (which you can cancel immediately), you'll get a coupon for 15% off your first order. It's the entire order, too. Now granted, their jerseys aren't on sale like replicas might be in stores, but it turns an $80 jersey into $68. Not bad. Free shipping on orders over $75, and there's no sales tax for Wisconsin.

Granted, a $33 authentic is a much better deal. Wow.

I'm sure the authentics I get are knock offs, that being said, they are really legit looking with all the correct material and NFL equipment patches, etc.

The only time Ive bought a knock off that actually turned out to be real was when I bought a Favre 75th Anny jersey. Blue and gold. So sick.

Can he do the custom one? Or are they all premade.

Custom I want 38 that says 'Tramon'. If he only has premade ones, then I'll settle for Charles Woodson.

The true authentics are around $175. Reebok also makes the "Premiere" jerseys that sell for about $100. Very very similar to authentics, sewn on numbers, name, etc... Packer pro shop doesn't sell those but many others do, The Jersey Store in GB does for example. That's where I got my Matthews jersey. Then there are the replicas that run $75, silk screened everything. The chinese jerseys aren't bad knockoffs.

The Chinese knockoffs I got are all legit looking. If you look real hard you might find some defects but they look legit and have all of the NFL and Reebok logos. I got them for like $22 a piece so it was worth it to me. I would rather have some cheap knock off that looks good than spend $100+ on a real authentic.

Most of the knock offs Ive seen have a slightly different thicker number plate. Pics in a second.

Edit: Now with pics.

Real:

Knock off:

You can see the lettering and numbers are wider/thicker/whatever term you want to use.

That's weird, if you are going to go through the trouble of doing a knock off it wouldn't be that hard to get the size of the numbers correct. Damn chinese.
