I kind of enjoy these imitation USA soccer jerseys.

Does anybody know of other websites that are selling unofficial USMNT jerseys?

eBay is usually a good bet for some pretty terrible fake jerseys.

I saw one (on TV) at the Mexico game last month. If you take the time and effort as a fan to buy tickets to that game, sit in the supporters section and rock that jersey, you have some serious problems....:confused:

I was on a flight back from Germany a few years ago, and the father and son sitting behind me spent a good 45 minutes-hour talking about how they couldn't believe the great prices they got on jerseys for the son, how these things were a steal compared to Eurosport, etc.
Later in the flight, as I was walking back to my seat from the restroom, I had to wait for a drink cart to keep moving, and i noticed that the son (who was probably about 12-15) had several of the jerseys out of his backback and was admiring them.
They weren't as outrageous as the ones at the top of this thread, but they were quite definitely the fakes that are sold for about 10-15 Euros at every souvenir cart in Europe. Based on their enthusiasm, and the fact that they were comparing them to Eurosport, I think they actually thought they were comparing apples to apples (or at least the kid did, and the father wasn't going to say anything, since he saved a lot of money comparatively).
So I kept my mouth shut, but I feel sorry for that kid, who probably wore each of them once before they fell apart in the wash.

A few years ago I bought a Man U jersey in Curacau while on vacation....for $3! And you know what, it looks good, and still holds up quite nicely!

I got my FC Dallas jersey at the mercado in Antigua, Guatemala. Approx. $10. It looks awful and fake, but you can't tell that amongst the sea of other Waldo jerseys. And by "sea," I mean the other two or three guys in the stands.

I am sure that the father was grinning like a used car salesman.

Well, the dad had black socks with sandals on, as well as a leather fanny pack. So he might actually have been oblivious enough to think they were legit.

Holy shite that is hilarious. You gotta definitely feel sorry for kid. Hoodwinked on the gear and his dad is goofy.
