    what is the difference between a "official" jersey and the "replica" jersey. the replica is much cheaper but its not a T-shirt (100% polyster) and can be customized. whats the difference? does anybody have any pics of the "replica"?

    the auth. has the under jersey, built in so it's to layers, and the 3 stars and is the one worn on the field, i have the german auth . one for the DFB, and i always wear my replica it's much more comfortable to wear for fans, not to mention cheaper. my custimized german one cost me $150 , my replica cost me total of $100. With out the name on the back the auth. cost $85-$100, replica $60-$65. the only way to get a auth. DCU jersey is by auction, or mug a player.

    try http://www.dfb-fan-corner.de/shop/ and you can really see what an adidas auth. , and replica jersey look like, sorry it's only an exsample, go www.dcunitedstore.com, and look, only when you get it it doesn't have the stars.

    oh yeah, the one in the dc shop is a replica, in has the mesh panels on the side covered by an under jersey but thats it so it's only one layer, thats the difference.
