DHGate jersey review

Well today is a depressing day for Wisconsin sports fans so here’s something to distract myself and maybe add a tiny glimmer of light to your day.

I ordered several jerseys off of DHGate to gift to family for Xmas, to commemorate our incredible season of course.

Jerseys: Pinstripe Yount XL, pinstripe Turang M, City Connect Contreras, from seller top_500_sports. Each was $28 after shipping. The store lists them as $15 but then it’s $13 shipping for each, so a little advertising dishonesty maybe but still really cheap relative to real ones.

I actually ordered even more but the second package got lost in transit unfortunately, which had a navy Vaughn away and normal white/cream home Uecker, but I had paid an extra dollar for shipping protection so I got refunded almost right away through that company AND was able to submit a dispute and the shipper is gonna send replacements. Not sure if its intended to be able to double stack like that (the shipping insurance you can add is a different platform than the DHGate dispute so they function separately), but it seems to have worked assuming they ship the replacements, so that’s kinda awesome, accidentally got them for free. So customer service A+, I’ll review those once I get them.

I’ll start with the pinstripe home

. It’s really simple; they are FLAWLESS. Like it’s genuinely absurd, I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened them. Colors are perfect, everything is stitched, has the front number and wheat baseball sleeve patch, numbers and letters sized correctly and positioned as perfect as the eye can reasonably see. If you saw or even inspected them you’d just assume they were the $175 Limited official jerseys without thinking twice. Perhaps the ONLY minor thing is the size medium fits like a large. The XL seems to be true to size though. So yeah. Genuinely might be the best $28 I’ve ever spent maybe on anything ever. And you can customize name and number to be whatever you want, there’s an option on the store to “message us name/number” and you do that with what you want, the Yount was a custom. I’m 100% doing a custom with our last name to bring to the extended family white elephant next Christmas, it’ll be a huge hit.

Now for the City Connect. This one has some things that are noticeable. First, the color is a little too dark. Not by much, but you can tell. The sleeve and neck stripes are like little sewn on strips of fabric, not dyed like the real ones are. Can’t really tell just looking at someone wearing it but if you look close you can see it easily. But that’s basically it. All stitched, even the Brew Crew which is a giant two patches. Sizing of letters and numbers looks good, placement is good; some little threads here and there but easy to snip off. This is kinda the quality I was expecting, and don’t get me wrong, I am MORE than happy with it for the price point. I ordered a large but it fits almost the same as an XL official jersey.

For all the jerseys, they didn’t remove the grey iron on paper from the back of the numbers and letters (forgot to snap a pic of this, apologies), so you probably should do that yourself at some point but not a big deal.

So yeah. Overall, more than thrilled with this result. I mean, the pinstripes as I stated a lot are just incredible. It’s not even worth talking about the $135 Replica heat pressed official ones that don’t have a front number or wheatball patch as a comparison. It literally looks like they are straight off the official Limited line, which in China may very well be idk. And the CC, while more obviously a fake, is still great and can be worn proudly, it looks perfectly acceptable.

I’m very curious now how the cream home and navy away turn out. I mean even if they’re like the CC I’ll be happy, but if they’re like the pinstripe in quality my gawd that would be amazing.

The seller is top_500_sports, if you go to DHGate and search that you should see products by them and then you can navigate to their store page. Shipping took a month, which isn’t ideal but not crazy long either.

Happy buying, willing to answer any questions too.
