I can completely understand the argument from people that price is a motivating factor on whether or not to purchase a counterfeit versus a authentic/replica jersey.
That being said, I echo the sediments above and feel that people end up in two categories:
A. The people crying poor me about the price are usually the ones spending $150-200 a game on tickets, food, alcohol, etc... The best is when I hear this from people that own season ticket packages.
B. The people who said they look just like the real thing and you can't the difference. Really? It would be interesting to see if you put both jerseys side by side and said you could have one for $50 which one they would choose.
I do find it funny that counterfeit jerseys are OK, but what about if it extended to other things they purchase? Would they care if say their prescriptions were counterfeit?
