[@colavalley6691]

It really doesn’t matter man. Don’t sweat it. I collected fake jerseys for a long time and I really never wore them I just kept it all to myself. But don’t sweat it man. It’s all good. It still looks greya

DAMNNN LEO THEY PLAYED YOU GANG LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣YOU KNOW AS THEY SAY FAKE IT TO YA MAKE IT LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christiandunham]

Thanks for sharing!! Informative and good things to look out for. Can you please consider doing a video on how to spot real vs fake jerseys from older Nike era, adidas, rev 30 etc in the future? Thanks!

[@KingLeonidas23]

I def can

[@SneakPick2345]

You made me check mine. Authentic. Relieved. Thanks!!

[@FormerlyNYVulgarian]

Nice video King! I got duped on that same blue jersey back in 03’. Knew something was off when I noticed the paper stitching interior. Must say tho, those were better fake quality than the bubble number ones of the last decade.

[@lsalas76]

I feel ya bro. I realized I had that same fake MJ Wizards jersey too which I also bought in the early 2000s. I ended up donating it to goodwill last year

[@KingLeonidas23]

Nice at least someone else will enjoy it

[@BayAreaThrowbacks]

Damn, so crazy how good some of these fakes are. Just shows any of us can get got at one point or another. Great video bro!

Man I’ve been looking for an authentic Wizards in a 40 for years. Dope channel

[@GoatClipsX]

I like the jersey so much!! Where can you buy them nowadays

[@propspounds5511]

Sorry that happened to you bro thanks to your review I had to double check mine all good love your channel and keep up the good work!

[@KingLeonidas23]

No worries. I do this for the people !

[@Touch_G35]

First/quickest test for me is checking the inside. Then, I go from there…

[@Tacorea]

I bought a authentic Monta Ellis from Dub shot at Oracle years back and when compared to the ones he’s wearing during game, certain parts of the jerseys are little different. But still authentic from the shop

[@jakez199456]

Yeah there have been times I've been bamboozled as well. It happens man.

[@Nobrakes504]

I own like 10 fake jerseys I knowingly bought them its for me so I'm cool with it

[@jaylonjones3811]

Facts everytime I go to the falcons game I get me a 50 jersey out the parking lot

[@rayso8466]

I don't think this is fake jersey . Two jersey Jog Tag is different . 'Authentic' right in front of the nba logo was old jog tag from around 2000-2002.And they had the production year on the inside tag. The 'fake' jersey's jog tag was from around 2003-2004.They had no production date.I had the nike version gilbert arenas wizards jersey from retail.It's like your 'fake' jersey.You can go to ebay search some nike wizards jersey(not the old jog tag) .You will see it.

[@telesophy]

Yea I agree. It's not fake. The letters connecting vary from year to year. I've seen that on Baseball Jerseys

[@telesophy]

And also, the Nike ones have all the letters connected

[@tripleshock22]

Yup, its connected

[@sportmathews]

Can you do a new authentic Mitchell and ness compared to and vintage authentic Mitchell and ness nba jerseys?

[@beast1160]

It’s the material, the nba authentic logo changed 2002-03 season.

[@jairsmartypants]

Good info 👍

[@imthebest7290]

I remember the fakes back in the day had shiny numbers

[@dafatboy2]

Prices are definitely up on eBay

[@julionpa]

hello Leonidas. I bought this authentic wizards on ebay in the 52 and it was too big. The shape of this 52 is xxl while the current nike 52 are xl. I used your video to check if mine was original. Thanks for the video.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Good video. None of my authentics have the paper backing of the name or numbers.

[@swissbeats2k]

People sometimes exchange fakes at the NBA store, so that's probably what happened to you. I've seen fakes a Moddells near Time Square.

[@KingLeonidas23]

Mannn that’s crazy

[@Dond87]

Is there away I can send you a photo I have the og white 9 11 and it don’t have a production date but everything is on point just wandering now. Just found out my blue one is the same Fake one you had lol. But the white 9 11 is just like yours but no date

@ King Leonidas, How did you spotted the Fake on the Jersey ❓ What made you check it out

[@KingLeonidas23]

One day I just looked at the stitching a little more, a few months ago, and something seemed off

I just returned a fake Jordan Wizards jersey, there’s many of them out there.

Yeah bro it’s crazy

[@tegrity]

You think you could help me determine if my jersey is fake?

[@KingLeonidas23]

Sure

[@mroneill1122]

Damn homie ….. it happens to the best of us 😅

[@lebronshoecollector2556]

Damn that's to bad. That's like what happened to me with a retro Miami lebron jersey I've had forever.

I appreciate that David. Thanks !

What is causing the material to yellow on the fake?

[@KingLeonidas23]

No clue

So are you going to keep the fake? That's one of the better fakes I have seen.

[@Gol_D_Looks]

Almost 20yrs who said fake jerseys won't last long?. It's alright if they're fake bro it's not like they have the same value as your shoes. Sneakers are more popular than Jerseys👌

[@brwest7518]

Are all old nike authentics made in El Salvador ? (Neck tag)

[@KingLeonidas23]

Yea

[@brwest7518]

Have seen some made in usa ?

[@GoatClipsX]

You can see it’s fake because of the basketball logo on the W

[@FlorianFiernow]

Only can say of my personal knowledge about jersey, the NBA Logo on the front is legit in any case, and the jog tag on the front is of the 2003 Season Generation, its legit I linked a Jordan Game Worn Auction Jersey it s ot the same tag. This was estabilshed very later. so I think the template clean jersey is a real material used one, but all other stuff, lettering, tags, was created from different other jerseys . But if you looked at the blue itself, the game worn jersey you find in the net, are much darker blue as all of your jerseys. I do not found any jersey online from jordan as a game worn one in thsi coloring. Ant if you look at game used nike jerseys 2000-2003 you can see to, that the made in USA ones all got different Mesh Holes then the Salvador Ones for the market. These are simple thin holes and the game used jerseys got another forming.

[@FlorianFiernow]

Seems not be be simple!

[@daatmvp3677]

I have an authentic wizards I bought from the Orlando NBA store in person back in 2003 and the stitching is like your “fake”.

[@KingLeonidas23]

Really!?

[@daatmvp3677]

Yessir, I got it for my 15th birthday. Nba Store that used to be at city walk in Orlando. I really think that it was an 03 version. This was the day the kings and lakers played game 7. Watched the game there then got the jersey.

[@MASTAdondaMASTADON]

Jordan wont authorize the wizards jerseys its like he knows he messed up unretiring and leaving the bulls

[@powerline528]

Abe Pollin Wizards owner backed out of the original deal they had. MJ was supposed go back to being team president after he retired. Instead he was fired weeks later. That’s why he doesn’t acknowledge the Wizards. Air Jordans became more popular after his final retirement. That’s why he came back. It was to push sneakers.

[@MASTAdondaMASTADON]

@@powerline528 thanks for this bit of info makes more sense now

[@vincenth.8793]

Not saying it couldn't be a fake, but it could be just an "imperfect" from the company. Please don't elevate NIKE that still wouldn't put out a product just to make it's money back.

Is it just me or you're looking healthier and leaner ?
