I ordered one when whey went up and it just came today and I'm pretty disappointed. I got the $150 one, not the low end one but it feels like a cheap one anyway. There's no mesh on the entire thing.. it's like a giant nylon t shirt with numbers stitched on. There's also this weird white mesh type "guard" over where the "V" of the collar meets in front where the NFL shield should be but it is underneath that instead. There's nothing like that on the one Beckham modeled a few weeks ago. Why they'd add something like that for no reason is beyond me, but anyway.. moving on...
There's also this weird stitching pattern on the back of the jersey where three seams randomly come together right in the middle of it.. why? I have no idea.
And for whatever reason, the arm bands are not the same material as the neck.. they're not stretchy at all and are the same nylon type material the jersey is made out of.
I know it's not "authentic" but you'd expect the mid-tier Nike model to be closer to that than the low end model. Yeah the name and number are stitched on but overall Nike did a pretty bad job on this, IMO.
This is the youth version though
This is the Men's version.. you can kind of see what I'm talking about on the back and you can see the neck thing too. It's not a huge deal I just don't understand why it's there. What purpose does it serve?

Are you sure this isn't the female one? It's tapered at the waist like the female jerseys they sell.

The youth version actually looks a little closer to the actual one.. it doesn't have the weird white shield thing where the neck meets in front or the unusual seams on the back..

It is, actually.. I realized that after. But in this instance it doesn't matter.. the cut is the only difference. The features are exactly the same otherwise. Mine is a Men's but it has the same neck thing and same weird peace sign seams on the back.
