Beckham Galaxy jersey

Looking for a David Beckham Galaxy jersey? Be careful where you shop and be sure you're buying from a reputable seller. Bogus Beckham Galaxy jerseys are pouring into the States. While some may be more convincing replicas than others, many of these shirts are of dubious quality. There are international economic factors in play. The list price for an official Adidas Beckham Galaxy Jersey is $80 ... that's $15 higher than the cost of an LA Galaxy shirt without Becks' name and number. That $25 bargain shirt might not turn out to be a bargain.

The Adidas website has a nice zoom feature that lets you check out the detail of the official Beckham Galaxy jersey. Use this feature to compare the official shirt to any replicas you might be considering.

Appearances can be deceiving. A replica Galaxy jersey that looks good on eBay (complete with what appears to be the official tags) may not stand up to close scrutiny. It's not just the colors, badges, logos, lettering, and stitching. The fabric itself is likely to be quite different. A cheap knockoff will not use Adidas' "ventilated ClimaCool" fabric. If the person wearing the jersey plans to run around (or actually play soccer!) in the knockoff, they will be able to tell the difference. Cheap fabrics do not breathe in the same fashion.
