Buying an authentic jersey: nflshop.com vs. denverbroncosproshop.com

Hey folks, I'm looking to buy my first authentic Broncos jersey (orange 78 Clady FTW). First I went to the shop link from DenverBroncos.com and started my order, but when I got to the page for the orange customizable authentics, the sizes were severely limited (only 46, 54, 56; I need a 50). The price here was $269.99

I then went to nflshop.com and they have the the right size for what I need, but the price is $239.99. Now I'm not one to complain about a lower price, but it seems weird that the prices are different and that the NLF wouldn't mandate that all the teams sell their stuff through a branded version of the main NFLshop site (MLB does this). They are both supposed to be authentic NFL-spec jerseys, so I wonder at the price difference...

So basically I'm just looking to see if anyone has experience buying from one or both of these sources and has any advice to stay away from one or the other. I'm itching to pull the trigger on the NFL shop site, but if the DB shop is going to restock the sizes and there is a legitimate reason to wait around for it, I could do that.

FYI I searched old FanPosts and found this nice post on spotting fake "authentic" jerseys, but nothing on this specific topic.

Thanks for any insight!

Hey, glad you enjoyed my post about fakes!

My advice for you: NFLshop takes a while to ship anything that’s not mass produced. You may be better off calling the Pro Shop at Invesco and having them ship from their store. I ordered my sideline cap from them and received it in Massachusetts in 2 days! Here’s the info for the stadium shop:

The Broncos Store at INVESCO Field at Mile High:
1701 Bryant Street, Suite 300
Denver, CO 80204
Phone: 720-258-3300
Store Hours:
Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday of home games: Open 9 a.m. until 30 minutes after the game.

Hey apple

I bought an Authentic Jersey by Reebok, at the Bronco Store at Training Camp. This is essentially the same store as the one at Invesco. I purchased a Peyton Hillis Jersey for $80.00. It is Authentic, but if you want an “actual Game Worn Jersey,” it will run you that $270. they also make a “Throwback” Jersey. Those run about $175. I bought a Terrell Davis Jersey for $125. on sale.
I hope that, and Calijoe’s article helps you.
