What is the Difference Between EQT Jerseys and Authentic?

What does EQT even mean? Is it a replica jersey or a jersey that is a cheap authentic jersey? I am trying to decide on what to buy.

It explains it but i am still confused because the image looks like an authentic Jersey.

It looks like the same as the authentic jersey to me.

Would it be the same as the replica just made with better material???

Help would be appreciated!

From what I saw I would go with the EQT jersey if you are going to buy it off of the site. It is basically the same as the Authentic just not as heavy duty, the Authentic is what the pros wear so it it made more durable for getting tackled etc. While the EQT still has all the Name, Number etc sown on and looks pretty much the same and is more than a half of the price. I got a EQT Peterson jersey for christmas and it just perfect, I also have a Hines Ward one and they are real nice jerseys.

mmm

The Biggest difference would be the name and numbers
are stitched on the jersey. Authentic jerseys are the real
deal or someone is not being honest with you.

a replica is a reprint of the jersey could have a lower
quality print of the numbers and name on back.
IMO

hope that helps you

Most of mine are replicas and they last longer if wash them
in cool water and turn them inside out. I bought an authentic
AD jersey for about 60 if I remember right.

I have a AD and Randy Moss authentic, and then a Kevin Garnett "replithentic" as they call it. The Moss and Peterson ones have everything sewn on and are made of high-quality materials, the KG one has everything sewn on, but the quality of the sewing and the fabrics are not as high. They are almost papery.

That seems to be the biggest difference.

I am not sure but it shows the signs of a real jersey
from what I can see of it. Its a heavier fabric with sewn
patches.
