Got a question.  What are the differences between the 09 replica and authentic jerseys?  I remember someone said something about how the sizes are different and the fabric is cheaper quality, and some small differences in the design.  I just want to know whats so different between them besides the price tag.

authentics usually have the star above the badge. although I bought a cheap fake one off ebay and it had it. You'll know if it's authentic from the material/stitching/star

The authentics are more form-fitting and breathe better than the replicas.

Also the authentic will have the American flag on the sleeve, the away authentic will have the 4 stars on the side, and the home authentic will have the white lines down the sides.

...for 2010. The question is about the 2009 jerseys.

The 09 Authentics will still have the American flag on the sleeve, whereas the replicas don't, though.

there is a large selection of things of this nature at chicago soccer, and it is all half off.

They also have a brick and mortar store on the north side, but that's kind of a ways from where you are.

I interned in the FO for a little while and trust me they are so dumb had they payed off the refs they probably would have presented them one of those huge checks during halftime on the field.

I think he's referring to MLSgear.com's clearance on all 2009 kits and their two for one deal (I got two replica kits today for $35)

Authentics run about 1 size smaller than the replica, if you wear a large, get an XL Authentic. Also there are "air vents" that are on the authentics, located on the sides. theses are not "real" on the replicas.
