Best Answer

Authentic jerseys are made exactly like the ones the players wear, including sewn on numbers and names on the back (where applicable). Authentic jerseys are sold in numeric sizes.

Replicas are made of lower quality material and often feature numbers and names that are ironed on or silkscreened. Replicas are sold in small/medium/large/etc sizes instead of specific numbers.

Some other differences:

Authentics have longer shirt tails and are cut slightly thinner (the equivalent of an athletic cut). Replicas are a fuller cut with shorter shirt tails, since fans usually don't wear their jerseys tucked in.

Authentics have the Majestic M logo embroidered on the left sleeve. The replica I have has the full Majestic logo (M and the word Majestic below) ironed on to the right sleeve.

Authentics have an MLB logo on the back of the collar. Replicas do not.

Authentics have no size tag on the inside collar. The size is on the Authentic tag sewn on the lower left of the front shirttail. Replicas have the size on the inside collar, and there's a tag on the lower left of the front shirttail that says "replica."

Generally, replicas are just fine for the average fan.

Most people tend to get confused over Authentic Jersey = Genuine and Replica Jersey = Fakes. Not true.

Authentic jerseys are the identical article (material, cut and fitting) which most soccer player prefers. As they have a better body fit and higher quality material which keeps them cooler. (You won't want your sweat to hinder you during your crucial play)

Replica jerseys are the replicas of the authentic jersey, this is where you see most soccer fans wear. They have a larger cut for comfort wear.

Materials for both cuts might differ a little (depending on manufacturer). Color and design might sometimes differs a little (again depending on manufacturer).

The other significant difference is the price tag. Authentic cut jerseys are priced higher (around the region of mid one hundred in retail - US Dollars) and Replica cut jerseys are priced around mid seventies in retail - US Dollars).

The reasons for having two version of the same jersey are:

1. Authentic is tailored for athletes, which demand highest grade of comfort during play

2. Replica is tailored for fans, which demand the cheapest yet what their favorite team/player is wearing

Most soccer fans would hunt for bargain/on sale replica jerseys online. But be careful when asking an online seller your question. Since the answer above should steer you clear from buying the "wrong" jersey.
