Can you trust JO Sports?

The top half of the section between the "8" and the "3" doesn't look at all like a match. The dirt stains look completely different to me.

That's what I was thinking, plus the amount of green sticking down from the top of the 3. Plus the big stain going down the bottom, though this could be from getting tackled on his last touch. I will have to watch a replay of the game.

No matter when the picture was, the jersey is cleaner in that area than the picture. Shouldn't the end result be the jersey is dirtier??

To the right of the three, around the shoulder, it looks perfect to me, as well. It's just the middle I don't like.

My times have changed when it comes to scrutiny of JO Sports. I remember faulting them for blatant things and everybody and droves of collectors would come to their defense.

Personally, something is probably of less interest to me if it was ever owned or distributed by JO Sports. Even if its totally legit. JO Sports having ever handled a jersey just kind of makes me enjoy looking at it less.

Having said that, the scrutiny here of this particular jersey would seem to have greater relevance if the photo being compared to was in high resolution. The difference between seeing an image as shown here in contrast to a high resolution version is dramatic. Cameras and lighting show things in unique ways and its easier to have reasonable confidence in what you think you are seeing if you are looking at it in high resolution.

I'll purchase the "bad" Chicago Bears jersey authenticated by JO & with the Bears letter without thinking twice. I know about the past but the team items that came from the team are OK in my book.

I just pulled the video towards the end of the game.....IMO....The back of the jersey is a perfect match.....Also seems like a pretty good price? The downside is that there are just way too many VJ Charger Jerseys out there.

Well I am pretty convinced by this shoulder shot, however I still don't see/understand where the grass stain at the bottom of the jersey, or the bit sticking down from the top middle of the 3 comes from...

if you look at the pic you can kind of see the green stain there but it looks bunched.

The only things I'm unsure of at this point are on the back. The big stain down the bottom right, and the grass marking at the top of the 3. I have heard of JO "creating" their own stains/markings hence why I'm asking about this one.
