Over the years, the nearby Goodwill outlet has produced a few GU finds for me. Today, though, it produced a bit of new information for me in regards to Lebron James Cavs jerseys.

No, I didn't find a King James gamer. However, I did find a nicely made retail jersey patterned after the Adidas shirts that the Cavs wore when they won their first and only NBA Championship. As I looked at the Cavs jersey, I did a double take after I saw something that was part of the tagging in the tail.

I was surprised to see that, just like the Cavs attire of the area made for the team, this retail jersey also featured the bar-shaped patch in the tail with the "All for One, One for All" motto.



This photo is taken from an eBay listing for a retail jersey, but is the same as the one I saw at Goodwill.







This one is from a Lebron gamer up for bids in the current Goldin Elite Auction.

Not a whole lot of difference, is there?

Now, most of us could tell a retail Lebron jersey from a GU one based on differences in the jerseys themselves. My concern is if any of these "All for One" tags might end up being added to high quality Lebron shirts to try and "create" a gamer after being removed from a retail version.

Just some
food for thought.
