Know your price point. Most authentic Reebok NFL jerseys cost between $80 and $250. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Examine the stitching on the jersey closely. If the stitching is uneven or the thread is loose, the item is probably a replica. Turn the jersey inside out and look at the stitching inside. It should also be clean and precise.

Look at the label. All words should be spelled correctly and with correct grammar. If the words are misspelled, the jersey is not an authentic Reebok jersey. In addition, if the label says "Made in China," the jersey is not an authentic Reebok.

Hold the jersey up and look at the lettering and team logo. All words and symbols should be spaced evenly on the jersey and look crisp and clean. If the lettering is blurred or things appear to be off-centered, the jersey is probably not authentic.

Examine the jersey holes on the item. Authentic jerseys will have small, evenly spaced holes. Replica jerseys will have larger holes that appear to be slightly uneven.
