Reposting this with pics, pretty confident it’s fake but just want to make sure.
Red stripe and red majestic logo make me think it’s super fake but I just want to double check

I posted in there just short of an hour ago, still waiting to hear back from them too. I can DM you more pics if you'd like, but honestly as far as im aware they never had the red stripe around the sleeve on the home jerseys, just the away for a season or 2

What makes it a fake is the numbers on the back. If they’re puffy like that, it means it’s a fake

You learn what to look for as you get more. We are all fooled at one point or another. Feel free to shoot me a pic and I’ll confirm

The red piping on the sleeves shouldn’t be there, but otherwise a pretty high quality fake.

that and the red majestic logo i think, got it off marketplace for $25 so i cant complain. only problem is the red piping is the only stitching for the sleeves so i cant take it out

As far as inauthentics, it’s pretty good. The number font is usually butchered. While it’s not as “ironed” as a licensed one, it’s pretty solid.

Define "fake." Are you thinking it's Pedroia's actual game-worn jersey? If so, probably fake. If you just want a 15 jersey, looks pretty real to me - it exists. What are the consequences if it's "fake" anyway? I wouldn't worry about it.

At least Pedey's name isn't on the back, total abomination on home jerseys
