NFL team uniforms is skyrocketing

The Broncos are on a tear this season, and consumer interest in official NFL team uniforms is skyrocketing.

A CBS4 investigation has found that it’s easy to bypass the team store at Sports Authority Field at Mile High and get a much cheaper uniform at a flea market, a street corner or online, but buyers should know just what they’re getting.

Officially licensed NFL uniforms run between $100 and $300 at authorized outlets. At a flea market in the Denver area an undercover CBS4 crew recently was able to pay $70 for two of what looked to be official uniforms from a vendor. Then CBS4 was able to bargain a different flea market seller down to $30 on another uniforms.

The uniforms had the NFL logo on them, said they were manufactured by Nike, plus they had the hologram and tag that can be found on uniforms for sale at official team stores. They looked sharp.

CBS4 took them to a trained eye — Alan Fey, who oversees merchandising for the Broncos team store.

“My first impression is it does not look real, the colors are different,” Fey said. “The blocking doesn’t look right. … With this one, the coloring is off on the NFL shield.”
