I don't know.  It looks pretty real to me.   

Also I am pretty sure that adidas logo on the top is usually there.

Even if it is an Adidas Swingman thats a steal for $39.99.  My KG Swingman jersey was like 80 bucks.

my advice is that if you want something thats 100% authentic then you should buy it straight from the dealer.  if you want something that nice then you should be prepared to pay an 'authentic' price.

during the 2002 playoffs i bought a pierce bobblehead off ebay at the beginning of the detriot series.  right after our epic 4th quarter comeback against the nets i realized i had gotten shafted out of 20 bucks and wasnt going to recieve my bobblehead.  the series went right down the crapper after this.  i still blame us getting eliminated in the playoffs that year on that [dang] bobblehead.

General rule of thumb when it comes to jerseys on ebay is if it's on ebay it ain't real. Just my opinion, there are so many fake jerseys up there.

It's not authentic.  As others have mentioned, its an Adidas Swingman jersey.  The numbers and names are sewn on but its not an authentic game jersey.  There's a difference.

$39.99 is a great price for a Swingman jersey, though.  I'm pretty sure those things retail in the $60s or $70s now (possibly more).

An authentic will run you anywhere from the high $100s to the $200s depending on the retailer.
