Just out of curiosity, is the Under Armour Merch factory embroidered (or screen printed) or done outside of the factory?

Living in Baltimore, I love Under Armour stuff. Unfortunately, I have ran into some stuff that was embroidered by an outside company and the quality lacked. I also know of a place which Under Armour cut ties with for this reason.

Just making sure everything is kosher before I bid...

this one?

looks legit to me.

Still awaiting a response from both CBID and Under Armour.

Why are you concerned whether it is kosher? You aren't planning on eating it, are you?

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand your issue.

By "embroidered" do you mean "custom embroidered"?? Like putting a sports team's name on them or something?

And if so, are you dissatisfied with the quality of the actual garment or the quality of the embroidery or silk screen?

there are two types of merch... cheap knock off and the real deal... I think this is the cheap knock off

98.2% of CBidders have no business even considering purchasing one.

Bunch a fat bastids!!!

and the other 1.8% are ****.

The volume of counterfeit sports "jerseys" is staggering.

Thing is.......in many cases, the quality is as good if not better than Reebok, CCM, or whomever's jersey has been cloned.

I know someone who ordered a crate of fugazi Steelers jerseys from China and they looked as good as the one I paid massive bucks for some years ago from a B&M.........right down to the tags.

Reebok wants a couple hundred dollars..........the fakes go for $30-60..........I suppose in some ways it is like the fans saying "**** you.......we're not spending $250 on your **** jersey".

It certainly would not surprise me to see the same thing happening with Under Armour. While many athletes use it for its advanced material properties, most people probably wear it because it has become trendy.

Mr. TV -

Under Armour does a very large business 'custom embroidering' their apparel. In fact, they will not sell to many retailers without doing the embroidering via Under Armour. I was just wondering if the embroidery was done by Under Armour, or contracted out to a third party by CBID. It may even be possible that CBID wishes to save money if they have the means to embroider in-house.

Under Armour has high quality standers, and I trust their stuff. CBID embroidering and/or screen printing Under Armour stuff, not so much.

I have spoken.

*standards.

OHHHHH..........I see.........you're referring to the stuff in the merchandise auctions.

Couldn't help you with that........I don't buy my clothes from discount cigar auction websites.

:)

^ Now that I think about it, Wal-Mart does have cheaper clothes (although I have never shopped there).

not as cheap as the goodwill store!!!

I find that 5-10 year old cotton t-shirts and Arizona blue jeans work well for 75-80% of my activities, the other 20-25% involves sleeping.

Sorry I can't offer any info on those high tech duds.

^ Maybe you can pick some 'high end duds' up at your next herf, Harry Potter.

Instead of taking a box, you could fit them in a book bag. Quite discreet, and a space saver (don't know what type of get-a-way vehicle you drive).

My 8 year old LOVES UA clothes. He wears it all the time. Thank goodness for grandparents because we don't buy it for him. Too danged $$$$. I picked up a few UA shirts when a local sporting good store marked ALL UA clothes 1/2 off. Now that was a good buy...for UA clothes. Unfortunately, I had to step up to a size I thought would be way to big for me. Sadly, it fit. UA shirts can take some getting used to if you're trying to look like an NFL player in one, and a lot of people should not consider wearing UA clothes (visualize fat people in spandex). Hopefully, with a few more months in the gym, it might actually look ok on me. UA shirts are great for cold weather, as a first layer. I have a UA "cold gear" shirt, and it does a great job.

I never heard of Under Armour. What c-bid products(specifically) do they make?

I've won about 4 different c-bid t-shirts and a couple of those smoking shirts, is that what your talking about?

Holy mackral...mackerel...mak...holy crap, Mr Jones...you've never heard of Under Armour clothing? Do you watch much sports? Just about every athlete can be seen wearing a shirt (tight like scuba gear) or shoes, or wristbands, or...you name it. Any sport accessory worn by a pro seems to have the UA logo on it these days.
