What's the company again that makes replica BG jerseys?

I ordered one from there two years ago, anyone know what the name of that place is again or what the link is.....I lost it. If I remember correctly, it's something with Tech in it.

Thanks

Wow, I don't know about ordering from them. I ordered a jersey in early September. I called late October and they said I would have it in a couple of weeks. I began calling middle of December and have not talked to a person there since. I continued to get no answer or a voice mail box that was full. In late January I had my credit card company refund my money because they never answered the phone or email.

I have no idea what the status of this company is, but when they treat customers in this manner, I don't want to do business with them and I don't want people I know to get ripped off either.

So be careful.

Yes, always be careful. But I ordered three jerseys from them this past season and didn't have any problems, other than them being a little slow.

I also had quick turn around and quality prodcut from there- ordered in the summer so speed wasn't a factor.

Also, SBX sells a slightly more correct replica that can be customized.

They are a random company. I'll leave it at that...

SBX also carries the replica jerseys.

On HawkTalk, we had the same random problems that you have encountered with them. I ordered one and got it under 2 weeks. Like another poster here, we have some waiting still too.

Great product, but someone isn't doing a real good job of correspondence/order tracking over there...

I'd beg to differ on the "great product" comment. I got one for Christmas last year and I kind of wished I'd just have gone to SBX. Oh well. I wear it proudly anyway.

I'm going to go with Saxy on this one. I've seen the ones that they sell at both places, and the jerseys at SBX don't have a dye/paint job for the brown stripe up the side and across the shoulders. Its actual fabric and it looks pretty nice, too.

I had a great experiance the first time I ordered from them in the summer. I ordered in August and it took 4 weeks. The jersey was overnighted to ensure I had it in time for my flight to OK. This time my shipment was due prior to the holidays (Xmas) and I didn't receive them until late January. I was phoned by the company on the Dec. 27th (they did this on there own) and they apologized but asked if I would still like to have the order since they missed the deadline. I agreed that I still wanted the product, so they proceeded with filling the order. They also told me that they have recently made some changes to the manufacturing of the jersey. I believe they have switched to a different manufacturer. They had hoped this would improve the problems they were having with filling orders on time. Also, when I e-mailed them, they always returned the e-mail with a status. Phoning was a problem because the voicemail filled up in January. They stated a big ice storm had kept them out of business for awhile and put them further behind. I believe they recognize there is a problem and they are trying to work through the issues to provide better service. I can say that they have always been pleasant.

Basically, order far in advance. If you want your jersey in time for the first game, you may want to order in June/July, just in case.

Freak's and my own don't have a dye/paint job on them at all. We don't have a brown strip running down the sides though either! I've noticed some of the newer ones have a totaly different brown color, too. Like I said before...they are a random company.

Same here.

I ordered Jerseys in the summer and then again after the season. All of the jerseys are identical. You can chose between the newer style with the brown stripe or the classic style without the stripe. The company's product has not been random, but allows a choice. The brown is actually a different strip of material, not brown dye. I have been quite pleased with the product. The only issue is in the delivery time, so you have to be patient. We all love our jerseys.
