I did open 1 gift...my brother made me...it was an authentic throwback Joe Theismann jersey. It's niiiiiice. In case you didn't know, Joe is my all time favorite player, but I wouldn't buy a jersey because I wanted the real thing, not a replica, or replithentic.

This is also my 13th Redskins jersey. It never gets old!

I never understood what a "replithentic" jersey was. I just don't get it. What's the difference?

A replithentic has sown on letters and numbers but may be slightly off on colors, and the fabric is not what is worn on the field. It's made in mass quanities...authentics are very specific on what was worn on the field and unique.
Honestly, I love replithentics, because the average person has no clue it's not authentic, and they are often a 3rd of the cost, or at least half the cost.
Joe just deserved more!
