Like I said, you should consider the ethical question of the sort of labor practices you are supporting with your dollars. I'm not sure what Reebok's employment practices are or what sort of conditions their workers operate under in South Korea, El Salvador, and the other areas where they get their jersey shells (I think Reebok subcontracts that work and they have a warehouse in Indianapolis where they do much of the final customization on manufactured jerseys, with other companies doing after-market customizations for NFL.com, Dicks, etc. - Stahl's and Exclusive Pro Sports primarily, with gamers produced in total in Berlin, Wisconsin). Unfortunately, in our consumer culture the product is too often decoupled from the labor (i.e. human production) necessary to create it so we (myself included) only think about getting a "good" price rather than the social implications of those dollars.
