Needed a new Warriors jersey bad before playoff season, but man, those official store prices? Forget it. Started digging around online for cheap NBA gear, ended up finding some wild deals. Here’s exactly how it went down.
The Starting Point
Woke up Tuesday, coffee in hand, thinking “Time for a jersey upgrade.” Checked the Warriors’ official online store first – holy cow, $150+ for a Curry authentic? Nah. Flipped over to Google quick and typed in “Warriors jersey discounts” and “affordable NBA fan gear.” Hit Enter.
Saw a bunch of stores pop up right away. Places I knew, others totally new to me. Didn’t trust the fancy-looking random sites. Decided to stick with the bigger names or ones with lots of reviews. Took notes:
- Clicked on Fanatics. Saw a banner screaming “Spring Sale.”
- Jumped over to NBA Store. Had filters for clearance items.
- Remembered Dick’s Sporting Goods sells jerseys. Pulled that tab up.
- Opened Amazon. Searched “Golden State Warriors jersey” sorted by price low-high.
Felt kinda organized then. Started comparing.
Playing the Comparison Game
Noticed Fanatics had a Thompson jersey in the “essential” style, whatever that means, for $69.99. NBA Store had a Wiggins swingman on clearance for $59.99 – but my size was gone. Annoying.
Amazon was chaos. Found jerseys for like $29.99, some Curry, some Thompson. Looked way too cheap. Zoomed in on the pics. Stitching looked off, colors seemed faded in the photos. Scrolled down. Review said, “Nice for price, but feels thin and logo cracked after two washes.” Pass.
Kept bouncing between Fanatics and Dick’s. Fanatics had a “Spend $50, get $10 off” deal. Decided to search for Klay Thompson jerseys specifically. Found one at Dick’s – swingman jersey, $74.99. But! Remembered they sometimes have coupons. Dug around. Found a pop-up offering 20% off my first online order if I signed up for texts. Sweet.
The Sneaky Discount Hunt
Signed up for Dick’s texts right there on my laptop. Code came through: 20off. Plugged it in at checkout. $74.99 dropped down to $60 flat. Plus, shipping was free over $49. Slammed that “Place Order” button.
Thought I was done. Got an email 5 minutes later: “Welcome to Dick’s Sporting Goods!” Scrolled down… saw a coupon for $20 off my next order of $100 or more. Huh. Not today, but maybe later.
Double-Checking for Traps
Worried for a sec. Is this jersey gonna be fake? Made sure I ordered directly from Dick’s themselves, not some third-party seller on their site. Checked. Yep, “Ships and sold by Dick’s Sporting Goods.” Should be legit.
Also checked return policy. 90 days? Plenty of time if something’s off.
Final Moves & Takeaways
Tracked that shipping like crazy. Showed up two days later. Ripped the box open. Jersey felt good – thick fabric, crisp lettering, the NBA hologram sticker on the tag. Checked the size. Fit like a glove. Score.
Lessons learned big time:
- Official stores = first place to leave.
- Super cheap prices = super cheap quality. No shocker.
- Compare, compare, then compare some more. Every site hides different deals.
Sign up for email or texts. Those welcome discounts? Legit.
Clearance sections are treasure boxes… if your size is chilling there.
Got my Klay swingman for $60 bucks, feel like I won. Saved a bundle for playoff beers. Simple as that.
