CubWorld.com vs. Wrigleyville.com

Which is a better site to buy from? My wife wants a Theriot jersey and I did a search at both places. They cost the same but the jersey they have pictured at Cub World, it just doesn't look authentic. The name Theriot looks to small vs. the one at Wrigleyville. Please help!

Thanks

Wrigleyville Sports
I bought my official Sandberg jersey there and it was perfect. I dont have anything against Cubworld but what I bought at Wrigleyville was exactly what I wanted.

Both Places
have authentic jerseys in stock and send directly what they have in their store out on internet orders.  I bought a authentic Sosa jersey back in '03 (great choice obviously) from Wrigleyville and an authentic Grace jersey from Cub World last season.  They are both exactly the same, except for the fact that Grace is much better Cub and has prolly drank a lot more beer.  

I would say either or....

Don't feel bad
...you are not the only one with a Sosa jersey. I still have mixed feelings about him but I was "happy" to see him make a comeback and reach the 600 HR plataeu.

I've
never heard of Cubworld.com 'til now, but can recomend WrigleyvilleSports highly.  They've been great (I sent in a jersey to be customized with #16 and Hubbs, and it's perfect)...  I've also bought several other items from them before and been very happy.

Thanks
...for the help. I did tinker with the MLB.com website as well but they want more money there. I think that is where CubWorld got their pictures from. If you "customize" a jersey at MLB.com, the lettering is also smaller looking.

I also
got my authentic Ryno jersey there and everything about that transaction was perfect.

I'm seriously considering a Theriot purchase.

The Riot
...rules! Never will be a superstar. He is a Biggio type player. Gives his all on every play. He did come here to Peoria for this past winters Cubs Caravan and he has a great mindset for the game. This was right after the Cubs signed De Rosa and he "lost" his job at 2nd base. He said he didn't care where they played him. All he wanted was a chance to make the team in spring training and hopefully help the team get to and win a World Series.

Go...
...here .  The guy does excellent work and the prices are great.  I had him make me a Steve Stone Orioles throw-back and it turned out great.

Wrigleyville Sports...
... OK, I have to pimp a bit for myself. If any of you decide to buy from there, click on the link on the right sidebar.

That helps defray some of the costs of running this site. Thanks.

LOL
However, I will agree with cubnational below -- I had a jersey customized there a while back and was very happy with the results.
