There are several things incorrect about this Tom Seaver jersey, and if you click over to What Makes A Throwback Authentic? you will find out what’s wrong with this one, plus you’ll enjoy a solid jerseys discussion.
There are some inaccuracies in these 1969 Mets jerseys for sale as well, but I still think you’d look cool at Citi wearing a Kranepool.

the blue/orange stripes on the side and sleeves look weird. I can't place it, maybe they're in the wrong order, but it was 3 stripes (orange blue orange, right?). maybe they're too thick.
the 80s style jerseys didn't have a player's number on the front and the Mets logo looks smaller and shifted from its correct position.
Seaver in the 80s style jersey looks weird (even the correct one), even if he did wear it for a season.
I can't see the patch on the sleeve, maybe it's a (bogus) 25th anniversary patch from 1986, when Seaver was with the Red Sox.
that big red thing at the neck looks like a tag – should have been hidden for the photo, or maybe it's something incorrect.
some patch at the bottom right of the jersey front. not sure what that is, but it's wrong.
That jersey is an insult to the Great Seaver!
Why in the heck is he wearing the 25th anniversary patch? They wore that in 1986, of course, when Tom played for Sox both White and Red?
And even if they wore the numbers on the front — which they did not — the 1 is much thicker than the 4.
I can only imagine how they screwed up the lettering on the back. Luckily, we're spared seeing that view!
The Mets ALWAYS wore the numbers in the front.
The knock-off jerseys come from the Orient, with defects. Either the piping is crooked, the letters are off, SOMETHING is wrong with it. I learned the hard way, after buying the white Santana jersey and the blue piping along the neck was all crooked. Never again!
