I have no opinion on this jersey, but legitimate replicas almost never are identical to the original. They usually are clearly different in a number of details, and intentionally made that way by the maker. Many game used collectors would consider it unethical to make perfectly identical replicas -- but they consider those retail 'throw backs' to be cool just like many of the rest of us.
My last note is forgery requires intent. Forgery requires that an item was made with the intent of deceiving. If you make a damn good replica, many would say that's an unwise thing to do, but if you didn't intend to deceive that isn't forgery.
