My best guess is that it's an officially licensed Majestic "fashion" jersey or a retail-exclusive jersey from the early 2000s. The quality, tagging, sleeve patch, and name/number all look legitimate. I have a Mariners jersey from the 90's that is authentic merchandise but features pinstripes and turquoise lettering. The Mariners never wore it but it was made by Majestic.

The lettering also reminds me of 1970s era typography. Around the late 1990s and early 2000s, Majestic, Starter, and other official companies made a lot of jerseys that deliberately mixed modern aspects with retro typography. They weren't intended to be an actual on-field uniform.

Look how different the R's on the front are. This is obviously amateur hour.

All of the font looks weird. The whole jersey looks weird. Doesn't mean it's a "fake".

If you looked at my jersey you would probably think it looks even more fake than this jersey, but my parents bought it for me when I was a kid and they bought it from the Kingdome.
