I said it in general that its not authentic, not towards something what you said. The differences between swingmans and replicas: Swingman jerseys are closer to authentic then the replicas, the material used on the jerseys is heavy mesh, which is what most teams in the NBA have while the replicas have some softer and shiny like material with meshholes, the lettering is stitched on...instead of screenprinted as the replicas are. The NBA logo on Swingman is kinda stitched IN the material, not ON the material as the replicas have (hard to explain, you should see it for yourself). And the price for a swingman is higher because it has better quallity then the replicas.

k08e, Nike's swingman's are replicas, they're just Nike's version of a replica jersey.

Nike's are the best quality, Champion doesn't even make them anymore sicne they're license expired so anything you get of their's is old, and Reebok's are good value but have those stupid wide-shoulders.

Ok here is me to clear it all up here's the differences-

Swingman aka- Nike-
- Heavy Mesh.
- Stitched On Lettering But The Lettering Is Not Fabric, Its Sorta has A Plasticey Feel To It.
- Has The Little Nike Swish Sewn Onto The Mesh, Not Like The Lettering.

Rebock-
- Letters NOT Sewn On, Letters are "Ironed On" If You Will
- Not mesh, almost like silk with alot of very small holes, not heavy mesh like Swingman
- I have realized not to put these jerseys in the Dryer cuz the letters/numbers have a high tendisy to "Crack"
- Rebock Logo Under NBA Logo Also Sewn On Like Swingman

Authentics-
- The Exact Same Jerseys They Wear On The Court
- Depends On Matirial By Team.
Ex- 2002-03 Orlando magic Jersey, Dark Blue and You Can See Stars In The Fabric
-Also On The 02-03 Magic Jersey, There Is The 9/11 Ribon On The Right Breast Area Like The Real One
- You Dont Get Them in Small/Large/Medieum You Get It In Like a 56 or 48 It Means Inches Long
- Only Ones I Have SEEN In My School Are-
03-04 Orlando Magic Blue Tracy McGrady
03-04 Seatle Supersonics Green Gary Payton
03-04 Seatle Supersonics Green Ray Allen

hope that cleared some stuff up

Nike, hands down. I only get the Nike jerseys, the quality is very good for the price--and I got two Mitchell and Ness jerseys and i'm scared to wear those anywhere. I plan on framing those 2 though.

Nah, not yet anyway :wink: . They are just 2 of my favorite players . My girlfriend got me 2 for christmas--Magic and Pistol Pete. Hopefully, I'll be adding to that collection.

As far as the Nike ones, i've got
1. away Lebron
2. Bullets MJ
3. MPLS Kobe jersey
4. San Diego Richardson jersey
5. Vince carter purple jersey
6. Iverson sixers throwback (red) early 80's uniforms

I want to get that yellow Sonics one soon too.

next one i want is the Magic Johnson Michigan State jersey--Valentine's day maybe. :wink:

The funny thing is, i don't even wear these jerseys--I just like collecting them. My girlfriend gets me them because it's easy to shop for and she knows I'll like it--and i don't really need anything.

Those are swingmans you are talking about right? nice collection (Y). Ive got a authentic Lakers home Kobe jersey...the gold one, and a MPLS Kobe jersey. Im planning to get the authentic retro jersey to when I get the money. I also dont wear them alot, I hang em up in my room, and time by time I wear them. + the authentic is way to big for me lol, makes me look like some wanksta, and I dont really like baggy clothes anymore :P
