Which Jersey To Buy?

Postby Kenny on Mon Jan 09, 2012 7:48 pm

So I was looking around today at the shopping centre and I saw a few NBA jerseys with stitched on numbers and player names, except the only jerseys available were of players I either didn't care for or not like enough to get a jersey of (LeBron, D-Wade, Kobe, Gasol, Rondo and Rose). I previously bought a Gallinari jersey on NBA.com, and while I like wearing it, everything was screen printed (n)

Which jerseys have the stitched letters and numbers? Bare in mind I don't necessarily want to spend 250 on a replica.

I'm guessing you're probably only going to see jerseys for players like that here in Australia. If you were willing to order online, you could probably get a quality jersey for just about anyone, though NBA.com's shipping rate to Australia is ridiculous.

well they have 3 tiers of quality for jerseys. "replicas" are the cheap screen-printed garbage that no one should ever waste their money on. "swingmans" are in the middle, usually 20 bucks more than the replicas and are a good potion for most. "authentics" are the real ones, and they are usually 180-200+ for each although ive found some for pretty cheap on ebay

I think I accidentally got a replica when I ordered off nba.com last time... oh well, beginner's mistake I guess. So I'm guessing the jersey I'm looking for is a swingman. I noticed the jerseys at the store I went to had embroided numbers, which is what I want... I just want to avoid wearing LeBron's jersey... and I've noticed there's an abundance of people wearing Chris Paul jerseys walking around the shopping centre too.

Swingman is the way to go. Obviously it would be great to get authentics, but swingman jerseys are the next best thing. Replicas are turrible, I never get them.

As for jersey suggestions, Ricky Rubio :cool: or Kevin Love

I like them both, but I'm more inclined to get a Kenneth Faried jersey :P

Faried! That's probably difficult to get though.

Man, what are we even talking about here? NBA.com, Store, Personalized Jerseys, Perko #32. :wink:

Off-topic -- why is Faried logging all those DNP-CD?

Faried, the nuggets had a very underrated draft...I love their team since mr. Selfish left.

Faried has a long way to go in the NBA. Right now, he's a raw athletic freak that can energize the crowd and get easy buckets. He still hasn't grasped the offense/defense rotating schemes in the NBA.
