The stitching is just an added detail. All of the Vapor limited jerseys are heat pressed/sealed, even before the stitch ones are stitched. Because they are heat sealed, they are chemically bonded to the material and cannot physically be peeled off like the screen pressed ones. Like I said, the old Limited stitch jerseys went through the exact same process, the top stitch was added as an extra detail but if you look at it closely, the stitch itself is not ideal for holding the numbers on alone. If they didn't heat press them first the stitching wouldn't last. My mom is a professional seamstress and I had her do a top stitch on my F.U.S.E. limited jersey and it looks exactly the same as the old limited runs. Even some of the elite jerseys do not have the top stitching, same goes for the players' jerseys. Not all of the NFL teams have that top stitching detail, example is the Bengals. Look closely at their 2023 jerseys...there's no stitching. If you really wanted to, you could bring the F.U.S.E. jerseys to a professional and have them top stitch it since I know details matter. It wouldn't cost too much given that it's just for detail and not for functionality of the piece.
As a Minnesota Vikings fan I’m gonna sleep on that elite classic Justin Jefferson jersey. I’m good with my Alan Page and Carl Eller Ebbets Field jersey’s. 😊
And definitely more tighter fit too I don’t like that at all I like loose jerseys that’s comfort we pay for at 200 300 a jersey I just got 4 older runs 2 cowboys and 2 49ers all in xxl and there the quality I’m looking for in my jerseys it sucks they went up in price and the quality went down also definitely love the fit of a xxl old run fits perfect I wear size xl shirts but love my jerseys a bit more space as the xl are just to tight in the back shoulders so that extra space on the xxl older runs is my jerseys I try to only buy the order runs but it’s getting harder to find unfortunately
The purple jersey is great quality and the elastic sleeves..... But good luck finding a Rams jersey in the Elites..... They have been out of stock for over a year now.
I recently got a Deebo 94 throwback fuse limited…. Super disappointed. I hated how even on the old limiteds the numbers were sublimated, but since there’s no stitching now you basically see a bit of a white border as the numbers are poorly cut. 94 throwbacks are one of my favorite jerseys ever. But on fuse they’re awful. I really enjoy collecting jerseys but definitely won’t be buying Nike fuse limiteds anymore. It’s basically elite or nothing lol so I’ll definitely be buying less. Elites are superior in every way. Limiteds were nice to wear on occasion and collect prior to fuse. Disappointing
For the first time, I think I'm actually going Vapor Elite on my following jersey, I hate the price but I know it will last. Might pick up old Vapor limited while I still can for TJ Watt
You know that saying, you get what you pay for! I personally will not be buying any limited fuse jerseys just as long as they keep on making them like this
@@REZRECTION honestly though you’re right. Just so disappointing. I love my hockey jerseys. Formula 1 fan wear has the same problem. Higher prices for garbage quality
I haven’t work jerseys since God knows how long (mainly since I’m more into streetwear) but My thing with these jerseys is I feel heat applied lettering is just dumb, they know it won’t last as long and it’ll save them money With everything going up and materials getting harder to come by I understand Except this is Nike, they’re a multibillion dollar business, they can easily sew things if they wanted to The only jersey I have now is a Carl Malone Lakers jersey made by Nike and I feel with letters stitched and mash material makes it last LONGER My other problem is the mesh would not just be easier to clean, but easier to not stain compared to this material bs I give this design a 4/10 It’s close but no cigar Also I love your videos my man, keep up the great work ❤
The Vapor FUSE elite are absolutely worth the extra $20 dollars. The fit, feel, and look are second to none. They are the ones that the players wear on the field.
Wanted to get some new Vikings jersey this year but either I will get one Vapor limited from last year or nothing. I will definetely not buy a jersey with a heat printed number and I won’t pay 300+ $ for the Elite. Great video btw
The Nike FUSE limited jerseys are very poor quality jerseys. As you mentioned, only the check mark on the shoulder area is stitched. Everything is pretty much heat printed. Get the standard game jersey and save yourself like $50. Can't believe they downgraded in quality. I miss the old limited jerseys
Nit going to lie when rebook use to make the jersey they fit well and the material felt more better and were the the best second were Mitchell and ness these nike ones are meh they feel cheap even the authentic one do to in my opinion.
@@REZRECTION yeah but unlike rebook Mitchell and ness still sell jerseys and they have a store in Philadelphia idk what happened to reebok I know they still sell shoes but that's it they fell off.
Since they made the change, I've been ordering three jerseys a week. When they show up, I rip them out of the bag, crumple them up and send them back for a full refund. Just fighting the good fight against this change, with as much pettiness as possible.
Those things are junk.... Heat Press numbers and name plates. I sent back my FUSE Rams jersey. Wish they would come back with Vapor Elite which was by far better quality than the FUSE and Limited crap things Nike is now selling. However nice video and informative.
I think Mitchell & Ness is better longevity wise. All these nike jerseys will fall apart years later. Stitched jerseys will last longer. Nike's recycling method is straight profit for them and delivering products that wont last. I like what nikes doing with the designs, but they need to stitch the jerseys. Imagine getting an autograph on the number, and when they retire, the letters start peeling away.
Unfortunately Nike will only have stitched jerseys if you get the authentics at this point! M&N have also started to use heat graphics for their swingman line which is alarming
@REZRECTION I got some swingman nba shorts and yes the graphics are peeling. Especially on my KG era timberwolves shorts. Literally after maybe 2 months.
Question, do you wash your jerseys in the washer if so, liquid powder or pods???or do you dry clean them? What do you recommend is the best way thanks???
Personally, I don’t not wash my jerseys in the washer. I take them all to the dry cleaners. However, Iiquid detergent or pods should be fine BUT, you should put it on delicate setting. NEVER throw your jerseys in the dryer as well.
Depends on how you want it to fit. If you want that athletic / snug look I would go true to size. Nowadays, jerseys run shorter in the length, and wide on the width.
That’s so weird that they don’t have CMC vapor fuse jerseys… any idea why? I just double checked and you’re right. That being said I just received my Daniel Jones Vapor Fuse Jersey. Was over 400 after shipping and tax but worth it lol.
I have no idea, but I’m just as disappointed! $400 for a single vapor fuse is out of this world for me 😂I love jerseys. But if jerseys are that range now, I think I’ll save some fancash and coupons for awhile lol
😂 can always go to your local tailor and have them add the twill on the names and letters….but is it really worth adding stitching on your numbers/letters? 🤔
Fanatics brand manufactures Nike jerseys now and fanatics owns Mitchell and Ness but the nfl throwbacks of Mitchell and Ness have stitched numbers instead of heat pressed but the NBA swing man have heat pressed numbers name and logo when they were stitched about 3 or 4 yrs ago and that was way better quality IMO. Nike and fanatics cutting corners to make the jersey prices higher but the quality is down, they just getting flat out greedy and they didnt think know us jersey loving ppl knew the difference but we found out right away the quality was down but price up, smh.
Was actually going to buy a Forty-Niner FUSE jersey last week but found out about the heat pressed numbers and said "Nope!" I will just go to E-bay and buy off my verified sellers for past jerseys.
You can’t do a proper Jersey review off of pictures my guy. Those pics just don’t do the Vapor FUSE Elite’s justice. The FUSE is just pretty much means the chassis of the Jersey (paneling, neck collar, chain mill underneath the NFL logo, sleeves and location of perforated holes are in different locations) have been updated to this years jersey style that the players wear on the field.
I understand what you’re saying, but currently don’t own a fuse jersey, which is why I used the pics. I’m not gonna go out of my way to buy a fuse limited with the cheap vinyl pressed graphics. Just doesn’t make sense for me. Eventually, I’ll get a fuse elite ONLY when they make other players that are currently available.
These new limited f.u.s.e jerseys are junk. If you don't mind heated on names and numbers by the replica. Nike went out cheap and are charging MORE for an inferior product. Don't waste your money.
Nike quality over the years is garbage 🗑️ when I was younger when swingmans came out years ago they were all stitched 🧵 and the sizes are off compared to Mitchell and ness

Crazy how much non-authentic jersey prices are going up while the quality of the product is going down.
You’re tellin’ me! It’s as if Nike thinks we don’t know the decline of quality
Agreed. They don’t even stitch the numbers anymore. Feels cheap
@@samueldelcastillo21I have an old Nike type material non stitched with twill..after two years it starts to come apart. Straight garbage
@@vonglo4587 it’s ridiculous considering the price is the same. Kinda makes me wanna but a fake jersey since their stuff is all stitched
@@samueldelcastillo21 Yup, unfortunately that's the direction non authentic jerseys are going. Sad times man..
Reebok/Adidas needs to make a comeback on making jerseys again.
Nike is TRIPPIN. 💯

Hoping not, I'd rather see Under Armour.
