About 10 years ago, Swingman was stitched. I'm just now realizing they changed to heat pressed
Yeah man I remember the single twill stitched ones.
@@JamesMeyers yea I haven't bought a jersey in years since wearing jersey was the fashion back in the day. I have tons of old stitched jerseys that are swingman. Now I'm looking to buy jerseys to rock on the beach and finding out that you have to go authentic now to get the stitch.
I mean the positive is most stitched Nike Authentic jersey are 200.00 so 90.00 more than the swingman for the top of the line for them. I know it sucks but it’s not terrible.
@@JamesMeyers I need to find what website you shop on. All the authentic jerseys I see are $250 or $299. The swingman is $125. Every now and then I'll find a authentic on sale for $150 but it's usually players that left that team or something like that.
@@leatherface964 check the nba shop on nba.com
Or Nike.com
Thanks for this video. I have several Swingman jerseys and was thinking of getting an authentic. This has been helpful.
No problem bro, I’m glad I was able to help you. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Straight to the point thank you so much
thank you man! best comparison video on the topic!
No problem, thanks for watching
Genuinely had no idea what the difference were between the two, I've been considering picking up a lakers jersey for a while, appreciate the insight
No problem, thanks for watching and supporting
I’m 5’9” and 155 lbs. I wear a size Mens Small (40) in the swingman. I personally like the true to fit size/slim fit. I can even wear a shirt underneath. But I know most people like looser NBA jerseys/shirts. So if you’re around my height and weight then I’d recommend getting the medium (44), in the swingman. Also one more thing, the authentic (stitched jersey) does run tighter and longer in length (like 2-4 inches longer than the swingman. I personally feel more comfortable in a swingman than I do in a Authentic jersey, since it is slight lighter in weight. Hopefully this helps anyone that is looking for the right jersey. Have a good day and stay safe!!💯🙏🏽
I'm 5'8 165lbs.. thanks for the tip
What I can’t seem to find any info on is that on my authentic ONLY the team name(jazz) on the front and the Nike logo are stitched when you look down the jersey no numbers or name where as I was told EVERYTHING was stitched....any help if you happen to see this? Am I missing something?
I work at a Lids and I get asked a lot about current authentics. I had no idea they were around and there was such a big difference.
Yeah bro there is some major differences. Glad I was able to help you a little bit. Thanks for watching
Granted it might not apply everywhere, but are y'all able to order an Authentic to the store if a customer was interested?
Thanks for the help! Just was looking for a jersey to occasionally wear, my biggest concern was sizing between medium and large.
In the nike jersey's medium and large doesn't have a big diference. Here is the dimensions
For medium Width:20 Length:29.5
Large Width:21 Length:30.5
I can wear both medium and large, i hope this helps
Nice video, what about the older swing man and authentic jerseys of the legends on the nba shop store?
Looking to buy the new city connect jersey but they only have Unisex swing man is the sizing the same?
Dope video. Thanks.
No problem Thanks for watching
my swingman Duncan jersey is fully stitched. the spurs lettering and the number 21 are all stitched on
Great review! Do you know if Nike makes authentic jerseys without the +2 length?
Nice vid man . About to buy a lebron jersey this week but can’t decide between purple or yellow. The purple stands out a little more so I’m leaning that way !
Thanks bro. I don’t think you can go wrong either way. The purple is gonna be 🔥 if you pick that one. Enjoy your new Lebron jersey
i have a warrios swingman but i dont have that nike connect thing, anybody know why?
ive been looking into a buying my first jersey, i liive in europe so its harder to find authentic jerseys. but seeing this makes me feel like i should buy the authentic anyway.
Ha your 100th like. Thanks for the review homie.... Subscribed.
Thanks bro I appreciate the support 💪🏻
Looks like if I am wearing swingman 44, then I should pick the 40 for authentic, right?
i don't have the bugdet problem, I have 2 authentic jerseys, im thinking about giving the swingman a try because I want to use the jersey for playing and training and the stitching is not that confortable without some interior, that nike pro shirt that the players use, what do u think for my case?
If it’s a comfort thing or in your case you’ll be playing in it and for lack of a better word kinda “beating” on the jersey. Then I think the swingman is the proper choice for your needs
Woah those are some cool framed LA kings jerseys in the back! How did you find those?
Reviews for sneakers and jerseys? Subscribed within seconds my man
Thanks bro I appreciate you 💪🏻💯🙏🏻
I have 30 swingman jerseys with all the tags and everything, is it a good investment for the future?
6:55 My friend played in his Giannis Swingman Jersey and I told him, 'Oh! It's a Swingman. That's nice.'
He told me that his sister bought it for him and he thought that it is fake.
I inspected it and cleared up to him that it is genuine and explained to him the different classes (Authentic, Swingman & Replicac) and editions (Assoc, Icon, Statement, City & Classic).
The dude listened intently then saved up $200 and bought an Authentic one.
Thanks for the help. I usually stick to swingmans (as far as NBA jerseys), but I just got a great deal on an authentic statement Suns Booker that I just couldn’t pass up. With fanatics cash, I paid $40 out of pocket for it!
So I’ll have that statement authentic (black alternate) Suns Booker and the association (purple away) swingman Suns Booker. And then I have one Joe Burrow Bengals limited (black home) and one Jamarr Chase Bengals limited jersey (away white), an Authentic M&N Pete Rose 1975 Cincinnati Reds (home white),an authentic M&N Johnny Bench Cincinnati Reds 1983 batting practice jersey (Red), and an authentic 2000 Ken Griffey Jr Reds (Black) batting practice jersey.
And my grail is a fully authentic Suns Charles Barkley (road purple) Champion Brand jersey from the 1990’s.
James, thank you so much for helping me answer my question. I'm a toronto raptors fan and want to purchase a jersey for the very first time but didn't know which one to buy? I now do, and it'll be authentic!
No problem glad to help !
thanks a lot man!
Thanks for watching
Would you say the gold looks pretty good or more yellow?
Fire video! But will the swingman numbers and names come off ?
Over time yes it will.
I guess if i want to buy a charles barkley jersey i need the swingman since i'll be playing with it a lot, plus the classic color short.
If you know you’re gonna be putting the jersey through some stress I’d get the cheaper swingman jersey that way you don’t end up ruining the more expensive jersey. Just my opinion though
@@JamesMeyers
You're right, i'm in 100% agreement.
How’s the fit?Do the size run the same?I wear 44 for swingman.Will it be the same for authentic?
No the large in an authentic is 48 for some reason
@@JamesMeyers ok,will need to go a size up then for authentic jersey then.
I have a Adidas swingman jersey for Brandon Roy and a Nike authentic city jersey for damian lillard
hey bro, is authentic and swingman jerseys fit exactly the same ? like if both are large do they have the same exact measurements or less true to size than the other ? thanks
They’re pretty close. I feel like the authentic is more contoured but still the size you normally wear in either will fit
@@JamesMeyers thanks man
Hello this is my first time to watch you, i would like to know if we can find the authentic short also and buy it like thé jersey ?
Thanks from Germany
Search Nike or Mitchell and Ness
@@JamesMeyers nike
The two Steph Curry jerseys I have from eBay are Swingman jerseys one is an Adidas older Jersey sewn on one is a new one Nike sewn on not heat pressed
With nike authentic Jersey running small, Im 5'9 225 , instead of getting a size 56. Do I need to go to size 58 ?
I would if I was you bro
@@JamesMeyers Thank you great video 👍🏾 be safe
No problem
In the philippines they are selling this Mitchell & Ness jerseys for only $6 and the quality is surprisingly over the expectation I can say its almost like an Addidas jersey. Anyone knows hows that possible for that $6 pricetag?
Its a China Import...100% fake but I could agree on the quality..
@@robbyangeles9501fake? They probably make them for Nike! 😂 pay the $6.00 and enjoy the jersey.
Can’t wait to see who wins the jerseys tomorrow?! Will you do it live?
Gonna post a video on Monday for it
Is dicks sporting goods swing man jersey legit ? I’m tryna get a Jokic jersey And I’m 5’10 172lbs is a XL too big for me?
Dicks sporting goods is legit. XL should be perfect for you IMO
@@JamesMeyers thank you so much bro 🔥
No problem
Hey James are you willing to sell your authentic Lebron jersey?
Still couldn't figure out the difference between authentic and the one players wear on court.
Cool review James. I have a Lebron James Lakers Swingman and a Kobe Bryant Authentic. Honestly I think the swingman is heavier than the authentic as the Kobe Authentic Jersey I got it is so light not heavy at all. But you can't go wrong with any of them as I always get compliments when I have a swingman or authentic. People can't really tell. Only Jersey Heads like us can tell LOL. Thanks bro and again another 🔥🔥🔥🔥 review like always. ✌✌✌😁😁
That’s cool bro. I think the authentic is a tad heavier but who’s to say the quality control isn’t different from item to item. And yeah I think they’re both light and thin. Definitely better for the summer months in my opinion
I jus bought Nike NBA Golden State Warriors Kevin Durant MVP Swingman Jersey is it good and is it considered as a real jersey. Please respond
If you’re talking about the black one Nike made then yes it’s a real jersey
@@JamesMeyers omg yes i was kind of scared but thank you really much. I should get it delivered tomorrow and i have one more question. Is the black one heat pressed or stiched?
@@rytiskitovas7124 Swingman jersey are heat pressed
@@JamesMeyers thank u so much u defitnally deserve a follow😁
Thank you I appreciate you
Hey bro if I’m 6’0 what size should I order for an authentic jersey? First time buyer
Weight ?
@@JamesMeyers 200 bro
You should definitely probably get Atleast a XL
I’m 5’6 155 and I wear the large. So IMO you definitely want to go up one size from what I’m wearing
@@JamesMeyers Forsure right on g
I was looking at the authentic Luka jersey but in the description is says heat pressed, why does it say that
What website ?
@@JamesMeyers nba shop
@@tylerrr4524 the icon edition jersey they have for 199.00 has heat sealed NBA logo and Nike Logo everything else is stitched
@@JamesMeyers ohh okay thx
In authentics, letters and numbers shouldn’t be heat pressed
Do the authentic jerseys fit different from a Swingman jersey?
The feel is better but the sizing is equal to the swingman
What if I never wash the swing man i can take it to the cleaners will it last forever ??
Not really sure to be honest
Just hand wash it. That's how I take care of my jerseys.
It’s okay I’ve had my swing man for years and it stills looks new
I prefer the Authentic as well. Not always easy to find authentic for my team the Raptors so I will get the swingman.
Nothing wrong with the swingman. And now come to think of it I don’t see many raptors authentics 🤔
@@JamesMeyers Correct and if you do see them it will most likely be the Icon Edition.
@@johnhoy1750 I’m gonna be keeping my eye out now for that.
@@JamesMeyers I just bought an authentic one through the raptors team store. Hard to find the 2016-2019 though .
@@markmata2671 def hard to find. The only ones I been seeing is the Vince Carter M&N
I recently found a Authentic LBJ jordan lakers jersey at my local ross for $13🤣
Steal of the year
I’ve been an authentic guy since the early 2000’s, so I was happy when I heard Nike was taking over cause adidas jerseys were trash, but I’m disappointed. I can NEVER find the cool alternate color authentic jerseys (city edition, statement, etc.) so I’m stuck with getting the Icon jerseys, if they happen to have my size. I’m a Westbrook fan, so I have the authentic icon OKC jersey. I wanted a statement Wizards Westbrook authentic but they only make it in swingman smh. My wife got me the icon authentic Westbrook Wizards for Christmas, but because of Nike’s funky sizing, she got me a 44 (all my M&N jersey’s are 44’s) and I had to return it. No 48’s and no Statement Authentics. What’s your thoughts on them not making most Statement and City Editions in Authentic?? Would you get the swingman in that case?
In a lot of them they do make the authentic but they sell out super quick then end up on eBay for 350.00.
The size 48 thing for a large threw me off at first too. It sucks they didn’t just keep normal sizing for the NBA the same way the do they NFL jerseys.
And I’m not sure why they keep making swingman but not the authentics. Obviously I would like them too. Hopefully they do right by us soon 🙏🏻
Are nba jersey which the player wear were stitched or pressed
Stitched
@@JamesMeyers i know it is dumb but cuz they were for one time so i asked
@@giridharangounder3817 no problem glad to help
Phenomenal comparison. I am also in the gang of going up to someone and saying they're jersey is an authentic or swingman lol
😂
Hey James how do the authentic Mitchell and Ness NBA jerseys fit compared to the Nike swingman fit?
As far as sizing or comfort?
@@JamesMeyers sizing
@@alexsantiago6421 in most cases go true to size.
Swingman have a little more give to them.
Hey James, where does one buy authentic jerseys?! I only see swingman
Nba shop .com, nike , fanatics etc
@@JamesMeyers thanks man!!
I thought 48 was XL and 44 a L? Im new to jerseys so i think im wrong..
48 is Large in Nike
48 is XL in Mitchell & Ness though
@@JamesMeyers oh i got it. thanks! I got the M & N Thats why i was so confused.
No problem glad to help
I am 5’9 150 I love that fit tight feel what size good for me
I’m 5’6 155 so I’d recommend the same size I have in this video
How would a median fit I don’t like my jersey to be long bro
@jamesmeyers
@@kingjohnjuly honestly I can’t even fit in a medium it’s way to tight. The Length in the medium and the large is pretty similar
I remember back when the swingman used to be stitched .... I think it was when adidas made them... either way those where better ... heat pressed looks cheap
Facts, there’s nothing wrong with purchasing a swingman but it is cheap as far as quality goes
James Meyers r the real jerseys the stitched ones??
What do you mean by “real” ? Both the wingman and the authentic are real jerseys that Nike makes. The authentic is as close as you can get to what they players wear
like i got my jersey from jerseyhouse idk if my jersey is a knockoff its stitched tho so is it still an authentic?
I’ve ever heard of Jersey house . How much did you pay for it ?
102 dollars its stitched tho
I’d probably lean towards fake bro. Those jerseys are 200.00 retail
I also prefer the Authentics. Like you said, they last longer, more durable, etc. From a distance. If you know your nba jerseys, you can tell before you get closer. Like what I look for is the jock tag. The jock tag will be slightly longer than the swingman. Another is the side panel to the arm sleeve (or whatever it's called lol). On the Swingman. The arm sleeve continues. But on the Authentics. It starts from the back and end where the side panel is. On a certain team jersey (like the Warriors for example). Depending on the color of the jersey (let's say the royal blue jersey) the side panel has a white base, with a blue strip. On the authentic. The side panel will continue to the the arm hold. Which where the yellow arm sleeve will stop at. But on the swingman again. The side panel actually stops where the arm sleeve continues on. Another thing I look at is. The cut on the bottom side. On the swingman. It has no cuts, so like how a shirt would look like. But on the Authentics. It has a cut. Another thing I definitely look out for (depending if someone has a hoodie on and depending on the team). On the back where the neck is. There's a patch that's golden that has the amount of Championships they've won. Like for example. The Blazers will have the golden patch, but it will have the number 1 on it because they've only won one Championship. But on the Clippers authentic. It will have no golden patch because they haven't won a championship. On swingmans, no matter what team it is. There's no golden patch. One more thing I look for is the neck line on the jersey. Some teams like the Warriors again. On the neck line. Again depending on the color, let's say the white jersey. It will have a blue neck line and have a golden stripe. On authentics. The golden stripe will stop on top of the blue neck line. But on the swingman, it will also end with the blue neck line. Kinda like the Adidas jerseys. But teams like the Celtics will just have a usual oval neck line
Exactly bro, very nice insightful and educational comment I think people will benefit from gaining a bit of knowledge reading this comment . 🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you !
@@JamesMeyers anytime!
Aww man now I’m stressing cause I bought my first jersey and it’s on it’s way, but it’s a swing man, especially after seeing everyone comenting about how authentic is better😭😓
It’s a new lamelo ball hornets jersey
There’s nothing wrong with a swingman. Don’t worry about it. You’re still gonna have a nice jersey
Sos Apache Ness?
which one fits tighter ???
Both are about the same. If I had to pick one I’d say the authentic
@@JamesMeyers Thanks 🙏🏾
Authentic tends to fit a little tighter
hello
i was wondering where i can buy the authenic jersey?
NBA.com or Nike.com , the Lakers store online
💯👏
🙏🏻 thanks bro
Are swingmans real? I just bought a Larry Bird one
Yea they’re real
Swing man are like mid shelf version of jersey
wait so r the authentic jerseys the stitched jerseys??
Yeah
thThanks dude i got a miami heat jimmy butler jersey and idk if it was fake or real
so r the real jerseys the stitched ones??
How should I wash my authentic jersey?
Not every jersey is the same as far as materials some logos and stuff differ. Please look at the laundry instructions tag inside the jersey and follow those steps they provide accordingly to protect your jersey and to keep it for many years to come.
@@JamesMeyers thank you! In your opinion should it be just used occasionally?
You should Be able to wear an authentic as much as possible. The more you care for it the better it will look over time though. Enjoy your jerseys don’t be afraid to wear them
@@JamesMeyers very well said. 💯
Hand wash
You use embroidered and stitched interchangeably. Two different things.
Eather don’t matter and I rock labron,bryant,durrant
I bought a $110 swing man jersey off the nba store but now I’m regretting it because I’m not sure if it’s “fake “ or people will say it’s fake
swingman is counted as legit? or fake?
Swing man is just a cheaper version . They’re legit
Only sell swingman in England

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I really appreciate it
James Meyers damn your fast
I like to interact with people who take the time to comment to me
Bro cost price $2 MAX each
You’re probably right !
I only own one NBA jersey and that is a Adidas Karl-Anthony Towns swingman jersey it doesn’t fit me but it’s cool to have in the closet.
Maybe one day you can make a comparison between Adidas and Nike.
I don’t have any adidas jerseys currently. If I ever get one maybe I could do. Thanks for watching and supporting
@@JamesMeyers I have an adidas limited edition black clippers jersey from Blake Griffins rookie season and that thing is my baby lmao
🔥 jersey
I'd rather buy an authentic jersey, but I just can buy jerseys when they are on sale
So you’re not gonna talk about the threads pulling apart on the authentic?
Haven’t experienced any of that myself. I’m sure it happens but I haven’t had any issues to this point
Hi James
Hello
Authentic is better❤️🔥💯
I'd rather put my own name on it and collect my fav teams
I miss when adidas made the jerseys they had much better jersey
I like the adidas jerseys as well
And they were 100$ for authentic ones too
Heat pressed is so ass, might as well go the extra way n buy the authentic. Man....addias swingman jerseys were so much better in quality
I agree on both points 💯
Authentic is the best for me.
For the extra money it seems worth it to get your favorite players in the authentic version 💯
Y'all gotta stop with saying "exactly the same" when comparing these jerseys. They are NOT!
Authentic all day men.But we don’t get it here in Europe.Not the Nike .
Do you order them from America ?
Not all shop or site post to Europe.Have try but didnt work.
@@jpshawn9144 interesting. I order from UK sites for shoes and stuff figured it would work both ways
Which site?You get authentic nike jersey also on there????
No I get all my jerseys here in the USA. But I’ll order from END, BTSN and places like that over your way for shoes cause sometimes they drop over in the UK first
Authentic is too damn long
