About Basketball Jerseys

Basketball jerseys are important for any basketball fan or player. The jerseys are of different types: authentic, swingman, replica, hardwood, and women jerseys.

Authentic jerseys

These are often expensive and they are the top options for fans who want to showcase their allegiance to the game. The prices of the attires run between $200 and $300.

Although, they are expensive, they are of the highest quality. They are usually made from 190-gram polyester and a mesh material is included to help with the sweat.

The attires come in different sizes which are:

Medium (44)
Large (48)
X-Large (52)
XX-Large (56)
XXX-Large (60)

These are the most common attires you will find in stores. They are often cheaper (but look as good as the authentic attires) thus ideal for fans who want to have a good looking attire but don’t want to part with large amounts of money. In most cases, the prices run between $80 and $130.

The products are made from 100% polyester and come in standard sizes such as extra large, large, medium, and small. For more breathability, there are some performance editions which are made of mesh.

Replica jerseys

These are official attires from the manufacturer, but they lack the same quality as authentic or swingman versions. While they look as good as the authentic products, they usually don’t last for long.

They are also much cheaper than the authentic attires. They are made to resemble a t-shirt and the logos, letters, and numbers are screen printed.

Hardwood classics

Also known as throwbacks, retro, old school, or vintage, these jerseys are designed to resemble the ones worn by a top player in previous seasons. They come in authentic and replica versions and they are made by top companies such as Adidas, Reebox and Mitchell and Ness.

Women jerseys

These jerseys are characterized by more flattering cuts that are designed specifically for women.

What to look for when buying a basketball jersey

For you to buy authentic attires, you need to consider a number of factors. One of the factors you need to consider is the price. If the attire is being sold at a very low price, the product is most likely a fake.

The other thing you should look at is the quality. The attire’s stitching should be tight and should not feature poor craftsmanship. The mesh should also not have huge holes; it should have small ones.
