Only replica's are screen printed. New swingman's are heat pressed. Adidas said in the promo materials that the heat pressing would improve the longevity of the letters in the wash and reduce fraying. No idea if that's the long term case but I don't like how they feel at all.

Is the heat pressed material durable or is it like the weak soccer jersey type of heat pressed material?

i'd say it's more "durable" ....but then again i only owned mine for like 2 months, so we still have to see how they age

but the numbers are a lot more sturdier, and don't have wrinkle issues like soccer jerseys do
 
LEGIT CHECK AUTHENTIC MICHAEL JORDAN CHICAGO BULLS 1997-98 ALTERNATE ROAD JERSEY BY NIKE

Could anyone help me identifying if this jersey is authentic or not? All help is very appreciated! Thanks a lot!
 
I wanna say that the Jordan is legit because the cut and Bulls logo looks really good, but the name on the back looks a little off to me. Ah man, maybe an OG can help you out.

I picked up a Lillard Blazers Alternate 14/15 jersey a few weeks back and it arrived last monday. The cut is much better in my opinion, but the material is just odd. It's like a strange jersey/tee material hybrid. I miss the stitched letters and numbers too.

I won't be buying anymore 14-15 jerseys. I want a Magic Pride jersey but I hope thats the older style material and letters/numbers.

It's funny...last night I just ran through my closet and came across my Heat Gary Payton swingman I had customized by NBAStore last year...they were heat pressed using the exact same letters and numbers that they use in the current swingman. They are fairly durable but neither of my custom jerseys have seen the wash a ton yet. I can try and get some comparison pics.
 
Here are the best pics I could get comparing the old stitched Swingman (Wade, left) with my NBA Store customized heat pressed Swingman, which uses the same material as the new Swingman.
 
dc ..i got a heat pressed custom wall like ur payton custom...its different from the newer swingman lettering

the new swingman letters n numbers are attached more "closer" to the jersey...it looks like its screenprinted....almost seamless...as opposed to the older swingman where it seems u can peel the number off thee jersey with ur nail

Thanks for the pics guys on the heat pressed material I was pondering on getting the current road portland and golden state jerseys. Since I haven't seen the newer swingmans in hand I was thinking of not getting the jerseys but now I think I am, seeing how there's a shít load of curry fakes I just don't want to take a chance on buying a fake.

I'm gonna say fake. Jock Tag look suspect to me.

I think that style of Jock Tag had the Player's name on the ID.

Both look fake to me.

The throwback just because it looks absolutely horrible and the the more recent one mainly because I don't think they've ever had the team logo on Swingman jock tags, except for the more recent HWCs.

But they did...just look at the older swingmans before Adidas changed the jock tag I know the newer don't but I'm pretty sure the older swingmans on reebok and Adidas had the logos on them. I think you're talking about Nike because they've never put the logos on their jock tags.

Hwc Davis is fake and the other one look legit.

That's what I'm saying Rakim probably got confused with the Nike ones because I know for a fact Adidas and reebok had the logos on the tag in the mid 00's. Also what are you doing up in the middle of the night lol
