Official NBA Swingman Jersey Thread! Show your collections, legit checks are welcome!

I'm looking to purchase the steph curry Christmas day jersey in medium. Anybody know where I can buy a legit one besides looking on eBay?
 
The Nike USA 2014 basketball jerseys that released last year (retailed $110) are replicas or Swingman? Im not sure, but they are heat pressed.
 
Few things came in today...waiting on one more...but for now...







Robinson in the "new" Swingman cut...was hoping it was old. Oh well.







Old vs new Swingman (M vs L)


Funny enough though...new Swingman vs Champion Authentic size 48 (XL)
 
Can someone knowledgable reveal more info about those MJ Bulls Swingmans. What year/s were they produced? Did they make a home or alternate version? My mind is blown that these were produced, I always thought Swingman 23 Jordan's (besides the 8403 Pinstripe) were fake! :nerd:

So how it was explained to me on JC or PJT was that during the very early days of the Swingman jersey (like around 1999), Nike made a finite number of Jordans, despite him being out of the league by then. I don't remember if it was explained to me as a sample run or just a limited number to see how they'd sell, but notice that they have the split side at the hem, which is not characteristic of the Nike Swingman. Make of that what you will. It was fascinating to me since this is the man who wouldn't even appear in NBA Live or Courtside (hello, Roster Player), but my jersey brethren insist that it didn't matter if Jordan okayed it or not, and that the NBA owned the rights to make it.

Anyone else, feel free to chime in or correct me.

Is there really no "length +2" on the tag?

I had some really old Swingman jerseys without +2 length, so that might've been a first-run thing and not necessarily a red flag. There's nothing that really jumps out at me as wrong. I mean, the shoulders are the right width and the jock tag is placed correctly. Were Swingman jerseys made in Korea? That's the only thing I don't really know about.

Yeah, the first swingman jerseys didn't have the +2 length tag.

The nike swingman jerseys I have are made in Honduras and in Korea.
