I like those jerseys. Reminds me of the Kobe VI Orange County’s.

colorways aside. love my team Jerseys but found the new ones made by Nike atrocious due to quality concerns especially the applied paint used for the numbers, name and logo. for the price you pay for the swingman, it's infuriating. authentics though is a different story, love the materials and love the sewn in patches. while the materials on the Nike Authentics are an upgrade definitely for performance, I still miss the old Champion and Mitchell & Ness Adidas Authentic jerseys. anyways, the only thing that I don't like about our NBA basketball Jerseys is that they are ridiculously expensive in comparison to any other and better sports jerseys.

Interesting. I wouldn't know about any of that; I'm way too old to be walking around wearing jerseys LOL

LOL. I know the feeling. it does make you feel out of place. I knew way back when wearing jerseys were cool especially as a teenager. but nowadays, it can be awkward. I sometimes wear them for ballin.

No grandpa's here. Just cant fathom of wearing another man's name on my back. Shoes and clothing lines are different. Bold print names seem personal. But to each his own.
Ordered multiple jerseys with my own last name on the back in the early 00's...

i got Dirks jersey the min he reitred since i know it will be retired and i went with this one
the only other one i was willing to entertain was
but i wanted a more classic look with green in it, though maybe i should still get this one as well, i was gonna get those lows to go with the top jersey til i realized it was purple and not navy blue in the shoe

Speaking of jerseys how’s the fit on the modern Nike Authentic's? I’m looking at getting down with a couple but I haven’t bought a jersey in probably 15 years 
...Nike stuff used to run huge, that’s all I remember...

well for sports enthusiasts, it understandable and more of an accepted norm, also quite jarring like when certain people of this generation don't know certain players eventhough they consider themselves as sports enthusiasts but more like hype enthusiasts. they know the name Jordan but realy dont know or even watched Jordan.
I can understand the awkwardness of wearing someone else's named Jersey but that's the culture that we grew up with and is universally accepted.
I woudn't mind having a custom jersey because I like it. but the problem is, those custom jerseys sold by Nike are just cheap quality sold for a premium. you'd be better off with a cheaper alternative of having someone or a business owner have it 3d-laser printed for you with better precision and materials or using embroidery. for the cost of a typical single custom jersey of $100, you could have 4-5 pairs of jerseys.

I prefer a 48 in the old champion joints and rock a 52 or XL in the Nike if that helps. I wore a Large in the adidas contract era before Nike got it back. If you’re skinny you might could pull the L. I’m a dad and from the baggier era so prefer the XL

I would suggest trying it in-store just to be sure.

I love those green Mavs jerseys. Very under appreciated, IMO.

the Adidas joints were tricky in sizing. I remember ordering a Medium for my brother which was a bit half-way smaller than expected. this was when he was huge. now he could fit in them but I wouldn't since I've grown larger than him. anyway, it's tricky despite what the measurements say.

All my OG stuff is XL and fits me perfect now (Fit me big back in the day but that’s another story )...
Guess I’ll go 2X on these modern ones then...

I've heard this several times, and I will never understand this mindset.

Never had an issue with people wearing jerseys. Don’t see it as that different than wearing a particular athlete’s shoes with his name/logo on it.
I did, however, think it was weird when people were calling athletes/actors/musicians they were fans of “dad”. That’s a bit overboard.

I also have to confess some of my jersey wearing has been with trolling motives. I like to play ball in jerseys, but didn’t want to waste any expensive ones on that. So I’d go to Ross/Marshall’s to pick up jerseys that I’d use for outdoor pick up games.
Got a lot of laughs out of showing up to the courts in Mike Olowokandi and Darko Milicic jerseys

Saw the 25% FTL email and considered ordering the infrared 34s. But ultimately I passed. I got blue voids, and my SEs. Only one left to get is that pair of lows that have older Jordan features in them. I've definitely changed my impulse buying (did that late last year before the pandemic) as last year I would have scooped them up quick for $101 shipped. But my whole outlook on sneakers has changed a bit. Plus with the virus going around, I'm just more aware of what I'm buying. I will grab the Vs though.
