Hello everyone, here is Xcin, your personal sports equipment consultant.
Today we focus on the jersey to popularize some of the common types of jersey versions of the difference and purchase suggestions on the market, dry goods and more yo.
1990——2001
In the 1990s, Chamber became an exclusive sponsor of the NBA
The oldest jersey brand we can generally buy on the market at present is it, and it is also from the beginning of the champion, the jersey has become more beautiful, the team's logo is no longer a simple letter, but added some tricks, of which the most circulated, the most popular is:
magic
Raptors
76 people shooting stars
Not only because of the whimsical logo design, but more importantly, the blessing of the three of the four quarterbacks gives them more meaning.
Champion can now find most of the rep (offset) version and AU (player) version, due to some years, the rep version of the jersey may have a little cracking, size situation (compared to the latest Nike jersey, the following are) for the length is small, the bust is a little wider, the current price is between 200 -300; the AU version of the logo and number are embroidered, the jersey size length is a little longer, the bust is normal, the price varies by product, Basically at 500 up.
After 97 years, in addition to Nike and Champion, starter also has a pivotal position, if you are lucky enough to get a starter-sponsored jersey, it is indeed a rarity, the size length is a little smaller, the bust is normal. (Unfortunately, it didn't open up a good market in China, and starter is popular in North America.) ）
Nike's jersey workmanship at this stage is very good, and it can be said that the current Nike new jersey is hanging.
Whether it is the fan version or the AU version is embroidered, but the jersey material has a slight difference, the most seen on the market is the fan version, as well as some warm-up clothes, the size is large in both length and bust; if you have a Joe helper's first year Nike AU jersey, it is definitely a treasure, because it is rare.
At present, the vast majority of the Reebok we commonly see is the fan version, it is worth mentioning that even if it is the fan version, the workmanship of the Reebok jersey is also very praiseworthy, it can be said that it is very conscientious.
Adidas spent $3.8 billion to acquire Reebok in 2005, and after 2006, Adi contracted the exclusive NBA agent for ten years, and it was from this time that various versions of jerseys began to emerge in an endless stream. In 2006-09, Adi's overall situation of the jersey was not much different from Reebok.
At this point, we have divided the years before the R30 was born into the "old jersey era", based on the fact that the workmanship is excellent, and the logo and number of the player version and the fan version are embroidered. Let's introduce the differences between them.
(Because the little brother's old jerseys are all fan versions, the AU version is not bought because of personal ability, only know that the embroidery is multi-layered)
Experienced big guys are welcome to leave a message below the public account or discuss in our [Hard Player] community):
1. Embroidery
(The three jerseys below, Nike in red, Reebok in purple, and Adi in green)
The embroidery of the old Nike fan version jersey and the embroidery texture of the Reebok jersey are similar (I noticed that they are both korean), both of which are slightly thicker than the old Adi, but also relatively soft and not easy to produce creases; the embroidery of the old Adi (Honduras) jersey is as single-layer embroidered as the first two, but it is thinner, the softest, and the comfort after the upper body is better than the first two.
2. Cloth
Adi's material is more shiny and more elastic, and when it is pulled open, it will find that the gap in the middle will be very large, and it feels very refreshing and comfortable when wearing.
The threads of Reebok and old Nike are a little thinner than those of old Adi, and when they are put on, they feel "thick and simple"
3. Details
Whether it's from the hem of the label or the handling of the trace, the old Nike and Reebok are much stronger than the old Adi.
4. Purchase Recommendations
The "old jersey era" has been some years old, can not withstand excessive washing, especially with color embroidery will fade the phenomenon, so this kind of jersey I do not recommend everyone to buy to fight.
There is also a silky cotton version of the old jersey, which is beautiful on the upper body, but easy to hook up, and is not very breathable compared to the front.
By 2010
The era of the Adidas R30 has arrived
Revolution 30, light and breathable, easy to dry and washable, it is still active in the market to this day, is a favorite of many practical parties. The price is still around 400, and even if you are lucky, you can still meet more than two hundred.
This jersey is very comfortable, the AU version of the logo and number are all mesh embroidery, the fabric and SW are also different, in addition to the size and distribution of the ventilation holes, the weaving method is also slightly different, the AU version is more malleable, the elasticity is better!
The logo and number of the fan version are hot prints, which is one of the reasons why many people don't like the fan version - the thin fabric is a little thick, a hard piece, and the experience is not particularly good. So this jersey I recommend that you buy a little bigger, reduce some of the discomfort of the fit, or buy a white jersey to wear to actually - AU feeling, SW price.
Adi's jersey at this stage, whether it is made in Guatemala or Vietnam, the difference is not very big, friends who like Adi products at this stage can pay attention to the appearance of clothing, warm-up clothes, and training clothes, are very good. In this range, if the player version is compared to The Buddha jumping off the wall, then the fan version is only missing some ingredients - it is still more "fragrant" than other similar products.
In 2017
Nike has regained control of the NBA jersey market
I have to say that the workmanship of the first generation of jerseys is indeed general, AU is easy to break, the fan version is heavy, and after washing the logo several times, it will be silky.
Now, with the advent of a new generation of jerseys, some problems have been improved – the jersey has become thinner, the number is one size smaller, and the embroidery and hot stamping are slightly more reasonable.
But I have to admit that the new Nike jersey has some playability, and the fit is suitable for more people - whether your body is wide or narrow, Nike's jersey looks clean and neat when you put it on, while the front jerseys, as long as you buy a bigger one, will look bloated.
In addition, the vintage jersey of the clover is also common to us now, after the acquisition of Reebok Adidas began to crown the clover replica of many stars such as No. 8 Kobe, David Robinson, Duncan, White Chocolate and other jerseys, the texture can refer to the old Adi.
There is also a retro jersey big guy: Mitchell Ness, in the past their jersey quality is very good, generally domestic, but now after the new version, the fan version has been changed to offset printing, the texture is inferior a lot. But there's no denying that you can find a lot of meaningful stuff in their stores, and the jerseys are fairly fit and workmanship, except for some limited editions, which are often replenished.
A few thousand words, can not cover the pit of the entire jersey, but we can generally see the jersey on the market, a variety of performance advantages and disadvantages have been listed here, if there is anything that needs to be added, you can have more interaction. Jerseys are such things, not in more in the fine, collection is not necessarily AU indispensable, SW is not impossible to fight.
A star represents a good memory, a throbbing mood and a restless blood.
Do you owe a jersey?
