[gwizzle]

What’s so bad about the Jordan swingman? Got me hella sad to get my package tomorrow I’m one who actually prefers the swingman vs authentic, so just wanted to hear some opinions

Lol I’m sure it’s the same as any orher swingman!

If you don't own a Jordan jersey from back in the day, you should be good. It's mainly the older heads such as myself who aren't fond of these swingmans. I own swingmans and authentics from back in the late 90s/early 2000s, and truth be told, the quality on these new joints is barely a step above from the silk-screened replicas. The numbers and letters feel cheap and they are heat-pressed.

Oh ok gotcha. Ya I grew up on Champion jerseys so I never expect much from the ones I buy now lol hell I got clowned for wearing discount $30 WC 3’s because all the other kids had the X’s. Funny how times change #BrokeBoy

I ordered the Jordan swingman and received it on Saturday. It was an impulse buy. I tried it on and then repackaged it for a return. No real reason to keep it when I already have a M&N Jordan jersey. It's the same as any other Nike swingman. If you want a Jordan jersey and don't want to spend $300 on a throwback, the Nike jersey is a decent option. Yes, it is a 2018 jersey of a player who retired 15 years ago so it's not historically accurate to his time, but who cares.

imo putting jordan on a 2018 bulls jersey is corny. Nike starting a new retro (hardwood classic) line would be a better look.

But hey if they sell they sell.

Yoooo Jimmy Jazz got the all star jerseys for 60 bucks. And then 20% off. Wasn't a huge fan but might scoop for that price.

I hope Nike does way better with the all star jerseys next year. This year's was the most phoned in I've ever seen. They looked like practice jerseys.

the quality of authentics went down more then the quality of swingmans went down from the 90's 2000's..... when i would go to the nba store every 2 weeks to get a new jersey ,,, the quality and feel was great........ authentic now are a joke but we learn to accept mediocrity ,,, especially when adidas was charging 300 so nike could charge 200 and everyone feels like were getting a deal ...lol

never been a fan of swingmans but the quality to me is close enough.... nothing too distinctive ...but people will dismiss them because they purchased a few authentic

all star jerseys are straight trash ... wouldnt touch them...... wouldnt touch the jordan/ kobe/ bird or any other old player in a 2017/18 jersey

but buy what you like....

 

[itshlittt]

nobody gonna post the mj swingman tho?

 

[big1236]

Okay guys - I went and got an nba finals patch but was told that the warriors team store at the arena didn't iron them on (don't know why they did it last year) and they still don't know if they're going to get nba finals jerseys.

Where can i go to get the patch ironed onto my jersey?? I'm in the bay btw, preferrably somewhere between richmond and san leandro... LOL

Try a soccer shop . They always do iron on for the custom jerseys and stuff

 

[joaridran23]

Here they are guys.. Pictured next to M&N no comparison imo. Still I guess the red swingman looks better than the white.

 

[superstarlord]

Got the red swingman coming today, not feeling confident in keeping it so far, but we'll see. Makes me wonder why they opted for just the white letters on the back, even the authentic apparently has it, when they're hyping this up to coincide with the Last Shot, and he had the black letters with the white outline, like on the M&N. Laziness perhaps.

That looks like a hell of a jersey collection you got there joaridran23

How much did the patch cost? You might be able to glue it. I don’t think the nba logo can take much heat before it gets wrecked.

 

[big daddy 8523]

Btw I got my swingman in a white Jordan one a few mins ago. The sizing says 60 on the tag but snkrs said 58 was a 3xl when I ordered tho. The tag on the inside also said 3xl. Anyone have that happen on these swingman jerseys?

My guess is because they made it exactly like the current team jersey.

Yea just seems lazy, ah well.

 

[superstarlord]

Underwhelming for sure, and the nike connect app is giving me "network errors" when trying to tap into it, even though it worked with a lebron and a kyrie just now. Ah well, gotta send something else back to Nike today so this is going back as well, should have just passed on it to begin with but I got caught up in the hype.

I think this is supposed to be part of the whole 'Last Shot' release this month.
