Nike NBA Apparel and Jersey Thread: 2017-18 NBA Season Takeover

[illustrayt]

Looks like Bron staying #23

If they don’t release Authentics, I’d settle for the shirt. I refuse to purchase any Swingman jerseys lol

 

[g-time]

you think w/lebron keeping #23 that AD might leave? I know its a long shot.

he already says he plans to resign with the lakers.

Is this really a serious question?

The stuff I see on NT lol

 

[Cladyclad]

Yea from all reports I’ve seen, he’s sticking with 23. Nike wouldn’t be producing 20/21 jerseys with the wrong number.

Double dip is what Nike would want

 

[zrno]

Picked up the white Lebron for the 20/21 season. No design changes since last year. They did change the tags though. It’s attached at the top and they got rid of Nike connect. I guess the app will be retired soon

man i was scrolling back and i'm now in love with this jersey. i'm keeping an eye on a restock now

 

[shaw333]

Haha man if I didn’t get this from the team store I would have 100% pegged it for a knockoff.

I got hammered for getting a wish patch from eBay/Hong Kong earlier, but my patch for the icon and statement jerseys look 100’s closer to the real deal that’s on this jersey than this jersey looks to the jerseys I got directly Nike.

laker store is customized. I would avoid buying from them if you want accurate twill. The real twill is not shiny like the laker store one is.

even the lebrons are customs? yikes i'd understand if the roleplayers were custom jobs

It’s not just the numbering. The piping going up the jersey isn’t straight. You can see the design from the side paneling on the wrong side, ie shows on the front and the back of the jersey. If you look at the purple of the stripe you’ll see what I mean. A blank should be a blank from Nike. Some variation sure, but this is a bgrade at best

I’m pretty sure nobody else sold the authentic lore series jersey outside of the team store for the lakers this year.

They'd take a hit after producing those.

my Lebron was a custom. Bought few weeks ago.

I don’t think the custom work goes beyond the name and numbers. The actual jersey has to be Nike made.

This is correct.

The "customs" from the team stores add the numbers & name on back.

I was looking at the Wish patches on ebay too. I hate that the Purple patch has yellow text, whereas the patch on the actual Laker jersey has white text. I did manage to get a yellow one from ebay and I'll compare it to the Icon authentic i got from the Lakera store one of these days

I prefer the custom twill it seems to be thicker and makes the jersey heavier like the old authentics. The actual authentics from Nike just feel flimsy. I understand the purpose of a lighter jersey but im not playing ball in it lol the thinness just gives me 90's Champion Replica vibes. Doesnt feel like an auth

The twill doesn’t match the logo on the front though. The logo is lighter aNd matte.

Damn I didn’t even realize the purple was the patch from the 18-19 jersey. I never thought it would change. That’s sucks because I have mine at eps getting them on along with the Kobe patches

 

[ronaldo nazario]

So for Lakers authentic, for those of you not purchasing from the LakersStore, are you just rocking without Wish patch? Not that the authentic are ever even available from LakersStore, but I'm confused. What exactly is different about the custom ones from LakersStore, the material they are using for the name and numbers?

 

[sicembu]

I have a few customs from the Hangar in Dallas. My skyline and white Luka were customs. What's crazy is the custom white Luka I have matches the number color better than the one from Nike. It's too light compared to what they wear on court. I hope they fix it this season because I'll buy another one if it's close.

My authentic purple statement LeBron jersey from Lakers store came with the Wish patch with the white text

Well I got the patch from eBay/Hong Kong but only the yellow is correct. So I have eps sewing the stern band/eBay wish patch/Kobe patch on the yellow authentic from ndc and the purple I had them hold the wish patch until I can find the correct one with white font. The patch I got is from last years lore series jersey. I’ll rock it without the wish patch until can find the correct one.

I only spent 140 and 160 on them from ndc so the patch isn’t worth 50+ to me.

There’s a sheen on the ones from the lakerstore on the name and numbers. It’s not a major thing. Honestly it seems like the lakers logo on this new city jersey seems to have the same sheen I doubt 99.9% of people would notice the difference between the ndc and the lakerstore jersey number/lettering

 

[shaw333]

My authentic purple statement LeBron jersey from Lakers store came with the Wish patch with the white text

I didn’t get the statement from the lakers store. Mine was from ndc that’s why I needed to try and source a patch

 

[Lì Qí]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try it

UPDATE!

Tried the Goof Off and it just wasn't doing much good, so I googled the Celtics font template, went to a local embroidery/print shop, and had them slap on an R for my first name. I'm pretty happy with it but kind of want to see if someone else can tackle twill over it to mimic the stitching later.
