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

I need authentics. The first time in 30 years it’s in Utah, and it probably won’t be back for another 30+.

Want Markkanen, LeBron and Steph, maybe Giannis.
 
There is more going on in terms of details with the authentic

Well the red jersey is similar to the Jazz’s red rock jersey they wore for a few years.

It’d be nice if they incorporated elements of the actual host city into the jersey. It sucks that I had to go to google to figure out where it’s actually being held.
Yeah some cityscape, mountains, or something…the gradient look is alright but it’s a little too plain for me. Onto Indianapolis for 2024 haha.

I don’t think we’ll see an authentic Jazz jersey released this season, so I went the game-used route for the first time ever and got this game-used Collin Sexton jersey on the NBA auctions site.

I have at least two jerseys from every Jazz uniform era and wanted to pick up at least one jersey from this new set.

Some thoughts:
  • The premade retail authentics from Nike or Fanatics are nearly identical to a gamer. Both made in Thailand, little to no difference in weight and materials/stitching/numbers/letters look and feel pretty much the same. Only difference is the gamer has a much slimmer fit.
  • The fit is tight from the waist down, which makes sense it’s supposed to be tucked in. That’s the biggest difference between the gamer and retail authentics.
  • The gamer has a pouch sewn on the inside of one of the side panels to hold a mic for when the player is mic’d up for TV.
  • I wish retail authentics came in a size 46 since it’s the perfect size for me. I usually buy authentics in a size 48 since 44 is too small.

Unfortunately since it’s a Classic we’ll prob only get the Swingman but it’ll def release again at least

So wait 2-3 more years. Got it, Memphis.
 
I don’t even remember seeing the classic Ja dropping so I’ll def take another shot at it. I already have the shorts so I need the jersey to go full wanker :lol:

How you know we not getting retail authentic jerseys from the Jazz? You talk to someone from the team store?

I’m been on the Jazz website almost everyday hoping they drop authentic of this season jerseys butt I only see swingmans so far.

Anybody in SLC could go to the arena store and see if there’s anything there?

Don’t know anything for sure. I’ve been to the arena store a few times this season and they haven’t had any authentics.

I have an authentic Dirk of this style. Stitching is kind of messed up on it but it was the last one one my size so I settled because I like it so much.
