Does anyone have a standard guide on jerseys? Like, what companies had the license from what year to another. As well as what jersey sizes were produced?
Besides Rawling and Sandknit. It was Champion, then Nike/Puma/Starter, and then Nike again, followed by Reebok and Adidas?
Champion was from 9x-97 or so? Can anyone fill in the blanks?
As well, Champion produced size 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52?
Nike white tag were in the same sizes?
Puma/Starter size ??
Nike 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, and 60?
Reebok Same as Nike, without the 36 maybe?
Adidas ??
Can anyone confirm as well the off sizes, such as 46 and 50 and what not? Are the legit or is it only pro cut?
Also, the fit of the jerseys? I know that Reebok size 44 fit like 48, and 52 fit like 56, and so on. How consistent are the others?
I believe Champion did jerseys starting from the 1990-91 season, then starting in the 97-98 season there were all those different companies making jerseys at the same time. However, Champion jerseys were made in the early 2000s (there's lots of Iverson, TMac and Clippers Champion jerseys floating around, none of which are made in the U.S.A. like the authentics from the 90s). Champion authentics went from sz 40-48 in the 90s, and up to either sz 56 or 60 in the 2000s, of course pro cuts and team issued jerseys were in all sizes. Nikes were made in sz 36-60, very few sz 36 jerseys were ever made though. Same goes for Adidas. I don't recall seeing a sz 36 for Reebok, but its definitely possible they made them.
I don't know about much about Puma/Starter sizing, I know Starter made size 46 though. Anytime you see a size 50 its either a pro cut/game issued jersey or its fake. Either way there should be different tagging for NIke/Adidas/Reebok jerseys that are non-traditional sizes. Champion jerseys fit smaller than the others, but there's variation between teams, some size 48's fit like 44's for instance. Nike, Reebok and Adidas have pretty consistent sizing.
