Official AUTHENTIC NBA JERSEY Post - Bringin Back the JERSEY ERA... (Info/Guide = Page 1)

number and font name are wrong

in rookie season 8 and name should looks like that

8 has 3 smaller slants and 1 bigger inside 8 circles

it's weird with that font, because in 96/97 some lakers jerseys jackets gets that wider font other the same as above

u can see difference in horry name comparision

but not sure what gets authentic champion jerseys that season. with nike it's all clear. standard font

but 8 is still... hard to copy

Thanks @badboys2  for pics of the proper font. So it is somewhat off. I'll take that into consideration if the price gets out of hand. Thanks

I've been looking into it, and I don't think champion made kobe rookies (for retail). customized, procut, M&N, or bust.

 

[purplemamba]

Custom for sure.. even the seller states it in the auction lol.

And the gold logo patch should be a darker purple. Looks like it was taken off a jersey from another team.

At almost anytime on ebay you can find the gold logo champion signed jerseys whether it be superstar greetings or some other small time company. Problem is they all have the wrong font letters for Bryant.

[purplemamba]

^^ True true...  I had an autographed superstar greetings, but sold it simply due to the incorrect font. Now I kinda regret doing so.

But even those seem to be customized because only the bottom (outer color) twill layer is stitched to the jersey, whereas in retail (machine-made, mass-produced) jerseys, both layers of twill are stitched to the jersey.

 

[Truth]

what about this one? retail or customized? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161688267376?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[badboys2]

even if champion made some kobe retail authentic jerseys

they probablu used incorrect font

that's van exel authentic

see few differences.

btw. 96/97 was last year champion made jerseys for few teams (lakers, bulls, celtics and others)

can't find even shaq shampion authentic jerseys, so maybe they didn't made them? when they know it's their last season...

 

[xavier84]

they did make Shaqs, but the'yre way worse - the numbers look like replica numbers. someone posted one back for a legit check a few pages back I think.

What you're saying is 100% correct. I see we think the same way.

Below is a better example of a VanExel 96-97 gamer.

It's weird that they would change the font for only 1 year, but that's what makes them so rare.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nick-Van-Ex...GZQwb7eu%2FwRZlUnNS7M%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

 

[badboys2]

they didn't change it for 1 year.

problem is they were using it inconsistently for few seasons

most of early 90's gamers are with that font

other with regular

it ended in 97 when nike took champion teams

few pages back, put few photos from 96/97

shaq name was 2 differens styles, the same we see now with van exel and horry.

have no idea why it was like that, would like to know the answer

maybe dan ceniceros know something...

 

[purplemamba]

You're right. I learned something new.

Until today I thought early 90's jerseys all had regular letters like your Ceballos.

I don't think there will ever be an explanation for the letter inconsistency

 

[badboys2]

tought the same

lerned it 2/3 weeks ago when i made solid research

check this out and compare shaq's and elden's fonts...

better quality



most of 91-97 jerseys gets that wider font

but there was excuses

here's 1991  playoffs

different fonts on magic and perkins jerseys, closer look at link below

 

[purplemamba]

That's weird....

Maybe Sand-Knit, and later on, Champion had Lakers uniforms made by 2 different local companies.

Because even the away jerseys were different color purple and didn't match the shorts a lot of the time.

(like Magic's uniform in the second photo)

 

[Bert.]

During the nike days, the celtics jerseys didnt match the shorts (colorwise)

im sure you can find pix. I remember seeing a few of paul piece where they were different shades of green

Never knew this and would love to see pics if anyone can find some.

I have noticed how the lakers jerseys and shorts did not match in pics but not the celtics

 

[Ja's 2¢]

is this the one?

while looking for the pic, found the 50th anni one, wow this was one beautiful uniform set.

 

[Bert.]

nah was referring to the green, might have just been in a magazine where it was different shades. could have sworn i saw on court pix as well

some recent pick ups of mine:









after my terrible experience last year, I am well on my way back on the Penny Pro Cuts, so I will post some more in the next weeks,

just one question, I hope someone call help me out, what are these 3/4 practice pants from the NBA teams called specifically, in the picture below Morris is wearing them?

 

[Bert.]

3/4 pants

they dont sell them retail for some reason. Ive randomly seen a few weeks ago brand new ones pop up on ebay for cheap but they were rather big. Id love to find some adidas/nba ones of any team as long as they were black

Thanks for the quick reply! I have a size S one from the Wizards in color blue, but I am looking for the black ones as well!

 

[eyanks]

Nice black Penny jersey! I've been looking for that one for a while.
