[QUOTE="g-time, post: 32010211,
I was at lids locker room the other day when I picked up those rocket swingmans and they had the raptors purple swingmans and it looked like the used like an actual purple/red/black trim sewn or heat pressed on the bottom. They look real cheap looking. That’s why I’ve been trying to find the authentics.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, unfortunately I actually once owned a pair of those purple ones...omg they were so cheap looking. It was thick *** screen print and not in a good way. Looked like they designed that joint with flex seal lol. Like you said even the trimming at the bottom, it wasn't trimming it was thick screen print to make it look like trimming.
The white ones are legit. It looks like its sublimated into the material which is nice. Either that or they used a super thin layer of screen print, but it looks real good. Damn, I can't believe they sold out too smh...how long does mitchell and ness take to restock? I need those and the jazz mountain authentics.
***Side note, it also looks that way with the orlando magics white swingmans. They switched up the material on those too. Prior orlando swingmans had actual trimming and the star was stitched on the bigger outline. Now it looks like they took out the trimming for sublimated printed trimming and only sewed on the little inner star.
