Official Mitchell and Ness Thread: Jerseys, Hats, Shirts, Shorts, Questions POST EM UP

Wasn’t trying to single you out btw. In general the jerseys fit horrible. I don’t think your partner would’ve fit that size either

Sizing up may be required for a comfortable normal fit

I had to size up in NBA jerseys with the new cut.

I'm a 2xl in M&N baseball and football but basketball I have to go to 3xl or it fits way too tight.
 
Mitchell & Ness sizing has been trash for awhile. Not to mention they can’t execute a properly sized neck opening in their baseball jerseys.
 
They sent me the wrong stuff my last order. I msged them and they said theyd send the correct item, and theyll send me a shipping label to return the original shipment. Never received a label so i never sent the wrong items back. The right stuff came in a few days later.
I got the new one in and sent the old one back. But the old one departed a facility near them on the 18th and hasn’t shown anything sense. I just don’t want to end up charged for both jerseys or something.
 
For real. That Bo and that Aaron I posted are an XL which is my normal size in their baseball jerseys, but they (Bo more so than Aaron) fit like a large. I had bought a few of those turn ahead the clock jerseys and those were almost skin tight in my size. I’m going to have to sell the Bo because it was a Final Sale item.
 
It’s def a tad tight but it was 160 on ebay thanks to someone who posted it in here so I couldn’t complain
I wish they did a Regular and short version Like 44 R or 44 Short… lmao I am on the same bout… I can’t fit 40… 5’7 a 44 fits like I’m Orko on the Masters of the universe but yeah it’s that Cut… I don’t know how they ended up doing that cookie cutter… does the OG champions Cut like that?
 
It's a crazy coincidence that I interacted with Deklef Schrimps Deklef Schrimps about the black Penny Hardaway authentic jersey today, then I came across this on eBay shortly afterwards.

It's going to be quite ironic with me inquiring about swingman jerseys because of my reiterated hatred for them.

But do fake swingman jerseys actually exist? We all know fakes have been so common with authentic versions forever now.

I stumbled on this listing on eBay.

^^^So it this one a fake swingman jersey?

Would they really bootleg a replica version of a jersey? Please educate me.

Swingmans are bootlegged on the regular. Whether it was Nike, adidas, reebook, or even champion. They sell for about $20-$30.
 
I REALLY wish M&N would stop labeling the Orlando black road jersey as the alternate. They need to stop that foolishness.

I think I noticed that listing discrepancy myself.

Perhaps they were confused because the Magic wore that alternate royal blue more than the default black road jersey when they started wearing them later on in the '90s.

Thanks for verifying that. I never thought that was possible because I assumed they would only prefer to bootleg a more expensive version of any popular item.

So is that black Magic jersey I inquired about a bootleg?

It is indeed a bootleg swingman. The wide shoulders are asinine and don’t belong on a magic jersey. You can also tell by the shiny bubbly twill used for the player’s last names, that same twill is also reminiscent on bootleg authentics

Yes they are. Shape looks off - it has wide shoulders.

Compare the shape to this:

How’s the neck opening on the Aaron? They couldn’t mess up he Bo since the collar is unique, however they stay giving us the drunk collar in the neck opening with their other baseball jerseys.

Thanks for clarifying, gentlemen.

I forgot to mention the shape and width of the shoulders myself despite noticing it. I also noticed the stitching looks actually cheaper and flimsier more than an actually legitimate swingman jersey. I did also notice the name on back looked off for some reason.

I'm going to admit I'll be on the hunt for swingman jerseys on eBay occasionally if they're cheap because I should have ways to repurpose them into more valuable goods or favorable situations for myself if I were to get them from there.

The Aaron’s collar is fine. The Bo actually fits weird in the shoulders and is kind of shorter than usual
 
Never really felt the baseball jerseys had a wide collar, but i also havent bought anything in the past maybe 4 or 5yrs. Felt like mine fit how baseball jerseys tend to fit
 
Although I previously posted a photo of this jacket clarifying that it was my favorite NBA warmup jacket ever, I'm finally posting a picture of myself wearing it after having it for about 9 years now.

I think I'm going to stick with my stance that the Magic jacket from the '90s is the best NBA warmup jacket ever. I always wear it with the 2015 Nike Foamposite Sharpie. I decided to wear them yesterday.

Their button up jerseys are way off. The pullovers seem to be somewhat fine.
 
It’s def a tad tight but it was 160 on ebay thanks to someone who posted it in here so I couldn’t complain

From a sizing perspective, its either you have more room if you size up or its fitted like how you pictured. My personal experience is that when I size up to say xxl , it has more room (not like 2000's baggy fit but it "hangs" a bit, while the length is a lil bit of a problem as i would have preferred 1-2 inches shorter.

Took a gamble and recently bought the pippen version of the jersey you got in an XL, we'll see how they fit lol.

Otherwise your fit is fine especially how you matched it up with the xiis. This thread just mad you didnt do full wanker fit or wore a long tee/ jean shorts underneath.

Someone on here clearly can't interpret that nobody on this thread was mad about how fenixconnexion. fenixconnexion. wore his stuff or tried to dictate how he should wear it. What's worse is someone lacked common sense to differentiate between a long/tall tee versus a regular t-shirt.

That's nice that you got the best deal you could find and made it work for you regarding being able to wear it despite it not being your size.

They are surprisingly hard to find, even on Ebay. This one's a 2013 run.

Like I said, I haven't seen them online for four years now.

Mine has the same front lower left tag as yours, except mine is a fall 2017 production as stated on the inside label.

I don’t mind the baggier fit with shorts but with fitted jeans it just looked weird to me. Regardless beggars can’t be choosers so i have to stick with what I have :lol
