Blank: $355 Pre-customized: $395 Pick your own name and number: $430 At least they are listed as being made in the USA. I thought for sure they'd pull an NHL and start selling non-authentic Authentics. Yes, that made me think of the people that make these jerseys..... most likely still the people in Easton, PA , the Majestic factory workers? i wonder what they think of these new jerseys they have to make...... these were not robots or Chinese slave workers, most of them were invested in what they were doing, they did a good job, only rarely would you get jerseys with errors. First they had to put the Nike logo on the front, now this inferior on field product. Would love to know what they think, and also see them make the new jerseys! - 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike's new NBA jerseys cannot stop falling apart. https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/11/6/16612728/nike-nba-jerseys-ripping-tearing-lebron-james Also, I'm tired of everyone parroting their line about "xx% lighter/engineered/etc". It's simple: every millimeter of fabric saved, every patch printed, every fabric swapped is multiplied by millions. It's not bad enough they pay slave wages, More for the bottom line. We complain for a few weeks and then just eat the slop. FWIW I think NBA Authentic jerseys (now) are good quality and feel like a well thought out garment. It has zonal ventilation and nice quality embellishments, finished with a rubber/silicone nba logo. MLB quality just looks a mess. And I hate to admit it but i've come around to the truncated shoulder stripes. Oddly enough all jersey trim is placed over the jersey body and sewn on as opposed to it being separate from it. Which is the opposite of what nike did in baseball. They went from trim on top of fabric to separate trim - and so far it does not look good. I think it was Eric Bodamer who designed for Adidas/NHL who said that when Adidas took over the league they took into account how fans perceive the look and feel of authentic jerseys. You don't want a heavy jersey, but you want embroidery and twill and just overall materials that feel substantial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backlash from the players over the new uniforms has gotten so loud that the union is now getting involved and demanding remedies. I doubt we are going to see wholesale changes, but I think things for MLB/Nike/Fanatics have gotten past the point of hoping this just blows over if they wait it out. Shame that the one pictured is the Marlins’ long-awaited blue shirt. I hope the template has to change, but I also hope they don’t get rid of the blue when it does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 To what extent was the players' union consulted on these new uniforms? They're the ones who have to wear them. We're not talking about player input for aesthetic purposes, but more like "will your pants split." 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Phillies have gone back and forth, seemingly at whim, between cuff trim being sewn around the end of the sleeve and the stripes being on a piece of elastic, like we're seeing with the Reds. I've never felt the elastic looks good. Among other reasons, the stripes are thicker.

We don't have to like it, but there they are, can't really get around them. The idea that you have to pay twenty dollars extra for the privilege of wearing an advertiser's logo on a jersey that's already priced like high-end designer wear... Man, it takes some absolute brass ones to try that move. 7 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

That's one of the issues players have is they said that there would be adjustable pants and now they're being told pants can't be adjusted. I forget where I read that as there are so many articles on the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Hard to see, but looks like the Braves have the perforated numbers on their alternates. If you zoom in, you can see them on the bottom left part of Acuna’s “3.” This comes after their home whites were shown without the perforations at a fan fest event. A few other clubs have shown similar situations (such as the Mets, no perforations on their pinstripes but they have them on their blue jerseys). My guess is the ball clubs didn’t love how pronounced the white poked through against the dark numbers, but were willing to concede to Nike on alternates where they may not be as visible (for example, the Braves blue jersey bleeding through the red numbers is not very noticeable). At least this appears to be a choice and not mandated by Nike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Paul mentioned this on Uni Watch today, but man, the slightly see through pants need a total rework. You can see the jersey material under the pants, including the silhouette, jock tags, and pinstripes. This is not the move, Nike! Apparently the see through pants are not a new thing, though. Here are some images from the Majestic era (check out #70 and #63) where you can see the jocktags just as easily as the 2024 Nike pants. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
