nitroseed Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 So, for Christmas, I got an authentic Jason Kapono jersey (#24 for the Bobcats), and I just received it this afternoon. I must tell you... this jersey is gorgeous. I'm in love with it. It's so unbelievably comfortable to wear and very smooth to the touch. I thought I'd share some detailed views of the jersey for you uni-nuts. Note: Click on the picture to enlarge it. Front and back view of the jersey.An up-close view of the wordmark and number 24 on the front. The craftsmanship is very, very nice. And I actually noticed that the wordmark slopes and curves upward at the bottom. It always looked crooked to me on TV. But, looking at it still, it looks wonderful.A more detailed shot of the number 24 on the back. Again, great craftsmanship. A flat look at the side paneling. I absolutely love the design of this. It's by far my favorite jersey in the NBA. You can notice on the closeup of the paneling the difference in the venting pattern on the jersey. The main cloth in orange is actually microvented. There are vent holes, but they are extremely tiny in comparison to the standard venting that the side panel has.Some other notes: The material is extremely light, and does not feel stiff at all. It's incredibly flexible and doesn't bunch up and cause awkward folds when you're wearing it.Hope you guys enjoy the pics. Go Bobcats! Oh, and some people asked me to post a larger version of my Bobcats tweak that I have in my avatar, so here you go! Enjoy! (Steal it and I will crucify you.)

TruColor Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'll pass on your sentiments to Tom O'Grady - the guy who was in charge of designing those things.I have to admit - they did a great job in color-balancing all five colors...Orange, Blue, Black, Silver and White. It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Oh yeah, almost forgot one other small detail: the "white" buffer around the armholes and the side paneling actually isn't white. On the side paneling, it's a metallic silver, and on the armholes, it's a flat gray.And yes, please tell Mr. O'Grady that he did a fantastic job and to call me if he ever feels like sending me a white authentic Okafor jersey to review....

DEAD! Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 How long do you think Kapono will be with the team? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilaLogos Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 hes a nice role player, i'd give him at least 3-5 more years. Although some of these guys stick around. They look pretty nice, although AAO's uni's with your logo would be, for lack of better smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleFan344 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 So is it worth the extra $75 for the authentic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 The black shadow effect on the wordmark and numbers - is it a seperate piece of twill, with white twill stitched on top of it so it is two layers, or one layer with both the black and white? I've yet to see one of the bobcat auth's up close, but this looks pretty darn nice. My only beef is with the italicized numbers (at least on the front.) I think a more plain number would make the wordmark appear more dynamic.

EagleFan344 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Is the outline on the number black or navy blue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a completely false rumor...I emailed the designer about it, and he got a good laugh about it.Never was even considered. An Urban Legend.
