EagleFan344 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Are all NBA jerseys the same shiny material now? I know last year when Nike and Reebok both made them they werent but since only Reebok makes them is every teams jersey the same material? What about the HWCL?

Alphabet Man Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 After walking through the NBA Store at NBA Madness in Melbourne in October/ November, i had a look at the jerseys.....they look abit like the material used for the Soccer shirts but they aren't, they all seemed to be the same stuff, but i think cos they are not the stuff the NBA players wear, it is made from different material twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 All of the NBA and WNBA uniforms are made in Reebok's contract plant in Perry, NY(Southwest of Rochester). I know the plant's owner and I beleive all the NBA jerseys they make are out of a moisture-wicking flatback polyester mesh. It's very light weight and doesn't absorb the persperation, which helps keep them a bit drier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the Cavaliers used the same material but if you remember when Carlos Boozer played for them last year his jersey would always be darker than the others because she sweated so much!

slapshot Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 It's hard to tell that the Celtics and Nuggets uniforms are made from the same material. Maybe they start with the same moisture-wicking base (Reebok's PlayDry, I think) and then some have a shiny coating added later on. I'm just guessing on this, maybe the shiny uniforms are the Play Dry interwoven with silken polyester, this is possible if everyone starts out with the same fabric.
