rmackman Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Michael Redd presents his jersey to a fan before the start of Monday’s game. In a pregame ceremony, Michael Redd gave an autographed jersey to a fan. It's Redd's last game as a Bucks player, although not sure the ceremony was really that warranted. Regardless, look at the jersey he's handing out, and look at the NBA Store authentic jersey they're selling. Looks like Redd's jersey he's handing out has a thicker number font. Is this a change due to the new style of Adidas jerseys they're wearing, or did someone screw up the jersey that Redd is carrying? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I doubt the fan would care, nor would I...it's an autographed jersey presented personally by a star player (when healthy).Besides, it if were an authentic, the numbers might fall off!

deliver2david Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The only real authentics are the ones the players actually wear. Anything you buy at the NBA Store may try to look authentic, but they aren't ever quite exact even if they do get pretty close in some cases.It's basically...1. Game worn2. Authentic3. Replicain terms of jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I don't follow the Bucks, why is it his last game? Team not going to re-sign him? Body too beat up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysoccer12 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 It looks like it was their last home game of the season, so they did the standard fan appreciation day, jersey off their back promotion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I don't follow the Bucks, why is it his last game? Team not going to re-sign him? Body too beat up?A little bit of both. The Bucks aren't expected to resign him, but he said he's not retiring from the NBA completely, either.

They were allegedly the same ones that would be issued to players, with the longer tails and all that. They ran $500. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

rmackman Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 To my eye, the numbers look good:(From the official 2010-2011 Uniform Style Guide.)Hmm...so maybe the thinner numbers they put on the NBAstore jerseys are not quite as "authentic" as I thought.

rmackman Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 What thinner numbers? Do you have a pic?Look at the jersey I posted below the photo of Michael. Unless I'm seeing things, the jersey appears to have thinner numbers. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.
