Slater Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 This is a recently-acquired replica (tag says "Reebok Onfield"). It's one of the "Premier" replicas and, never having owned one before, I'm pretty satsfied with it. What's the difference between the Premier jerseys and the authentic onfield types? Overall better materials/workmanship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 "Premier" replica looks to be the same as what was called EQT. Numbers and lettering a tackle twill and sewn on. The different is that if the numbers and letters are multicolored, the different colors are screened into the twill, and a fake stitching pattern is printed between the colors. So it's one digit/character sewn onto the jersey, but all the different colors of the character are dyed into it.Normally, each color is sewn on and layered separately (or the outlines are sewn on, depending on the team).Replicas are also sized by S-M-L-XL-XXL etc instead of numbers (48, 50, 52, 54...etc).There may be other differences, but this is what I've seen personally.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The sleeves are tighter on authentics also, they have that scrunchy type material...That's an awesome jersey btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think the material used on the different parts of the jersey are different for authentics as well. The Bears jerseys are mesh, even on the shoulders, and all the Premier jerseys have the dazzle (or whatever they call it) shoulder material.I really like the Premier jerseys. It's a lot better quality than the replicas without a huge difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 From nflshop.com's Jersey Buyer's Guide:===Premier jerseys are made with slightly heavier fabric than Replica jerseys and have sewn-on numbers and names. These jerseys fall in-between the on-field Authentic jerseys and the Replica jerseys.===There's a lot more there in the table comparing Replicas vs. Premier vs. "Authentic" (they're never exactly like those worn on the field no matter what NFL Properties tries to sell/tell us).

tvko Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 A lot of leagues do this. Usually it goes In order of worst to best: replica, [adjective], authentic. The replicas are not worth buying while the premier/swingman are more affordable and decent quality. I would never buy an authentic because the price is massive and the title is misleading.

DeFrank Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I now am always getting premier. Used to get replicas but from now on... They are such an improvement for only twenty more bucks. I think authentic's are like stretchy and small sleeves...THIS IS AUTHENTIC concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 So, with reference to the original picture, the actual game jersey would have sewn-on sleeve horn logos,correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 For reference, this is an EQT jersey that I bought a few years ago. Everything is sewn on except for the sleeve logos (excluding the T.V. numbers). I guess "Premier" is a new name for EQT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 1 - are the numbers really sewn on, or twill that's simply glued on?2. Is that even the correct number font for those jerseys? Shouldn't the inside of the numbers be square? "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Lights Out Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 You're right, BBTV - that is the incorrect number font. Good catch. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 As far as the Rams jersey, the numbers are all sewn on. Whether the number font is accurate or not, I can't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The NFL needs to follow the NBA's lead and drop the price of their replicas. Sure NBA replicas aren't perfect, but you can't beat the $35 price tag. That's cheaper than some 59Fiftys.

CitizenTino Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The NFL actually has a lower-grade replica in the $35 price range sold at stores like JC Penney. Those are on par with the NBA low-level replicas in terms of accuracy in design compared to the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
