Anubis2051 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Is MLB the only league that prices their Authenics based on how much detail is required?For example, the Yankees home Jersey is $193.99, and only features a number and NY:Whereas the Road, which has the NEW YORK spanning both sides of the jersey and an outlined number is $214.99. Tampa Bay's Jersey's go for $314.99:Does any other league do this? It's interesting to see the variance in costs. In fact this might be the one thing that the Yankees get cheaper than most fans (except for Detroit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The Yankee images don't have the Cool Base logo. Maybe that makes a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Examplewise, the OP did provide a normal vs coolbase, but there are clear price differences with teams with a simple applique and those with multiple layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Cool Base jerseys are more expensive. And $315 for an authentic doesn't sound right. I've never heard it ever exceeding $225 Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess since I never noticed other teams' jerseys that I never realized. Glad my teams jerseys reflect the team well -- cheaper than the othersEDIT: Do you think that the pricing also has something to do with the jersey design itself? I mean, for the A's, they haven't had a new uniform design in over two decades. Whereas the uniforms you just listed, all of them are new within the past 10 years. Go A's!

Sodboy13 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Also, I'm shocked that Texas has the most expensive jersey in the league.They use four-layer numbering and lettering. I'm not shocked at all.

Bouj Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Jersey pricing is based upon the layering of the team name,trim, and the patches. Numbering also varies based on layering. That's why Tigers jerseys cost less than Rangers or Rays jerseys.Back when most teams sold both poly and COOLBASE, the price difference was COOLBASE cost ~$10 more.For example, the cheapest is $158 (OAK/CHW/DET/CIN/CHN/. Assume that is the minimum. The Rays jersey is the most "ornate" and it runs $252.Name & numbering runs from $20 to $75 based on layers & if it's front & back or just back. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I remember, back before leaguewide contracts, prices for authentic NFL jerseys varied from team-to-team, too. And I remember when River City Sports used to have a team-by-team pricing table for NHL jerseys, before they figured out they could just charge the highest price across the board.

Being a Yankees fan, even the replicas piss me off:WHY IS THE NAME THERE??? It'd be cheaper to make it without the name, right? So why bother.

mstein Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The Yankees/MLB don't sell Yankee Cool Base jerseys because they don't wear Cool Base; even on the road. All other authentics, other than throwbacks (or the Rays fauxbacks) are now Cool Base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 This always bothered me about MLB authentic jerseys. I've wanted an authentic Cardinals jersey, but they're super expensive because the Birds on the Bat is chainstitched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
