Different Styles of Basketball Jerseys

There are really 4 different styles you can have for a basketball jersey. They are replica basketball jerseys, pro-cut basketball jerseys, authentic basketball jerseys, and swingman basketball jerseys.

All of these jerseys have there advantages and disadvantages. All are high quality, but some are better quality then others. They all also have different cuts and trims causing their different styles. The prices on them is different as well. These factors will help you decide which style is right for you.

Replica Basketball Jerseys: Replica basketball jerseys are the cheapest of them all. They have the same styling as the authentic jerseys, but have screen printed lettering. They are also made of lighter material.

Pro-Cut basketball Jerseys: These jerseys are the real deal. They are exactly like authentic basketball jerseys, but are designed and sized for each individual player. They are not sized for the fan. These are truly what the pros wear, but that comes at a price.

Swingman Basketball Jerseys: These are the most commonly worn jerseys. They are less expensive than authentic basketball jerseys, but still carry many of the same qualities. They letters and numbers are stitched on, but only single stitched. It is made of nice fabric, but different holes for better breathability for a fan. They look like the real thing, but are made for the fan in price and quality.

Authentic Basketball Jerseys: These are the real ones worn on the court, so they can often be too large for fans. They are double stitched. Authentic jerseys are cut with the same trim, fabric and application as the pros, but sized for fans.

These styles are true for adult basketball jerseys to youth basketball jerseys through kids basketball jerseys.

Best Stores to Buy Basketball Jerseys

There are many places you can go to buy basketball jerseys, and they will all offer different advantages. One store might have cheap basketball jerseys while the other might have custom basketball jerseys. Therefore, the store you go to depends on what you want.

The first store to look at is Walmart. They truly are the king of cheap basketball jerseys. These jerseys will not be authentic and will not be up to standards, but they will be cheap. The prices will be in the 20$ range which will be at least half the price you will spend at other stores, so if cheap, but not officially real is what you want, go to Walmart.

The next store you could go to is Champs. At champs they will have your retro basketball jerseys, authentic basketball jerseys, and every college and NBA basketball jersey most people would want. There prices will be retail, so pretty high. They do though, always have great deals on outdated jerseys. This is especially nice for college basketball jerseys, because they do not have a name on them so who cares if you have an old star players number who doesn’t play anymore. For example, I got a duke basketball jersey of a player who had just left, but a new player took his number, so who could even know. Champs also has membership discounts and worker discounts, so there are other ways to lower the prices.

The next place you could look is Good Will or any other second hand store because people always get rid of their old jerseys. What people do not realize is that these old jerseys could be that players best jersey. You never know what will happen on the next team he plays for. Second hand stores also have a good variety of youth basketball jerseys because kids grow out of them. So if you are not obsessed with getting new, go to a second hand store and buy a jersey.

There are other places out there that I have not highlighted, but I did get the three main different types. So go to where you feel conformable and to the place that fits your individual style.
