Basketball Jersey

Swingman jerseys typically have one layer of stitched material for the player/ team names and numbers while replica jerseys have the names and numbers screen printed on them. Swingman jerseys are closer to the authentic jerseys since the letters and numbers stitched on. However, they are made with mesh so they have tiny holes in them to allow for air to flow through. Swingman jerseys are great for game play.

Replica jerseys are made from less durable material and the printing, such as the name and number, are screen printed. Sometimes the colors aren't identical to the authentic jerseys, and that's because the sports leagues will authorize other companies, like Adidas, to produce these replicas and they don't always get it right. While they cost a lot less than the authentic version, they are by all means not cheap. They're still made from quality materials and can withstand you cheering for your team at the stadiums and in your living room.

Authentic jerseys have two layers of stitched material used for player/team names and numbers and the materials can be different. These are the exact same jerseys that the athletes wear for games. The fabric is made from top line material that can handle the rigors and physical punishment of the game.
