The only reason to buy at the local Footlocker, Champs, FinishLine, etc. is when they have a good sale like Friend & Family.
I used to wear a lot of jerseys back in high school, all authentics and throwbacks (Mitchell And Ness). Search for those Mitchell And Ness jerseys if you wanna see $$, lol.
The brand has changed since then, 2002-2003 when I wore them, from Nike to Reebok. But essentially there are 3 levels...
Authentics, which is the same thing the pros wear except theirs are pro cuts.
Swingmans, replicas still, however not screen printed, but sewn on. But still one single layer.
Replicas, the lowest and cheapest ones available.
There's nothing like an authentic, from the attention to smaller details to the used of the DRI FIT material. But of course, it comes at the $100+ price tag. Compare to the $60ish mark for a swingman or $40 for a replica.
Also the only time they really go on sale is when either a player has been traded or design has been changed.
