#MitchellAndNess #SwingmanVsAuthentic #JerseyComparison
Love how you break it down for us. Really allows me to make the right decision in my purchases.
Thank you ! I’m glad I could help 💪🏻
Exactly
Authentic all day brotha, I’m always looking for that Mitchell & Ness sale. That’s the best time to pull the trigger. I love the work you put into the channel..
Thanks bro I really appreciate the kind words and the support. It’s comments like this that help give me the motivation to keep going
@@JamesMeyers Anytime my guy keep the videos coming, you definitely killing it w content..
I definitely will
After watching your channel for a while, I finally decided to pull pull the trigger on a swingman Jersey. I will definitely be looking to get an authentic down the road too. Great video once again brother
Awesome bro !!! Glad to help, thanks for watching
Does the swingman feel nice? Or cheap?
The swingman jerseys are lighter and perfect for summer wear I was just at Mitchell and ness and I personally like how they fit I had previously ordered an authentic jordan jersey but it was too baggy on me only downside with the swingman is that everything is heat pressed but I heard prior to 2018 they were single twill…
I have been collecting so many Mitchell and Ness NBA jerseys since 2021. I have many swingman jerseys and only 2 authentic jerseys . I mainly buy swingman jerseys unless its a team or player that has been a big part of my childhood growing up which is where I invest in the authentic ones. Great video!
Great video, I just bought the authentic rookie year home jerseys for both of these icons. Authentic was a must for me because these two are who I grew up watching and made me fall in love with the game of basketball.
First time watching your video and you broke it down perfectly and you got straight to business great video thanks shout-out from california I got a rodman jersey swing man 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽✌🏽
Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate it
I’m just starting my collection. I think Authentic is the gold standard, there will probably be more collectors value with authentics and it’ll hold its value well into the future. However they aren’t really affordable and it’s hard to justify spending $300 for a Jersey. Which is funny I say that because I just picked up 2 jordan authentics totaling up to around damn near $700. I’ll go swingman for other jerseys but I’ll go authentic for MJ and/or jerseys of my team favorite team and players. For example TMac is one of my favorite players, I’ll go authentic on that one, Kings are my home team and my favorite, I’ll go authentic on that one. And ofc any future Jordan jerseys. However I want a Latrell Sprewell NYC Jersey, I’ll be fine just getting a swingman of that, or a Larry Johnson Hornets., or an Artest Pacers.
Awesome review James 🔥🔥 only one thing you missed lol Mitchell & Ness doesn't do KOBE swingmans. Both jerseys are awesome Thanks bro always with the banger reviews. ✌✌✌
I appreciate you bro. Yeah I know they don’t do Kobe’s I was just using that for an example
The swingman are a little shorter too. The authentic just overall fits a little better, a little more tailored. The swingman is a bit short and boxy. Great content as always my dude.
Thank you for the insight. 🙏🏻
Would you say the swingman is a little more baggy? I'm a big guy, normaly get a 2XL Nike swingman, would a M&N swingman fit the same?
I’ve loved jerseys for the longest, people gotta do what’s best for them,. You’re still repN your squad!!!
The deciding factor for me is, if it’s my all-time favorite players I go authentic. If it’s just a player I like I go for the other option. For example, top shelf jerseys would be Kobe Bryant, Clayton Kershaw, Charles Woodson, Mark Stone. For the lower tier of jersey it would be players like Anthony Davis, Walker Buehlere, Darren Waller. These are players I like, but have not reached those heights for me yet. I know this is a basketball jersey video, but just in case anyone needed a deciding factor for other sports as well.
I bought to m&n swingmans for a total of 70 $ a scottie pippen95-9_ and steve smith 96-97 cant complain for the price 70$ for two not bad
Bought a stitched jersey from footlocker. Advertised as swingman but it’s stitched like an authentic
Great comparison between the two versions!
I´ve been collecting authentics for a couple of years now and really like the quality of the brand.
Allthough I was always satisfied with most of their products (including caps, shirts, jerseys...) I just don´t like the look of the "fake stitching" on the swingmans.
Just heatpress the names and numbers on it, but don´t try to make it look like it´s stitched - but that´s nothing new, even the older versions (Swingman 1.0) had some fake stitching going on when there were multiple colors in the logo/name/number.
Best wishes from Germany!

Thanks for watching and your input. I don’t think anyone likes the fake stitching
Hello
I want to say this. The mitchell and ness jersey swingman jersey looks better on its own. The authentic is something the players actually wear, feels better and stitched. Something about that makes you feel like it is an honor to wear an authentic compare to heat-pressed. The orlando magic tracy mcgrady jersey is the best example in my opinion. The swingman is a blue jersey while the authentic you see the stars and material is different.
Agree authentic is where it’s at 💯
@@JamesMeyers I totally agree. The swingman only looks good but when you stand with authentic the authentic looks like a boss and the swingman still looks good but cartooney. You get what I mean
@@DarkMaigican25 yeah man it’s just a cheaper version no where near the same IMO
Those are some dope jerseys. Thanks for the video man
Thanks you 🙏🏻
Mitchell and ness needs to learn to properly match colors especially purple when you pay $300 for a jersey that’s supposed to be detail for detail faithful to the original is it too much to ask that the color shades be the same?
can you teach us how to take care of swingmans? because some of my swingmans are starting to fade after few years of wearing it
I used to buy a swing man but now I’m liking authentics great video
Thank you
I bought both versions to check out. I’m getting Iverson a jersey signed. Which version do you think is best to get signed? The cheaper one scares me. I feel the ink will smudge.
Awesome video! Incredibly informative. I’m looking to pull the trigger on a 96-97 Shaquille O’Neal, but I’m not too sure about the sizing. Till now I only have Mitchell and Ness swingman. Is there a difference in the sizing? Or should I go to the same with authentic‘s as I do with Swingman?.
Basically the same sizing
Have you had any issues washing a swingman?? Or would you suggest a hand wash over the machine??
Hi... Great video. I'm planning to get an authentic M&N jersey. For the swingman, I'm size M. Should I get the same size for the aunthentic?
Thank you very much.
I just got my curry swingman super scared to wash it I don’t want the letters to ever fall off
I totally understand Just be care for it and it should last you a good while
Im a new fan of ur work bro, keep it up
Hi James. Great informative video. But why are the Swingman made in China and the Authentic made in Vietnam?
Awesome review! I think if they had kept doing the single stitch on the swingmans then maybe I’d go for those.. but I’d personally go authentic. I got the Kobe 99-00 recently and I don’t think I’ll ever go swingman again lol. Keep up the great videos man 👍
Yeah i agree the single stitch would have me thinking twice about what to buy.
I think the swingman jerseys from the 90s players are the only ones close to the authentic just heat pressed. Alot of the jerseys back then had prints on them like the bucks grizzlies or suns just name a few. When you get in different eras the differences are glaring. The swingman jerseys of early 2000 players and teams are terrible i.e. vince carter raptors or tmac magic the reebok authentics then are made with different materials and m&n ignored that and just used polyester for everything smh.
Is there any difference in the size? Great video 👍
My favorite player is Vince Carter
I seen some on macari but I don’t know if they are real
Are some authentics heat sealed? The Mitchell & Ness site tends to list items multiple times & I saw some authentics that said “heat pressed logos” Hoping that’s a mistake
Some are actually. For example TEAM USA jerseys in 1992 we’re screen printed so M&N stayed true to the original.
@@JamesMeyers oh okay thanks for clearing that up
@@dwightyawg7781 no problem bro
Should I go with my normal size or go a size up for the authentic?
I’d go true to size
Aii thanks man
5:14 and i think material inside a jersey is different.
Never bought another swingman after the numbers started coming off after a few washings of my favorite jerseys
I totally understand. I mainly buy authentic buy will sometimes get a swingman if I really want a particular jersey and authentic is not available in my size etc
I don’t get why not just take it to the dry cleaners. I always want authentic. But at end of day since I’ve had a child I go swing man and take them to dry cleaners.
I have yet to find a Reggie theus authentic sac kings in light blue red and white so I got the swing man.
Yeah man sometimes it’s like that. I’d rather have the swingman then nothing at all from a player I like.
@@JamesMeyers facts
I love heavy jerseys yeah
Facts
If you’re going to get a jersey autographed and framed and not planning on wearing it, would the best option be the Swingman jersey?Considering the cost of the jersey and autograph etc.
Definitely if you gone do all that go full blast. can't put lipstick on a pig
Do they have the same length?
Yes
I got the red Allen Iverson jersey form 96-97 but I’m youth and mine is stitched, is there a difference form the youth to the adult?
To be honest with you I’m not sure . I do know that the older M&N swingman had single layer stitching
Are swingman jersey’s fake or real ?
They’re real , just a cheaper option
Screw them screen print jerseys. $130.00 for screen print that's Gona come off in the wash.Mitchell & Ness quality went down the tubes lately.They sent me damaged products twice the last time I ordered from the site.
Sorry to hear that bro. Personally I’ve always had a pleasant experience with M&N
What kind of damage If you don’t mind me asking ?
I bought a Phillies Jersey like 2 years ago and the stitching was missing on the top of one of the numbers on the jersey.Then they made me pay the shipping to send it back and to get a new one.Then recently I bought one of the name and number Long sleeve shirts because Inwas nervious about paying $250.00 $300.00 for a jersey again and I had the same problem.The stitching on the top of one of the numbers was totally missing it wasnt even there.That shirt was $110.00 and the numbers are stitced not screen printed.So I don't understand why they can't stitch the numbers on the swingman for the same price.
I still a take the swing man they not gone know
Swingmans was stitched back in the day wasn’t it? They should be ashamed using these pressed on letterings for all of these jerseys!
Yeah back in the day they were single stitched
IF BOTH MADE OF POLYESTER ITS AN RIP OFF !
Don’t ever start a video by yelling “CZcams” like that again.. Also, your hat needs to be a size or 2 smaller.. Also, don’t wear your hat crooked like that. You’re welcome.
Thanks for all the great advice
