What are the different styles of basketball jerseys

Info

Ordinarily, basketball players used to play while wearing athletic clothing of any kind, similar to what is seen in other sports like football tracksuits and uniforms. With time, official basketball uniform was adopted, requiring each team to have their own official uniform. This went from players wearing jerseys being worn with very short shorts to players adopting baggy shots. Below are some of the types of basketball jerseys that are available in the market as of today; some are Basketball uniform production (농구 유니폼 제작) while others are ordinary.

On-court jerseys and Replica jerseys

On-court jerseys are known to be the most expensive jersey types available in the market today. These are considered to be the most ‘original’ jerseys in the basketball sport. In addition. The fact that actual NBA players wear these jerseys during the sport makes on court jerseys even pricier. As a result, only a few fans can afford on court jerseys since they are treated as collectibles and are not supposed to be worn.

This are the regular basketball uniforms that many basketball fans buy. Replica jerseys are made to look like on court jerseys with a slight variation in the way the logo, player name and the team’s wordmarks are printed onto the jersey. This is done using the screen-printing technique. Replica jerseys make the cheapest jerseys in the market. They are however made out of good quality fabric.

Swingman jerseys and Authentic Jerseys

Swingman jerseys are considered the ‘upgraded’ version of the replica jerseys discussed above. They are the ‘the next good’ version of the on-court jerseys. In addition, swingman jerseys feel more comfortable than replica jerseys. This is because they are manufactured from materials meant for performance. As such, swingman jerseys are less expensive than on court jerseys but more expensive than replica jerseys due to their complex design and high-quality fabric

Throwback jerseys also go by the names old school, vintage, retro or hardwood jerseys. Authentic jerseys are the copies of NBA jerseys dating close to a decade old. Authentic jerseys are meant to enable the basketball fan have that nostalgic remembrance pf their favorite team or player during their golden or prime years. Throwback jerseys can be found in swingman, replica or authentic versions

Game-issued jersey and Blood set jerseys

These are NBA jerseys that are meant for use, but due to one reason or another, the player or players never used them. In addition, game issued jerseys are made for the basketball player that was injured or sidelined before they use it.

During any basketball game, equipment managers are required to have additional batches of basketball jerseys for emergency reasons. For instance, if a player’s jersey gets torn during the game, he or she can be given another one from the blood set. In the event that the blood set jersey is not used, it automatically becomes a game issued basketball jersey

As a general rule of thumb, a true basketball fan will have a basketball jersey of any kind, whether it is swingman, authentic or replica. Basketball jerseys are available in many sizes and designs. As such, a fan has flexibility in choosing what to wear in support of the game.
