Thoughts_Arrive

I cannot tell by looking at the photos....

Swingman

Replica
http://www.amazon.com/Derrick-Rose-Jers ... 192&sr=8-5

I want to buy one but is it worth buying the replica to save some money?
Anyone own any replicas?
I am 6'2" what size? L or XL?

Thoughts_Arrive

I was just going to post the authentic.

Authentic have stiched numbers and letters. Replicas have the iron on stlye. I suggest going to the store and looking at each before buying.

More of a Kukoc fan, plus my ethnic background is the same as his

Might ask my cousins in Cleveland to buy me one and mail it, might be cheaper?
I hope they don't send me a Cavs jersey instead as a sick joke

yeah no doubt. I'd go like 75 for an authentic. Its the same thing for college football or any authentic jersey. Crazy

The Juggler

stitched vs screen print. spend the extra bucks.

Another qn,
Much difference between authentic and swingman other than the huge price difference?
Worth paying over 100 bucks for authentic?

Swingman are between Authentic and replica. They are mesh, everything is stiched on, but the material is not has heavy and the numbers and names aren't double stiched (not sure if you know what that means). Basically the authentic have more detail and are higher quality but if you dont feel like paying the extra, the swingman are just fine. Good jerseys, that look pretty nice. Don't go replica, they are horrible.

If you were to put a swingman next to an authentic, you could see a big difference but when you are wearing them they look very similar.

Thanks dude.
What size is okay for a 6'2" guy? L or XL?
I think I might go to the shops and try one on and see which size then order it online, it is way too expensive here, over 100 bucks or just under for a swingman, Amazon is 75 bucks plus shipping, plus the AUD is stronger than the USD at the moment.

No problem. XL no doubt, but you may want to try one on. Yeah, I would go the amazon route if I were you.

Can't go wrong with the Bulls, unlike some other teams.

Thoughts_Arrive

Been a Bulls fan all my life.
Then lost touch when it went off free to air TV, now NBA is back on free to air, love it.
They are going alright this season ay?

Thats cool. Good to hear it's back on TV. Yeah, they are good this year and have a good team oveall that should be good for a while. Was never a Bulls fan (I don't dislike them either) but grew up in the Jordan era so it's hard not to respect them.

if you can find it, you could always go with a green bulls jersey

I am 99% sure that is the worst jersey in American sports history. When the hell do they wear that?

it's the saint patty's day jersey. they were it on the home game closest to st pattys. i think it looks pretty cool.

i like it better than the black alternate


worst jersey's in america are the oregen ducks 1,000 combination jersey
