What are the differences between an authentic, swingman, throwback and replica jerseys in basketball?

The authentic jerseys are the ones the players actually wear on the court.  They are the really expensive ones.  These have the lettering and the logos entirely stitched on (you might see this referred to as "tackle-twill" or something like that).  I think these are the ones you are talking about, which run about $175-$200USD.\n\nThe swingman jerseys are mostly stitched on, and they look pretty authentic also, and cost about $75USD.\n\nThe replica jerseys are the ones with just screenprinted (not stitched on) numbers and logos.  Normally these run about $45USD.\n\nOf course, those are the retail prices.  Like the other poster said, you should be able to find them cheaper on sites like eBay.  Allen Iverson jerseys are more common than some other players' jerseys, so you may be able to get them for less than the retail.  I think in your case you should go for the "Swingman" jersey, not the "replica" one.  Can do an eBay search for Iverson jersey and you should get a good idea of what is available.\n\nYou may be also able to order them online or buy them locally at discounted sporting goods stores like Eastbay, The Sports Authority, Dick's or Modell's or similar stores.  Even the NBA Store or ESPN sells them but there, you won't get any discount most likely.\n\nAs for "throwback" jerseys, they also come in all the varieties above--authentic, swingman, and replica.  "Throwback" simply refers to any uniform that the team no longer wears.  It is a marketing ploy so that you can see today's players in the jersey designs of "yesteryear" and so on.  Some of the "throwback" designs in my opinion are pretty cool, but for the most part, in my opinion, look old and dated.  Anyway.\n\nGood luck with your purchase.

Actually I think the black and white shoes or the white/hunter green/silver shoes look slicker. If I am going up for a dunk, I want a REALLY nice pair of shoes in the guys face as I hang from the rim.\n\nOk, I am not that active, I am a computer geek. But I ALWAYS pick the best basketball shoes!

From nba.com, authentic but it can be pricey...OR from footlocker.com, footaction.com, finishline.com, and other sports store...

Depends largely on what team is pictured, and whether any of the more famous players are in it.  I'd get it appraised by either a reputable sports collectibles expert or a vintage photography expert.

For me, pump fake.  Second best is cross-over and fake pass to teammate and layup.

Rebok for all jerseys, shorts and pants in the NBA NFL. Also for Shoes in the NFL and collage. Nike for all MLB stuff, NBA shoes and sweatbands/wristbands. Addidas for soccer. I think Nautica for volleyball. Overall Reebok has more merchandise. Reebok is all over the world mainly made in Indonesia China and USA.

The coolest was the original.  Air Jordans!\n\nPeople were getting robbed for their shoes when they came out.  The kids on my HS basketball team swore they were able to dunk because they were wearing them when they couldn't before.  There has not, to my knowledge, ever been a frenzy over a pair of sneakers like there were over those.

Check it for yourself man\n\nSoCalHoops has tried to locate and present in one place all the best (and sometimes the worst) of the available products, equipment, merchandise and other basketball paraphenalia located on the web.

1. Supposedly because the new ball has better grip and feel, eliminates the need for a break-in period, which is needed for leather balls, and has consistant characteristics from ball to ball.\n\n2. The league says the tights ban is because they don't like the look of the tights and thought players wore them as some sort of fashion statement. The league wants the look of players on the court to be consistant. They've also banned players from wearing rubber wrist bands that have writing on them like the players name.\n\n3. The Bulls have their own team rules, and one of those rules is that players don't wear headbands (the Utah Jazz have the same team rule). Players can be fined, benched and suspended fo breaking team rules. Teams have their own reasons for having team rules, such as putting out a particular image, as a show of team unity, etc. There's nothing wrong with wearing a headband, but players need to be aware of their teams rules and follow them. The flap with Wallace started because he says he didn't know about these rules at the time he signed with the team.

What do you mean?  The new synthetic leather NBA basketballs?  If so, according to some sports scribes, the new Spalding balls all bounce up the same way and at the same height unlike the old leather Spalding balls which vary from product to product.\n\nHope this helps.

It's called a shooting sleeve, and it keeps your shooting arm warm throughout a game. They are made by the NBA, and it has the NBA logo on it. They come in black and white. You can get one at any sports store.

The best to get originals that are not used or fakes, is to wait a bit for prices to go down. Then purchase them or you can still brand new but older versions of jerseys once the newer one are out.\n\nI like doing that. I don't like fakes but don't like splurging on new ones, especially since teams change them so often.

No,NO,No,Never we've had the jumper for 110 years. Every other club is just trying to cash in on it, trying to sell more jerseys. Let all the other clubs take advantage of there fans i know the pies wont.Nth Melb are probably the closest but there jersey is mainly white with blue stripes ours is mainly black with white stripes. I repeat what every Collingwood supporter should be saying no,no,no,never!

i would go to your local sports memorbilia store and see if they can compare it to a real signed ball or next time just dont buy it from a questionable place
