The difference between authentic and swingman jerseys comes down to their construction, fit, and price.
Authentic jerseys are crafted from premium materials, closely resembling what the players wear on the court. They feature stitched-on details, ensuring high durability and a tailored fit that mirrors the official team jerseys. These jerseys are built to endure, with intricate player-specific customizations and details. The sponsor patch comes heat-sealed onto the jersey, but note that the Walton patch is not included. Because of their premium construction and player-specific features, authentic jerseys come at a higher price point.
Swingman jerseys, on the other hand, are designed with casual wear in mind. They are still high-quality but utilize heat-sealed or screen-printed details, offering a more relaxed fit that’s comfortable for everyday wear. While they are durable, they have fewer intricate details than the authentic versions, making them a more affordable option. Swingman jerseys include a sponsor patch with instructions on how to apply it to your jersey.
