Collecting and wearing jerseys is always a nice feeling! I always appreciated the quality and craftsmanship behind the uniforms that sports athletes wear, which is why I expect a little more from brands like Mitchell & Ness, Nike etc.
Hopefully this video will give you more insight into making your decision on whether you decide to purchase newer swingman jerseys!
Shout out to the owner of these jerseys for allowing me to use these photos for information/insight on the swingman jerseys!

@@REZRECTION Background music is way too loud. Way too annoying and distracting !!!!
In the washer on delicate , turn inside out, coldest water only, hang dry
That is crazy yo. I've washed my Magic Johnson swingman like 2 or 3 times, still looks new. I have a feeling people don't really know how to wash em sometimes. Cold water, lowest setting, and no dryer has done the trick for me even at the terrible washing machines at my college dorms lol
The thing is, people have different ways of washing their garments. Even in the extremes of putting your setting on high, there is always that risk of when you throw your jerseys in there. If I were to wash my jerseys in the washer, I would hand wash everything lol😅 thats just me though🤷🏽♂️
@@REZRECTION you're right about that, probably varies from washing machine to washing machine. I think I find that I just don't care enough about a swingman to take the utmost care for it because I use them like hell. I care just enough though to keep them from peeling. I don't think I've washed my authentics yet though from how rarely I use em lol. I'll probably dry clean em like you do.
Best/safest way to do it imo 🙏🏽
People just don't take care of their shit mine are fine
Dry cleaners. All my jersey’s go to the dry cleaners. But I also make sure my swing man jersey’s have a stich these new swingmans are not worth the money at all.
The one problem with taking your jersey to the dry cleaners is that the care label states, “no dry cleaning.” At least the NFL Legacy jerseys do, and they are heat pressed as well.
I haven’t had any issues taking my jerseys to the cleaners. Depending on who is caring for your jerseys at the cleaner, they should know not to apply any heat directly on the numbers/letters
Great video!
I buy both Swingmans and Authentics, depending on availability and price.
I have to say I am ok with the Nike Swingman as long as I put them in a washing bag and wash at very low temperature and low cycle.
The new M&N Swingman on the other hand are a complete waste of money for me. Bought one Pippen jersey and one O‘Neal Magic jersey and the name and numbers of both feel so cheap! Cheap plastic glued on. And they want 90 EUR for this in Germany where I live. Unbelievable.
Have one M&N authentic (Jordan, Bulls) and the difference in quality is just extraordinary.
Thank you!,
I am the same way. As long as you treat your jerseys with the utmost care with your garments, they will treat you right!
These people were drying those jerseys that’s why they look like that. No way just washing them destroys them like that. That is user error for sure
Yeah once you go authentic its so hard to go back to swingmans especially since the names, numbers, logos are heat pressed on the NBA jerseys now. I recently bought 3 swingmans because the authentic ones are no longer available or have never been made. I bought a white Pippen, a 1994 Olajuwon, and 1985 Magic Johnson purple. I used a 30% off on them. I also own Dr. J, Duncan, and Nowitzki Reebok swingmans and a Shaq Nike lakers swingman.
Now the Nike NFL limited, and M&N NFL legacy jerseys are actually better than NBA swingman. Those continue to be single stitched.
I too do not put my jerseys in the wash or wear them too often, never to the gym or when I go for long walks.
All about preserving your stuff can’t knock on it, especially nowadays with the current swingmans we get from Nike, Mitchell ness etc.
I remember being jealous of the hat/jersey combo when I first came across this video(totally forgot about it and am in the market again). Who woulda thought my Bucks would make it possible for me 😂 appreciate this bro! Helps someone who considers these a decent commitment lol
*EDIT* Lmao I just saw my old comment
Lol all good! Congrats to your deer this season! Well deserved Chip for you guys and the Greek Freak as well! 👊🏽🙏🏽💪🏽 🦌
Dopeeeeee video Brotha! So personally i wash my jerseys on a need to basis, i usually wash as per care tag but gentle and cold wash with liquid soap or hand wash is usually how i go, then i line dry Always. Sometimes i use scout for stains as well.
That’s a great way to do it brotha! Hand washing is probably your best bet next to dry cleaning 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for the tips and sharing
@@REZRECTION The bulls heat press authentic jerseys say DO NOT DRY CLEAN on the tag.
@@gsteve8198 As long as the numbers/letters aren’t being dry cleaned directly, itt should be fine if they steam clean the polyester with care. I would just be specific with them if you decide to bring them in.
@@REZRECTION dude I would never trust a cleaners to be that specific. Just follow the care instructions on the tag. Cold water wash inside out with woolite and line dry it. Something tells me the guy who washed his jerseys in those pics probably used hot water and dogged those jerseys. And honestly how dirty are the jerseys really getting if a person isn't doing physical activities in them?
@@gsteve8198 I’ve taken some of my rarest of pieces to the cleaners with no problems even after they have been instructed to not get dry cleaned.
What it boils down to is how comfortable you feel handing off your garments to the cleaners. There are home remedies which some have mentioned in the comments. Bleach pens, steam cleaners, or the pen stain removers are also proven to be helpful
You gotta care for your jersey like they are a family member lol. Also, READ the washing directions on the tags!!!
Facts! 💯 💯💯💯👌🏽
Yes sir and that goes for authentic jerseys as well. I usually dry clean all of my authentics and if I do put them in the washer I follow the directions.
Hey res! I bought a swingman Knicks Jersey last year ( ewing ) and when I opened it I saw it was stitched ( obviously fake). At the same time I bought some Adidas knicks shorts and I'm unsure on those as the Knicks badge is stitched on. These days I normally stick to the vintage Reebok jerseys as I like their quality of materials and I like the stitching. 🙏🏻✌
Reebok and older Nike swingmans were the best imo! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Swingmans are cool if you want that super-obscure player in a super-obscure alternate uniform that M&N doesn’t make authentics for. But I wish they just stuck to authentics because of the quality & specs of that year jersey.
Well said! It’s all about preference at the end of the day! The most important message is to know what you’re getting by buying an authentic or swingman though!
I have a couple of swingman jerseys, and I never have that problem, but maybe because I take my jerseys to the dry cleaners.Simple. Great video
The person probably threw these jerseys in the dryer. I’ve never seen them like this too personally, but with how cheap the swingmans are today, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I also bring mine to the cleaners as well!
I prefer swingman nba jerseys, I dont like the sponsor patches on the authentics
I know you made this video months ago, but thank you for this informative vid man. This is a HUGE reason I almost always buy Authentics only. I only ever buy swingman when theres no authentic available. Its well worth the extra $
Hey there, any time! It’s awesome to see that this video is still reaching people out here in YT even after all the months passed!
It’s absolutely important, people understand 100% what they are buying! Glad I was able to help you value your hard earned money for these jerseys!
@@REZRECTION I’m a huge jersey head man, and you’re a legend in the community! I always go back and watch your vids. Thanks for the great vids always for real. Much love from SoCal!
Super humbled by that! Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
One jersey at the time
Express wash
30degrees
Lowest setting (600rpm)
Inside out
Maybe a washing bag
Hang them airdry
Works for me
I’m 46 y/o my authentic Jersey game stopped after 29 but I’ll rock authentic shorts till I die 🩳
Ain’t nothin wrong with choices!
Bro my Raptors Throwback 1998-99 Vince Carter Jersey is ruin it. It got printed off and now I was so mad. It cost idk, 200 dollars and MY Jersey looks worse. There is no way that I can fix the printed off
Did you get a swingman? If so, I could definitely see that happening! Smh. The quality on them are cheaply made 😭😭😭
Honestly, i bought a bunch of jerseys just for collection, but if yo have to clean or wash your jersey, my advice is to put it in a washing bag which reduces the damage while cleaning.
Great tip!
That Bulls jersey 👀. I bet there are many more horror stories like these. Sublimation and vinyl aren’t meant to last on top of polyester. Then when you get heat involved. Not good.
Definitely not a good combo my friend! I pray that the swingman quality will get better, but i'm holding my breath....
I have a pippen bulls jersey as well and it looks just like the one in the pic l, for it to get like that he had to had washed it a whole a lot of times, it’s took me aleast 2 and 1/2 yrs before it started to fade ( not cappin at all ) my magic swingman and Knicks swingman took even longer to fade.
That’s so disappointing to see especially for a swingman that’s priced at 100+ dollars! Smh.
Wash the jersey either warm or cold and don't put them in the dryer, just hang dry cause it'll dry quick since it's polyester fabric.
Great video. As crazy as it sounds, I never throw my jerseys in the wash. I spray Febreze on that and use my steam cleaner for all my jerseys. And the handy Tide pen for any small stains.
Thanks Eric!
That’s the way to do it. I haven’t tried your method yet, but I’ve been told that’s one of the best home/care for these garments! Appreciate the tips that you have provided as well 🙏🏽 🏀
I found that washing machine tablets and fabric softener ruined my Jerseys, but washing on low temperature and just with normal washing powder has been fine for me. They now come out fine every time.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage A good alternative! 🙌🏽👌🏽🤙🏽
This is why I also stick with authentics. Your at least getting much more time and getting a little bang with your buck. The swingman quality has just gone downhill over the years and it's very disappointing. Great vid Rez.
You couldn’t have said it any better my friend! 💯🙏🏽
Agreed!
Great video as always Rez 👍🏽I try to be careful with my jerseys, I don’t wear them out that much in public, I mostly just wear them around the house. I know what this guy is going thru back in 2018 I bought a M&N Replica 1985 Walter Payton (Home) I bought at a little sports shop in Memphis this was back when the Replica was great quality Jersey well one day I got a stain on it so when I was at work my dad was doing laundry so he decided to wash my Jersey well he put it in the dryer and well you know it ended up worse than the Pippen and Kemp so I know what this guy is going thru. Since then I try to be extra careful with my jerseys so I just them dry cleaned luckily they dry cleaner is literally a 1 minute away from my home. Tbh you know I like to collect the old M&N Runs back when they were big guy friendly I like the baggy Jersey look. I think the quality in M&N Jerseys as the years go by get worse and worse.
Well all live and learn! The older m&n stuff were some of the best jerseys out there an would withstand more than the newer stuff that is currently being produced🙏🏽
I hand wash all my jerseys, dry cleaners just spray cleaning solution on the stains then steam press. Doesnt always work and usually leaves a dried in stain. Jerseys dont be long in the washer, period!
As long as you wash them properly, there should be no issues, but you have to know exactly what your doing if doing with that method.
Are those damaged jerseys from the same owner? If that's the case, it could be that he just doesn't know how to wash it. I have couple of swingmans (latest heat pressed version) and I've washed each of em at least once so far and it honestly looks just the same. No damage whatsoever. I think people just need to know how to wash em
Yes, as far as I know, they all belonged to the same person. With proper care swingmans new or old will hold, but any hard wear and tear will result in them breaking down over time. I’m glad yours still held up!
I started collecting last year and I thought heat pressed was a norm for M&N swing man, when I saw an authentic its night and day for a difference. I stopped getting swingman started collecting first gen Addidas or Nike cause its stitched. Appreciate the video man!
You must value quality over quantity then! Salute to you sir. I only buy swingmans if I have no other option to do so.
Thank you for watching and sharing! 🙏🏽
The swingmans used to be stitched on the M&N jerseys but idk why they decided to change it to heat press a few years ago
@@jfvisuals8 i believe it’s because It cost them less to do that and charge more to the consumer (us). Sucks really bad, but that’s where they’re going with it now.
@Uncle Bono I got a couple of swingmans, they’re good imo but every time I wash it, it just looks wrinkled but all of my swingmans were around $20-$30 when I got em so it’s hard to pass em up 😂
@Uncle Bono Ross, I even got an authentic Westbrook jersey for $25
Recent releases have been real frustrating with Mitchell and ness and nike. Even the sizes arent consistent.
Sadly, this is the truth 😞
Wow! that's fucking painful, I bet that dude was so pissed off I bet he wanted to cry, and I wouldn't blame him.
Quality over Quantity bro! You get what you pay for....😔
I have many Mitchell & Ness swingman jerseys and that hasn’t happened to any of them. I wash all of my jerseys in cold water and let them hang dry.
You must really care for your jerseys then. However, I’m not convinced current swingmans are not very durable as I returned all my recent ones upon purchase
Jake delhomme is my favorite player. I saw M&N selling a 03 replica for 150…. It’s tempting rn
If you’re lucky you can catch it on sale! Just gotta hope it doesn’t sell out!
Wash INSIDE OUT on cold with a delicate setting if possible.
Wash each jersey ONE AT A TIME.
Once finished NEVER put in dryer. Always hang dry.
For stains, use Oxy Clean Laundry stain remover spray. $3-4 for a whole bottle. Rub the stains with the oxy clean to get them out. Multiple sprays may be needed. Wash and see how great it works!
I’ve bought authentic Jordan jerseys with minor stains on them for so cheap and it took me 1 application of oxyclean and 1 wash to get them looking like new
All great advice! 🙌🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
@@REZRECTION Almost forgot - wash them inside out! I’ll edit the original post
ive never had a problem, washing any sports jersey from any organization, screenprinted or stitched. even the fake ones. ive used a bunch of different washers. never had problems. wash on cold/hang everything. all my things look like new
that being said ive never had a swingman, only replica(fast break) and authentic. the replica has held up great!
That’s good. You must be taking care of them very well!
I have football jerseys (Nike vapor, M&N authentic) basketball jerseys (M&N swingman and authentic and Nike Swingman) and soccer jerseys (Liverpool new balance and Nike) and I have washed them all on hand wash cycle with cold water numerous times and line dry them and they all look brand new. I think some of these people didn’t follow the wash directions. I may be wrong, but as many times as I washed mine, I should have encountered this by now. Mine have no wear and tear at all.
It sounds like you handle your jerseys with a lot of good care!
I think as long as you care for your jerseys properly, they will last you for a very long time!
On the flip side, I still believe that the quality has still declined in recent years, but are still manageable 🙏🏽
@@REZRECTION I absolutely do lol. I get anxious being around boiling pots from fear of something like spaghetti sauce popping out on them. I sit a certain way in the car to make sure the numbers dont get bent haha. Seriously, i do treat them like they are my kids. But, I do wash them, and have never had a single issue as long as it was what the tag suggested. :)
I own some swingman jerseys and i wear them to big crowded events and always get mad respect or find myself in a conversation with a stranger who gives me a nod.The only jerseys i dont wear to close quarters crowds are white home jerseys.
Yea I wear my swingmams to events to and people usually give me respect, but then again most people don’t know the difference between the authentic and swingman.
I’m sick of people putting swingman jerseys down. Maybe they don’t know how to wash a damn jersey. A jersey is a jersey. It can happen to any jersey.
By no means am I hating on the swingman game. I have a few in my personal collection myself but some people just refuse to wear them 🤷🏽♂️
@@REZRECTION I know you’re not. Their are people that are because they aren’t $300 and they feel like if you buy a swingman that you can’t buy a authentic jersey
@@outlawt628 totally get you! It’s almost like an “Elitist” Mentality, which is sad because there’s some decent swingmans out there!
Low delicate wash setting and hang dry. No drying machine. But definitely the swingmans are cheap and trash. You have to add actual tackle twill from a local shop to bring them up to par.
Jerseys shouldn’t have to be taken to the shop for adding twill especially not for the price they are charging them for nowadays imho!
Hey. Thanks for the creative upload and info on the jerseys. I know mentioned you currently take your jerseys to the dry cleaner, but is it safe to say that the jerseys that are chipping and filing part like the Pippin and Kemp are the one's you steadily put in the washer machine and possibly the dryer as well? Trying to figure out how they ended up looking so destroyed like that. I am guessing those you did not take the dry cleaner. Thanks
Thanks for watching! I’m assuming the ones shown in my video were thrown in the dryer on a very heavy setting. Dryers and jerseys should never be mixed together.
@@REZRECTION You are very welcome. I remember throwing my jerseys in the dryer back in the day thinking it was normal to do so. Back in the early 2000's when I had the white Chicago Bulls MICHAEL JORDAN and put the in the washer only to see the 23 peeling off a couple years later. Such a silly move by me lol. Never again. Enjoy the upcoming NBA playoff fun brotha.
I get authentic jerseys when it comes to my favorite players/teams but I buy swingman when I want to where a jersey in order to color match with clothes/kicks.. To give an Example of the ones I own.. I’m an Eagles/Phillies/Sixers fan and have Authentic Kelly Green Reggie White, Mike Schmidt Baby Blue/Maroon and ‘96 Allen Iverson White/Blue/Red. In Swingman have Mike Bibby Grizzlies Aqua/Teal color, Kevin Garnett Wolves 95 Blue, And George Gervin Spurs Black. I have quite a few more, I love my jerseys and I have always taken mine to the dry cleaners. Never had the issues from what was shown because I don’t trust household washers to be delicate regardless of what they say they can do. Whether you spent $130 or $300, I suggest spending the $1-$3 at your local dry cleaning and just having it taken care of properly.
Very good idea! We both have the same mindset! 👊🏽💯
I'm wondering how close I live near you in pa (I'm guessing pa) Only around my area is there people that if they like one pa team they gotta like all the pennsylvania teams lol. I'm guessing Penn state fan too for college huh? 🤣
@@howiep6159 Nice try but I don’t live in PA nor am I into CFB enough to have a favorite team. Penn state fans are usually middle of the state people unless you attended. I’m from NJ, South Jersey to be exact and I’m only 10min from the stadiums by the bridge. It started in the 80s playing little league baseball and pop Warner football they would take us to see games every year plus my father was really into baseball so the Phillies was the team I saw about 10times each year. I played Saftey and LB so naturally I was drawn to Buddy Ryans Eagles since they’re one the greatest defensive teams of all time. Sixers are the team where I would give you credit lol. I do root for them because they’re local and I just want to see the excitement from my people when they win it one day.
Soccer jerseys here in Europe will last for a decade or more time. The problem with NBA jerseys is they have to stitch numbers and letters with a textile materials, not using vinyls or craps like that. Textile stitched. If you printed numbers and letters directly on the polyester with the past of time, a little time, this materials will peel it soon.
100 euros here in Spain for a Jersey with what you can do any sport, only stroll and having the maximum care to last is for me a wasted money.
Soccer jerseys are better in that way. They resist washing machines, scratches, etc...
Well said! I don’t own any soccer jerseys, but by the sounds of it, it sounds like the quality is much more better than the swingmans today. Thank you for sharing that information!
I don't buy anymore M&N swingman for the same reason... Good job my friend
Likewise 👊🏽 🙌🏽
Appreciate this kinda content bro 🙏🏽 good lookin out
Anytime! Glad I can help keep you guys informed! 🙏🏽👊🏽
WASH ON "DELICATE" WITH MINIMAL SOAP.
DRY IT ON A HANGER.
BEEN DOING IT ON NFL AND MLB JERSEYS AS WELL. STILL LOOKING SHARP.
Jersey care is a MUST for any jersey collector, small or large scale!
I need your help what is the best size for a big person i am 5.10
I own mostly nhl jerseys and some basketball jerseys. My number one peiece of advice is never ever EVER WASH A JERSEY. Some of mine are over ten years old and still look like new. Don't eat, drink, play with them on . Just ve carefull and once its dirty oh well
Mitchell and ness has gone way down hill since I used to buy mine. Used to only have authentic and had way more variety of players and eras. Now they just sell the knockoffs on their own site lol
The mainstream releases with the lackluster quality is now the norm Sadly😭
I always thought u was supposed to dryclean them types , I ain’t wore jerseys in a long time but back in the day I dry cleaned all mines never had no issue
You should dry clean them but yes they definitely have gone down in quality.
@@REZRECTION no doubt , I definitely noticed with the couple jerseys I just bought recently. That’s why I’m back here looking lol , they ain’t like the glory days of the early mid 2000s . Damn I’m old 😂
They got a very good opinions in community in the past so now they are decreasing standards of quality. Currently MITCHELL & NESS swingman jerseys are crap without even single stitched. Bad choice. People are not stupid.
Very. The older swingmans are far more superior in terms of quality compared to today
Great video!! I also never wash my jerseys and I don’t wear them during physical activities
Great minds think alike! #IYKYK
That’s weird. I don’t have any M&N swingman but I have a few authentics and several Nike swingmans. I’ve washed them inside out multiple times and just let them air dry and they’re fine
It really all depends on how the person washes their garments. Some people may have different settings which is probably why they get damaged (like the ones in the pics I provided) while others use a very gentle cycle on theirs 🙏🏽
Either way, I’m glad yours came out fine! 🙏🏽
Agreed! Turn inside out. Keep separate from other clothing meaning only wash NHL jersey's (whites separate from the darks).
Separate wash for MLB uni's inside out (separate whites away from darks).
And again same thing with the NBA's jersey's. Separate wash but keep the whites separate from the dark jerseys.
I keep the cycle on all my jersey's on delicate cycle, always cold water and as minimal liquid detergent depending on jersey load. Have not had any issues thus far.
One issue I had was my Curry Adidas swing man. And although I only washed it like 1-2 times a season, the sublimated letters of "Curry" started peeling. I've since retired that jersey completely. I now only shop for the Nike Authentic cut. Or if I can find the smallest size, the previous Adidas Rev 30 on court jersey.
@@RUmlas best way to do it!
P.S. sorry about the Curry. #dubnation forever lol!
@@RUmlas really? I’ve washed my Nike Swingman jerseys a few times and have had no issues at all. Delicate setting with cold water and just let it air dry.
Nice instrumental hook bro, thanks for your work on RUclips.
Much appreciated! 🙏🏽
Hey man, I’m literally thinking about buying an authentic Jersey. Where do you recommend I buy? Thanks
You have many options to choose from I.e, eBay, posh Mark, Mercari are some recommendations. Just know what you’re buying when searching!
@@REZRECTION you listed all the spots you can easily get ripped off on
@@americantroy77 which is why I said, to know what you’re buying when searching those sites! There are gems you can find on there.
@@REZRECTION but if someone says “I’m thinking about buying an authentic jersey” they obviously don’t know what to look for on those sites or they wouldn’t be asking you.
@@americantroy77 I did another video showing legit vs fake Mitchell & Ness Jerseys. That should help give them an idea of where to go. At the end of the day, if they are asking me for recommendations on finding authentic jerseys without getting ripped off, the obvious choice would be to buy directly from Mitchell & Ness, Nike, Adidas etc.
Some people prefer other third party sites like eBay, poshmark, Mercari, because you can find deals, but still have to be cautious when searching on those sites 🤷🏽♂️
MITCHELL AND NESS NEED TO ADDRESS THIS THOSE THROWBACKS ARE EXPENSIVE ✌️
You should get a wash bag, it protects it in the wash pretty good
Great tip!
Amigo buenas tardes gracias por tu gran trabajo un saludo de cabo san Lucas
Anytime! 🙏🏽
They are drying them is why they fell apart not washing them. You don’t dry any jersey. No way those jerseys did that just washing them
That’s what everyone was saying but the person who owned these jerseys said they were not throwing in the dryer 🤷🏽♂️😔
Is it okay too play basketball in my jersey it's a fast break replica if that helps
You can do whatever you please in your jerseys lol. I just choose not to play in mine 🤷🏽♂️😂
@@REZRECTION ok tanks
@@REZRECTION so it won't like rip if im just like shooting??
@@Its_Nols it shouldn’t unless you really put a lot of strain on the jersey
@@REZRECTION thanks man i was getting really paranoid
Do you have any recommended eBay sellers to buy authentic jerseys from???
City of Winners is one of the best! He has a lot of rare gems for great prices!
@@REZRECTION Thanks. I'll check his page out. What's your IG??
@@dementedmindstate7063 checkout the description on the video more al my social media handles!
trust me even if you had authentic, you can't throw them in the washing machine. it'll destroy everything. Just get it and hang it. lol
Dry cleaner is the way! - Mando voice 😂 💯
The Authentic & swingmen jerseys are both fake they are just very high end replicas. This is bc M&N
( Did Not ) supply or make the jerseys for the NBA. I’m not even sure if they ever have ? The NBA for years used Champion or Nike I also think each team could use a different brand if they wanted too I know Apex & Adidas was used at some point the 97/98 season with the Chicago’s bulls used Nike. You can look all this up on google they also used brand’s you don’t recognize or at least I didn’t. I will say this tho I like the M&N brand Jersey’s Shorts etc etc the BEST!!! I did have some pro cut champion Jordan jerseys back in the late 90’s the away & black pinstriped jersey’s & I had the Nike Vince Carter UNC jersey & shorts which I wish I still had along with my MJ champion pro cut jerseys but I lost them all back in high school due to trading or selling them. I never had any pro cut MJ jersey’s made by Nike other then his rookie year jersey but Nike wasn’t making the jerseys for the NBA or bulls in 84/85 then. But out of all the pro cut jerseys I’ve had Champion, Nike & M&N the M&N is by fair the BEST!!!
Do the swingman jerseys shrink after time?
No. They’re made of polyester which doesn’t shrink. Unless the jersey is constructed of cotton or wool (I.e. baseball flannels) you should be good.
The new Nike Authentics are basically the Old stitched swingman jerseys just 2X the price.
There’s many differences compared to older Nike swingmans.
It is obvious that these people are responsible for this mess. They don't know how to wash and dry a jersey properly. You have to be an idiot to throw your jersey in the drier. Swingman jerseys are ok if you know how to take care of them. Of course authentic jerseys are much much more durable and nice looking but I think it's ridiculous the fact that you have to give a fortune in order to buy just one jersey, the same time that you can buy two or three swingman jerseys with the same amount of money.
Lol they just don't know how to wash em..I wash all my authentic jerseys and swingmans on delicate cold they all look the same as when I bought them just hang dry them lmao.
Looks like these pics were stoned washed in a local river lol... I've washed hundreds of jerseys hundreds of times just on cold/gentle in a normal washing machine, then hang dry... something not right with those pics lol
Lololol, I’m sure he probably washed them on a really bad setting, however, I have seen peeling on swingman shorts so I believe this will happen if miswashed/mishandled! It’s authentics for me moving forward!
@@REZRECTION yea all mine are mitchell and ness from the actually website so mayb knock offs or something
So because people carelessly wash the jerseys they have. People who take care of them like you and me shouldn't get swingmans anymore ? And this comment isn't really directed towards you more towards the topic and people throwing shit in the washer and dryer 🤣 good video tho
That happen to my Rodman jersey men what a waste
I’m sorry you went through that as well! The quality has definitely declined now!
Swingmans are always only single stitched and always printed on for any graphic or design that's more than one layer (i.e. celtics jersey you wouldn't have this problem) but don't shit on M&N an nike about Quality! he should have spent the extra couple dollars and got the real thing I understand not everyone can afford 250-300$ jerseys but half the price half the quality or dry cleaned his jerseys you don't machine wash swingmans!
and his jerseys look like they were washed MULTIPLE times as a kid I washed my swingman jerseys and they looked like this after like 6 washes or on high heat settings.
Agree 💯 The quality has gone downhill for the swingmans, but they should at least continue to keep them single stitched.
@@REZRECTION definitely have gone down hill! and I understand the performance aspect for the players but for us fans they should be thicker for the newer nike authentics! I don't but swingmans anymore so idk what the difference between the older and newer M&N ones are but they press everything now????
@@eyekneemuhni617 Yes. Everything is heat applied graphics. If you see some of my other jersey videos I did you can see exactly what I mean. I would hold the swingmans to a higher standard especially the m&n swingman line
Reebok and adidas swingman jerseys from the early 2000s are great quality and stitched. I still have several that look new. I stopped buying new ones when they switched to screen print. Looks cheap. With Mitchell and ness their quality has dropped by a shocking amount. Even their t shirts are garbage now.
Definitely agree the quality has dropped so much since then. I don’t buy anymore m&n swingmans anymore either.
wash inside out
that’s why I hand wash my jerseys and flip them inside out
The safest way for any swingman new or old! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
It sucks The Big Wigs RUINED the jersey game!
The swingman line has gone downhill tremendously, I will say that! 😭
If you care about your Jersey 94 any piece of clothing….NEVER PUT THEM IN THE DRYER. Even your authentic jerseys will get ruined in the dryer
BIG facts!
How tall are you
5’9
Why not spend 5$ and let the dry cleaners take care of the jersey people?
Couldn’t agree with you more!
@@REZRECTION I’ve been having swingman from Nike, Adidas, and Mitchell and Ness from 04 to now and never damage any them. I take care of them when I wear them and if I get a stain on them I take it straight to the dry cleaners within the next 48 hours.
damn they melted!
😭😭😭
Avoid buying swingman jerseys this is my 3rd wash on mi raptors swingman jerseys and the stickers r taking off
Sad to say, this is what I’ve been trying to tell everyone! The current swingmans are no good!
1 jersey at the time.
Express wash around 30minutes/30degrees 60rpm and air dry. That does the trick for me
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but them jersey’s are fake. Them replica’s not real swingman.😂
That guy put the jerseys in the dryer
Unfortunate!
Dry cleaners I'm just saying
The way to go imho!
i take all my clothes to the cleaners . fuck it
Safest and best way in my opinion!
You can show the jersey in full screen when you’re talking about them. We don’t need to see you talking holding your phone as well.
IMHO Swingman jerseys are trash. I have the same issue that you do.
We just hold higher standards! Nothin’ wrong with that ✊🏽
Mitchell Ness swingman is crap.Waste of money.I Got both stitch (1st gen) and heat press (2nd gen) n both are trash on quality.1st Gen fades and 2nd Gen just peals off.Selling all my MnN swingman n will NEVER buy one again.
Authentics > superior to swingmans
Folks be washing their bootlegs then wonder why lok
😂😂😂😂
Mitchell and ness jerseys suck
Authentics are 3 times the price Lmao that’s why people but swingmans
Surprisingly, you can find authentics for the price of swingmans. You just need to be patient and search for them, but they pop up every now and then!
swingman is junk
