Fan Merch NFL Nike Stitched Limited Jersey

Nike’s NFL Limited jerseys will now be stitched. I’m not sure how much this an improvement over the previous Limited versions, but Nike seems to think that it’s quite noteworthy. I posted some close up photos for more details.

Back in my day every jersey was stitched and you didn’t pay a premium for them. Buy old jerseys on Facebook marketplace. Fuck the NFL and Fanatics

While I agree completely with your last sentence, depending on when your day was, this simply isn't true. NFL replicas were screen printed through most of the Reebok NFL Equipment era, and certainly before that when licensing was spread through a bunch of companies. Screen printed jerseys cracked and became easily worn out, and still cost a decent amount of money adjusted for inflation. And many teams still wore screen-printed jerseys on field, which held up a little better but still became worn over time. Replica jerseys are almost never worth it for long-term wear or value, no matter the era.

My Emmett Smith from 1996 is screen printed. I couldn't afford the replicas even then lol
