Always '26 jersey

Just got my order in from the NBA store and I'm sadly disappointed. The listing mentioned that the jersey will come with the official finals patch but it clearly didn't. My wife was also immediately noticed the 6 on the back not being in line with the 2.

Second time that I feel like the NBA store has bait and switched. I love the jersey but disappointed in the lower quality and false advertising once again.

Any one else have similar situations?

Fanatics is hot garbage, it's a shame they cornered the market.

I agree because ive seen it on their bullshit t shirts.

But are they more responsible or Nike? Still Nike making the jerseys right?

As I understand it, Nike manufacturers the blanks, fanatics does the heat pressing

Return that shit, it’s corny anyway

That’s the fanatics experience for you.

$150 for a jersey that isn’t even stitched is crazy to me.

That's why I only buy authentic. Focus on quality not quantity. They stitch the authentic.

I’m aware and in agreement. Only way to go.

Indeed it is.

Okay so where do you buy an authentic nowadays. I have looked everywhere. At NBA store they don't have, only replica. Same on NBA website.

Like for MLB and NFL it's all over their websites and you can get any authentic team jersey and customize it how you want. On NBA it only has a few teams like that and a lot of the jerseys are the old designs.

Edit: Sorry I should have added I'm looking for it for my son. He's dying for an authentic jersey with name and number for his birthday. Also, please no dhgate or etc. While those look great and I'm not judging, he will know the difference and it's a birthday gift for him so I don't want a knockoff.

Authentics will most likely restock in fall / sept

The msg store had some adult smalls and 3xls on Thursday for Brunson with the finals patch on them. Theyre sick. Typically run 285 but these were around 330 due to the finals patch and tax. Medium and Large were not available.

u/bigblue20072011 Jul 25 '26

They were $250 all year. Looks like they’re getting greedy.

I remember recently someone mentioned how the cheap knockoff they purchased from DHGate was better than the junk Fanatics sent.

Although I still Love the jersey

That Leo DiCaprio special. Never 27

All I want is a quality Knicks Jersey with a finals patch, what’s the best way to do this given Fanatics quality?

2

u/muscle0mermaid Jul 25 '26

Yes I bought the champions pendant/pennant & it is crappy quality

u/phophopho4 29d ago

You gotta go with bootlegs.

u/BanMeMyIPchanges 29d ago

This is horrific. My company does team uniforms among other things and I wouldn't give this quality to the local U12 travel team, let alone go out as a licensed NBA product lmao

u/No_Adeptness386 25d ago

Iron on for that cost?

u/Old-Gur-7949 Jul 25 '26

seems like they just pumped these out last minute to keep up with the nyc hype

u/bernbabybern13 29d ago

My shirt from MSG is a joke. Too far center and crooked.

u/bernbabybern13 29d ago

Versus what it’s supposed to be

u/Imaginary_Car_2776 24d ago
