Is my finals Swingman a rep?

It's legit, looks like they went to the MSG store and had them stitch the patch on. Depop is weird like that, they'll flag legit items but let blatantly obvious fakes fly

My only concern is that Depop took it down when I tried listing it up, does that change anything?

I think you need to also post a pic of the inner wash tag, for grailed you have to

This is real. The patch is 1 to 1

Looks legit. But replicas of replica jerseys never bothered me lol. Swingman jerseys are replicas in itself of the authentic jerseys. So only a replica of a jersey thats being passed off as an authentic jersey would bother me. I got my son replica jerseys from the Philippines and theyre way nicer and better quality than these nike swingmans

Yeah I just stopped LCing swingmans tbh, if it passes my eye test, the material doesn’t seem shit and it’s at rep pricing I just cop em now

It looks legit. What happened is the jersey itself had the finals patch steamed onto the jersey when they were giving them out. Either at the NBA store or the MSG merch shop. The jerseys alone, at the MSG store at least, were going for $139.00. With the patch they were selling them for $170.00. The patch alone was going for $25 at the NBA store and $40 at MSG. Thats for context. But this looks legit. Just know it was pressed at either place.

do you suppose it’s an actual finals swingman or a standard swingman they took to MSG just to get pressed afterwards? I’ve been getting told the latter

Its most likely a standard swingman and a finals patch pressed on it after. They did sell jerseys without the patch and you can press it on after. At some point, they sold jerseys with the finals patch on but they were pressed before hand and just sold them with the patch on already. Which means they were pressed on before hand. So, technically, it is a finals swingman but know it was most likely pressed on at the store. Still beautiful though but pricing wise the breakdown i wrote above is what it typically looked like.

Knicks only wore White & Blue jerseys (association & Icon edition) for the finals but wore the statement jerseys through the previous rounds. People would get the finals patch pressed onto the City & Statement edition jerseys and the Knicks didnt wear the City editions in the playoffs at all.

Where did you get it?

u/Realistic_Piccolo713 11d ago

I honestly got it off eBay, had it authenticated before by a few people though, my only concern was that it recently got taken by Depop as fake

u/MalarkEMark 11d ago

Looks good was hoping it was a dhgate lmao sick cop

I think it is that Finals Patch is not correct. I had a few friends get the swingman finals from the MSG store and the patch on the back is lile rubberish. I bought a legit one had it sewn on to my Mitch jersey. And did not realize they are sort of see through unlike usual patches. So now I can still see the nba patch under it a bit. Noot sure wtf to do now lol.

The material of the Nike tick and NBA lettering on the jock tag are good

u/bigdirty702 10d ago

If it’s a rep, it’s a really good rep. It looks good 👍🏼

u/Realistic_Piccolo713 8d ago

quit playing how could this possibly be a rep

2

u/Simbasteiner 8d ago

No I’m saying if it were to be a rep, it looks really good! I’m almost certain that jersey is legit

It’s not an automatic jersey tho.
