So I just saw a Jordan Adidas jersey in red stitched with no Adidas logo on the right chest; looks authentic. How is this possible? was there a way to customize a jersey during Adidas’ run as uniform sole provider of all types of jerseys?
Hi, im looking for info in my Champion cleveland cavaleers 23 James jersey. Mine is made in Korea and “designed exclusively for the players of the nba”. Ots more of a red than a wine color so my stepdad is saying its a fake. But it looks legit to me. I coukd send photos?
Champion stopped making replica jerseys after the 2001-2002 season (before Lebron started playing). So it would have to be a Champion Europe jersey. The letter/numbers would be dye sublimation (part of the fabric, not shiny/rubbery like heat press). It would NOT have numerical size on the jocktag, but rather M, L, XL. And on the inside hemline should be a label that says “Designed and Marketed by Champion Europe.” If the jersey is authentic, meaning it has sewn tackle twill logo/numbers/letters, it’s definitely a fake since Champion Europe was only authorized to make replicas. The fact you say the tag says “Made in Korea” sounds like it’s a fake authentic jersey, because the Champion Europe replica jerseys do not have any manufacturing info on the jock tag or neck tag.
Hey,
I’m from Germany. I have a Cavaliers Champion Europe Jersey from Lebron James with sewn twill Logo/numbers. I’m a 100% sure that it is real tho. There was a short time, probably in 2005 when you could buy some NBA jerseys here in Germany with sewn twill numbers/logos. I bought it at a serious big name store named Kickz. I think they only had them for one season.
Sorry, I’m not as familiar with the Champion Europe jerseys. But I believe Champion was only able to create/sell replica jerseys in Europe due to license that Reebok had at that time.
This is really helpful. Thanks

Sorry, I don’t really know much about Adidas jerseys. My expertise is limited to 1980s – early 2000s and mainly Sand-Knit and Champion.
