Just like retro
sneakers, I have now started collecting jerseys that were popular when I was a
kid. Unlike the Champion brand jerseys
that were in style back in the 90’s, these new retro jerseys are from Adidas. They’re called Soul Swingman jerseys and retail
around a hundred dollars. The quality is
pretty good for the price, but I would have preferred a little more stitching,
such as double stitched numbers and letters.
They’re still better than Champion jerseys, and will definitely last you
longer.
Another complaint I
can mention about this jersey is the sizing.
The front is okay, but the back is too long (length +2). I assume it’s because they’re trying to make
them as accurate to the originals that the professionals play in, but honestly
I think it’s a mass market product that should look better with a pair of jeans
than tucked into shorts. For sizing I
recommend you either try a size on before you buy, or go down a size but keep
in mind it will also feel slimmer. This
is important for any guy that has a beer belly.
Overall I welcome
these retro jerseys from Adidas with open arms because it gives me a chance to
collect jerseys from the players I grew up watching. This is actually funny because once I start
thinking about all the jerseys I want, I start to lose count on how many
players I want. The variety can range
from decades (80’s to present), to teams, to home and away, and even jersey
designs from year to year (Chicago in cursive, Chicago Bulls). My only recommendation for Adidas would be to
keep the prices affordable, and to please include double stitching on letters
and numbers.
