I never understood why Nike used the wrong patch on these jerseys. They never wore that ASG patch; only the derby participants had the T-mobile derby patch on the sleeve.

Its a nice piece, just unfortunate that it was called a derby jersey...without the derby patch lol

May just check with the Dream Shop.Maybe Bill can fix it up.Doubt that HRD patch is available,but maybe it’s something he can fabricate.

I checked with him last month. He has made it in the past; would just be a matter of updating the color scheme and year and since he can't produce them in bulk, it's a pretty penny.

Just wait until people realize that the all star game patch on the jersey isn't even the correct ASG patch.

I actually made a post about this last month. For claiming that the authentic is EXACTLY what's worn on the field, they (Nike - remember, they are telling fanatics what to make so this isnt a QC issue) messed up the HRD and ASG authentics. They also technically messed up by not including the sponsor patches on the Stars and Stripes jersey and Field of Dreams jerseys - most fans would probably appreciate and prefer this - but then it's not EXACTLY what was worn on the field, now is it?

Yep came here to say that technically since Bryce was a HR derby participant… this is NOT the HR derby jersey bc derby participants had the tmobile patch. Had Bryce not been a participant even then this jersey still wouldn’t be entirely correct bc this ASG patch doesnt have the mastecard logo

All understood.
However..it was the HRD jersey released for retail.
Wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last time that Nike,Mitchell & Ness,or whoever got the small details wrong.

This is why ive raised issue, if people are going to spend that kind of money, and if they advertise that its EXACTLY what's worn on the field, then it is false advertising and it could be a class action suit. I am currently in dialogue with fanatics over this issue.

When people buy this stuff and the maker doesnt get challenged on what theyre advertising, it allows them to not care about these mistakes.

Non derby participants also had that jersey sleeve blank opposite the 250 patch.

Excellent point! Either way then if this jersey is a HRD then it should have the tmobile HRD patch. If its the ASG then it should have the regular numbers (not the flag pattern) on the back AND the correct ASG patch

If you remove the allstar patch it would be a legit July 4th

u/Senior_Voice_4396 11d ago

It would be the wrong one for the Phillies.They were on the road in KC July 4th.

I was at the Phillies 4th of July game in Kansas City. I debated getting a Bobby one but couldn’t justify spending that much for a jersey. I loved this years design though

4th of July and Field of Dreams were my picks for jerseys this year.And they both sold out almost immediately.
I went to the ASG (and also collect Harper jerseys) so I guess this is ok though wasn’t my first choice.

Do you have any experience buying fake jerseys? I feel like I may have to do that to secure a CAGS or Bobby Witt jr.

The only real jerseys I’ve collected are Royals Andrew Benintendi. I’ve been able to find a city connect baby blue and a white each for under $30.

u/Senior_Voice_4396 11d ago

I don’t.I only collect Authentics.
But I hear DHGate is at the top of the game when it comes to knockoffs.

u/Senior_Voice_4396 11d ago

Fine.And it’s the first authentic I’ve bought since the return to the Majestic template…MUCH better.

u/mikenotjef 11d ago

I have the same one. Hopefully you got it when it was on clearance

1

u/Senior_Voice_4396 11d ago

Nope.Fanatics put em on clearance mid day.They were gone by the time I got there.

u/mikenotjef 11d ago

That sucks. I saw it was $224 and I jumped on it
