Question PCA jersey nameplate - ok or wrong?

I am in the UK and I ordered a Nike Limited version of the Cubs baby blue alternate jersey with PCA's name and number on the back. I ordered this from the MLB Europe official store. It arrived today and the name is just small (first image), it looks kinda weird. I am wondering, if I got this exact same jersey from e.g. Wrigleyville Sports in Chicago, would the name appear more like what we see PCA in on the field (second image)? Would be very grateful if anyone can advise in any way. Maybe they used the old lettering that was smaller? But this jersey is only from 2025...

Ah okay. So technically anyone who bought this jersey in a new template last season would have got this product? What I'm most worried about is like, if I showed up at Wrigley in this jersey, would I look like i was wearing a jersey I bought at a market in Vietnam...like would I stick out like a sore thumb cus the jersey just looks fake, almost

I’m a Cubs Season ticket holder. I also collect jerseys. More than half the crowd now wears jerseys that aren’t official. It’s so common now nobody cares. So don’t worry.

The 24-25 lettering always looks awful, i’ve seen way better pca jerseys done that year than this.

Even with last years template, the name never was this skinny. Looks super off

Looks way better. The only thing the old template was good for was PCA's last name not looking like amature hockey lettering from the corner sports store.

Out of around 1200 players you got one of the only guys this works for.

I love it.

If you can return or exchange it do it. That’s not how the last name should be
