Snagged a Ja’Marr White Nike Limited model jersey when Fanatics was doing their big sale a few weeks ago. I’d always go for the “Limited” model because, for like $30-$40 more, you’d get a significantly nicer jersey than the lower end “Game” model jerseys. Now the “Limited” models are $15 more than they used to be and only have heatsealed(?) numbers and letters. The only model of jersey you can get with stitched letters and numbers is $300+.

Edit: This video is a good explainer of the differences

I’ve been rocking my on field stitched jersey since Mahomes was a rookie. We’ve been through it all together. 100 degrees training camps, 100 degrees pre season games, 30+ regular/ post season games, snow games, -30 game, 13 second game, throw up on it from myself and others, beer thrown on me, smoke from the countless briskets that have been smoked, BBQ sauce plastered across the front, hot dogs fumbled down it, 3 Super Bowl celebrations of having it basically ripped off me, tears of happiness have been shed on it many times, tears of sadness, broke my ankle jumping off my truck after the Bengals AFCCG, you name it and it’s probably happened while I’ve had it on. Hundreds of days at this point of it being worn. An absolute tank.

Now to my main question. Where the heck do I find that quality these days? Those vapor jerseys don’t seem to be the same quality as this. I also have a white stitched on field but it doesn’t feel the same as the red. I’m fine with continuing this jerseys legacy but I’m looking for a refresher and to get this one signed and put it in my autograph room.
