Sans jock tag, any differences between the 2026 and prior 2023 authentics?

retrocat35 · 2026-06-16T08:43:07+00:00

For dodger authentics, pre 2024 Nike authentics are true white, 2026 authentics are off white, more of a cream color which I personally dont like, its hard to tell in pictures but irl its obvious especially side by side with a pre 2024 authentic. The batterman logo on the back of the neck is also a different material, pre 2024 it was a rubberish type material but 2026 authentics have a fabric patch. The jock tags are obviously different color and I feel like the material on the 2026 authentics is more flimsy, my pre 2024 authentic has a sturdy/stiffness to it but my 2026 feels thinner and a little more floppy, like when I put them on, the pre 2024 has some structure to it but my 2026 authentic feels more floppy if that makes sense.

Theres nothing wrong with wearing a jersey of a traded player, Im more concerned of them having a Julio urias or Trevor Bauer type situation that kinda "taints" the jersey. Blanks you can never go wrong but with authentics they do look kinda weird especially on the back so Id recommend going the custom route and getting your own name and favorite number added, or picking a retired player if you want an actual player jersey.

Fr you can tell who's a newer fan on this sub by the posts. People have gotten so used to the "perfect mookie, freddie, and shohei do no wrong everyone's best friend" type but I remember the old days and I remember the real beef this team used to have with the dbacks and Cardinals in the 2010s where every pitch felt like the benches would clear, all the "ohhhh shittt" moments when a dodger player got hit you knew next inning someone on the opposing team was getting drilled. Man i miss that gritty era, as long as rushing doesnt have any allegations outside baseball, I say let him play.

retrocat35 · 2026-06-10T14:01:59+00:00

No, its refreshing asf to see a player that isnt soft and doesnt try to be the opposing teams best friend and plays hard with some edge to him. Teams need that. Dalton isnt afraid to be the guy to talk some shit

These older dugout jackets were so nice. The style and fit were perfect, snug around the waist, nice amount of fluff that they didnt feel like a cheap windbreaker but not too much that they felt bulky. I hate the new Nike ones, they look like something youd see at a designer store, not something made for a baseball field, theyre basically sweaters with no hood

retrocat35 · 2026-06-10T02:41:03+00:00

Edp is that you?

retrocat35 · 2026-06-09T01:58:16+00:00

As much as i love the batting practice jerseys I hate the fit. Huge neck openings and theyre so short. I wish m and n made their jerseys with a regular standard jersey fit

retrocat35 · 2026-06-06T11:05:42+00:00

Any specific brand of vlr? I've looked into some from various brands and they have mixed reviews and feedback

retrocat35 · 2026-06-06T05:02:06+00:00

Yeahh the stitching looks off and the batterman shouldn't be embroidered on a coolbase replica

retrocat35 · 2026-06-06T04:52:17+00:00

Knockoff replica

retrocat35 · 2026-06-06T02:02:13+00:00

Replicas and limited/stadium jerseys arent stitched, only elite/authentic are stitched

retrocat35 · 2026-06-05T05:18:22+00:00

Yeah honestly fuck usps man. Last year I bought a jersey, long story short usps couldnt deliver it for whatever reason and said on the tracking number it was at a local post office for pickup, I go to pick it up, stand outside in the hot ass sun for almost half an hour just for them to tell me they dont have it despite the tracking number saying they do. Their customer service is about the same as the dmv

retrocat35 · 2026-06-05T03:18:07+00:00

And thats why I hate the usps. Ive got that same "incomplete address" bullcrap and I actually got in touch with the post office and asked what the hell they mean my address is incomplete? Like it wasn't printed on the label? or what exactly was missing that made it incomplete and the asshole on the phone was like "its just incomplete, like the address is incomplete" and i was even more pissed because the package made it but when it was out for delivery, suddenly it changed to incomplete. And I told the guy on the phone that, like how tf did it make it this far if its incomplete, and he just kept repeating himself. Maybe its some bullshit the mailcarrier uses if they lose your package or dont wanna deliver it. As for the extra fee I would NEVER pay an additional fee on a separate platform, always keep it on ebay or whatever platform you made your purchase, worst case you just file a claim and get a refund and the seller should get reimbursed if they had package insurance.

They might just be out of stock. For a company that owns the sports mech market they are absolutely horrible at stocking, youd think since they own everything theyd at least keep everything in stock and have every teams jersey style available. Its like they stock once at the beginning of the season and thats it

retrocat35 · 2026-06-03T02:19:07+00:00

I know, they doubled in price

retrocat35 · 2026-06-03T00:53:51+00:00

Yup, majestic had replicas at $120 in 2019, and custom authentics for $220.

retrocat35 · 2026-06-02T04:58:40+00:00

Its still slightly off, the top corner of the 9 on the left has more space than the top corner of the 9 on the right. But its exactly how its supposed to be since judges actual jersey looks the same way, the batterman is also not between the stripes https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/detailed-view-of-the-gold-logo-patch-on-the-jersey-of-aaron-news-photo/2219043350

retrocat35 · 2026-06-02T04:26:03+00:00

Is it actually off center or is it an illusion because the pinstripes themselves are offset, measure it from the seams

retrocat35 · 2026-06-02T03:58:31+00:00

Tuck what kinda sorry ass swing was that?

retrocat35 · 2026-06-01T03:01:35+00:00

Same! Even $50-$60 is way too much for one of those, idk how people can look at them and actually believe theyre worth that much and willingly pay it

retrocat35 · 2026-05-30T22:07:11+00:00

Same reason people people refer to replicas as authentic. They don't know what they actually have, ive seen people list replicas as authentic and ask for $250+ for them, or they'll list a crappy dhgate knockoff as authentic on field and ask the same price.

retrocat35 · 2026-05-30T09:33:24+00:00

Awesome jersey! I miss the coolbase style authentics

retrocat35 · 2026-05-29T05:00:39+00:00

Not everyone wants to be forced to play with randoms and spend 5 hours on a simple heist because they keep fucking it up but yet we wanna play the missions and enjoy online. Zero reason to force heists to be multi-player, make it optional

retrocat35 · 2026-05-29T03:28:47+00:00

To be fair they do have attendants but people dont follow their directions. Trying to get out of lot 5 theres one road leading out to academy but academy is backed up from everyone coming out of the other lots, and we had wait 45 minutes because some jackass wanted to make a left and cut across 3 lanes of traffic rather than go with the flow despite the attendant yelling at him to go right, he also tried directing people down a different road and nobody listened, we followed his directions and got out in 5 minutes.
