    Looks like the only difference is the price to me but I bet it is in how they are made. Personally, I'd go with the $17 but that's me.

    Basically, the Nike Swingman is nearly identical to the authentic Puma jersey in terms of material, placement and shape of pinstripes, logo, and shade of red.

    Here is the Champion White Replica

    This one is from the NBA Store so its not on sale, but Fogdog.Com has Francis Champion replicas for $17.

    True...My bad. I just checked Fogdog's prices only. You might want to try some other places online to see if they have Francis white for $17. The NBA Store has Francis white for $42.

    I guess no wants blue [​IMG]

    The Colors are slightly different.

    Smokey, at Oshmans the Champion Replicas sell for about $35. And the Nike $45

    I would go with the Blue Nike one if you don't mind dishing out the $10.

    The Champion jerseys don't really look blue, but black.

    Navy blue is such a slimming color....

    I like to wear the blue one for casual dinners and the white one for more fromal functions. I've seen it done either way so don't worry about anyone correcting you on your jersey etiquette. If she's really a special lady, go all out and wear the shorts and armbands as well. To take it a step further, insist that she call you steve and demand to see your crossover. Sometimes they charge a little extra but I assure you that it's worth it.
