It sucks that Nike MLB authentic jerseys have higher prices now and they're outsourced unlike how Majestic had all their authentic jerseys made in U.S.A. But those issues were inevitable with Nike taking over the MLB contract.
The manufacturer hasn’t actually changed since Nike took over. (Not that that justifies the price increase.)
The Nike jerseys are being made in the same exact factory in Pennsylvania that the Majestic ones were done in.It's basically a formality with price markups whenever a company takes over a contract unfortunately.
Please clarify how the manufacturer hasn't changed since Nike took over since they're a company themselves.
I forgot to elaborate in my previous post it's basically the same jersey Flex Base jersey design originated by Majestic but the only differences when Nike took over are the company logo on them, outsourced, and higher price.
The Nike jerseys are being made in the same exact factory in Pennsylvania that the Majestic ones were done in.
That's what I read about the manufacturing before Nike took over. But why are there Made In China labels on the authentic jerseys if they're still being made in that same Pennsylvania, U.S.A. factory?
Here’s a few things I recently picked up. Tempted to customize the A’s blank. Just not sure who to make it into. The reebok NFL authentics I ended up getting for a pretty good price. The TD and Sehorn were ebay pickups, and the Bosa vapor elite I got off OfferUp.
Could be that the base jersey is made in China but they stitch the rest of it at the factory in Easton. I recall seeing that many of the teams share the same base jerseys but the logos/patches are different.The majority of the final product has to be made in the country to be considered “made” in that country.
Different companies word it differently including calling it “...assembled” or “handcrafted” in the USA but over 40% of the production is made away from it.
There are NO MLB authentics made in China.
They are almost all USA made. Some reports of possibly some in El Salvador (very very few). The current Nike jerseys are literally the Majestic jerseys with the Swoosh. Nike is still developing their own template.
I understand the Nike MLB authentic jerseys are basically Majestic Flex Base jerseys just with a different corporate logo now. Back in Feburary I'm positive I saw a label on a jersey that stated it was made in a foreign country, if it wasn't China, then it was still definitely foreign.
I feel rr012200 is correct with his theory about the base jerseys being made in a foreign country and the finishing touches with the team specs are applied at the Easton factory. Perhaps that explains why the fonts and details of the letters and numbers of an authentic Dodgers Cody Bellinger I saw resembled a Majestic jersey.
I'll try to check again for clarity whenever malls reopen in my vicinity.

I need M&N to make that Eli jersey. Don’t think I’ve ever seen smaller than a 52 and those jerseys run big
that Keith Hernandez is nice. I’m loving that Dickey you posted above too. I got a blank white Rawlings in the same style as the Franco you posted which I eventually need to send to stitches to turn into a Piazza. That and grey road New York Piazza are my priorities right now. But it seems like a size 48 never pops up.
If you are interested in the Dickey ‘89 TBTC, let me know. It’s a team issued but not game worn. It was originally a blank size 46 that fits like a mumu on me.
VF/Majestic had been trimming down their stuff for years heading towards this eventual nonUS made situation. VF sorta did the same thing with Mitchell Ness with more jerseys being made in China.
Kisscut logos and fewer nameplates was probably done to speed up process on stitching. Probably R&D to switch to flex base was probably made to see how cheaper you can make the jersey in the Asian factories.
More than likely the Fanatics warehousing is connected now to Easton plant so they don’t overproduce jerseys that they have to sell on clearance. Gosh I miss those days of bargain basement traded jerseys.
Just got this in. 2003-04 Luc Robitaille ccm authentic jersey. Quality on these things is on point.
