How are the new rivalry stitched jersyes?

I've seen some of y'all post your stitched rivalry jerseys as they arrive. How do those of you who have purchased them like them so far? Are the nameplates stitched? How has the quality control been? I'm certain myself and many others are on the fence about buying one at their price point, but if they're noticeably better than the regular fantics jerseys, that might be the tipping point!

Just got mine today. Stitching is so much nicer and it looks great. Have a few bootleg ones that are decent as well but the official is much nicer. Got the rivalries caleb one

I'm pretty happy. Have a DHGate Loveland and an official stitched Williams. I'm wearing Williams every time for sure. Very happy with my purchase so far

Love to hear it! I'm copping a Loveland, Williams, Odunze, and Monongai for the entire fam.

They have stitched regular jerseys as well but only for a few players, if I were you I’d try to find a store that has them in stock and see for yourself

Those rivalry jerseys are a massive step up from the regular trash they normally put out. The nameplates are actually stitched, not that heat pressed junk that peels after 3 washes, and the numbers feel solid too. At that price it's still a bit of a wallet hit, but you're getting something that'll last more than a season.

Go nextlevelwholesale , all my sons are from there and other than one that was a bit small no complaints. And since he got it signed by thienemen size is no longer an issue

Mine (Rivals) rocked up today, compared to my non stitched home jersey its much better quality. Name and numbers all stitched, GSH logo all stitched, feels much better, looks much better. All imo of course, but im super happy with the buy.
