Anyone wanna tell me what these jersey swatches are from?

I'm sure it isn't either.

However their solution to this looks easy and cheap.

This my biggest problem with the college "used jersey" market. Press Pass uses real game used jerseys, which is great. Right now Leaf and UD are using "worn" jerseys. I get there aren't a ton of college jerseys out there. However, both are using the $60 retail Nike ones. There are other levels of jerseys to use for most big time programs that include sewn numbers. The screened on number patches just seem cheap, especially since it is nothing like the real thing.

Buying real game used jerseys is NOT easy (or cheap).... BG

Ah, the Leaf approach to autographs & memorabilia...

I get where BG is coming from. Actual college game used stuff is tough to come by because of a multitude of reasons. The most prevalent reason being that since they are amateurs they are rarely allowed to own their own jerseys and when they are sold in fundraising capacities, the names are stripped off the jersey. Therefore, with time the certainty of said jersey being worn by X player clouds.

The cheapest, easiest, and safest way to get a consumer a "worn" college jersey is usually not the game used route.

I assume this means no frills, minimal redemptions, and on card autos unless logistically impossible.

I get it as well..

I don't see how this spx release is anything but cheapened with event worn veteran jerseys.
