  I can't say that I would recommend it 100% and I will explain the reason. First of all, it is a "swingman jersey" (as correctly stated on the store's website) and not an authentic "on-field jersey." Although it looks great (impressive appearance, vibrant colors, quality stitching on the neckline and shoulders, quality fabric, very good & comfortable fit that corresponds to the sizing), it has a huge drawback that requires attention and I believe you should know before purchasing: NONE of the logos/letters/numbers are stitched, except for the star on the front seam of the neck and the small tags at the bottom front. All the rest are single polyester fabrics heat-pressed like stickers onto the main body of the jersey, which means that in the first wash in a washing machine (even with cold water + reduced spins) they will likely wrinkle or even worse, completely peel off. They should at least be as they are, but stitched with thread, at least around the perimeter of each one (as far as I researched, that's how Mitchell & Ness used to make them). The only thing they have instead is a supposed, virtual seam that is nothing more than a fake seam. For this reason, any washing in a machine is not recommended under any circumstances. Only by hand strictly, and very carefully with cold water, otherwise you will ruin it. The washing instructions, of course, do not mention this at all. I consider it very expensive for its quality, to the point of being unacceptable. At half the price, I believe it would be a product that might be worth buying. Anyway, it is up to the manufacturer at what prices they sell it, and not the current store, for which I have to say kudos to them for having this hard-to-find product because in Greece I don't think anyone else has it, thus saving us the extra shipping & customs fees. Ultimately, I am moderately satisfied with this purchase, but with the following caveat: I only recommend it to anyone who does not mind being obliged to wash it by hand and generally take care of it like the apple of their eye, otherwise we are talking about wasted money.

  Postscript 1: The product is much nicer when you have it in front of you. The photos do not do it justice.
  Postscript 2: Be aware that ALL Mitchell & Ness jerseys that are "swingman" and not authentic, regardless of player or team, have exactly the same quality and characteristics as this particular jersey. The difference is that the authentic ones have all the logos fully stitched and embroidered, and cost over €200...
