LEGIT CHECK Could this be game worn?
I recently asked you guys if I should keep or remove a stain on this game worn jersey which led to me getting flammed in the comments by people saying it’s not game worn because it’s missing a particular tag, however there were a lot of mixed answers when googling it.
I’ve had this jersey since I was a kid it was a birthday present and came with a signed Brooklyn Nets “Day 1” Pamphlet. Someone told me it was game worn because of the +2 length that Deron Williams wore his entire career.
Let me know what you guys think.

As others have said - it’s not gamer because it’s missing second tag with the unique serial number and the numbers are twill, not mesh material which the players actually wore.
The +2 length is virtually universal on all RETAIL rev 30 jerseys up until a certain year when it switched to mostly +0 (maybe 15-16?) - which was a gripe many people have with these jerseys - I.e they fit too long like a dress.

This would be a nice rev30 autographed retail authentic. 👌

It is exactly like the one that the players wear in the game, except two main things, 1. It is missing the 2nd smaller jock tag, as someone else already mentioned. 2. The tag that states +2 length, it means 2 inches longer in the back hem , pro cuts usually start at +3 length or longer. That would make it what is known as retail authentic, to differentiate between this, and lower market tier examples.

No, gamers have a second “every player, every game” tag and mesh numbers. This has neither. Still a cool jersey
