2024 MLB Nike Vapor Premier Elite Jersey Review

As a jersey enthusiast, I was really excited to receive my Toronto Blue Jays 2024 Nike Elite Jersey…until I saw it. Hopefully the players like it, as it was made for players and not middle aged fans like me. Can’t see these New Jerseys being well received though by fans who have owned the previous years’ authentic jerseys.

[@lukepaterson9893]

You may have just saved a lot of people a lot of money. Thank you Sir

[@RUmlas]

That third jersey is the onfield jersey? Wow. That's brutal. Glad I stocked up on Majestic and Majestic/Nike's before this season.

[@fpjrzman]

The third jersey is NOT the on-field jersey

[@pulle88]

Sadly it is, higher price, way lower quality @@fpjrzman

[@SoraMatt]

​@fpjrzman nope it absolutely is the real on field one. Players are PISSED. It's all over X and KZbin.

[@fpjrzman]

​​@@SoraMatt false. Elite jerseys aren't yet available. That is a Limited, the only one available for purchase at this time. EDIT - I'm wrong. Apparently they ARE available for purchase. If that's the Elite, and based on similar images online, it looks accurate, then no MLB jerseys in my immediate future I'm now terrified of what this means for the NHL in October.

[@SoraMatt]

@fpjrzman all good dude. He literally bought it from the Jays shop at the Dome, it was absolutely the price point, and the players are indeed losing it ATM.

[@velociraptorgod7404]

not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.

[@OGS2099]

Fanatics is a disaster. We'll be seeing this with NHL jerseys once their deal kicks in next season. I hope MLB & Nike fix this. Not acceptable

[@mikeklein1779]

As terrible as Fanatics is, the MLB jerseys were completely Nike's doing. Nike developed the fabric, the template, and the specifications.

[@TOOMUCHSAUCE91]

The MLB is turning into the new NBA. Take care of your majestic jerseys !!

[@ChicagoCubs4Life89]

When fanatics first bought Majestic they agreed to make/manufacturer Nike jerseys for Nike, in the old Majestic factory. When the materials ran low, they dumped the Majestic template hence no changes between the Nike/Majestic jerseys 5 years ago till 2023. Its called "brand washing". For all the collectors on here, grab your Majestic replica & maybe a newer Nike replica, compare, they just changed the heat pressed tags/stopped sewing the logos/numbers. Even when Fanatics took over, they made the nikes heat pressed. That started the downfall. Fanatics has no interest in quality. I just cant wait to see what they do to the NHL jerseys....ugh. Great Video brother. The only time brand washing heloed was when Addidas who owned Reebok, took over & made.the quality better.

[@UHaulShorts]

i miss starter jackets

[@TysonHook-22-]

The introduction of Adidas Jerseys didnt come without hiccups though... they had that weird button thing for a year or 2 instead of a jock tag and I also recall fans disliking the collars cut or the collar crest... maybe even both i forget exactly... also there were logo complaints but Adidas took the fan/player criticisms in and fixed most of the complaints. The Adidas era will for sure be looked back upon fondly, overall they made some major and much needed improvements to the long outdated fit/perfoirmance of hockey jerseys... Its a little known fact though, that Adidas "authentics" are not true pro stock player authentics, but rather production authentics meaning yes they are closer to the real deal then a replica... but no they are not a pro stock player authentic which has been a dissapointment. Whereas during the CCM jersey era, CCM made cheap fan replicas and pro stock NHL authentics, if you brought a CCM authentic it was literally made right along side the team issued players jerseys and for this reason alone many fans to this day will typically agree that CCM made the best authetics the NHL ever had. The CCM authentics were Made in Canada to boot! but even CCM had flaws and near the end of the contract began producing some of the authentics overseas. With the resurgence of CCM hockey products in recent years, I know a lot of fans hoped that CCM would be able to regrab the jersey exclusivity deal.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

That is somewhat surprising Majestic still had years of material left after they were replaced by Nike.

[@N8R_Quizzie]

I noticed on my Mariners replicas that the numbers and letters didn't have any amount of colored twill or stitching or whatever and just went to a flat polyester number / letter. There was a silvery border and then it was just all flat. Now the 2024's look like a different navy color on the numbers and letters lol.

[@UHaulShorts]

[@345Taco]

That Jays Logo pops so much more on the previous years' authentics. It just looks like a replica now

[@keylens.6900]

Thank you for the review. Quite frankly disappointed in the new Nike template. Looks worse than knockoffs. Wouldn't be surprised if they started to rip like the Nike NBA jerseys did a few years ago.

[@TysonHook-22-]

good point, I mean with the amount of sliding and diving done in baseball it wouldnt surprise me to see the new nike uniforms get shredded up on the field.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

You read my mind. I vividly remember how much Nike's NBA uniforms kept ripping during games when they first took over for Adidas.

[@tomdiets5079]

I would by a nice knock of for 25 30 dollars way before this, I have a few knock offs that look just as good, as long as you go to the right website the knock offs are fine.

[@strugglinghustler]

Back in my day, heat press logos were knockoffs, and embroidered logos were the official gear. I haven't been hardcore into baseball since I was a kid but was browsing the jerseys online last week for fun, and was so confused I could only find heat pressed logo jerseys and not EMBROIDERED logos. I was looking all over the MLB Shop site multiple times thinking I was looking in the wrong place for the official jerseys... 🤦‍♂️

[@hanshoong]

I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for the great review.

[@georgemandigo3857]

I am also a jersey snob, I own 32 Padres jerseys between different eras of home, road and alternate jerseys, the vast majority being authentic. You are 100% correct in everything you say. This years “Premier Elite” jersey is a huge step down in quality. I hear they are switching back next year, let’s hope they really do.

[@claytonroitenberg1935]

So glad MLB players are speaking out about this one Of them said it feels like I’m wearing a replica they are basically selling replicas as authentics now making an extra 300 bucks.. terrible I live across the street from the twins pro shop I’m gonna go see if they have any authentics from last year still I’m sure they do and grab a home and hopefully away. Thank you for the video I didn’t realize how bad they are I was about to order a twins one but I’m gon do the same thing u did

[@PRStorm99]

I was really looking forward to this change being a Yankees fan, I hated the previous design only when it came to pinstripes because of the drop tail cutting the pinstripes off. But now with the quality looking so off. I’m cautiously waiting. Was really looking forward to finally grabbing a Judge jersey.

[@PRStorm99]

@@jaybruno3571 I’m real picky when it comes to jerseys, i like it to be similar to the player wore for the season. I have a ton of older Majestic already dedicated to older Yankees. Still gonna buy this Nike template when it comes on sale to see if it looks as bad for the Yankees. If I don’t like it I’ll just return it. Still cautious though.

[@georgenoriegajr]

The Yankees are going to have minimal changes, if any, since the home pinstripes have the interlocking NY on the front, numbers on back, and no patches or names. The roads have the New York across the front, numbers on back, no patches or names. So at least there isn't going to be the cheapening of logos and patches that other teams like the Blue Jays and Mariners are going to have. The Batterman logo is going to be lower so that's going to look like crap, but really with the elimination of the side panels and the drop tail, the 2024 Yankees jerseys shouldn't *look* that much different from the ones from prior years, since their uniform design has always been so minimal. The jersey *material* is another story though; it's definitely going to FEEL cheaper, and if the Vapor Elites have TRUE on-field specs, the numbers on the back are going to be perforated, which looks pretty chintzy. Plus the elimination of the white outlines on the "New York" and numbers, and the elimination of the sleeve trim on the road jerseys is a big downgrade IMO.

[@PRStorm99]

@@georgenoriegajr yes I’m aware of the changes, I’ve been following them more closely. I only really grab authentic versions. I’ve never cared for the replica/swing look. So I haven’t gotten a newer style home Yankee jersey since Majestic switch over to the flex base template. The drop tail missing the pinstripes always bugged me too much. So I’m excited to see the Elite versions in hand. I got a lot of fanatics gift cards from Christmas (family didn’t know what else to get me lol). So I won’t really miss my own money lol. As for our new roads, I wanna see them in person before I really have an opinion, although i like the idea of us going back to the pre-70s look.

[@watant007]

Thank you for the review ! As a fellow jersey snob I’m glad somebody else is bothered by these changes.I hope your video inspires everybody else to not purchase these cheaply made jerseys so nike/fanatics can make the changes needed.

[@tombevans]

This is why I haven’t bought a new jersey since the mid 90’s lol. I get they want it better and breathable for the players but as a a fan you don’t get your moneys worth. In 2016 I tried to by an Indians Jersey before the season and I just felt they weren’t as put together as the 1990’s Russell Athletic jerseys. I have both the home and away for the Indians (NOT Guardians) and Browns jerseys. That’s good enough for me.

[@DavidJohnson0708]

Thank you for this. I have been concerned about buying the 2024 season jerseys for myself and my son because of all the quality concerns. So thank you for doing an up close comparison, especially with my favorite teams jerseys!

[@Regitags]

I believe the middle Jersey is a team issued Jersey. It has the QR code tag on it. Very cool Jersey to have. I have the Seattle Mariners city connect version.

[@jorgealan997]

Glad i got my jerseys from Majestic before they went to Nike. I wanted to buy a Nike but when i saw it in person and tried it on, It felt cheap and that it would break. Will definitely get the Majestic ones from eBay to collect

[@jasonohara8372]

MLB should be embarrassed. I'm a Phillies fan. For decades, the crest on the front of the uniform was chain-stitched. It was gorgeous. That's now been trashed and replaced with flat twill.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Cardinals chain stitching was downgraded as well. And now the whole logo is surrounded by an ugly white border.

[@jasonohara8372]

@@fantasticvoyage262 Absolutely terrible. I'm kicking myself for not buying an authentic Cards jersey last year when I had the chance. That crest is iconic.

[@simplydan]

@@jasonohara8372you can always shop around like eBay or example. I been wanting a trout jersey for years and after reading up on this I finally decided to get one and a great deal too.

[@zhaneranger]

As an armchair baseball fan, I really like the thick polyesters days from majestic and Russell. I only have one of the newer cut Majestic cuts, but I’m not a fan of the diaper butt. Thank goodness I don’t need the latest players. eBay is like a treasure trove of authentics. Why don’t MLB authentics hold their value like NBA of NFL?

[@Iamapersoncommenting]

Cannot wait for the sales to tank so they’re forced to improve the quality. If you want to make professional uniforms, you have to use premium materials and craftsmanship. The team name stitching looks like a school project

[@RUmlas]

I was at the Blue Jays game when they played at T Mobile Park, and checked out the M's new 2024 on-field jersey. They are heavier than before versions. I don't mind the materials used, it reminds me of the Nike NBA authentic jerseys.

[@cokesquirrel]

When I lived in china I bought about 60 Mitchell and ness football baseball basketball and hockey jerseys. So what happens over there is The factories are located there And Somebody bribes somebody To produce the jerseys after hours for personal sale I don't think I ever paid over $15 for 1 of them If you know what you are looking for you can see that the quality is not quite the same as the Legally produced ones but it's almost identical Anytime I want anything now from any designer I just go through contacts and china who haven't made it the factory

[@chrismajernik7854]

Yes, good review and good comparisons. I am a jersey snob as well ha ha. Especially for proper cresting. I agree, they look cheap. I have a closet full of Pro /authentic hockey, baseball and football jerseys. I stopped buying new MLB Jays jerseys when Nike put their logo on the front.

[@chickenfkeryay]

Good video, surprised this doesn't have more views considering the backlash fanatics is getting these past few days. I honestly dont think the new authentic is as bad as others say however I definitely see a downgrade on that logo.

[@WhatevrNevrmnd]

You are 100% correct. Nike is putting out subpar light weight product and claiming it's for performance reasons. But basically they're selling replicas saying they're authentic. If I'm paying 200+ for a jersey I want it to feel like $200+ of material, time and care put into making it.

[@enrico13ryan]

As a Cubs fan, I’m glad I stocked up on Majestic authentics before the change. Kind of sucks , since I was really looking forward to finally upgrading to a newer Nike authentic. Money saved, thanks for this video

[@NOSWiL]

i miss the majestic jerseys, glad I grabbed a bunch

[@MiguelRodriguez-ry9wg]

Yes I agree quality instead quantity 💯 percent ! Majestic was the best to do it imo.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Excellent comparison. I have shared my disappointment with all the new downgrades in quality as well. I'm not happy with the lower quality embroidery on the logos either.

[@joewhip9303]

These are patterned after the Nike match shirts in soccer. I have a few. They are designed to be worn once. With MLB, they traditionally have issued each player two sets of home and road unis. They are going to have to supply way more with this design.

[@christopherderoy3153]

Vintage baseball jerseys are the best, especially Rawlings, Sand Knit and Majestic

[@prberg2]

Thanks for the video. I really don't like the changes they made to the Jerseys this year. Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys look quite a bit worse than the past version. The white color is not correct, and the lettering on the front isn't lined up right (it cuts in the middle of one of the letters). Really a bummer that they (Nike/Fanatics) seemed to have cut corners to make more money.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I don't like that the middle 'd' in the team name is now split in half. It used to be perfectly broken between the 'o' and the 'd'.

[@NHLCrazy2007]

No, no, no... you are not a jersey snob. You want the highest quality for your money. Real collectors do! Thanks for showing the differences. The one thing to also keep in mind is that me as a hockey fan is deeply concerned over what Fanatics will put out there for "retail authentic" NHL jerseys. In the past like baseball, you can get the same on-ice jersey as the players. I know the same was true for MLB jerseys. Ever since Adidas took over NHL jerseys in 2017, they never offered the on-ice product, so collectors had to go to off market sales or team equipment sales to find the real jerseys. I worry Major League Baseball is going that direction now especially with Fanatics doing the manufacturing and deliberately cutting corners on quality. Maddening.

[@petepax]

Haven’t been able to but any “ authentic “ Red Sox jerseys like you said you can’t go back to heat pressed once u had the real thing

Thank you for the video. I travel once a year to St.Louis for a weekend series and love going to the authentic store to pick up a team issued authentic jersey, it’s a real shame that going forward the TI jerseys will essentially be overpriced replicas. Hopefully a change to the jerseys of the past is in the near future

[@zeroeffortmemes]

What a bummer. I have two authentics (both from the last year prior to Nike), unfortunately dont wear them too often since ones a bit small and the other a little big (wish they sold size 42 but oh well).

[@pulle88]

Also looks like the Blue Jay logo is a bit smaller on the 2024 authentic compared to the previous authentic. And it most likely is, because i see the Braves have a smaller script on the front of their jersey, and even the Tomahawk is smaller on these new 2024 jerseys ! And that is just awful.... also since you basically are getting a replica at a price that is higher than a 2023 authentic!!

[@brandonphillips3223]

This was fantastic. Thank you! You get us fellow jersey snobs!

[@RUmlas]

I called my local LIDS in the mall and inquired about the Vapor Elite cut as they have it advertised online but the person on the phone suggested I do more research as this version of the on-field is not worth the price. I had mentioned that I already knew but wanted to see one in the store to see for myself. SO it's nice some employees are cautioning consumers that this years jersey are inferior or at the very least wait until it goes on sale or until wholesail changes are made by the manufacturer's.

[@bhouser79]

Wow Nike completely dropped the ball on these authentic jerseys. The colors look dull, the small size of the lettering and logos looks bad. Thanks for the video!

Who wouldn’t have expected them to cheap out once they got their hands on all three of the major US sports. Sad because Nike used to be much superior.

[@OldGrimbeard]

I wanted to buy a Yankees jersey so bad before the start of the season but after this whole MLB and NFL jersey fiasco I refuse to support bad quality and just overall greed. I will not buy a jersey until affordable stitched jerseys come back and if they don’t then I’ll just remain jersey less and support my team through other companies.

[@matthewxramirez]

I'm so glad I found a Derek Jeter Yankees jersey before Nike had a chance to ruin the uniforms. It cost almost 200$ but I love it. IMO it was money well spent.

[@MenOfMayhem204]

We can blame fanatics all we want but ultimately Nike/MLB are responsible for this product hitting the market. Honestly this speaks volumes about all three companies.

[@elgmac73]

They way you feel about the new material being inferior, that's exactly the way i felt when jerseys moved from double knit to cool base and it got worse with Flex Base . Blue Jays and Yankees were the last two teams to wear Double Knit Onfield

[@OldGrimbeard]

It’s insane to me that it costs around $20 to make jerseys labor included and yet companies sell those items for $350 to the consumer.

[@bobbybushwhacker]

I agree with you! I started to really dislike wearing my jerseys when it felt cheap and everything was ironed on. You have to look VERY hard to find a well made jersey. Are they cutting costs to line their pockets at the expense of the customer?

[@dtrejo9182]

Holly crap they dropped the ball!!!

[@jchcollins]

I had heard some of the rumors, but never really checked it out. I’m a Cubs fan. Watched their first spring training game yesterday afternoon, and was aghast at how crappy these things look on the field. Pajama tops is right! And what’s with making the name lettering so small that you can’t even see it? This to me seems clearly at odds with the caps that have not changed, where many of the logos there are intentionally too big. Just very poorly thought out and implemented. Hopefully the MLBPA can get something done about it in the next month or so. Thanks for the video.

I bought the authentic Jays jersey last year and it was more than $300. I saw the list price for the Nike Vapor jersey and it’s only $180. Also the sizes are not numbers like 40, 44 , 48 .. but S, M, L, XL. Do you know what is going on?

[@RUmlas]

Those jerseys are not the on-field jersey. It's the limited version. Then the cheapest is the "replica." Just go on the Jays shop and shop the Jersey tab and see the three tiers of garbage. The one listed as "authentic" is the leftovers from last season. It's rather confusing to be honest how they tiered everything. Almost like they want to confuse consumers.

[@coltonclews4927]

Well I’m a collector I got about 11 of the 1st Nike authentics but I had to test it and see what’s going on, so I ordered a custom padres one. I had the 23 all star elite and I thought it was nice but I have definitely seen the pictures of regular teams and the quality has gone down

[@iLLESTMADE]

Glad to know I’m not missing out on anything

[@EXPERTISE]

Nike really screwed up with these new jerseys and I bet you most of the changes were made to cut down on costs and to increase the profit margins. Glad I got my authentic jersey when I did last year which is clearly superior in every way. Downgrading quality to try and squeeze more money is one thing, but they did it so blatantly obvious that anybody with two working eyes can see how poorly made the new ones are when side by side with the older authentic jerseys.

[@SmallHeathen]

It's unfair I think to blame Fanatics as they're only making the 'new' uniforms to Nike's specifications. As soon as Nike took over from Majestic the prices of jerseys and other sweatshirts and T-shirts were hiked upwards. What Nike seems to have done now is to 'update' the specification using what appear to be inferior components; these are not 'technical' fabrics, they're probably just cheaper to manufacture and yield a higher profit. You need only see the 'see through' pants and sweat stained jerseys to see that this is not an improvement and that these are not pieces of professional equipment. The decision to reduce the size of the lettering is just another manufacturing cost reduction and it's laughable of Nike to insist that this is somehow linked to performance. I'm not aware that the Yankees have enjoyed a competitive advantage in the past years because they have no names on their jerseys. Fundamentally, there was nothing wrong with the Majestic Flex Base jersey template that was also used by Nike until last season and the decision to change the uniform style this year seems to be largely profit driven.

[@rollwithdynamite]

im an Angels fan first of all..lol.. but i hunted down and bought a brand new, authentic Majestic flex base Blue Jays home jersey (because i don't like the nike adverts on the new jerseys, and the jays' white home jerseys are admittedly fresh af), for 180 bucks CAD! (i guess because it was outdated?), i couldnt belive it. just happened to be my size too. much better than having a huge ugly attention intrusive nike swoosh on it, alongside penny pinching, twopenny-halfpenny quality for 500 dollars. just good ole fashioned top teir quality sh-- . especially after these rediculous new jerseys they are putting out?? 😂.. worth every penny. ppl r getting effen ripped off and being used as human billboards left, right, and up the nann, and here i am... just f-----' killin it. 😏 i feel now for the dodgers fans who will now be paying 450 bucks for their beloved authentic ohtani jerseys... that are basically overpriced replicas 😅 no i dont. 😏 _i do kinda like the offwhite colouration over the clean,sharp white though._

[@TysonHook-22-]

Thanks for the comparison video. MLB jerseys have been the biggest rip off in sports for awhile, the pricing is absolutely absurd and such a disgusting form of price gouging to the most devoted of fans. Call me crazy, but imo a authentic high quality player jerseys should not cost more then $200-300 in this day and age... Theres just no world were a replica screen printed players jersey (essentially a button up tshirt) should cost $250 and an authentic player jersey nearly $600 CAD... And yes I know MLB jerseys long have featured some of the nicest logo embosing in all of sports... that still has never justified the insane cost imo... if thats the case then maybe New Era should charge $150 for a authentic on field hat with an embosssed logo and start making $60 screen printed replica hats, i mean... there really just leaving money on the table at this point by not doing it. Like c'mon now! a blank authentic Jays jersey from the MLBshop is currently $350 Canadian, a players authetic is $590... so I guess we are to conclude that the name and number costs $240 to install? LMFAO cause if thats the case well I know some hockey jersey shops in Canada, that are selling themselves extremely short by only charging $50 to install a hand stitched name plate and number onto an authentic jersey. Basically what im trying to say is the MLB lost the plot when it came to jerseys sales a long time ago and this right here only goes to further prove that... This stinks of a sly attempt to profit further off of fans solely at the expense of quality, like they literally sat down and thought to themselves.... you know since we already sell fans a jersey with a markup price of well over 100x, how could we save a few more dollars in our production and boost our profits that much further... so what if its a sub-par product theyll never notice the difference and even if they do who cares!.... cause we know its clearly not about putting out a better product for the fans and players thats for damn sure! The fact Nike has gotten away with selling fans not just a fanatic quality but litterally fanatic made jerseys for $600 is commical and infuriating at the same time, thankfully i dont own one!... Keep in mind that Nike/Jordan brand currently makes the NFL and NBA jerseys as well and an authentic is nowhere near $600 in those sports... so I dont know if MLB fans are richer, dumber or both but I dont think Nike is doing anything special with MLB jerseys that has ever justified them being 3x as expensive as any other sports jersey... Like maybe if they were made from cashmere and completely hand-stitched, then they might be worth a $600 price tag.

As the basketball collections moved out of the Made in the United States there still was a time where even some of the replica pieces were good, band for buck quality. How the times have changed. These are atrocious. Much like the Authentic Raptors jerseys they peddle now. I bought a Nike On-Field Jays jersey last year, as I had a feeling the Majestic factory and templates they purchased would be the end of an era. Certainly sad times.

"I'm a snob" dude for $200 bucks that jersey better look and feel nice no ifs, ands, or buts about it

Elite is also known as the limited vapor right? The one that's 175? I'm really tempted to get the ohtani 175 dodger jersey. Sorry guys 😭

You're better off just buying a cheap shirt.

Are you still looking for the Jays white authentic jersey? I have the Majesctic branded authentic on-field jersey. Only it's Josh Donaldson. But if you are interested let me know. I'm trying to sell off all my white jerseys. I can't be trusted to wear them, when I finally do. Most of my jerseys are stored and never worn.
