Pristine Auction offers both custom jerseys and authentic jerseys. Understanding the difference can help buyers choose the option that best fits their collection and budget.
Custom Jerseys
Custom jerseys, sometimes referred to as “on-field style” jerseys, are a popular and budget-friendly option within the memorabilia industry.
These jerseys are commonly purchased for autograph displays and collectible purposes.
Features of Custom Jerseys
Custom jerseys typically:
- Do not include official brand logos or league tags
- Replicate the general on-field style worn by professional athletes
- Are designed primarily for collectible and autograph use
Depending on the jersey style and manufacturer, names and numbers may be:
- Stitched
- Heat-pressed
- Screen printed
Specific jersey construction details may vary by item and should be reviewed in the auction listing when provided.
Custom jerseys are widely used throughout the sports memorabilia industry because they provide an affordable display option while maintaining a professional appearance.
Authentic Jerseys
Authentic jerseys are officially licensed products designed to closely match the jerseys worn by professional athletes during competition.
These jerseys are manufactured to higher specifications using official branding, materials, and detailing.
Features of Authentic Jerseys
Authentic jerseys typically include:
- Official league licensing
- Brand logos and manufacturer tags

Authentic jerseys are generally considered the highest-quality jersey option available for collectors and fans.
