Three tiers of baseball jersey

Nike's MLB fan jerseys come in a few lines. On nike.com we found Replica, Dri-FIT ADV Limited and the City Connect Stadium jersey, and Nike's listings also name an Elite line. The descriptions below come from Nike's own product pages, so they describe what Nike says, not what we measured.

Replica: the accessible tier

Nike describes its MLB Replica jerseys as crafted with breathable polyester in a loose, relaxed fit, with team details taken from the players' uniforms. It is the straightforward fan jersey, and the one most fans start with.

Limited: added detail

Limited jerseys are Dri-FIT ADV. Nike describes them as inspired by the on-field uniforms, with twill details and a sweat-wicking, double-knit mesh fabric for a breathable feel on game day. Women's Limited jerseys are sold too.

Elite: closest to on-field

Nike's listings name an Elite line. We could not open an Elite product page to confirm its construction, so we do not describe it here. If you are choosing between Limited and Elite, read the construction notes on the exact listing.

How to decide

  • Replica suits occasional, casual wear.

  • City Connect suits fans who want the special-edition look.
  • Whatever the line, read the listing's fabric and fit lines before you order.

Editor's note: Baseball jerseys button up the front, so check the listing's size notes and use our MLB size chart guide.
