This is a quick guide for our buyers for help on understanding the different styles of NCAA basketball shorts that are currently on the market. There are two key styles that appear to be the same but are two different price points and styles. Both of these styles are considered "authentic" but please take the time to understand the differences between the two styles.
The first style is the "replica" version of the shorts. The replica shorts do look like the ones that the players wear on the court due to the official team colors and logos but the logos are printed (not sewn). The common search terms on ebay for the replica version of the shorts is: rep or replica

The second version of the shorts is the "twill" version. These shorts are the closest style to what the players wear that you can buy on the market. The shorts are very nice, have the official team colors and logos, and all of the logos are embroidered (sewn). The twill version of the shorts is very similar to the NBA Swingman shorts. The common search terms on ebay for the twill version of the shorts is: sewn or twill

There are many other "fashion" styles of shorts on the market but if you are looking for the ones that are similar to what the schools wear those are the two different styles. We hope this guide will help you when purchasing any NCAA basketball shorts.
