Reverse Retro vs Sublimated Alt Royal: Which Bisons Jersey?

Two replica jerseys, two different jobs

The Buffalo Bisons offer two replica jerseys that look similar at first glance but serve different fan needs. The Reverse Retro Replica Jersey is a throwback-style piece the team wears on most 'Throwback Thursday' nights, while the Sublimated Alt Royal Replica Jersey is the alternate look with the front 'Buffalo' script and classic Alt 1 sleeve logo. Both are officially licensed, made in the USA by OT Sports, and feature a full button front with fully sublimated decoration. The main decision comes down to whether you want a blank throwback jersey or one you can personalize with a name and number.

Design and customization at a glance

• Reverse Retro Replica Jersey: Throwback style worn on majority of 'Throwback Thursday' nights; all decoration sublimated; full button front; made in the USA by OT Sports. No name/number customization option is listed in the available variants.
• Sublimated Alt Royal Replica Jersey: Alternate jersey with front 'Buffalo' script and Alt 1 sleeve logo, all sublimated; full button front; made in the USA by OT Sports.

What the catalog confirms about the Reverse Retro

• Buffalo Bisons Reverse Retro Replica Jersey: The Buffalo Bisons will be wearing this style on a majority of our 'Throwback Thursday' Nights at the ballpark. If you want to match what the team wears on those specific nights, this is the jersey to get.

  

• Buffalo Bisons Reverse Retro Replica Jersey: All decoration is fully sublimated into the jersey, making it a light, comfortable fit and easy to keep clean. Sublimation means no stitched layers, so the jersey stays lightweight and simple to care for.
• Buffalo Bisons Reverse Retro Replica Jersey: Officially licensed, full button front, made in the USA by OT Sports. Confirms authenticity and construction quality.

What the catalog confirms about the Sublimated Alt Royal

• Buffalo Bisons Sublimated Alt Royal Replica Jersey: Front 'Buffalo' script and classic Alt 1 sleeve logo are fully sublimated into the jersey, making it light, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. The alternate design is printed into the fabric, so it won't peel or crack like some applied graphics.

  

• Buffalo Bisons Sublimated Alt Royal Replica Jersey: Customization is available for an additional fee: embroidered tackle twill takes 5-7 weeks, and sublimated name and number are not available at this time. If you want a personalized jersey, plan ahead for the longer turnaround and note the material limitation.
• Buffalo Bisons Sublimated Alt Royal Replica Jersey: Personalized jerseys are not eligible for exchange or refund, so check spelling and number before ordering. Customization is final sale, so double-check your details.

Sizing and fit: what you can and cannot know

The Reverse Retro jersey is available in XX-LARGE only according to the variant evidence, while the Sublimated Alt Royal comes in sizes SMALL through 4XL, with some gaps (3XL only with customization, 4XL only without). Neither product record includes a size chart or measurements, so the catalog alone cannot tell you how either jersey fits. For precise sizing, the store recommends emailing [email protected] before placing your order. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, that email is your best resource.

Customization rules that affect your choice

• Player names and numbers: Due to MLB Player Union regulations, jerseys cannot be customized with current or retired/former players, player nicknames/full names, fictional characters, or team announcers/staff.
• Number and character limits: Numbers are limited to 2 digits, and the character limit on jerseys is 15 characters.
• Customization method: Only embroidered tackle twill is available for the Sublimated Alt Royal; sublimated name and number are not available at this time. Expect an additional 5-7 weeks for tackle twill.
• Return policy: Personalized jerseys are not eligible for exchange or refund, so verify spelling and number before submitting your order.

Price and value: what the numbers say

At catalog prices, the Reverse Retro is USD 80.30 (compared to a USD 110.00 comparison price), and the Sublimated Alt Royal is USD 77.00 (also compared to USD 110.00). The Reverse Retro costs slightly more but does not offer customization. The Sublimated Alt Royal is a bit less expensive and can be personalized for an additional $40, bringing the total to $117.00 if you add a name and number. Neither price includes taxes or shipping, and prices can change. The better value depends on whether you prioritize a throwback design or personalization.

Which Bisons replica jersey should you buy?

Choose the Reverse Retro if you want the throwback look the team wears on Throwback Thursday nights, prefer a blank jersey, and are comfortable with the limited size availability (XX-LARGE only per the variant evidence). Choose the Sublimated Alt Royal if you want the alternate 'Buffalo' script design, need a wider range of sizes, or want to add a name and number (keeping in mind the 5-7 week lead time, the tackle-twill-only limitation, and the no-return policy on personalized items). If sizing is your main concern, email [email protected] before ordering either jersey, since the catalog does not provide measurements.
