Wow, the "Gameday" jerseys look weird. Like, at least with Reebok the lowest jersey still looked more like a jersey than just a t-shirt.

I'll probably start saving up some cash for an Elite, they do look pretty slick. just need to decide which style and which player.

Totally want an Elite but for the 115$ if Limited is just as cool/fit but without the water resistance than that's cool.

Cowboys don't seem to have the Neck doodad listed but it does on the unveiling have it :iiam: So maybe not all the features/material listed. Just want more information so I know what I'm throwing my money at. Cowboys said the gloves will be on sale closer to the fall, dont give a gently caress about the price I want them now.

Not sure on who I would get from the boys though.

Woah, they're selling the gloves?! :f5: BUY NOW BUY NOW BUY NOW

I missed out on getting to buy the Oklahoma pro combat gloves back when they did them, I don't want to miss out on the Cowboys ones! (dear nike please release the sooners pro combat gloves again love missilewaster)

I already have Witten, Austin (both in blue), and Murray (in white), so whatever I pick up it will probably be the throwback.

And as for the Elite, like someone on here said, saving 50 bucks per paycheck won't be hard, and that way I'd have enough money for an Elite in just a few months, definitely in time for the preseason.

E: And I still need to pick up a Sam Bradford jersey. Might just bargain hunt for a Reebok on that one since it would probably be dirt cheap by now.

Heaf posted:

Gameday (basic jersey): tagless jersey, silicon print numbers

Limited (mid-point): Flywire collar (the kind of pointed one), Twill numbers

Elite (same as players): water-resistant, same on-field product

I'm guessing Limited gets the last launch date because it's a weird compromise and won't be as popular as either Gameday or Elite.

I used this for reference: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,miami_dolphins

e: No Elite jerseys for Women, there are Limited ones.

I always liked Reebok's mid-range jerseys. They weren't ridiculously expensive like the Authentic ones, but you get the most important feature, the tackle-twill numbers instead of the screenprinted ones that gradually crack and flake off over time.

I'll probably start putting some money away for an Elite jersey now, though. If Chicago ever signs Forte to a long-term deal, I'll buy an Elite #22 jersey that instant.

As far as needed jersey changes are concerned the Browns need to get "AL" off their jerseys pronto. The guy was a major factor in the team leaving in the first place, get him off that jersey.

Sean Lee would be a good choice, I'm also thinking a Ware throwback although I'm going to check a few places first to see if I can find a Reebok one for much cheaper. Might just get an Elite Murray white (I'm an Oklahoma fan :v:) or possibly a Romo throwback. Dez is also still on the table, but like Ware I may just try to find a cheap Reebok for him.

And hey, if you still want a jersey for our #3 receiver there's always Ogletree...:smith:

E: And I heard there's a slight chance Terrell Owens goes to the Raiders, so I'd have to get his jersey to keep the collection going. I still don't want a Gameday one, though, I'll need to see what the Limited looks like compared to the Elite.

Were the names also in twill on those? Cause if that's the case I'm not sure how much of a reason I have to get the Elite other than knowing it's a real jersey. Hell on the Raiders page it doesn't show any features like the Dophins one linked earlier cause they didn't take any of the new uniform/fabric features :v:.

Weren't these still screenprinted on top of the numbers? Like, if it was just one color it would be sewn on but if it was multiple colors they would print the other colors (and fake stitches) on top of the sewn part. Reebok and Majestic do this with their player replicas in hockey and baseball.

I'll be damned. I own one of these jerseys and I never noticed that. I don't think it's screenprinting exactly, but the second color on the numbers is definitely just dyed onto the same piece of twill, with fake stitching drawn on to make it look like another piece of fabric. For what it's worth, the dyed parts of the numbers don't seem to get weathered and crack like the screenprinting on their Replica line did.

I do still think the markup from Reebok's Replica to Premier was worth it, if only to not have the numbers flaking off your jersey after a year or two. My next jersey is definitely going to be an Elite, though.

The Reebok premiers were definitely worth the price for the quality compared to what you'd pay for their low-tier replicas. I really hope Nike has a medium tier jersey like that because from what I've seen comparing their replicas to the authentics, the replicas have noticeably smaller name/numbers. (though I do like that it's solid fabric for the replicas and not mesh)

edit: If I had read more, it appears they do have a midrange jersey.

I was okay with the vinyl numbers/lettering but for 30$ more you get the stitched twill and probably a few more features. I think I'm just going to preorder a Sean Lee white and wait. But I do wish they had more information on all the differences on the levels of quality/fabric etc. Pre orders start in 4 days so hopefully it'll come out by then. Hopefully by time the mid range comes in by june the "Elite" chinese rip offs would come out :getin:

The Destroyer jackets are expensive as hell, usually between 400-700. They'll usually do one that's a slightly lower tier with all wool or one with nylon that will sell for about 1/3 the price of the expensive one. They also limit what shops get the high end jacket. If he wants something in that vein, get one of the nonbranded ones they do (they're still pricey at 380 for the wool/leather, but it'll save you a bit of money)

Went to the Pop Up Shop in NYC today. It's pretty cool, they've got a full stock in all the hats. I bought one of the Packers two-tone draft hats. They're very high quality, stitching is phenomenal. Some teams are really cool (Rams was another one I really liked) but some are a bit plain and seeing them in person confirmed their blandness.

We got the replica jerseys in at work today, so of course I tried one on. The material is much heavier than the mesh the Reebok ones used to have, and without the sheen those had as well, the look isn't as nice. On top of that, they cut the shoulders like they're a women's baby tee, so if you try to raise your arms above rib level, the entire jersey pulls up with it and the bottom of your jersey ends up around your chest level. If they're gonna keep with this cut for the next 5 years, then I guess I won't be buying a new jersey over that time.

Are you talking about the "Gameday" jersey? Because yeah, the picture on nike's website made it look more like a t-shirt than a jersey. And I think those are the only ones my work is going to get in when they come in, so I'll have to shell out full price on an Elite..

The lack of sheen appears to be something with Nike's material going by the uniform article linked back around the announcement, might vary by color though. Like the metallic colors on various teams (that chose to go with the new material) looked dulled down.

Meanwhile I got an old clearance jersey for my birthday (Nnamdi :smith:), appears to be Reebok's mid level one. Looks decent, and I guess since there's only one color to the name/number it doesn't appear to have the screen printing/faked two tone thing mentioned earlier. If Nike's mid level jerseys are like it I'd be pretty happy. Going by the descriptions they seemed to have everything from the Elite except for the rain proofing...not sure how the different levels work for every team since not everyone went with the new materials.

Edit: looks like Nike put a FAQ up on the jersey differences:

Nike has Nike Elite schools for Football/Basketball, which is different. Those are the schools that get Pro Combat treatment, more or less. Someone can correct me, but I believe Pro Combat was the basis for the Elite51 series.

The teams that get the pro-combat treatment each year usually have a limited version of the jersey release. I picked up the LSU one last year and it lacked the flywire collar and the numbers were simulated tackle twill partially stitched on with paint for the tiger stripes. Of course it was $75 compared to the 150 Nike was charging for an authentic regular game jersey.

I'm interested in seeing what they offer for preorder on Sunday, I'd like to get an elite Saints jersey as soon as possible, but no way am I buying a Brees jersey, I'm superstitious and wearing the QB to me is like asking for a trade or injury to happen.
