So I must have missed this in the offseason but I was recently informed that the Broncos Orange jerseys are now officially the primary home jerseys? Not the Blue ones with orange stripes?

That's retarded. The blue ones are way better. The Oranges are too bright for normal use. They look like they should be directing traffic.

I'm glad that they no longer look like the AFC Bears.

This is a much better shade of orange than the bright monstrosity they currently have

I like the Denver oranges.

I think every team looks better in their whites than their darks.

You and EA Sports both. They like it so much that in the new Madden, they made the Bears wear orange pants (which the team has never actually done, to my knowledge) for both their "2012 Away" and, bizarrely, "2012 Alternate Blue Pants" uniforms. Way to go, EA.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
The team store at the Meadowlands only has elites and games, no limited. Go figure.

Ok, I really don't get this with the new uniforms:


I asked something about this before but it was in a GDT and promptly buried.

Is that just gratuitous stitching or reinforcement or what? It looks loving horrible. Is it on the premium/whatever jerseys that you can buy?

It's called their 'Flywire' neck to keep the jersey down and from getting stretched. Yes it looks horrible.

Flywire (TM)! It's on the Elite and Limited but not the Game ($100) jersey, and some teams just don't have it at all.

It's also supposed to make it marginally harder to hold defensive linemen, since it's harder to get a hand inside the collar, and the jersey lays flatter so it's harder to get a handful of cloth.

Well yeah, especially since they can hold by facemasks and headlocks and hardly ever get called for it.

This is the weirdest part, and kinda why I was confused about it - the Packers (thankfully) don't have it, so I was wondering if it was some kind of design option or some crap that a lot of teams "liked" for some inexplicable reason.

I honestly didn't know it had any functional purpose :shobon:

uni-watch.com calls it the "nikelace" since flywire is some horseshit marketing term.

Teams had a choice of selecting various parts of the new uniform to implement or not (nikelace, pant mesh, that dumb contrast collar) and some (packers and raiders) said "gently caress all that noise"

Everyone in this thread should read uni-watch, they have an extremely detailed breakdown of every team's new uniforms and is also a pretty cool site in its own regard.

So I just found a slick Black LaMichael James Ducks jersey in Goodwill for 4 bucks. Anybody else ever find stuff in thrift stores? I check the two near me regularly, and I finally struck something worth buying. I saw a Roethlisberger one once, and a Jags garrard jersey, neither were worth the purchase.

I picked up a Reggie Wayne and BJ Raji from whatjersey and it send me a confirmation email without asking for an address or credit card info. Is this normal? Also can I pay just one shipping cost for both?

The store Ross out here in San Diego, ALWAYS has browns shirts and jerseys. It's the weirdest drat thing. Tons of charger hats, shirts, acessories etc, then Browns Jerseys and polos. I did see A DeMarcus Ware jersey in kids xl, I almost got it for my girlfriend but she wants an emmitt smith jersey, because he won dancing with the stars :negative:

I don't think it would be weird if you had a frame for them and a jersey as like a bar feature or something.

Yeah thats my intention. At my store we have a rolled up floor mat that's a football field with all the team logos, so I plan on trying to take that. I try and get as much football inflates/posters/standees from the vendors as possible, so hopefully when I get my new apartment, we'll have a gnarly living sports room.

Got one of the game Jerseys, feels really nice compared to the old reebok replicas I've got in my collection. Feels like a much better make. It's got a weird cut if you wear it though so it feels kind of odd around the shoulders.

Wow these Nebraska / Wisconsin uniforms are pretty terrible. At least when Nike does bad uniforms they look like uniforms people playing some intergalactic sport in the future would wear. These Addidas ones are pretty uninspired.

"The N represents Nebraska, because it's where they're from! And the red represents good uniform design, which was brutally murdered here tonight."
