kakarot ain't got shit on me

I was at my local (east Cincinnati) TJ Maxx tonight buying some socks and sweatpants and saw they had a few Nike On-Field Browns jerseys. Colt McCoy in medium and two larges, and a single Cribbs in medium. They were $15 each. So point of my post is threefold:

1. Check yours out if you feel like it, if nothing else could be a cheap stocking gift for a friend or loved one, or maybe a gag gift if they have some awesomely old jersey.

2. Anyone here want one of those and want to cover the price + $5 it'd take to ship it?

3. If anyone does go and checks em out and they see a Nike Bengals jersey for less than $20 buy it and I'll pay you back yo.

Yeah the TJ Maxx stores near Pittsburgh have some older jerseys of players that don't play there anymore for $15 and other gear. I almost bought a Mike Wallace bumblebee jersey just because

Figured some of you guys might want to see this, and also since I'm not a hockey guy tell me how decent it looks. This is from oknfl.com





How is it?

Looking at some pictures online the letter looks shorter and fatter. Kinda bums me out. Also the coloring seems off. Seems like the official jerseys are white as white can be, and these are a little off white.

The official jerseys are off-white (for a vintage look), but the front crest is a bit small.

The Giants are running some sort of one day sale next Tuesday at the main team store at the stadium where all the merch is %40 off and the jerseys are %50 off.

We gave it to him and he appreciated that it even had the strap on it so the jersey couldn't be pulled up, so there's that. (I had no idea that even existed).

It was a win I guess.

This is probably discussed somewhere in this colossal thread, but how do the Nike Elites fit? From the size charts on NFLshop, it looks like they're different from the rest of the Nike jerseys. I'm a 44L, and I can't figure out whether I should be buying my now-completely-essential Alshon Jeffery away jersey in a 44 or a 48.

Get it in a 44. The length should still come to about your waist, unless you have an abnormally freakishly long torso. A 48 will be too big for you. If you get one, it'll be REALLY stiff when you first get it, but a couple of wears and maybe 1 wash and it'll fit far better than the jerseys from the last couple of years Reebok was making them.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
Going back to the Army/Navy uniforms, why does Army have "The Corps" on their helmets? Wouldn't that be more a Marines things?

Edit: And you'd think there would be a single flag or a two-flag combo for "Army". It would be a pretty common word when supporting landings.

I believe the student body is referred to as "The Corps of Cadets", much like Navy has Midshipmen/Middies

You're probably best finding a store where you can try them on first. They're awesome shirts, but they fit differently than the other styles in the chest and shoulders. I ended up needing to go up a size in order to get a comfortable fit across my shoulders, but length was never an issue. Just something to keep in mind with the Elites.

The Bucs are getting a new logo and new helmets. Sapp mentioned a #chromegrill on twitter. I'm nervous about this one.

If I had to guess it would be a white helmet so they can do the throwbacks again.

I only remember seeing such tactics at Amazon & Newegg with a description that implies "They doesn't want us advertising this price, it's so unbelievably low!!!", which doesn't make sense when it's the owner's website doing it.

I don't do much online shopping, true, but I have literally never seen an item advertised as "for sale" without also listing the sale price next to it.

I did a simple color swap on their logo a while back (hell if I know which thread but it's somewhere on my computer), looked totally fine in creamsicle orange.

Alternatively, zombie Bucco Bruce. Which brings up this in image search:

That long tail at the end looks kind of dumb. Also the low quality pic makes it look similar to the Cardinals helmet. From a distance they will no longer be easily identifiable as the Bucs.

The shape looks nothing like the cards logo even as a blur. And we need to see the full uni before we can claim they will look like the cards.

The cards logo curves upwards if anything, and the spikes fly off towards the sky. From the looks of it they took the current flag and curved it into one down arc to better conform to the helmet and make the waving look more dynamic. I actually like what I can see so far, but I'll withhold final judgement until thursday

Obviously the logo looks nothing like the Cards. But a white helmet with a small reddish logo on it is what the Cards is. From a distance there will now be nothing unique about this helmet. Before they had an entirely unique metallic pewter helmet which was easily recognizable. Now they're just another team with a boring white helmet.

It's hard to say from the image, but it looks like there might be a unique stripe/texture going down the middle. That would help. For the distance argument who cares? Why are you looking at tiny helmets from a distance? If you see them at a distance you'll probably also be seeing the uniform, which I assume will be very beneficial towards identifying the team. Nike, for all their faults, is good at making something stand out. I think you're getting too worried over a blurry picture.

Who cares? I care. Duh. Usually the game isn't zoomed in on the players and we are actually watching a view of the field from a distance. My complaint isn't about the uniform as a whole, but about the helmet that to me looks rather boring and not as striking as the old helmets.

My complaint isn't about identifying the team, but about one of the few truly unique uniforms in the NFL being traded in for a look that, so far, does not impress me. Keep in mind that this is my opinion, which is obviously subjective.

You mentioned that Nike makes uniforms that stand out. To my knowledge we only have three so far, the Seahawks, the Jags, and the Dolphins. While i love the Seahawks unis and i feel they are a significant improvement over the old ones, the other two uniforms are absolute poo poo. You yourself did a pretty good takedown of the Jags, and I don't know if any of us felt the Dolphins redesign was a good idea.

Vikings too, and they are better than the old ones by far. The Dolphins were a downgrade, we are in agreement there.

I actually don't mind the Jags uniform. For me the Jags uniform is the same case as the Seahawks: It might look goofy at first, but then you realize that it stands out especially compared to the old unis. I can barely remember what the Jags used to look like, but I can recall how this one looks almost instantly and I watched maybe one jags game this whole year. It looks kind of dumb, but it's still more interesting that before. It's the helmet I can't stand, and even I will admit that it still stands out.

Also saying that we see the field zoomed out proves my point that we will see the entire uniform at once, so white helmets shouldn't be as big a deal as long as the uniform still stands out along with it. That remains to be seen. If we got lots of pewter and creamsicle it'll be hard to confuse it with the Cards. If we get white pants and a red jersey, then we might have a problem. At this point I have faith in Nike to be bold enough, even if it looks goofy.
