I got a couple Bengals jerseys from Alexpress (Burfict, Eifert) and they're probably the best quality fakes I've seen for Nike Bengals jerseys. They are much, much better than the fakes I've seen in Korea. Still lovely stitching though.

Aw poo poo, I didn't even see that. Sorry man, there isn't any excuse for charging $60 to mail a loving shirt.

I believe you can send him a message on Ebay inquiring why the price is so high.

I don't know, he's the guy I feel most comfortable getting a jersey made up of honestly. (I know he's not exactly up there on the GOAT list of Browns players).

I do have two Cribbs jersey mainly because he seems to really support my alma mater, and his career highlights are pretty solid.

I don't feel comfortable getting say, a Manziel or Gordon jersey right now because my past three Browns jerseys have been uhh...well...things havn't turned out well for the players I had (Couch, Edwards and Quinn fwiw).

Get a Metcalf jersey and always try to push your way through big crowds.

In that one Browns concept, are the helmets glossy, metallic, or pearlescent?

It's OK I guess.

This is the aliexpress jersey I got last month. It's the best fake I've seen for the Bengals, but it still has a few problems.



Looks really good from a distance. The only thing you'd maybe notice are the sleeves are a bit too bright. You'd have to be looking for it and have a real one for comparison though.



Most of these don't have that orange stripe over the sleeve. It's the easiest way to spot most fakes. The stitching kinda sucks but that's tough to notice unless you're touching it.





The big give away that it's fake is the collar. It's cut different than the real thing and there's no wire in the weird stitching they use. It's simulated with a bit of a decal but there's nothing in it.



Overall I like it. Definitely worth :20bux:

Man you've got to get a Fluker. The following quote is Ben Muth on Kyle Long in the game against SF, but it still applies to the following play by Fluker.

quote:

Even the best linemen in the NFL are not the bulldozers they are often portrayed to be. They are not knocking guys 5 yards off the ball and dumping them on their backs. You'll see the odd play like that, but they are very few and far in between. What an actual dominant offensive lineman looks like is a guard hooking a three technique off the snap, forcing him to lose his gap, and driving him 1 or 2 yards off the ball as the running back hits a nice little lane in the B gap. It's not an offensive tackle crumpling some guy with a massive punch in pass protection; it's staying between your man and the quarterback for all 40 pass attempts. This isn't high school. Being dominant in the NFL means just doing your job consistently and relentlessly for four quarters of a game.

Actually, forget everything I just said. Did you just see that trap block?! That's Justin Smith playing the Brad Pitt to Kyle Long's bus in the first five minutes of Meet Joe Black (can you spoil something that happens in the first five minutes of a movie?). That's not supposed to happen on a trap play in the NFL. That's what happens when Alabama plays Savannah State. Sure, Kyle Long's technique is very sound here (he takes a great first step, makes contact with his backfield shoulder, and rolls his hips like nobody's business), but talking about technique on a play like that just takes the magic out of it. Just enjoy Kyle Long turning an NFL game into one of those absurd, physic-defying scenes you in a football movie like Varsity Blues.

But as I said, those kind of over-the-top blocks are few and far between. Far more common is an offensive lineman having shoddy technique and getting beat in the most predictable way imaginable. For examples of this, we go to Jordan Mills' pass blocking from the second quarter.

For the second of two home games so far this year, the Browns are wearing white

Did Nike somehow gently caress up the Browns' brown jerseys like they did the Eagles' green??

The Browns traditionally wear White at home. Sort of like how LSU rarely wears Purple.

Also, IIRC the Nike Browns uniforms aren't until next year anyway. Any fuckups can be attributed right back to the Browns, as per usual.

The Browns have Nike uniforms, complete with all the Nikeisms. They just didn't really change anything. We just are waiting until next year to find out the visual changes, strips, colors, etc that "new" uniforms bring.

What the fuckerman was questioning is that, much like what happened with the Eagles' green jerseys, Nike was unable to produce the correct color with their special SPACE AGE FABRICS and they looked off. So to remedy that the team has instead opted to wear white.

I get it now. Looking back at the pictures page for the Browns, they have worn white in every game so far this year. 3-4 times they wore Brown pants in addition to their white tops. So, maybe that is a thing.

In a just world the Browns would never wear anything other than white/white. Like if the Season opener is in Tampa 1PM and the Bucs want to wear white jerseys cause of the heat the Browns should be able to tell them to stuff it.

I love white and white too, but I'd like to see brown and white sometime this year. Unlike with the eagles, Nike hasn't admitted to loving up the color of the Browns unis this year so I don't understand the lack of brown jerseys

Here's hoping I didn't get a "Herman" jersey.

Only thing I can tell is the name is a little crooked and the NFL logo is sewn a little off center. Super happy with it, though. It does seem small to be a 3x. More reason for my fat rear end to lose some weight.

Mine has actual stitching over what seems like a decal. Check out the album I posted, the picture of the NFL logo shows the stitching.

I wrote off the smell as "generic new clothes smell". I feel ya on the size thing. A few shops offered a 4x, but I'd probably have to kill myself if I ever bought 4x clothes.
