Tell me what that jersey meant to an 8 year old SA2K.

the Chargers were in the Superbowl when I was 8 and the Raiders weren't really good in the early 90s. So an 8 year old SA2K really really hated John Elway and the Chiefs.

When I was 8 that jersey meant the overweight, illiterate kid sitting next to me in class didn't have parents who actually cared about him. :smith:

Edit
Also his dad was probably in jail.

That jersey symbolized every gangbanger and bad smelling loudmouthed racist I ever met when I lived in San Diego.

But it looks nice on an actual football player I guess.

Uni Watch is correct. The Lions uniforms used to be good. This is Matt Millen's fault.

To bring things full circle, Millen added black to the Lions uniforms because he wanted to make them look like the Raiders. Hence, the black alternate.

Go put on a black t shirt and some shades right now. You probably feel (maybe even look?) cooler. They probably feel similar.

They could add a maize collar to that and the edge of the sleeves and that would be super sharp.

It's sharp as is though. Adidas is scrambling to keep the contract and are backpedaling badly from the Dave Brandon era of zany uniforms.




This probably won't work. All signs point to UM going back to Nike after 2016.

How are we going to look cool to 17 year old kids who are used to lovely, bargain basement equipment provided by a local pizzeria?

I know! Let's make something so basic and generic it will make their Bumfuckistan State Junior Varsity uniforms look flashy.

Let me ask a question here: Does anyone know of a good place to get custom throwback jerseys? Some quick googling around leads me to a few Yahoo-tied places that don't seem hugely expensive (Like $150~, which wouldn't be bad depending on the quality...) and various foreign websites that are much cheaper, but all seem various degrees of sketchy and I have no clue what kind of quality I'd be getting which may or may not justify the price.

My wife and I picked up our first NFL jerseys finally (AliExpress), and woohoo. 1 Calvin Johnson (her) and 1 DeAndre Levy (me).

Also not quite a jersey, but Reggie Bush has 75% off his store right now assumedly to change up to the 49ers. $7.50 for a t-shirt is pretty decent.

I've ordered several jerseys from Aliexpress and never had an issue. They claim to offer custom jerseys but I'm not sure about that. Sizes run a little small in my experience.

Anybody else had experience with AliExpress? I wanted to get an official jersey...but $100 is a lot to spend on a jersey. Especially when you're an Eagles fan and you're not sure how it's all gonna pan out. How do they compare to YukiJerseys and those old places?
