As a graphic designer I'm baffled by the decision to promote the Louisville uniforms that way. It's like the dazzle patterns they used to paint on battleships - I can't focus on the actual uniform.

Tennessee ones look sweet

I missed this before, but yes that makes it marginally better. But still...

e: I don't mind the concept of the grey unis for the Vols, and these are better than the Adidas ones, it just irks me that they want to play with alternate helmets of a color other than orange first.

I didn't like the gray uni's when they first came out, but they have definitely grown on me. That gray helmet with the checkerboard looks pretty sweet. Also a big fan of the all orange, I hope the away is all white. All that needs would be an inverse orange helmet like already mentioned above.

Edit: also according to the teaser videos released, the words "My All" is sewn into the collar, which I think is a nice touch.

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

Got my jersey in the mail last night.

As I mentioned before, I had been trying to find a place that does custom throwback jerseys. There were a few places on Yahoo and others that claimed to be in the U.S., but they either appeared really sketchy or wanted way more money than I was willing to pay without any example of quality, ranging from like $80 to up to $250. gently caress that poo poo.

I then turned to AliExpress, based on the recommendations of this thread, but finding a seller who did custom throwbacks for any team was again difficult. A few did college uniforms, or teams with simple uniforms that haven't changed much over the years (Namely the Raiders, also Chiefs and Colts), but I was looking for someone who did the old Giants uniforms from the 80's and 90's. After digging through a few dozen places, I found two that did custom throwbacks for the whole league, had decent enough ratings that I was semi-confident in them, and were fairly cheap, both being under $50. The one I decided to try was called Bird's Professional Custom Jersey Shop, which as I mentioned before, had the option for adding a custom patch the jersey, which is why I tried them first. The price was said to be $44, with regular patches being free to add, and custom ones being an extra $5. They didn't bill me for that, so I'm guessing the 1994 NFL 75th Anniversary patch counted as a regular one. I ordered it late on the 22nd, so just over two weeks with a national holiday in between to get something from China is not bad at all.

The results, via iPhone camera:





First, the obvious, why anyone would want a loving Dave Brown jersey is a long story, and I'll spare you all of that.

As for the seller, they were very quick to send me messages where things weren't clear. The jersey sizes listed on their page are different than the ones they offer for throwbacks, so I had to confirm what I wanted, going with a Size 48 Medium. When I placed the order originally, I took the extra step of including a couple of links to pictures of the jersey and a close up of the patch, just to be sure, and what they sent me matches that almost exactly.

Sizing wise, I'm about 6' and weight about 185, and it fits me just as well as any official jersey I've ever gotten. I've got an official Reggie Wayne Nike jersey (One of the $100 types) and one of the $300 Elite Nike Andrew Luck ones, both in Large (Although for the Luck jersey, Large is a size 44), and it fits pretty much the same as those, or the older cheap Reebok mesh-type jerseys.

You'll notice it has a Mitchell & Ness patch and collar tag, and says "1990" under it for some reason. In comparison to their throwbacks, such as the Phil Simms 1986 or Dan Fouts 1984 jerseys, which I also have in Size 44, it's a much better fit. The actual throwbacks are quite a bit bulkier and made of much thicker material, with the blue on the Giants one being a bit brighter than the Ali one. I actually prefer the material of the bootleg, if only because I live in South Florida and the heat and humidity means its only comfortable to wear the thicker ones like twice a year. The numbers on the AliExpress one are also sewn on, compared to the official ones just being screen printed on everything except the ultra expensive Elite jerseys.

I'm honestly surprised at just how good the quality is on this thing, the stitching being better than... well, almost every official jersey I've had. The only places its really noticeable are on the Mitchell & Ness patch on the lower left corner, and on the 75th Anniversary patch, most of which I can probably touch up with a scissor if I wanted, or really wouldn't be obvious unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

So, if you are looking for any kind of throwback, for $44, this seems like the best option out there.

It does surprise me that the Bucs are the leading jersey in Florida. I would have bet the farm on the 'Fins.

Those are fantastic. The only minor complaint I have is that the sun sphere part in the logo looks a little too big on the helmet, but other than that these are magnificent.

And why is it that when teams wear throwbacks*, but with modern equipment technologies, most of the uniforms look a million times better than whatever they currently wear:









* Or used to wear throwbacks, since they can't anymore unless they keep the same helmet shell or whatever dumb rule the NFL uses.
