Nike is particularly bad about this. You're likely out of luck unless you go with a reseller or B&M store that has them sitting out. I bought my Super Bowl hoodie the day of the game. A friend of mine wanted the same one, but it never came back in stock online.

Also, 3 DONG HORSE, as a weirdo collector of jerseys, usually the Superbowl ones go on sale again later, closer to the start of preseason methinks - I ended up getting a Ray Lewis XLVII jersey for like $50. To be fair, he also retired after that game, and it was a the purple home jersey instead of the actual white one, but hey! It has the patch on it!


I couldn't wait any longer so I bought one on eBay. It was 70 but the dude has a return-for-any-reason policy so I can send it back if it's lovely.

I think it's the picture. I took a look again and flattened it out and it seemed fine. That freaked me out for a bit though!

e: I guess I'll compare it to some pics online later this week. I have 14 days to return anyway so I might as well nitpick!

The original Bengals uniforms with "BENGALS" on the helmet that look like clones of the Browns are kinda bland. The Boomer Esiason-era ones when they added the stripes are awesome, though, and really better than the current ones with all the white accents.

I go back and forth on 90s unis vs Marv unis. Generally I prefer the 90s Blacks, but the modern Orange unis and Whites.

design in general just kind of took a large poo poo in the mid-90s through early 2000s and every sport suffered for it. nobody shows that better than the Washington Capitals imo

It's hilarious how many teams had to throw away those X-TREME ultra "in yo face with ATTITUDE" 90's redesigns and go back to a variation of the logos they had in the 70s and 80s. Like half the NBA has done it recently.

i can think of like 10 NFL teams presently suffering from this. buccaneers, titans (ok they never had an older logo but they should make one up) patriots, seahawks, rams, broncos, ravens (see titans), eagles

putting angry eyes on your mascot is always bad

fun side note about actual football: joe thomas, on roster / armonty bryant, felony arrests / barkevious mingo, likely cut / donte whitner, cut / christian kirksey, on roster / karlos dansby, cut / taylor gabriel, on roster / dwayne bowe, cut / brian hartline, cut

I like the Bucs flag redesign although I think it's too big on the helmet but I loathe the overall uniforms. There was nothing wrong with the previous ones.

the "3-D-ness" of it is really bad though. the ball with PISTONS over it is fine, the chrome is...fine. the flaming exhaust is fine. but the horse head sucks and the 3-D perspective of the writing sucks
