Yeah but you don't actually wear a signed jersey to the stadium. Frame that poo poo and hang it in your bedroom.

I don't really agree with this. It's actually pretty easy to get player autographs, they aren't sacred or anything. I could see you being like this if it was a player who recently retired or doesn't play in your market but there are signing events all the time if you live in your team's market.

To me, if I spend 200$ on clothing I am wearing it. Hell, I was given an actual game jersey of my favorite Russian soccer club's feeder team by a player. It's literally irreplaceable but I still wear it. If it gets a really nasty stain or rip or something then I'll frame it with whichever side isn't ruined facing out. For me shelling out 250$ for a gameday jersey and then framing it in your room and waring a watered down version for another 100$ is just stupid.

If you have a game room or something though that framed jersey is just art though, I think with the intention it serves a completely different purpose. Whatever though, everyone's taste are different, let's hug!

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the 100$ one inside the frame? Most of the details the fancier jerseys have require you to touch or get close to see.

Some players won't have Elite jerseys available through general release, most teams have at most 5 guys that will be recognizable enough to warrant making the jerseys for sale to the public. The rest are available, but only when you get a customized jersey for $50 more. It really sucks when a player that may have not had a great year the season before gets really hot since the ramp up in production of their jersey usually takes a good 5-8 weeks before shops start getting the jerseys in.

The Bengals pick the weirdest people to make a ton of jerseys for. 2011: Carlos Dunlap gets half a sack less than Suh in half as many games? Here, have a punter instead.

Huber is local, white, upper middle class and Catholic, meaning he appeals to the XU portion of the Cincinnati sports fanbase. Brilliant business decision by the Bengals.

They had almost won against the Tigers earlier that season until Spurrier did his inevitable "gently caress with the QB position for no god damned reason" shtick. I figured absolute least the Cocks would keep it competitive. Oh well. Hell, I had already spent like 250$ or so to get in, what's another 20?

I wear a pair of Reebok zigs when I wear gymshoes. Yeah, they're ugly as sin, but they feel like you're on a gym mat 24/7 and they're socially acceptable platform shoes /shortperson.

Hell, that should help illustrate my point. My shoe shopping methodology is basically.

1. Previous gymshoes literally fall apart.
2. Go to outlet mall.
3. Wander.
4. Holy poo poo those look comfy.
5a: eeeeeehhhhhhh. *return to 4*
5b: Unf, my lovely knees like.
6. Which color combination is least garish?
7. :20bux: :20bux: :20bux: :20bux: :20bux: :20bux:


And then every time the first time I wear them I half expect people to point me out in the street and laugh at me. I have pretty good fashion sense when it comes to non-shoe items, don't know why this is such a big hangup for me. At least when it comes to non-gymshoes I can just buy black moccs or loafers and be bland.


When are the elites coming out? A black Atkins is basically already bought as far as I'm concerned.

This whole Nike jersey thing has been a huge snafu from a commercial perspective. Their window to take advantage of people being excited about the change is closing and their selection is pathetic. There is exactly one "elite" jersey available for the Bengals, Dalton in black. You can't even customize the game jerseys without dropping an extra 50$ and the mid tier might as well not exist from how they market it. What a joke. At this rate the counterfeiters will beat Nike to the punch.

There's a limit of three jerseys a year, and I think they forbid any changes for three years after a change.

The Bengals whites look so much better with the new change. The new collar really looks like it's supposed to be there, and it makes the shoulders look a lot more cohesive. I really hope they don't change for a long time and I really, really hope they are done forever with black jersey/white pants and white jersey/black pants.

I know the Bengals jerseys get a lot of hate but they're visually distinctive enough that you'll never confuse them with another team. I understand why people might not like the uniform and say they're too busy or literal, but anyone who doesn't like the helmet can get the gently caress right out.

If they release a custom limited I'll go legit, but no way I'm paying 150$ for Green or Dalton. Nothing against them, but I prefer defensive players. As soon as they release info one way or another I'm pulling the trigger.

Looks like 14 teams have limited jerseys now, not including Seahawks or Bengals, and they have about two options for each team.

The real question is Atkins, Dunlap or Reggie Nelson...

If he makes the roster I probably will spring on a fake Burfict jersey. Definitely not spending 300$ on that though, I've seen too many Thurmans...


If I go knockoff it'll probably be a few jerseys. I could see ordering Nugent, Sanu and Atkins, maybe throw in a Burfict if he makes the roster.
