According a "source", the Packers jerseys are "futuristic and fun". Basically, thank goodness I got one last season.

I'll cry. Unless this means there are lasers on our jerseys. That'd be cool.

Yeah, those New Era caps are bad except for the Raiders one. The Raiders have nothing but nice merchandise it seems like.

I kinda like it.

Reebok made some pretty lame hats so I'm optimistic.

Yeah, Reebok was bad with hats nearly 100% of the time. The Draft hats were bound to be bad because New Era seems to take any opportunity they can to experiment(look up some of the god-awful baseball hats they've made over the years for proof), but the official sideline hats will most likely be really cool and hopefully they make a series of hats as nice as the recent Cooperstown baseball line of hats (http://www.lids.com/search/cooperstown/Brand_New-Era ;not the full line but some of it).

Wow, those New Era hats are horrid.

One of my friends is a huge baseball nut and will ask strangers if they're a fan of the team whose hat they are wearing or if they're just wearing it to match their outfit. (where I live, the huge majority of dudes are wearing them to match the rest of their clothes)

He once asked someone, "Why do you have to do that to baseball? Why not football or something else?"

The guy answered, "Well if New Era eva' made football hats I'd have some of 'dem too."

And now they have. :qq:

Yeah, the majority of people who wear New Era hats wear them for fashion reasons. That's probably true for hats in general. Your friend probably shouldn't look down on people for violating the sanctity of baseball.

Some of my hats have the sticker on, some don't. I'm really not sure how the whole leave the sticker on thing started but some people swear by that poo poo.

Back in middle school the big thing was kids leaving the tags on their shirts and pants. That was 8 or 9 years ago and I still don't know what the gently caress :psyduck:

Yeah, it will always look really dumb to me. Then again, some people feel the same way about a hat with a flat brim so to each his own I guess.

The last time I wore a hat someone told me I looked like the fat dude from fall out boy. Despite this I will probably buy and wear an Eagles New Era if it isn't complete poo poo.

So far we've seen the Panthers new logo and I've read people speeculating about the Seahawks getting one too, is it just these two franchises being redesigned or is there more? The Bills should definitely fix their logo after fixing their jerseys.

Well, interestingly enough every team's draft hat is available for viewing except for the Panthers and Seahawks. Perhaps new logos are the reason why. Clicking on their names get a silhouette with "cap image coming soon" over top. The Cowboys are also mysteriously not on the list at all.

Is it just me or does anyone else not get the whole "don't gently caress with the jersey designs" thing? Nike makes some awesome college jerseys by playing around with the existing colors and designs and I would love to see them do the same to the pro teams.

I dunno, maybe I just like new flashy things I guess and don't understand the connection to what the players wear.

I'd rather most teams stay the same, but I would love to get some alternates for a game or two for every team. I have no problem watching the Packers wear an Oregon Ducks style jersey for one game a year.

Also, Nike should just make brand new jerseys for the Jags and Falcons.

They do custom hats but I didn't check to see if they do monster head sizes, they're MLB only...and $60 I think. And no returns barring manufacturing defects. Checked out whether Mitchell and Ness or some of the others make larger sizes?

I found a hat I wanted last night but now I'm paranoid about capsizing cap sizing.

I'd suggest you go to the Lids or Hatworld at the local mall. They should carry whatever hat you're looking for, and at the least you should be able to figure out what size you wear. The only hat I've ever ordered online fit perfectly.

A lot of the warmer weather teams use the Whites as home jerseys, and again wear them on away trips. It always depends who the home team is.

Although Jacksonville switched to Black home jerseys. That seems dumb.

Eh, their blues don't look nice anyway so maybe if they wear black and incorporate some Jaguar print the way the Bengals have they could at least have a decent unique jersey. Really, there are only a few teams that need uniform upgrades and the Vikings and Jags were two of them
