So are the Seahawks apparently the only dudes with drastic changes since Nike is right next door?

Colts fan here, I don't want to drop a bunch of cash on a new jersey until I get a better idea of our team this year, and wearing my ol' Peyton authentic just feels wrong. If I just wanted to pick up a Reggie Wayne or Pat Angerer knockoff, would my best bet be shootjerseys or whatjersey? Or just Google shop? Consumer report sites seem to heavily frown upon shootjerseys and those Panthers jerseys a few pages back look kinda shoddy but I figured I'd ask.

I picked up a Reggie Wayne and BJ Raji from whatjersey and it send me a confirmation email without asking for an address or credit card info. Is this normal? Also can I pay just one shipping cost for both?

My gear from whatjersey finally got here and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.





Authentic Reebok Clay Matthews on the left, new B.J. Raji on the right. The only major thing is that the sleeve stripes are fabric instead of screen-printed (which is apparently a common thing for Packers knockoffs) but for 35 bucks I don't think my buddy is going to complain too much.




My new Reggie Wayne, with a replica Reebok Peyton on the right for comparison. I wear a medium so I got a 44 (which is listed as "small" on the site), and it's a tad bulky.






My friend's Andy Dalton came out probably the best of the three. It looks beautiful. The swoosh is even stitched way better than on the Wayne and Raji jerseys. Gonna bust these out for tonight's game, I'm pretty pumped.

Like I wrote above, I got a M (44) from whatjersey and it's on the big side. If I did it again I'd have gotten a S. The tag says 44 G (grande/large, I'm assuming), so I think the sizes just aren't translated well onto their site. Also because there is nobody who thinks a 44 is a medium.

Alright, so I've done "whatjersey.com" and frankly they were very very very very below par... What, if any site(s) would goons recommend for ordering a jersey (that will get here within the next few weeks)?

Do I just suck it up and order the smallest size on Whatsjersey.com or do I find another place?!

From the description I thought the Away jerseys on the left would have way too much aqua, but having the orange undershirt and the shoes really balance it out. The Home uniform looks pretty meh.

Also I'm really surprised they went with white facemasks. I thought pretty much nobody but KC did that anymore because of the glare issues, especially in a place like Miami.

More clues about the Vikings uniforms became available today. It looks like the jersey will be a darker purple. Supposedly the pantone color didn't change, but the jersey material is a flat purple instead of the shiny purple on their previous uniforms. The collar appears to only be purple, so the awful two tone Nike collar is gone and there is a darker yellow/gold scripted Vikings wordmark below the collar. I haven't found anywhere where the 6th clue has been posted yet, but so far the redesign is looking very good. I think the helmets may end up being a flat/matte purple, which would match the uniforms. I'm kind of over the flat/matte craze, but it could be a good way to achieve a darker looking purple.
I'm confused, I thought the "shininess" was pretty much eliminated with the new Nike materials, and I don't think Minnesota was one of the teams that kept their old designs.

I would definitely be down with a blue Panthers helmet. Not every week, but as an alt it'd be fun.
That's pretty much the only thing I didn't like about those mock-ups, but yeah if it was an alt sort of thing I could get on board. Having trouble thinking of teams that actually include off-color helmets in their alts, though (not counting throwbacks and stuff).

After seeing it in motion I'm mostly sold on the new logo. But I agree that more orange would be great, and, as Toussaint tacitly pointed out, the front name is horrible and needs to go back to the old cursive font.

We placed our order with Whatjersey. The only mistake they made was with the shoulder fabric with my friend's Packers jersey, but the rest of ours came out great, the Bengals being the best.

Sometimes I wish the Colts had a bit more "jersey history" so I could get some kind of sweet throwback or something but I'll just chalk it up to getting it right the first time. (Still think a small horseshoe on the chest like in the Reebok replicas would be cool though.)

I'd even take a bit more of a gradient instead of a seam midway down.
Agreed. When the first images came out it sort of looked like a more gradual gradient, and I thought it looked kind of cool. Then when non-photo-studio shots were released it turned out that yeah, the abrupt gradient looks awful.

Aside from making dumb Duck Dynasty commercials and trying to buy Kevin Durant, Under Armour pours an extraordinary amount of money into actual research and development for athletic wear. Half of Nike's poo poo (dryfit, etc.) is just a ripoff of UA materials and designs.

I ordered a Luck from whatjersey back in December and it just got here in June :downs:. I got a Reggie Wayne from there a year or two ago and it didn't take nearly that long. Not only that, but this time they only sent two out of the three we ordered and stitching on Luck is horrendous, but it's actually more accurate to the on-field jersey than Wayne's. I'll see if I can get some comparison pics up tonight. Earlier in the thread someone also suggested oknfl but the group I was with voted for whatjersey instead so I can't comment on that.
