Bret Bielema said previously that they we’re going to wait until they have everything from Nike before doing a reveal so I’m expecting a complete uniform reveal tomorrow.

New Illinois uniforms will be unveiled tomorrow.

I am a bit confused with the new USA kits.
When they were revealed a couple months ago, they said the white shirt would only be worn by the women while the blue shirt would be shared by both the men and women.
However, Nike now has an authentic match issue shirt listed as “coming soon” in a men’s cut without the gold women’s stars above the crest. It looks like a men’s only design.
Could this be in response to the mostly negative reaction and probably poor sales of the white World Cup jersey?

I guess there’s a red line there according to pictures I’ve seen on Twitter.

There are no white goal lines in the TCU game. It’s so weird not seeing a white line between the grass and black end zone.

I wish they could've figured out a way to hook the M on the bat. I hate when the word is just hovering there, like the Louis on the Cardinals alternate jersey.

Love the Tortugas look. However, they aren't the only baseball team named after a turtle. The Springfield Sliders of the Propsect league have this logo:
I'm sure it's because I live in Springfield, but every time I see any of the Tortugas logos I think it's the Springfield Sliders. The Tortugas aren't located near Springfield and I'm sure very few people have even heard of the Springfield Sliders, so it won't be an issue.

I have a 6 hour layover at the Seoul Incheon airport on Monday. I wonder if there are any stores nearby?Yeah, basketball is not mainstream popular here yet. You usually have to find basketball-specific stores to find some. There's definitely no jersey market or stores focused on tourists. There are, however in Shanghai, and I believe South Korea.

I haven't seen one basketball jersey since I've been here in Vietnam. I thought I might see some baseball, basketball and football jerseys for tourists, but there aren't any.
I'm not on expert on soccer jerseys, but I think the fakes can be really good. I have some Manchester United fakes (purchased from someone in Malaysia) that I bought for $35 each in past years - when I compared them (and looking closely at feel and detail in stitching, especially patches and logos) to in-store items, I could not tell the difference.I found some real (I think) Nike replica soccer jerseys today for only $55. They're normally $85 in the US. If they were fakes they were really good fakes. I didn't take pictures because if I lingered too long I would have had salespeople hassling me.
I promise I'll get pictures before I leave.
For basketball jerseys, however, I can see the difference pretty easily. Basketball-focused stores will sell fake Swingmans for $20.

That's what I guessed since I haven't seen any jerseys with names and numbers, but I wasn't sure.
it was probably their own names if everyone was differentI still haven't got any pictures of fake jerseys here in Vietnam, but the other day we were driving through a town and there was a kids soccer game being played. Both teams were wearing fake pro soccer uniforms (jerseys and shorts). I'm not sure what teams they were. One team was wearing a blue jersey with a middle vertical stripe and "Fly Emirates" was the sponsor. Each jersey had a different name and number. I was too far away too be able to tell if it was the kid's names or if they copied the pro players names and numbers as well.

My hotel is in the Old Quarter near Hoan Kiem Lake. Most of the jerseys I've seen are in shops in this area. All the jerseys I've seen have been soccer jerseys.I'm in Hanoi, Vietnam for two weeks. I could fill 10 pages with pictures of fake jerseys. They're sold on almost every street. They even have fake Apple stores here.
I actually live in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City. I assume the jerseys you're seeing are football/soccer ones. While there are specific basketball shops in Hanoi, not much in terms of other sports are available. I used to live in Hanoi for a few years so I'm pretty sure I know where you are.
Jerseys in Vietnam (fakes) can be purchased for as low as $5, a variety of different grades. I rarely see jerseys worn for fashion, however - they actually use them for athletic wear. No regular person could ever dream (well, they could, but would never do it) of purchasing a real jersey.

I will if my kids will cooperate. I tried to today, but they wouldn't allow me to stop and look at anything.I'm in Hanoi, Vietnam for two weeks. I could fill 10 pages with pictures of fake jerseys. They're sold on almost every street. They even have fake Apple stores here.
Post some pics if you can.

There was an article some 5 years ago in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that said the Steelers were going to adopt a gold alternate jersey for games against southern teams that wear white at home. I've looked for this jersey and never found anything about it, though there was something that might have been related to it on ebay some time ago. I guess they'll never happen now that the throwback is here to stay
I doubt the NFL would ever allow a white on gold game anyway.

It doesn’t look the same to me. It says “kept the stitching style”. It doesn’t say it’s chainstitching. I think they might have come up with a way to mimic it.
I hope I’m wrong.
