johnnysama Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I made a thread about this a decade ago, and since it's poor nettiqute to revive that thread, I've decided to make a new one. ----- I posted this in 2006: Quote This dawned onto my mind a while back. Why doesn't Mitchell and Ness make NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) and CFL throwback jerseys? I understand that not many people would buy them here in America (but I would!), but it would make for a great seller in Japan and Canada. I'd love to see a 1988 Ray Elgaard Roughriders home jersey, or maybe even a Sadaharu Oh [Yomiuri Giants] jersey from 1974. Aw, man, the possiblities are endless... In the decade that has passed since I made that post, I've seen quite a few Nippon Pro Baseball retro jerseys sold in Japan, but CFL hasn't made much an effort to make throwback jerseys. Talk about a missed opportunity for the CFL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Since adidas owns Mitchell & Ness, you'd think the CFL would be an easy fit. But the market must be too small to justify production. Perhaps there's an issue with player licensing, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
