ShaftDu Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I noticed this on their online store. I think they are using a different font for the numbers this year. Take a look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I don't know how reliable that pic is. While that jersey doesn't even have tv numbers, and looks like a low grade replica. That number even looks like it may be just photoshopped on there. Was that jersey like 39.99 or something?

yh Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The #2 in the (heavily photoshopped) photo from the NFL store lacks a serif at its base. That's the only diff I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I doubt those are the new numbers. It looks more like a bootleg jersey from ebay than anything. Shame on NFL store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The #2 in the (heavily photoshopped) photo from the NFL store lacks a serif at its base. That's the only diff I see. It's way thicker too. Look at the differences in black space at the top of the 2 twos. Also, with the fake one, you couldn't add a serif because it would go right into the elbow (right term?) of the two.

Thunderstruk Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Upon further review you are correct it is different!!! I opologi as Sammy Sosa would say!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The lettering and numbers are different. Looks like a freeware font (meaning:CHEAP) SF Collegiate for the letters and numbers.The Saints use the omnipresent generic NFL block numbers, and a condensed version of Franklin Gothic Medium for the letters.This just smells bad all around.

ShaftDu Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 i thought it was a bad photoshop too this is shown as an authentic on this page http://saintsmerchandise.net/saints/custom...ome.php?cat=258on their websiteactually I don't know, looking at that page, it seems like on some of them it is normal then they photoshop it (really badly). Or maybe these are the new numbers or who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers on the website appear rounded whereas the #2 is clearly squared off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaftDu Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 the gold looks a little different but that could be the lighting.I should have used his number because the number 4 is way different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Those odd numbers/letters look like the result of some shoddy MS Paint work.Shock, shock, somebody in the Saints organization is half-assing it.My guess: no change at all, except perhaps in web store personnel.
