rmackman Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I know last year you could buy authentic NCAA jerseys from a lot of the major football programs. Eastbay and some of the team's local stores had them, but I haven't seen any for this year yet. Is it too soon, or will Nike/Adidas/Etc. not be putting out authentic versions of their college jerseys? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

Yac12 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Are you looking for game worn jerseys or the style that is worn on the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 I want a Florida Gators authentic jersey like the one worn on the field, but not game worn. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

simpsontide Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Beware when buying a Florida jersey. You won't get a #12 Chris Leak jersey. Florida has an agreement with Nike(and I believe its been this way for many yrs) that the only numbered jerseys are #1 and #96. I seem to remember seeing it in an Eastbay catalog once. Look on their site and they may have it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yea it's always been that way except when they temporarily allowed #8 b/c they thought Rex Grossman was going to make a Heisman push. I don't see anything on their site though. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.

mike42 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I was told by one of the bigger Miami retailers that they'd have authentic Nike jerseys in stock in July. My guess is that's when they'll have all the Nike schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Dave Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yes, you will be able to get a seletion of Nike schools, and UF is one. I believe Fla is #1, because of the above mentioned agreement. Look for them to ship to the retailers in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Eastbay is not carrying them yet, but Football Fanatics has the #1 jersey.P.S. Michigan is selling its new jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Ok good so I will get one in July. Maybe they will do #12 this year because they did #8 one year for Rex Grossman when he was making a Heisman push. If UF thinks Leak can do that, they may want #12 jerseys out to try to advertise. Who knows. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.

MJWalker45 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I like the prices for these jerseys. Pretty nice considering NFL jerseys can cost twice as much. Of course Eastbay is selling off notre Dame and Tennessee's uni's from last year for $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 On another note...I think it's really stupid how NFL and NCAA football jerseys only go as small as size 48 now. I have a Brett Favre size 48 and a Dan Marino 48 and they're pretty big on me. They should make 44 or even better...46. NHL used to make 46 but they stopped doing that also I think. I guess they assume most sports fans wear XL. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.

artvandelay Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Do you have the number or whatever I need to contact them? I just went on the niketown website. You used to be able to buy college jerseys online. I couldn't find it anymore. "...and you want to be my latex salesman." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
