NFL Personalized Replicas

[EagleFan344]

Does anyone own a Reebok personalized replica jersey? How is the quality on it?

I have two. I have a Raiders Doug Jolley jersey and it looks good, but how hard would it have to be to F*uck up a Raiders jersey? I also have a Bucs white JOLLEY #56 jersey and it looks horrid. The sleve logos are about two sizes too big and the numbers are unevenly aligned. I say dont bother

Thx, I appreciate it.

They use the same plopty generic helvetica font for the name on every jersey, it looks like something out of Madden. So unless you have a name with no curvy letters, like "Tillman", don't bother.

It looks like ill pass.

It depends on the team sometimes, Eagle. Some of them are passable, but here's my story from Christmas of last year. I ordered a Personalized Lions replica for my dad, and I was thrilled when It got here within a week, opened it to make sure the last name was spelled correctly, and it was, even in the right font. The only problem was that they used the same number font that all of the teams supplied by Champion used (Notre Dame, Ohio State, NY Jets, Bills, etc). I called and they said it had to be a mistake, and sent another one. Well, the one they sent was the same way. It turns out that they use a company in Florida called Team Edition, and Team Edition had no interest in correcting this (NFL Shop claimed they were virtually powerless in the stance their supplier had taken) and said they used this font for all of the teams that use the basic block font, and weren't about to change. There may be someone on this board who works for the Eastbay/ FootLocker/ NFL Shop group who could tell us if this has changed, but as far as I know, its still this way.

It must be something that changed with Reebok. Back when the personalized jerseys were Nike (2000), my IM football team all got personalized white Rams jerseys. They used the proper font, and the jerseys looked great.

I have a white Patriots Bruschi replica I got for Christmas 4 years ago. You could only buy blue jerseys in the stores, so my mother called NFL Shop.com to order the jersey.

The jersey material itself is the same quality of replicas that year. All the correct fonts were used. The only thing that stands out is the red used for outlining the numbers seems a little bright, but that's it. Everything else matches really well.
