illiniguy Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I was wondering if anyone knows if these are just fashion jerseys or unused alternates.Bengals jersey #1Bengals Jersey #2Sorry about the size but you can get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojomiko Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I saw the white one on eBay the other day and was going to post the same question here. I'm assuming that they are fashison jerseys. I doubt that the NFL wil allow for 5 different jerseys to be used during a season. Besides, the white alternate is ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 these arent official alternates they will be wearing on the field, only fashion jerseys. Thats what I've gathered at least, i've been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Dave Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Actually, they are neither. They were released as a cheaper version of the replica jersey at the end of the season. Reebok for some reason tends to do this when a team is making a run, and they didn't have a huge surplus of jerseys to ship out. The Steelers also had a version of this, with a 1/2 sleeve stripe on the sleeves (it didn't wrap around like on the normal replica). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers also had a version of this, with a 1/2 sleeve stripe on the sleeves (it didn't wrap around like on the normal replica). I think we covered this a year or two ago. From what I remember, someone reported that when a team is making a run and the manufacturers (remember Reebok farms this stuff out) don't have that team's unique template, they just grab one of the basic templates (like Raiders) and make it fit. That's why the cuts of the Steelers jerseys with the half-stripe aren't in the same 'Broncos-esque' style that they usually wear, and why late-season Eagles replicas don't have sleeve stripes or colored necks.

They had the half sleeve Steelers next to the full sleve ones. I kept thinking to myself, WTF? Why the hell would you buy that cheap piece of crap when you have the full stripe in the same size right next to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I do remember the Bengals wearing black at home and white on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
