Gothamite Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ten years, from the 2001 to 2010 seasons.Far too long, in my opinion. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElwoodCuse Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I can understand them wanting one company to make jerseys. It was pretty silly when we had Starter, Nike, Puma, and Adidas all making replica jerseys.The NFL deciding they only need one video game was completely retarded, though.

WSU151 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I don't really Mind Reebok so much, I can just imagine the horrors Nike might have come up with. Nike had five years to come up with ideas, and yet, they didn't change a whole lot. Give Nike a break. The biggest change was the Broncos, and while it was different at the time, it wasn't a "horror". Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Fred T. Jane Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 It's also a stretch to call it a Nike Swoosh. I agree. I wonder sometimes about the paranoia surrounding Nike. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Gothamite Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I don't give Reebok a free pass. They're as bad as Nike, if not worse. That's why the new contract is far too long. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I preferred it that way...it's called competition, and it usually forces products quality. I loved both the Nike and adidas replica NFL jerseys. I didn't ever notice any competition. They all cost pretty much the same, and there was no significant difference between the jerseys (unlike Madden vs. NFL 2k). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it was that competition that kept the prices down, back when I began to purchase replica jerseys, they cost no more than $45. Nowadays with the Reebok monopoly (which has its own pros and cons) replica jerseys go for $74.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays with the Reebok monopoly (which has its own pros and cons) replica jerseys go for $74.99. Wow, $45 replicas! I remember those days...There were subtle differences between replicas put out by Nike, adidas, Reebok (pre-NFL Equipment), Puma, etc.Nike and adidas were the most accurate, IMO. The one thing I loved about both company's replicas was that the number sizes were accurate, with larger numbers on the back, as is the case with authentic NFL jerseys. Pumas weren't bad, the quality was ok, as were the Reebok jerseys. For some reason, Reebok replicas had player nameplates higher off the back numbers than usual.
