MisterE Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 What's up with the NFL Shop selling generic black and white Cardinals jerseys with the Super Bowl logo on them? I was looking to see if the NFL Shop website had any Kurt Warner replica jerseys with the Super Bowl logo on them, and while they do offer some less popular players' jerseys in the actual style of the Cards' uniforms, the jerseys available for Warner and Fitzgerald are generic looking black and white jerseys with the bare bones look of the Cardinals' actual jerseys. Did the NFL somehow run out of normal Warner and Fitzgerald jerseys and is instead substituting some quickly designed practice jerseys that look very little like the actual jerseys the Cardinals will take the field with in Tampa and are yet still charging $85 for them? Am I wrong to think the NFL's gonna try to rip people off again with these "limited-edition" Super Bowl jerseys or am I not giving the NFL enough credit for capitalizing on people's stupidity when they buy these bootlegs?Link (jerseys of interest are the three at the top of the page): http://www.nflshop.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2237478By the way, the NFL Shop does not have any Steelers jerseys that resemble these. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame.
speedy Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Those generic ones look better than their actual jerseys IMO.
oddball Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 What does it say when the black generic one looks better than what they wear on the field? Seriously, those generic ones blow the actual ones out of the water.
JayJaxon Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 The black ones look pretty good IMO. Looks like the NFL version of the D-Backs Alternate.
fkaKrock5cent Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 What about this bad boy?http://www.nflshop.com/product/index.jsp?p...rentPage=familylooks more like a soccer jersey to me.....
BBTV Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I think when they run low on a particular team's stock, they simply take the Raiders template (the most plain "generic" one out there) and mass print other team's graphics on them.That explains those Steelers replicas in 2005 that didn't have the sleeve stripes that went all the way around, the Eagles jerseys in 2004 that didn't have the colored cuff / collars, and these. It's just more noticable on these because the Cardinals' regular template is so fancy.
