Jacksonville Jaguars NOB

[oldschoolvikings]

I was just leafing thru a new NFL catalog (Came in the mail!! Shades of the pre-interwebs days!) and looking at the Jags jerseys... are their NOBs actually slightly arched, or is something wrong with the picture? Or my eyesight?

Anyone confirm?

I cant confirm it but in this picture it does look slightly arched.

It's probably from the natural curve in the jersey. I'm pretty sure they're just like any other NOB.

Looks to me like the natural curve of the jersey.

If you look at in-game photos you can tell that the new material (techfit) causes some of the namplates to get awkwardly skewed. Like in this picture:

But, judging by David Garrard's jersey, the NOB appears pretty straight.

never noticed the jacksonville script over the jaguars script on the front of the jersey.

man these have to be my least favorite jerseys in the nfl right now, the whole uniform is a mess actually.

God, look at Lewis' jersey. It's like the team got their uniforms done at the least reputable t-shirt shop in town.

I think NFL uniform regulations prohibit any sort of nameplating that isn't x inches high, above the numbers, and horizontal. Of course, NFL uniform regulations also prohibit everything currently worn in the NFL, so...?

Just looks like the material is stretched akwardly to me.

As a Jags fan, I'm not a fan.

What's up with this photo? Garrard's striping looks like the normal team pattern, but No. 62's looks like it starts under the armpit. I know lineman's jerseys are cut and/or worn differently, but even with a different shoulder/sleeve cut, shouldn't that particular striping be unaffected??

I know this kinda off-topic, but David Garrard's cleats look really dope.

Kenny, the discrepancy you're seeing is that Garrard is wearing a regular/"old" jersey, while the lineman is wearing one of the extra-tight TechFit jerseys. A few games into last season, the Jags started wearing TechFit on a player-by-player basis. The fact that the Jaguars changed uniforms to a design with wacky round-the-back piping that became outmoded and unusable a half-season after they introduced it is perhaps the most hysterical piece of evidence toward the Jags' uniform redesign being an abject failure.

Yea, they managed to make the cut affect the striping. If you look at this pic (below) you can see that the striping continues onto the sleeve, to give it a similar appearance.

Jaguars uniforms make baby Jesus cry.

they looked so much better before:

[The_Admiral]

Teal flake black helmets are the best thing they've ever worn; too bad everything else is their worst.

exactly what I was thinking. I didn't know Nike made hyperdunk cleats
