SoxSteeler Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Atlanta's unis are way better than the McChiefs. I can't get past the yellow/red color combo. I don't like it for any team in any sport.I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a place for it in sports, god knows there needs to be more variety in some leagues. I just wouldn't put it at the top of any lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGCleveland Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Now ya got an authentic throwback of Stevie Johnson's from the AFL-50 Legacy season of 2009. Can't call 'em genuine retros since the numbers were on the sleeves above the striping back in 1965. I will say this, I truly love what Reebok did with it.Those are both knockoff jerseys...

nicktharipper Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I wasn't sure if I was the only one who noticed. Decent fakes, but fake. Retail jerseys don't have patches. Or bunchy numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wasn't able to snap a picture in time. But in RG3's press conference the nike swoosh was cut out of his tshirt. I don't see nike being very happy about that but at the same time I understand it seeing Adidas is there poster child.did anyone notice that he was wearing logoless black cleats taped over (aka nikes) in the 1st preseason game?..adidas can't be too happy with that.

Maybe he just got so used to playing in them in college?? Anyone have any good pics??oh and a side note, i really like the high white striped sock with the solid black cleats paired with the yellow pants looked really sharp imo.

andrewharrington Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's the adizero 5-Star Mid. I'm not sure what the NFL regulations are regarding visible footwear logos, but I'd guess that's the reason for the blackout version. I've seen an image on the web of them in Redskins' colors.

NickSixers Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't have a link, but I believe adidas didn't maintain the relationship required with the NFL for its shoes to be worn in games when Reebok's exclusive license expired. If you recall, it was a big deal when the NFL and Under Armour agreed to a deal a few years ago that allowed UA athletes to wear its shoes and gloves in games. I believe that adidas currently does not have that standing with the NFL.Here's a picture of Reggie Bush in the Dolphins' first pre-season game, and it appears that he's wearing all-white cleats & all-aqua gloves with no branding.

shaydre1019 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yeah that makes sense. I think the blackout and the tape made it a lot harder to see. Either way Im digging the all black cleats. I was never a fan of black and yellow cleats.Also have the raiders always worn black cleats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTnSocal Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those are both knockoff jerseys...I wasn't sure if I was the only one who noticed. Decent fakes, but fake. Retail jerseys don't have patches. Or bunchy numbers.Both of those jerseys are genuine authentic jerseys, not knockoffs, not fakes, not China Counterfeits ... They were already checked for their authenticity by a Reebok insider, so you both can think and believe whatever you'd like.In 2009 the AFL authentic throwbacks came with the stitched on AFL-50 legacy patches. The replica version were heat applied. Not sure about the Premier.If one ordered a custom authentic jersey, they had the option of having the AFL-50 patch in 2009.All authentic jersey numbers had somewhat smaller jersey numbers in the front than they were on the backside. The replicas were both the same size in both front and back as they were being heat-applied along with the AFL-50 patches.The on-field game-worn seemed to have the elastic band taken off by the equipment mgrs.I've seen the fakes and the China Counterfeits .... and these aren't them.I'm sure Andrew Harrington will also verify all that.

Their all-white uniform is really bland and bad.I agree 100%. Atrociously bland.All the more reason the Browns should scrap the white pants completely and go with orange pants instead. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
