guest23 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Interesting piece on PFT:===For first time ever, player jerseys were customized on sitePosted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2012, 9:54 AM EDTBackstage last night at Radio City Music Hall, well before the Chiefs? selection with the 11th pick in the draft was announced, I saw someone carrying a red jersey with white letters and yellow trim that had the name ?POE? on the back. I resisted the temptation (unlike another guy in the media who repeatedly took a page from his apple-eating Biblical namesake) to broadcast the pick via Twitter. Besides, I was more curious about something else.How many different jerseys with ?POE? on the back were in the building, and how could I finagle one of them?League spokesman Brian McCarthy has supplied the answer: None.For the first time ever, Nike was customizing the jerseys on site. Thus, for any of the 26 men in the green room, a jersey would have been instantly prepared for any team taking any player.Brian sent along the picture of the process, with the names of each player ready to be printed up and applied to the back of the jerseys.So there will be no collector?s items this year or, apparently, in any future years, like the Colts jersey bearing the name and number of Ryan Leaf, which Dan Patrick has in his studio.===Crazy! My buddies and I were talking about this last night. I thought each team would bring in 20-30 jerseys with names already sewn for the event. My friend commented it'd be amazing if they were stitched at the draft. He was right.staples center has something similar where you can can get a personalized lakers/clippers/kings jersey in something like 5 minutes via this crazy machine...unfortunately I didn't see it run though...after seeing the 1st 10 picks getting their names on the back I figured that something similar had to be going on.not sure how the nameplates were applied though...I doubt they were sewed on...maybe velcro or glue?

Maybe like glue on the back of a jersey patch - just heat up, and iron on. Velco name plates don't lie super "flat" per se. If you look at a military uniform, you can definitely see the difference between velcro and sewn-on. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Gothamite Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yep. The nameplates were sewn on before and the names were heat-pressed on top. This is common in England - you can go to Ashburton Grove and get an Arsenal jersey customized with your name in about the time it takes to run your credit card.

theSLVRBCK Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Don't think he'll be wearing this number, lol ... but it's the only jersey we've gotten to see him with so far. Robinson already has #81 ... and Blackmon said he will wear whatever number he is issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I know everyone is dying for this one: Riley Reiff is going to wear #71.Great pick, btw. Dude's a beast, and seems like a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 In the Packers' case at least, it appears so. You can see the classic construction; the "Game" jerseys use Nike's standard template. But I don't think we've seen the intermediate jersey to know how they're making those. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Island_Style Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Does anyone else feel like the jerseys they are holding are, like two sizes too big? Also they seem very flat like someone added too much starch. HahahaThey are made for photo ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I tried to post once, but I'll try again. I'm a little bothered by Griffin III being on the jersey. Isn't that a little overkill? Is it because they market RG3? What's next, the guy with the hyphen last name with that like Johnson-Griffin IV or the triple hyphen name when Rogers-Cromartie's kids get older?
