gosioux76 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Retail 101: Stock a fill size run of every team in every design for the 3 people from Cleveland that might come through the Portland Store can maybe buy something...perhaps.On a practical level, I don't disagree. But those jerseys have value as unsold inventory that weigh on the company's books if it doesn't move. Why sit on it in Portland when it would sell better somewhere closer to Cleveland? If a Cleveland fan is going to spend $100 on a jersey, it's not likely they'll make that decision while on a visit to Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I understand it's not an NFL-only store, and obviously it can all be ordered online. But where is a fan supposed to go to see, touch and try on the gear? The local sporting goods stores stock Falcons gear and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambulance Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yea I knew about the Charcoal stripe for the eagles...but didn't know about the rams horns...I guess it's because they play at least 9 of their games in a dome it just went unnoticed.Midnight teal Green is such an awful color. And charcoal doesn't help it in the slightest. Hopefully we get a whole new look since we are terrible this year and starting a new era in 2013.It's pretty subtle even in shots where you'd expect to see it.Ugh...I hate how thin the horns have become since Spagnuolo fired the Rams' longtime equipment manager.

For all the money they spent, they dropped the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I knew about the Eagles stripe because it changed. It was different on the Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens McFarlane figures. I bet Madden didn't bother to change it XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine applying a curved sticker to a curved helmet is the easiest thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
