TheRicSlick Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The sleeves are obnoxiously long on all replica jerseys regardless of brand. Never understood the reasoning.Because football jerseys are meant to be put over pads. So the sizes and the sleeves run large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It's probably more that it's an over sized t shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood the reasoning.Because football jerseys are meant to be put over pads. So the sizes and the sleeves run largeThat may have been the case 30 years ago but on field sleeves are now capped which barley cover the shoulder. Cheap replica jerseys have stayed with the traditional cut of the 70's-80's because that's what the consumer is used to when they think of a football jersey. You need it to fit like a shirt not a cycling jersey. Also a modern an on field cut looks horrible without pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowTheMyth Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nice alternate helmet logo for Louisiana Tech. Tulane, on the other hand, fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGameBob Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 ....I like Tulane's new helmet and uniforms... Maybe it's just the homer in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the sizes and the sleeves run largeThe strange thing is that for a youth or toddler jersey they are a decent size. But when I bought a XL Browns jersey the sleeves almost touch my elbows. I'm almost tempted to have the them trimmed up so they look similar to how the kids sleeves are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafiaman Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Michigan Wolverine fan here...I have to give Eastern Michigan credit for trying something different - I hope it draws some fans and maybe a good recruit or two. UMich is the reason Eastern has no fans to begin with. No one is going to leave the Big House to go watch the team with the worst historical record play on a parking lot.I'm familiar with both Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor...would be nice to see the Hurons, er, Eagles, have some success.

waltere Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Grey- what a perfect color to pair with an overcast autumn day in Ypsilanti and a 50 point loss.Also, EMU has named their field "The Factory". Fitting, given how factories on the Eastern side of Michigan have been doing lately. Odd. In the past eastern has been known for it's awesome style.The long lost grandfather of the current Miami Ohio look.Genuine question: What the heck is the point of helmets with logo on one side, number on the other? It's not just that that look is now so, so played out and derivative, I don't even understand where it came from in the first place. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money.I don't think the Steelers are worried about the $500-$1000 it would take to put a second decal on 53 helmets for a whole season. Maybe they were worried about it 75 years ago...but not now. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish that this was the case with adult jerseys too. I understand wanting to make it easy to fit sweatshirts and such for cold weather, but that's why you buy a size larger instead.
