DCarp1231 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 There was a clip of the cowboys doing a promo appearance in London yesterday and they had ads on their white game jerseys. I have to think this is a 1st and is definitely a test of things likely to come. They will likely wait for the nba to take the lead and absorb most of the outrage but get ready for your favorite team's corporate sponsor to be on the upper right chest. most likely just practice jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any of it, but that would be my guess.Exactly the point of my statement, they were just jerseys for the promo event but my point being that but this is the 1st official pairing of a game jersey with ad patches to my knowledge. They definitely were not the stripe-less, star on sleeve, white/navy, practice jerseys. We will likely be seeing more of this and I would be willing to bet that the London series could see in game ads on jerseys as early as next season and ultimately come stateside.

Gothamite Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Baseball has had ads on their regular-season Japan and Australia trips for over a decade. Hasn't led to regular uni ads yet.

guest23 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Baseball has had ads on their regular-season Japan and Australia trips for over a decade. Hasn't led to regular uni ads yet.This one's from 2004:Correct. Your statement is consistent with my premise that we are very likely to see in game ads in London before we do stateside. I believe the nfl is using the above example as a basis for their own uniform ad test. Unlike baseball, I believe the nfl is more progressive in monetizing uniform ads in general and will consider bringing them stateside if they perceive their test to be successful. I also think they are going to wait and see how successful the nba is before they act. This seems like a very plausible and eventual scenario but only time will tell whether or not it pans out.I also think the prevailing opinion on this board has suggested that despite mlb having been the 1st of the big 3 leagues to experiment with uniform ads overseas etc, they will likely be the last league to get into uniform ads due to their fixation with tradition. That's not to say that mlb doesn't have this discussion internally they just don't want to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Eagles flat jerseys look like crap. They look like t shirts or the low-end Walmart style without the metallic sheen. At least the sweat box hasn't been an issue... yet.

daveindc Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm starting to dig all the flat jerseys and helmets in the NFL. They have more of a lighter, athletic look than the shiny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah I actually really like the green Eagles jerseys... Don't know if I like how the helmet seems like it's a totally different looking shade of green... Maybe they should experiment in the near future with a matte midnight green helmet and updated wing logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoz851 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The jags just need their helmet fade to transition longer. It's very sudden and that's why it looks bad. There needs to be more of a neutral in the missle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailGoldPants Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I double taked when I first saw them. They look almost turquoise to me. It reminds me of when Louisiville basketball came out in those red highlighter Adidas unis that looked almost orange.

illini1 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The matte midnight green jerseys are definitely better than metallic midnight green jerseys. Now they just need a matte helmet to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshey Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The eagles looked like a mess. The green looked closer to turquoise and is completely miss-matched with the helmet. They need a make over in the worst way and this set has already had a decent run, put it to rest Eagles. GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the sweat box hasn't been an issue... yet.I feel the opposite. The cheap walmart jerseys are always really shiny, as are peewee and middle school jerseys. I feel like matte jerseys give a more modern look and better show off the colors (when not a gold or silver shade). The titans for example look a hundred times better since the switch imo.

nuordr Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I cannot believe the Eagles had to wait 10 weeks for those jerseys they debuted last night. I really like the shiny uniforms better for any team as they seem to match helmets and this was the case with these new Eagles jerseys. This matte trend needs to go away now! If it stays, then teams like the 49ers and Saints will never be able to match the color of the jerseys/pants to the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there have been a few holdouts in the nfl, but college basically switched over quite some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just gold or silver, which is bad enough. But green? All that money, all that merchandising power, all those designers and engineers and they can't handle green?

BBTV Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The matte midnight green jerseys are definitely better than metallic midnight green jerseys. Now they just need a matte helmet to match.Couldn't disagree more. Their brand is about being sleek, fast, aggressive, etc. I don't think old-school matte conveys that image. The matte jerseys look like t-shirts to me. The eagles looked like a mess. The green looked closer to turquoise and is completely miss-matched with the helmet. They need a make over in the worst way and this set has already had a decent run, put it to rest Eagles. I agree with your first two sentences (though let's give it a chance under natural lighting first), but not the last one. I'm not opposed to a makeover as long as it's good, but I don't see the need for one. They just need metallic jerseys again to match the helmet better.Eagles flat jerseys look like crap. They look like t shirts or the low-end Walmart style without the metallic sheen.At least the sweat box hasn't been an issue... yet.I feel the opposite.

I feel like matte jerseys give a more modern look and better show off the colors (when not a gold or silver shade). The titans for example look a hundred times better since the switch imo.I don't know - the super low-end jerseys I've seen being worn are always flat - basically like glorified stretchy t-shirts. I don't see how matte is modern at all (it can be, but isn't inherently.) Some teams / colors look better matte, some don't.

aIpha Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I made an account solely to ask this question because I haven't seen it asked anywhere:Where are the Eagles midnight green pants? They've been missing all season and if our jerseys were supposedly ready after the bye, then wouldn't the pants be also? Have they been scrapped altogether or might we see them this Sunday?
