Jerseys - Game-Worn, Team-Issued, Authentic, Replica, Fake, and everything in between

[JeffSchmeff]

I got a Kerrigan Game jersey at the Redskins store over the weekend. The store manager told me they were supposed to get Griffin Limited jerseys next month, and was "90%" sure they would be getting a Limited Throwback. He did say there would not be an Elite Throwback. He said it's been a chore for Nike to produce the jerseys, and the lead time required to produce them (which is why they are selling Hightower and Cooley jerseys still). I got to get my hands on a Kerrigan limited, and it seemed like it was worth the $50 more. One annoying about the Redskins store is how they charge $15 more than Nike charges. Seems cheesy to me.

how much did you pay? 115 for a game?

[JeffSchmeff]

Yep, $120 with tax. It just annoys me that they mark them up $15, probably because they know they have the best availability.

My guess is that something in the production of the Elite materials was really wrong. There is just no way Nike would drop the ball on this and not capitalize.

Well right I agree, but bottom line Nike has had years (yes, years) to plan this, way back from when they first signed the 5-year deal with the NFL. Now call me crazy, but you don't sign a uniform (and more importantly, merchandising) contract with the most lucrative pro sports league in the world and not be 150% sure you have your ducks in line in the production process. No doubt there have been some serious conversations at the top of the NFL's marketing department over this, as I'm sure some major brass in the NFL are less than impressed by how this is turning out. Nike is now essentially guaranteeing that their 5-year deal with the league won't be picked up again when all is said and done. Maybe its time to give adidas a shot (Griffin would love that!)

So why didn't you just order it from Nike? Free shipping and no tax, you know...

so im just confused now. I understand that there seems to be a delay, which its unfortunate, id love to buy myself an elite but im confused on the throwback elite information. People keep saying in here, as well as workers that there will be no elite versions made for the throwback jersey. could it be that at the moment that the redskins workers are saying this because they know of the delay telling customers they will not be made to just sell the replicas that they do have or had in stock? i definitely can see it. Then theres others as well as the gentleman who provided the update a page ago that there will be elites made for the throwbacks. The Nike site has the throwback elites up, just not in stock, as mentioned i just dont see why they would bother putting it up on the site to not have the intention to sell when they finally produce them.

Well at least a Limited Throwback wouldn't be bad, I'd rock one of those since they're relatively cheap. But then I'd still likely pick up a white Elite Griffin when those eventually come out

i would definitely pay $135 for a limited, but who knows for sure if they are ever coming (at least the 80th throwback)

Yeah I agree about the Nike page situation, really makes no sense that they would have them up on that page when they have no hope of having them produced this year. And its not just the Skins page - you look at any team that has a throwback and/or 3rd uniform, and most of them are at least shown on their respective pages (though for some teams there aren't even any Elites shown, just says "Coming Soon".

I dunno, to me its almost amazing that they are even able to make enough for the players on the field at this point, LOL. I mean you know we've got a problem if you start seeing used or grass-stained jerseys on players as they head out of the locker rooms, ha ha ha.

They didn't have the white Kerrigan on the Nike store. They barely have any white jerseys, and that's what I wanted.

Just threw down on a Kai Forbath jersey.

Ah yes, the white Game jerseys are tough to find, even in the RG3 (though Nike does have those now).

[Rypien 91]

Anybody know where I can get a Fletch jersey this weekend without buying it from the team store? Maybe Modell's? Stopping at Potomac Mills on the way in also.

Will my Forbath custom elite jersey be delivered before we cut him? My Cundiff one hasn't even been shipped yet.

LMFAO (at the "hasn't even been shipped yet" part), well played.
