It's not like that's a licensed name, and you'd be violating copyright. However, considering the letter that the athletic department sent out, and the fact that the MDEN just became the official merch provider again (rightfully so) they probably wouldn't do it. As usual the NCAA is completely hypocritical, they have no problem making money off a certain player's number, but they wave their finger at using his nickname.

I would be cooler.

It's like Michigan meets the XFL...

Lewan name plate needs to read "He Hate Donkey"
September 27th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
Yes, I am hesitant to order it because they might not make it. Especially after what happened to the mgostore. I might just go with a #2 jersey with nothing on the name.
September 27th, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
You might as well give it a shot. It's not like they're going to take your money if it's rejected.

I am not too sure if you will have a problem. I saw a guy tailgating at Pioneer last Saturday with a custom #16 jersey with shoelace on the back.
September 27th, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
However I don't think they will allow it. Great idea though
September 27th, 2010 at 1:18 PM ^
Why not have the back say "Cordón", the spanish word for shoelace? They probably would allow that...

BigBrother and it went through :-)
September 27th, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
Maybe you could just order a #16 jersey with no name and then get shoelace put on through a different source to get around it.

The NFL wouldn't let you custom order a Vick jersey with the name Mexico on the back?
Remember when that was Vick's biggest shortcoming in the public eye?
September 27th, 2010 at 1:33 PM ^
Could probably get one with Dilithium on the back
September 27th, 2010 at 1:37 PM ^
what if you got a #16 with Heisman on the back? that would be pretty sweet
September 27th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
I have already order this jersey, have yet to receive it, but got no information from them that it was an issue.
September 27th, 2010 at 2:13 PM ^
...buy it customized with all the letters needed to spell 'SHOELACE' but in a different order so as not to tip anyone off to your real purpose- then use a seam ripper to take the letters off and put them back on in the right order...
You'd have to make sure you've got someone who can make it look as good as the real thing.
If you don't have that, you would just need the patience to get it right.
Once it's done, you'll be the envy of everyone else who wanted one, but couldn't order it.

Does anyone here OWN a 2010 adidas authentic? I'd like to see pictures before I spend $150-$195 on one. The pictures on mden and eastbay are generic and do not show detail. Thanks!

You could get robinson though right? So why not shoelace?!
