Jersey Fail

Add last night to the list of complaints against Adidas. Burke, Morgan, and Stauskas all tore their jerseys during the game, to the extent that Burke and Morgan actually needed replacements. I didn't actually notice Stauskas's jersey tear, but it's mentioned in the recap. My wife did notice that Morgan's replacement jersey was torn in the final minutes, so that's at least 4 torn jerseys in one game. Ridiculous.

Has something like this ever happened before? I know it was a physical game and all, but I never even saw how the jerseys got torn. Did anyone else? Or is Adidas trying out paper jerseys?

Shit happens. Jerseys tear. No Adidas jerseys had this happen before last night.

The real fail in my opinion is not carrying a second jersey with each player's actual number on it.  Strange to carry randon extra jerseys but no actual back ups.

I thought the exact same thing.  I pictured them opening up a box of jerseys before the game and the team manager saving "Robinison....here's your #1......ok...here's your  trey......does anybody have #3 again?  No?  Ok....back in the box.....Who has #4?"

players like AC had many jerseys in reserve.  the trend started in the old Big 8 and SEC, and if memory serves, AC was the first michigan play to use them -- Bo was old school on teh topic but saw the need w/AC.

 

tear-aways were banned shortly there after.

Maybe this is asking too much, but I would hope that jersey technology has advanced somewhat in the last 30 years, when players basically wore straight-up polyester mesh.  Particularly since uniform manufacturers feature campaigns every year about how this year's jerseys are X% better/drier/faster.

was called a tear-away jersey.  it was designed to tear away so that you could not tackle guys like AC by grabbing the back of their jerseys, which was the part of AC that most defends saw.

You don't see it that often. If you have 4 jerseys torn in total that means the refs were not doing there jobs. They clearly sucked last night and Minny fans believe the same thing but they were at home.
