MDen selling Woodson & Howard jerseys with nameplates; first time ever
MDen is breaking their policy of no names on the back of jerseys.
They now are selling Charles Woodson and Desmond Howard jerseys with the nameplates.

I believe he NCAA's days are numbered. Maybe some day we'll see a jersey with the QB's name on the back while he is in college.
Nike made a line of legends jerseys back in the day like, 2002 and I think Howard was one of them. I bought a Harrington one from Oregon - tremendous waste of money.
Wow 140.00 for the Glen Rice Jersey, I love Glen but damn that is ridiculous.
These are awesome as pieces of nostalgia, but count me in the camp that they look a bit cheap for $160. I mean, 1997 wasn't that long ago. The pictures might not be doing them justice, but that Woodson jersey in particular looks too much like a knock-off than I'd like.
Still, pretty awesome that you can get "official"-ish jerseys for the greats. Wonder who will be in the next batch? Brady? Long? Hart?
I hope Chuck and Des get their percentage.
Neat. I'd love either jersey. But I'd also like a Anthony Carter #1 jersey.
I had the absolute worst luck buying football jerseys for awhile. Keep in mind, at the time I wanted to have the exact jersey the team was wearing.
Ones off the top of my head-
- Bought a white #1 screen printed Nike (the ones with the Ms on the sleeves) in 2004 and they switch to the "bib" road jerseys the following year
- Bought an authentic #86 Home Jersey in June 2008 and I find out the next day they are switching to adidas the upcoming year. That press release came out way before June 2008 but I guess I missed it as shocking as that is.
- Bought an authentic, $180 #2 "elephant tusk" road jersey in winter 2008 which was supossed to be for McGuffie and then he transfers shortly after. Good thing Vincent Smith came in. Retired it as a Vincent Smith jersey when they made the switch recently and de-tusked the road jerseys.
The streak was broken in 2010 when I bought an authentic home jersey, #2 for only $30 (I know a guy).
Still haven't got around to buying a current road jersey because they have those annoying little block Ms above where the nameplate is supossed to be. I guess they produced those designs back in 2011 when Michigan was supossed to wear the TechFits but then that debacle in the game at Northwestern happened.
I refuse to buy a current jersey until they remove the nameplate block Ms and they add the B1G logo patch. I've been pestering Doug at MDen about getting the patches on there or at the very least sell patches and I can sew it onto my current home #2 jersey.
I pre ordered these 2 from MDEN when Tiedman & Formby posted on their facebook that they were making them. MDEN just emailed me a couple hours ago that they would be shipping so when I receive them I will take some pics and let you guys know if they are worthy of the price tag or not. At the very least I will pair both of them with my Packers jerseys from both and frame them.
Is there any connection between this and the O'Bannon suit? Are they getting a cut of the proceeds?
You mean to tell me that this whole time, those #2 jerseys were really for Charles Woodson?? They told me it was just an arbitrary #2 and it was a coincidence. We've been had!
