Nike countdown: jersey pricing guide
For those of you who like buying and wearing jerseys to games, I thought I'd make this helpful since there are definite differences between the retail jerseys sold by adidas and Nike.
I've had this buyer's guide set up since last year, but since it's OT season and the countdown clock keeps ticking, I figure I'd share it.
Football
Adidas has 3 types of jerseys: Replica ($65), Premier ($85) and Authentic ($180).
Replica was the cheapest material. Mesh and screen-printed numbers. Premier had sewn-on numbers but still had a pure mesh material, but it also had polyester sleeves.
Authentic was the authentic thing, as evidenced by the price.
Nike has only two types available at the moment for college teams. Replica ($85) and Limited ($135).
Replica ($85)-
Screen-printed numbers, and less detailed.
Limited($135)-
Stitched, tackle twill numbers. A lot more detail to the jersey in terms of its cut.
Nike has authentic jerseys for their NFL teams, but they do not have an authentic model for college teams. If they do, those jerseys would be priced at $295.
Personally, I do not care. The Limited is a much option if you want an authentic jersey IMO.
Basketball
There are two types of model for Nike basketball jerseys, as opposed to the one there was with adidas and their Replica version with screen printed graphics.
adidas replica jerseys were $60.
Your two options of jerseys are-
Replica ($75)-
Screen-printed graphics, just like the adidas Replica model.
Authentic ($120)-
These were actually $135 not that long ago. It appears the price has gone down.
Clearly you can see the difference here. More detailed, the "undercarriage" design on the back is featured and the numbers are stitched, tackle-twill.
Hockey
Just one model here. But the cool thing is that it comes with B1G logo patch like our Hockey jerseys did when we were in the CCHA.
It will run you about $125, just $5 more than the jerseys we had while with adidas.
The countdown to Nike/Jordan rages on.
The shirt hasn't been a student design since like 2008. Had a friend from the MMB whose design was supposedly going to be used, but then Adidas decided they didn't want to use the contest winner and used their own design instead.
The countdown to Nike/Jordan rages on.
No, not really, it's overpriced clothing.
TL;DR
also didn't read because its another dumb wubalubadubduberine Devotee thread
This thread was very informative.
I can easily vote when on my phone.
and I won't spend a nickel on anything connected with Michael Jordan.
However, I'd plunk down the dough for a bottle of 16-year Lagavulin, so to each their own.
This is the whiskey that Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec drank. I had recently a 18 yr glenlivet. It was really good. How is the lagavulin?
By far my favorite single-malt. It's very smoky and peaty, which is not everyone's taste. It's pretty pricey if you buy it locally, so I'd suggest trying some at your favorite watering hole before you pony up the dough for a bottle.
This flavor map might be useful for comparison:

The 18 year Glenlivet is at the opposite end of the map, and if I read the map legend correctly, its distillation doesn't involved the use of peat, which leads to a different flavor character. My hunch is that if you like the Glenlivet, the Lagavulin wouldn't be for you, but the proof is in the tasting.
I also like the 10 year Talisker quite a bit.
Would you spend a penny if it was already sitting on your lawn? All you would have to do is get it off your lawn. Then you could walk off yoru lawn and order it with your penny you took off your lawn.

If you're asking if I would I wear U-M/Jumpman apparel if it was basically free, no I wouldn't. He's a fucking Tar Heel.
I can't wait. I seriously can't wait. I literally can't wait. Some one help me! Please!
I can't help. I seriously can't help. I literally can't help. Someone else help him! Please!
Not everyone from Australia knows eachother. It's a big place. Lot's of people and animals especially.

I live in Manhattan right now.
Kansas is beautiful this time of year.
I don't even want to know what WD is capable of if he was given the chance to do something in order to take a sneak peak at these designs. I'm surprised he didn't get busted breaking into Warde Manuel's office yet to be honest. Maybe he had an Ocean's Eleven level scheme and got away with it.
I'm sure he's broken directly into Nike Headquarters. He doesn't waste time with the little stuff like an ADs office.
Speculatory posts on Michigan jersey pricing? I dig WD, but this might be a little too much WDness for me..
It's not speculatory, though. Every Nike jersey is the same price.
They're higher than adidas, but the quality is also higher.

I'm down with speculating on design. Price is a tad...obssessive for me.
Agree. There's a lot more fun in that.
Anyone know if the team issued underwear will be tagless?
We're a Hanes school now.
Tag-less. Sweet...
Definitely not the same jersey, but some seem close to it.

I'll just wait for them to go on sale. I've never bought a jersey for full price. They always go on sale. Usually can get them for at least 50 percent off.
Very rarely is anything worth full price.
Definitely. I buy all my clothes from clearance or in TJ Maxx-type stores. My wife hates it because she thinks I buy stuff because I get a deal, but it's better than paying full price.
I have an Addidas Number 2 Jersey my brother got me. I had to get a medium to fit me right and I wear all large clothing (6ft, over 200 lbs). Do all football jerseys run big?
I rarely wear it though. I used to wear it to the 1 or 2 games/ year, but since some of those would be maize outs, even then I'd lose out on chance to wear it.
And I find it weird that so many people here don't find it weird/ creapy that many follow high scool recruiting so close, with paid subscribtions, yet can't imagine a grown up wearing a jersey to a football game. I also find it weird when people say it's a huge waste of money and should be spent on a 401K or groceries? Really?
All jerseys are bigger than "normal" clothing. Most men in this country also decide to wear a jersey that is two times too large. I'm six feet tall and weigh around 190 pounds. I also wear medium clothing, jerseys included. I'd like to get small jerseys, but have never seen them when looking for one. I just hate oversized clothing. Why people prefer to wear clothing that doesn't fir their bodies is beyond my comprehension.
Your cardigan game is strong.

WD with uniform info? That's weird.
WD if your getting rid of your old your old jerseys can you knit me a jersey quilt I can wrap myself in at night while I watch Harbaugh videos?
