OT - Peppers Jersey
I've been looking around for a Peppers jersey, because it seems like the most comfortable apparel in which to watch us punch in faces next month. I just can't seem to find any legit vendors online from which to buy one. Where's the best place (in town or online) to get said jersey, and are there any Nike versions out yet?

Were there any sacks or interceptions in that video?

Nike isn't selling that number, so you'd have to go the MDen custom route, sans name, right? Someone posted a couple weeks back their wait time is something like a couple months right now. So... Might have to wait.

My son was obsessed with walking around with a Michigan jersey that said BUTT on it so I tried to order through MDen. I was able to get the 88 jersey but had to bring it to a local place to have the name put on it.

...will give you a good price.
August 15th, 2016 at 12:51 PM ^
Oh, cool. Let me get my pitchfork.
August 15th, 2016 at 12:46 PM ^
I think we all overwhelmingly agreed last week that the best thing to do is go to China and look.

You can't buy the name/number combination because of NCAA rules

That's not entirely true. Many teams aren't selling the numbers of popular players so people can't claim the school is profiting off of their likeness. It's fear brought about by the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit(s).
At least that was my takeaway on it.

I got a game worn Jersey from the hockey team last year. Before I picked it up, I got a letter from the athletic department that per NCAA rules, they would have to remove the name tape.

If you go to the custom jersey area of the mden website, it states they can't sell the name/number combination because of NCAA rules in big red letters

so far the replies have been very tame. I was expecting a slaughter when I saw the post
August 15th, 2016 at 12:58 PM ^
Be nice, I've never started a thread before!
Nevertheless, I figured I'd get negged to oblivion. But I can't be the only fan that wants one.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:01 PM ^
Don't worry, I kicked off the neg party.
Also, I want a Peppers jersey, too. Not just the number five. I want the number, name, stitched characters, and Jumpman logo.
August 15th, 2016 at 3:21 PM ^
Geez, you're not demanding. I'm assuming you expect Jabrill inside it?
August 15th, 2016 at 1:09 PM ^
but this has been covered quite a bit the past few weeks.
Also the random peppers highlight post although is awesome because its peppers just seems like an awkward self reply!
August 15th, 2016 at 3:34 PM ^
Yeah I just couldn't get the embed to work. And I do think you were being nice for the record.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
I offered you a jersey.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
If you knew you were going to get nedded, seemingly relentlessly, then why even post it?
August 15th, 2016 at 2:00 PM ^
So are you starting a thread just to start a thread or are you starting a thread because you have something interesting to contribute?
August 15th, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
Big fisherman are ya?
August 15th, 2016 at 2:06 PM ^
Is that a fishing jersey? Why is that a thing?
August 15th, 2016 at 1:03 PM ^
I still have a #2 Sam McGuffie jersey on hand if you feel like doing some flips after Michigan victories this year.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
These guys will do it. Good fakes. Here's an Adidias. Sure they will do Nike
August 15th, 2016 at 1:13 PM ^
Check fanatics.com or similar site. Order the custom jersey where you get to pick your own number. This really isn't that hard to figure out.

Agreed.
Santa Claus went to Fanatics.com last year and got my son a personalized Name/Number M jersey ...its Adidas of course, but that was last year..

Bingo! for the kids anyways ....
August 15th, 2016 at 10:55 PM ^
But the characters aren't stitched on..........
August 15th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
is Oakland still in play?
August 15th, 2016 at 2:38 PM ^
For Peppers? Maybe after this year but they'll need a top draft choice.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:24 PM ^
You'd have to go the custom route. I don't MDEN will actually do a #5 with Peppers on the back, but you might be able to get a custom #5 with no name on the back and then have the name sewn on yourself.
I picked up a #23 MBB jersey last year and had the last name sewn on myself.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:38 PM ^
Lots of smaller vendors will stitch a name on a jersey for you. Just have to make sure it "looks" right.
August 15th, 2016 at 2:41 PM ^
PEEPERS just won't cut it.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:32 PM ^
double post

get a nice sweater or polo.
Nothing gives douche chills like a grown man wearing a kid's jersey and name on his back. Might as well hand over your wife too.

Just a heads up (as I know most are unaware) but there will not be a Nike version... Jordan brand (nike child company) is making all of the football apparel/jerseys.

"child company"
Phrasing

There's a shop (or at least used to be) around the corner from the Nickels arcade that used to make all of the nameplates for football and hockey. It's possible you can get them to sell you a Peppers one and sew it yourself onto a #5 jersey.
August 15th, 2016 at 2:24 PM ^
That hockey store has been gone for about five years now, probably longer. At the end, they weren't the ones making nameplates. It was a company out-of-state--if you asked the right people, the hockey folks would direct you to them if you really wanted a customized jersey. Not sure what the situation is now.
August 15th, 2016 at 1:51 PM ^
I'm sure he'll send you a used one
August 15th, 2016 at 3:53 PM ^
If you are really concerned about getting the name exactly right, could you maybe team up with someone to get this done? One person orders a PEPPERS 88 jersey, the other a BUTT 5 jersey, and then find a good tailor who can switch the name plates? (If they are, in fact, name plates. My eyes are poor but I know a lot of jerseys seem to be done this way.)
August 15th, 2016 at 3:56 PM ^
You can get one at cheapjerseys.xyz -- but it is adidas -- they haven't updated to Jordan yet. Yes, I know--it's a counterfeit site --but, believe me -- I'm as picky as anyone, and these jerseys are legit. My friends and I swear by them for NFL, NHL, and MLB. They have all tags attached, and the material feels real.
August 15th, 2016 at 4:00 PM ^
And it appears it is down today -- they change the domain a lot, so will have to update.
August 15th, 2016 at 5:25 PM ^
Why is this OT? It's about a Michigan football player's jersey, no?
August 15th, 2016 at 5:51 PM ^
follow up with the guy wanting to get one from China and put in an order together
