Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

The $30 AliExpress jersey hit the mailbox this morning. Missing the 7 Buckeye leaves on the collar, the 2015 Playoff patch (I don't think the $150 Nike version had the patch either, though) and a couple of snags but overall, really not bad. I'm pretty finicky with jerseys - I may save this one to get signed and framed and I will be ordering some others from different vendors. I'll keep track and post my results here in case anyone else is wanting to order some.

I have searched high and low for custom jerseys with the 90's style - while these aren't the 90's style (white # on shoulder instead of the black) - they're close enough to keep me happy. Especially for the price.

Direct Link to this specific vendor:

(Not a huge fan of the material on the sleeves, would like to see the Nike one's to compare)

Those tags have to be counterfeit. You can't have an officially licensed Bosa jersey yet.

The whole thing is counterfeit, thus the $30 price tag - and my review/photos for anyone interested but unsure of quality. Good way to get a jersey on a budget, but not up to snuff with the *real* Nike ones.

$30: Bosa, Cardale, Barrett available
$40: Whatever name and number you want

EDIT: On previous pages, pretty sure when I posted this it's clear they are a KNOCK-OFF so for anyone looking to buy these - to be clear - THESE ARE A KNOCK-OFF and the Swoosh, Tags, etc. are blacked out of the pictures but ARE on the jersey.

Keep in mind, the Diamond Quest jerseys that Nike released do not have the 7 Buckeye leaves on the collar. Mine does not have the 2015 patch, either, because I bought it before the Sugar Bowl.

AliExpress is good stuff.

I wasn't sure BP's policy on that short of thing, so I sent @Bleed S & G an inbox message about my experiences. If anyone ever needs another set of reviews/pictures/recommendations, just let me know.

Plus, I don't feel bad paying these vendors directly (at their set prices) as opposed to Nike who marks their products up 500% to cover their massive marketing costs (oh and probably some jacuzzi's or some shit at their headquarters). There are some quality pieces there. Glad to hear the Buckeye jerseys have made their way to the site. I'm in.

I ordered one of the "platinum" alternate JT Barrett jerseys two weeks ago. Based on how these turn out (I will post pics and a review when I receive them) I will more than likely order more.

From the Wall Street Journal:

If the Ducks Lose, Blame the Pants

The Oregon Ducks are technically the home team in Monday’s college-football championship game against Ohio State, so they had first pick of uniforms—meaning the entirety of the most elaborate wardrobe in sports was available. But Oregon, which has long doubled as a Nike petri dish, stunned the sport when it chose the most boring uniforms imaginable for the game: a muted combination of silver and white.

They chose poorly.

For all its myriad costume changes, Oregon fares best when it plays in green and yellow—the school’s two main colors that will be completely absent on Monday. To determine this, the Count looked at every Ducks uniform since the start of the 2009 season and assessed how color schemes correlated to on-field success. We had to simplify things a bit, so we grouped everything into five colors—green, yellow, white, black and gray/silver—and disregarded differences in shade and pattern. The results suggest Oregon’s Oakland Raiders-inspired outfit for Monday was a grave tactical error.

The biggest mistake is the pants. Green pants would have all but guaranteed the school’s first national title. The Ducks are a perfect 17-0 since 2009 in green pants, including two bowl victories and the New Year’s Day semifinal win over Florida State. Gray pants, the dubious choice for Monday, are cursed [15-4 record]. Oregon wore gray or silver pants when they lost to Auburn in the 2010-season title game, when they got beat by LSU in the 2011 opener and when Stanford ruined their perfect season in 2012.

* * *

Oregon’s white jersey also has a subpar record of 28-5, partially because it is often worn on the road. It is actually a better choice than black (8-3), but Oregon should have gambled on yellow (7-0 in a small sample) or just kept it simple with a green jersey. Since 2009, green has been virtually unbeatable: 26-1 since 2009.

Then again, that one loss in a green jersey is notable: It came to Ohio State in the 2010 Rose Bowl.

WSJ was right on with this prediction.
