Nba All Star Uniforms 2012

2012-02-02T20:27:00.004-05:00

Adidas has unveiled the NBA All Star uniforms for 2012. Nothing earth shattering on the visual end. They look much the same as they have for the past several years.

On the technology end of things of course they are hailed as moving the needle when it comes to weight, movement, yada, yada, yada.....

You can read all the details here at Sole Collector.

If you are looking to buy it the Nba Store has some replicas available. Not even a swingman version? No authentics? Lame release on this one Adi ....... Lame.

Nike Hyper Elite Platinum Basketball Uniforms Part II

Nike Hyper Elite Platinum Basketball Uniforms

2012-01-25T15:45:00.002-05:00

NIKE, Inc. - Performance Meets Sustainability In Nike Hyper Elite Platinum Basketball Uniforms

Today NIKE rolled out some new unis that a handful of select squads will wear this year. Every year NIKE touts these as the most advanced basketball uniforms in the history of the game. Quite a lofty bar to set every year but I guess when no one is really measuring the results you can claim whatever you want.

I'm not bashing NIKE I just find it quite amusing. This year they have gone with the gray palette that is rampant on the hardwood this year ... excuse me "Platinum" in this case. As a fan of gray uniforms these are on point for me. Thumbs up!!!

No word yet on retail release of any products but I will be on that when it happens. I'm thinking the UNC shorts will be mine if they release.

How about you ... you feelin' these new looks?

Adidas Soul Swingman Jerseys

2012-01-17T18:42:00.002-05:00

Surfing the web a few minutes ago and came across some Adidas Soul Swingman NBA jerseys. I am familiar with these jerseys and have checked them out in person on several occasions years ago. Well after digging a little deeper on Dicks Sporting Goods site I came across a very nice selection of players and teams including this Lakers gem. Now I've seen Mitchell and Ness do the blue version of this jersey in the past but never this sparkling white number ...... NICE!!!!!

I'd give this the thumbs up .. I'd buy this stamp of approval. How about you?

Michael Jordan Mitchell and Ness Jerseys

2012-01-15T21:02:00.003-05:00

So the NBA season has started and for a while it seemed like the web was very slow to catch up with new merchandise for the season .. I would imagine it was lockout related. Well things are heating up and the NBA Store is adding new items including Michael Jordan throwback jerseys from Mitchell and Ness. Several different options available on the site including the one pictures with the All Star patch on the breast ... very nice.

Nike True Colors Destroyer Jacket

2012-01-14T16:45:00.004-05:00

From the Nike Sportswear site ....

"Back in 2006, Nike designers began a mission to re-craft iconic sports apparel in the most technical materials they could find. The ubiquitous American varsity jacket was an obvious choice for the experiment that would become Nike Sportswear. Raiding the All Conditions Gear (ACG) innovation cache, they found fabrics, laminates, and bonding methods that could brave nasty weather but still look fresh.

The first Nike letterman's jacket was for an imaginary team called the Dunk High Destroyers, and limited numbers were produced. The next version got even more technical, but the Destroyer name stuck."

Well Nike has now started doing some NCAA versions of the Destroyer jacket and they look quite nice (Duke sample pictured). Here's the problem ... you can't buy it from Nike.com. I think that your best bet is to call the Nike Sportswear store in NYC and see if they have the product and ask if they will take a phone order and ship to you.

Nike Sportswear - 21 Mercer St NY (212) 226-5433.

Check out the Nike sportswear site to see what teams they have created .... Duke, Kentucky, UCONN, Arizona.

Nike Twill NCAA Basketball Jerseys - On Sale

2012-01-13T16:25:00.003-05:00

Nike.com is running a pretty nice sale right now on their twill NCAA basketball jerseys. $15 off the retail price is not bad. These jerseys are very high quality and worth the price.

NCAA Throwback Football Jerseys

2012-01-13T15:47:00.006-05:00

Hey everyone. Well it looks like I have fallen asleep at the wheel in terms of keeping people abreast of great new athletic apparel hitting the marketplace. I vow to keep my focus in 2012 and bring you some great stuff.

Back in 2010 I discovered a terrific new brand that was making some great quality NCAA throwback football jerseys. The name of the brand is Tiedman & Formby Vintage Athletic Co. I purchased a Univ of Colorado jersey while strolling through a shop in Boulder and have been hooked ever since.

What got me was their use of durene fabric .... love it. So retro. So vintage. Just fantastic items to wear as a fan of throwback apparel.

You can see what they have to offer as they recently just launched their online store.

I am anxiously awaiting my new LSU throwback even though the Tigers lost the big game.

Keep up the great work T&F.

Great site for Reebok NHL Jerseys

2011-01-18T20:34:00.003-05:00

I have used this site a few times and I think they are THE BEST for Reebok NHL Jerseys. The site is called Sports K. Compare prices to NHL.com or Ice Jerseys and you will save about $25 for a Premier jersey without any customization. If you go for a customized premier jersey you will still save about $10 and you will get authentic twill names and numbers not the garbage plastic version that Reebok puts out.

The custom work is terrific and you can add the captains C or alternate A for a real authentic look. The delivery time is excellent as well.

I'll be getting this nifty Canucks jersey very soon!!!!

Oregon Ducks BCS Championship Jersey ALTERNATE

2010-12-19T21:00:00.003-05:00

What's up everyone? I have not updated this blog in quite some time but I'm BAAAACKK!!!

Check out this replica of the jersey that Oregon WOULD HAVE WORN had they been chosen as the HOME team in Glendale for the BCS Championship. Very cool Anthracite gray color. For sale at Football Fanatics. I love this site because their service and shipping are top notch.

You won't see this on the field unfortunately since Oregon will be the AWAY squad and will be wearing some new all white Pro Combat uniforms from Nike. The replica of the white version is also available on Football Fanatics so check it out.

LETS GO DUCKS!!!! BEAT AUBURN.

New Army and Navy Football Jerseys from Nike

2008-12-16T14:26:00.004-05:00

If you happened to catch the annual Army / Navy football tussle a few weeks ago you noticed some eye catching new jerseys designed for both squads by the folks at Nike. Dubbed the "Enforcer" jerseys these new garments are said to the next wave of football jerseys.

From Businesswire.com .... "The Nike “Enforcer” uniforms designed for the Army and Navy squads are lightweight, breathable and more form-fitting, enabling superior field performance. The uniforms provide greater moisture management and reduction of grab points".

Replicas of the jerseys can be found at several locations online including Nike.com.

New Nike Oregon Football Jersey with Wings

2008-11-18T08:21:00.003-05:00

Well, Nike has taken football uniform design to another level with their latest creation for the University of Oregon .... Winged jerseys. That's right these new uniforms were worn last weekend vs the University of Arizona as part of the Lights Out festivities at Autzen Stadium.

The jerseys and apparel seem to have sold very well in the stadium and campus shops as it was next to impossible to find one in the stores on Sunday night as I know from calling all over the campus and surrounding areas.

My efforts did lead me to stumble on E Oregon Sports however where I as able to secure my very own jersey. I'm not sure if I love the design or whether I just had to have this jersey because it is so different from anything I have ever seen on the gridiron.

Love em' or hate em' Nike is never afraid to push the envelope .... and that is something that I admire.

Mitchell and Ness NHL Throwback Tees

2008-11-11T16:33:00.002-05:00

Just came across these new NHL throwback tees from Mitchell and Ness on Distant Replays. They look really good and it's nice to see M&N doing some tees beyond their branded stuff and a little more basic than what we have seen lately in the licensed line. Pricing is comparable to Retro Sport so you'll pay a little more but their quality has always been excellent.

2008-03-11T14:39:00.002-04:00

Just stumbled upon this gem of a T Shirt from Majestic Athletic. Bernard King was a scoring machine in the NBA in the 1980's and would have gone down as one of the greatest small forwards of all time were it not for some terrible injuries.

Check out 80'stees.com for this Bernard tee and some other NBA legends.

Marquette Basketball Jersey by Converse

2008-03-03T14:42:00.002-05:00

For those that have not noticed Marquette is wearing new jerseys on the hardwood this year and the jerseys are made by Converse. Marquette is the only NCAA school wearing Converse uniforms. To get yours visit the Marquette Spirit Shop.

Marquette switched their uniform allegiance from Nike due to its relationship with former player and Converse endorser Dwayne Wade. Converse is owned by Nike by the way so it was not really that dramatic a switch.

Nike NCAA Twill Jerseys - New Styles on Eastbay

2008-02-27T12:12:00.003-05:00

Eastbay has loaded up some new styles of the Nike NCAA twill jerseys. The Nike designers must have been paying homage to AC/DC with these "Back in Black" versions of the Oregon uni. This uni has taken a lot of heat in the press and on the blogs this week - but I have to admit ... I love it. So much so I ordered one for myself.

I'm not sure it's the style I like so much or the fact that people are saying it's one of the all time worst uniforms they've seen. I had to have one as a collector's item if people feel that strongly.

NBA Retro Tees from Adidas

2008-02-21T11:28:00.002-05:00

The NBA All Star game approaches this month and Adidas has released the swingman replica jerseys at Eastbay and other on line vendors.

Very interesting look this year with the mismatched front and back jersey colors along with some very New Orleans looking detailing to highlight the event's home in the Big Easy this year.

I recently purchased a great zip hooded sweatshirt at the Villanova Bookstore on campus and it is made by a company called League. After some research on the web I found some styles available at The Sports Authority. Not a bad price either for a vintage style garment very comparable to Retro Sport.
