    Will pre-orders include any potential, uh, "additions" to the front of the uniform?

    There is no jersey sponsor currently signed, or announcement scheduled. All pre-orders placed before any potential announcement will be shipped without a sponsors logo if one is signed/announced. If you purchase a jersey prior to the jersey sponsor being announced and want to add the sponsor logo at a later date you will be able to do so at DCU home games hopefully free of charge.

    Nope, the longsleeve only comes in authentic. Authentics are designed for team needs and then extras are produced for retail. Until we have a player wearing a 2XL you won't see authentics offered in that size.

    they were selling them last year at the stadium weren't they? I mean i could be wrong but i could have sworn that i tried on and almost bought a 2xl longsleeve.
    Is there any chance that long sleeves might come out in a replica version ever?

    I knew we should have picked up Zach Thornton off of waivers :rolleyes:

    Damn, I really like the "Tradition" on the back, but not sure an XL in "Athletic Slim Fit" would fit my Lot-8-built beer belly :(

    Decisions, decisions...........



    Thanks for posting all the details, Nathan!

    There is a chance. Both longsleeve replica & women's replica have been designed but have not gone to production yet.

    I'm totally getting this one with the name "TEVYE" on the back.
    I just don't know what number should go under the name.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey Nathan,
    How come you haven't signed Gomez, you let Veron slip through your fingers, where's the stadium, and what happened to all of my Christmas presents?

    You've had a terrible winter.:)

    Simply the stripes were dropped to create room for a sponsor. Internally we wanted to find a way to keep the stripes, and create room for a sponsor at the same time, but adidas said it had to be one or the other. They would not do both. Personally I didn't like the idea of dropping the stripes at first, but the more I look at the new jersey the more I like it.

    Hey Nathan, how much does the "Athletic Slim Fit" change sizing on the jerseys? If you usually buy, say, a medium replica shirt that's a little on the snug side, should you be going up a full size on the authentic?

    Re: 2008 Jerseys Now Available for Pre-Order

    is there any chance that the stripes are hurting the sponsor search? for instance, any new company looking into becoming a shirt sponsor would find out about the stripe "tradition" and not want to be seen as the company that forced away the stripes. or is it only us internet nuts that care?

    Nathan,

    You working late?:D

    Are you able to share any info on the lettering and numbers for this upcoming season? Will it be team specific or will all the teams share the same style printing?

    Thanks!

    All teams will share the same style, but not color. Every team will use black and white except for New York that will use Red, and Chicago that will use Blue. In terms of size FIFA has guidelines (who knew) that will increase the size of the numbers and decrease the size of the letters. I should be able to post what the font looks like next week.

    It's still taking me time to get used to it. I wish they had switched to Dips-style diagonal stripes 'cause you could some words on top.

    Others have said that there'd be an announcement this week... hopefully later today.

    What? You didn't expect Nathan to break big news like that on a public forum did you? He'd likely be out of a job.
