Got an away Dempsey Jersey!!! It says it was shipped already but it seems a little early to be shipped, I dunno.
Check the tracking number in UPS. It'll probably just say "billing info received," which means OB have put your order into their system so the shipping label is on deck and ready to go once the jerseys are all set.
I spoke to them yesterday (was checking on my delayed new MLS jersey) and they indicated that while the MLS ones are late, it looks like the US ones will be shipping out on time.
I ordered a home Onyewu from USSF , cant wait til it gets here . Gonna get some more DTOM stuff before leaving for Germany ! Less than three months to go ......
Well it sounds like they better get with the program and offer a customized US MNT jersey for something less than $70 or Unyunbag is going to get all the bizness... Let's hear it for free market capitalism! USMNT Customized jersey price war!! Bring it on!!!
Just ordered ours from the OB: White, 6, Cherundolo for my wife Blue, 14, Olsen for me (yeah, he probably won't make the final squad, but he's my favorite)
OB has better shipping rates, too. The USSF official store is the worst, though--their shipping rates bear no relation to what it actually costs to ship items, and because of this, I won't order from them unless it's something that absolutely nobody else stocks. I got three shirts in the OB order, and if I'd bought that same list through the US Soccer store, it would've been an extra eighty bucks for customization and shipping. Honestly, I'd have held off buying both a home and away kit, figuring one would be plenty for now, except for the OB deal--the more I thought about it the more I realized hey, buy it later and pay $30 for aftermarket customization and round trip shipping. I'd have to get my jersey on some crazy discount rate (like I did my 2004 US kit; thanks, Eastbay 40% off sale!) to justify that. The OB deal was too good to pass up if you knew you'd eventually want both shirts. I also notice the BigSoccer store warns that US jerseys are expected to ship in mid-June, which, well, fat lot of good that would do those of us who are Germany bound that month.
Just ordered my Convey away jersey from OB! Made it before the $1 personalization offer ends. Yippee! I've got Dempsey's home jersey ordered thru US Soccer (wish I'd known about OB prior to this). It's a $35 savings! Got 'em both, so I'm happy! Thanks guys!
Just ordered McBride -home, Cherundolo -away, and small McBride -away for the gf. The special was supposed to be before 1 April, but it looks like it went through just fine (unless they're pulling an April fools joke).
Anybody know when these ship? I could have sworn I saw some guy in the crowd at DCU-Red Bulls wearing one, although with the quality of the video feed I couldn't be decisive. For the record, Onywewu 22. I'll be pissed if Bocanegra gets hurt and Gooch reverts to 4, which he wears when Boca isn't in!
holy crap , this is exactly what i was about to post . Its April 2nd now , so they should be shipping very soon , and i cant wait . I also saw that guy in the crowd for the RBNY -DCU game , maybe it was fake ? I also got a Gooch home .
Might be, but I haven't checked the local Niketown--it's also entirely possible the shirts are showing up in actual stores. I was gonna go over to Niketown this week anyway to see if they've finally got that damn hoodie in stock, so...
I got the away strip with my own name on the back. A guy's gotta have a dream! BTW - I ordered a Red Bulls home kit, total impulse buy.
THe men's team threw some of the new white ones into the crowd during the "Pep rally" at Ramstien AB in Germany before the US/Poland match, maybe he was one of the lucky receipients?
Does it come up as actually shipped, or just "billing information received" when you put the tracking number into UPS's online trackers? Because there's a note buried on the OB's site forums that mentions Nike's got a delay in shipping these and they should be processed end of this week. As of now my order still comes up as "billing info received," which just means they've got a shipping label waiting to be slapped on a box when the product is in stock and ready for shipment. Saw the jerseys today at Niketown, can't wait for mine to arrive.
The supporters' group La Norte had some jerseys made up this year that look very similar to the US home shirt. I'd say there's a good chance that this is what you saw.
I'll echo the shipping comment about US Soccer Store - I never bought the "Our Way" DVD because the slowest shipping option was $13! For a DVD! I almost blew the OB offer, despite visiting the web site about every third day in March. Couldn't decide on whose name and number to add, which has never been important to me - but this design cires out for it. I finally settled on Eddie Pope #23. Guess that makes one of us!
