Do the new US Replica Jerseys (by Nike) have two layers like the jerseys the players used in the World Cup? And are the US, and Nike logos screen printed, or are they patches? Thanks.
sewen? Well, I think they're just one layer but I can't say for sure on the screen printing issue. But if you want that two-layer thing you'll probably have to pony up for an authentic.
When will be able to get those jerseys? It seems like everyone is out of stock, and these were the best jerseys out of any WC the U.S has been involved in by far. Remember 94? *gag*
over the summer while I was at a soccer store, I asked the lady working there why I couldn't find any USA jerseys. She said that Nike had stoped making them...I dont know if this is true and they will release them again, but it really sucks if they wont ever put these back on shelves....
you have to hunt for them on the internet. for example, I think the metrostars website is selling them (and I think you get a free clint mathis autograph). but they're out there, you just have to look hard. also, check out ebay. many of them are there.
www.ussoccerstore.com has them in SMALLs only. www.soccerplus.net has them in all sizes, I believe. You can also have them personalized, with (once again, not sure) the authentic font. Last but not least, no. The replica shirt does not have both layers.
The Replica Jerseys (I am actually wearing a Large Blue right now) are two layers. The under layer is a very comfy layer of soft mesh. The US Soccer shield and the Nike emblem are both patched onto the Jersey. The outer layer is all waterproof with the exception of the breathing mesh areas. Water will literally slide right off the jersey. It's pretty cool. I don't think i could get the outer layer wet by dunking it in a pool.
How do the sizes run for the replicas? I'd like to get it customized, but don't want to ruin the order. I'm 5'9'', 155lbs and am looking for a normal fit - not hip hop baggy, but not Italian Kappa jersey tight. Is a medium the best bet? Thanks, Charles
In case anybody's looking on eBay, at least the ones being sold from guys in Thailand, etc., are fakes. I bought one, swearing up and down it was the real thing, but alas, I was wrong. Definitely ripoffs.
Go for a large. I'm practically the same size (5'10", 165lbs) and every soccer jersey I've bought (Umbros and Nikes) has been a large and has fit me perfectly.
Good idea to avoid anything from Thailand ... movies et al. but I noticed the same thing. Telltale sign was that there was no Nike logo on the front.
Thanks for all the info!! There's a lot of replica jerseys on Ebay made by the official brand for REALLY good prices. I've found US jerseys for around 15-25 dollars.
these jerseys were made bynike especially for the "rainy" weather in korea. so i would assume the usmnt would stop wearing them and either go back to the old jerseys (which are awesome) or get new ones.
I dont think so....Manchester United, Barcelona FC, Inter Milan......and many other European clubs are wearing the same style jersey as all of the Nike sponsored National teams did. The jerseys were made for Humid/Wet weather because they are light and breathable....and while England and much of Europe is wet...it isnt exactly warm during the season......
While I don't know exactly which ones you're looking at, I'd venture a guess that with prices like that, they're probably fakes too. The one I got looks EXACTLY like the real one, down to the embroidered patch and Nike symbol. Even after I got it, I could swear that it was real. It was only after I had it for a few weeks that I started noticing the difference.
E-bay jerseys real thing The Jerseys on e-bay are the real thing. BE CAREFULL THOUGH you have to get the right ones some are cheap rip-offs and dont have the logos. I just got a man-u jersey and Its awesome. It cost me $25 and it has the real numbers. With Beckham Number #7 on the back. It has the Felt letters with the F.A. Premiership logo on it. As for the vodofone logo it is on in the same type stuff. The real stuff. When i got the jersey it had the niki tags on it, saying it was the dri-fit material.
Yeah, I have noticed that sometimes the jersey may look real, but theres no tag on the inside part of the collar. BTW, how much does it usually cost for lettering? Is there a specific place to go? Since the Nike font is only used by them.
Ye Gods The jersey from SoccerPlus arrived with a quickness. My Lord, this jersey is outstanding. The Reyna name and number looks like it was a jersey straight from the World Cup. The white US jersey looks much cooler in person than online (and I've always liked the jersey too.) The large fits me perfectly too, and I already rocked it out last night. I got the replica version as I didn't see the need for the double layers, but it looks and feels like other authentic jerseys I have. Instantly my favorite soccer shirt - SoccerPlus is the best.
