I'm not part of the jersey wearing culture so forgive me for asking.I have a Reebok authentic from 2007 and one of the new Nike authentics. I'm not sure "fan authentic" is the same as "player authentic", but my Nike jersey is huge. lol. Wider. Longer. Longer sleeves. And the color is kind of dull. I much prefer the Reebok.

What I don't understand is why shell out the big bucks for another jersey by another brand if you already have one.
Why this need to upgrade when you already got the colors and it's probably not worn out?
Is it really that important to keep up with the latest trend even if the former trend looks the same?
I like saving $ so I'm really naive why there is this need to get the most or latest NFL/team merch.
I guess it's a "Too each their own" type of thing and my thing is two Packers shirts from a thrift store and another as a gift. Each one is different in it's own way.

OK so my questions about this need to buy doesn't exactly apply to your situation.They were both Christmas gifts (my parents, brother, wife, and mother-in-law chipped in to pay) The first was personalized with my last name and my old number. Second was a Charles Woodson, my all-time favorite football player. It's not about making sure I got a Nike one. It's just that when the second one was purchased, the brand happened to be Nike.
They knew I had wanted the jersey and got it for me. It was nice to know that they wanted to get me something that I wanted, but didn't need. I have great memories to go along with them.
Maybe they should kick around a ball like this and then see if they complain about the newest ones?Not sure if anyone here follows soccer, but similar complaints about the ball that's selected for the World Cup crop up every four years.
I felt like Nike killed something good when they took over and cut the sleeve stripes down years ago. When I drove through Ripon from GB, I was a bit upset that the jerseys were no longer made near there.
I don't believe they have ever been made in ripon. They are made by a company called ripon athletics that's located in Berlin, wi.
I thought something like that when I saw the sign for Berlin. Still it was the thought that at one time the jerseys were made in Wisconsin, and not overseas by people who probably don't know what they are making.
