Nike Replica Jerseys?

[Overcashed]

Is "anyone in the know" aware of Nike replica jerseys becoming available again at some point? I know we had the black ones in the book store last year and had the white bodied/black sleeve version at one point.

I'd like to grab a fresh one this year but they're nowhere to be found and those Coliseum brand jersey they have for sale on Fanatics / App's bookstore are pretty terrible IMO.

Edit: Supposedly the Boone Mall sports store Sports Fanatic may have some still, but no answer for online availability.

Edit 2: Dick's has a Black #1 online: https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/ni ... stblkgmapp

I've also wondered about this. I'm not a jersey wearing guy myself, though I do have a pretty nice collection of framed game-worns, but I wonder why we do not do a better job capitalizing on the jersey market. You're definitely right about the Colisseum knockoffs at the bookstore this year - they're rough! My only assumption is that the upfront cost for Nike jersey's (authentic or replica) is simply too high, or the purchase quantity required is too high, for the bookstore, Fanatics in the Boone mall, any of the King Street shops, etc., to take the risk. So, it seems like one of those things that every few years they'll give it a go, place an order, and see what happens...but end up going back to only selling a lower quality product for a few years in between.

That having been said, I'm kind of surprised that one or two of the big online retailers, like Fanatics or FansEdge, don't have the resources to make actual Nike authentics, or at least replica, jerseys available. I can't help but figure that, over time, the jerseys would move, especially since our current main jersey is relatively unchanged for the better part of a decade now - it's not like we're Oregon or anything. Not to mention, we do have a bit of a "national" brand for a a G5 and our fans aren't all local as to be able to stroll up to Boone to purchase good quality gear, so online would be the destination.

I'm fine with the bookstore, King St. stores, etc., providing the lower quality substitutes, as I know lots of folks certainly don't care enough in the differences to pay the relatively substantial jump in price, but I know many do care and the choices should be there for them to make. My wife actually likes wearing a jersey to a game every once in a while, or the "spirit days" at the elementary school where she teaches, and has wondered numerous times why no Nike female-cut jerseys are available at market. Of course, if we can't keep a steady year-in and year-out supply of Men's Nike jersey's available then the ladies have no hope.

The store in the Boone Mall usually has a few of both colors. Sizing is usually limited, but I would check there.

Does the football team sell the game worn jersey's once a year via auction? My last question is if anyone has any recommendations on where to buy a frame for the jerseys.

[Apptrain]

I wouldn’t buy a NIKE jersey , or anything else NIKE for that matter.

lol ok bro

Anyway, if someone has a legitimate answer to the question, please let me know.

https://appstatesports.com/auctions/ - There are a few listed on here currently. I think more start to pop up later in the season.

Dick's has #1 jerseys online. No other numbers. During the championship run, stores would have 3-4 different uniforms at least. Armanti, K-Rich, Corey Lynch, DJ Smith, Brian Quick.

Last year you could only get #12s. This year, apparently only #1. Pretty weak.

There are some sites offering knock-offs, should you choose to do that. However it would be supporting trademark infringement to do so. (Although buying Nike is arguably endorsing child labor so, pick your poison )

You can always try Ali Express. I just scooped one from Dick’s last night, so no feedback on the fit/quality yet.

Thanks for the link, I tried to google around the last few days and couldn't find anything outside of the Fanatics #18 from last year that was out of stock.

On another note, the sale Dick's is doing right now applies to these jerseys taking it down to $80 and eBates has 4.5% cash back.

[NO.2]

I really wanted one last year but couldn't bring myself to by an 18 due to a certain podcast's obsession with Mr. Absher

I have John Law's Camellia Bowl jersey, but those things are un-wearable for a NARP without shoulder pads.

[AppStateTailgate]

I ordered one from Dick’s. It came with free shipping and they were having a sale so $80 out the door. It’s shipping from Hickory. I don’t know if that means that there’s a Dick’s in Hickory where they have a bunch of these. If you want to try one on in person you could investigate that route.

Nike definitely has a checkered past in regards to the whole child labor/sweatshop scandal of the early 2000's, and they've had some hiccups along the way in fixing things overseas, but it seems they've done a pretty good job putting that aspect of things in their past. I'd be just as fine if we were an Adidas or UA-branded school, but I've had no complaints whatsoever about the quality of any of my ASU Nike gear...and I've got enough of it to fill a good 5ft. corner of a closet. Heck, switching my closet over to another brand at this point is almost reason enough to hope we stick with Nike for a good long time...

I feel like their issues with the brand probably don't stem from any of their child labor practices in the past...

On another note, I got the #1 jersey in yesterday. Fits TTS, if anything a little slimmer and more T-shirt like than any of my Nike Panthers jerseys in the same size. Screen print quality is good and I'm overall happy with my $80 purchase.

My objection has to do with the Kapernick (sp) affiliation.

I’m not a fan either, but make no mistake, Nike is not in the social justice business, they are in the “making money” business. They just made a fortune on the “social justice” warrior segment by parading out Kaep (who has some questionable decision making). They’ll squeeze this thing dry and move on to the next “thing” once their done.

Why am I not surprised....

That whole issue didn't even cross my mind. The Kap deal and any reasons for/against that whole situation is about the last thing that would keep me from either buying or not buying a product, but to each his own.

My main objection is also due to their ties to CK. I realize Nike couldn’t give a crap if they alienate the older generations because we aren’t their target customers. But it makes me feel better not to support them and I can easily find alternatives.
