I don’t like that the jerseys in general at least year seem like a giant ripoff. When we fist swapped to the style we have i remember it was expensive but so damn worth it. A blue Nike Elite 12 fan Jersey. Every stitched, great thick material. My ex wife the c word she is toss it away during our divorce.. now? I can’t find it anywhere. Not even on Nikes site andnwose? It’s like they’re all labeled something to intentionally cause confusion so I don’t even know what to get that would the same now a days.nit annoys the hell out of me..I just want another damn one like it. I have a SB patch waiting to put on it dang it. Does anyone know what the comparable would be called?
Example: on field? Game day? “Limited”?


Admittedly I haven’t shopped for a Jersey in several years.

Am I understanding you?

There is no longer 3 distinct levels of quality.
Used to be….

1) GameDay
2) Limited
3) Elite

With Elite being the best quality/most expensive

There is 'Game' and 'Vapor F.U.S.E. Limited'. Neither is stitched. The Rivalries jersey is stitched. I have a Rivalries and a Vapor, and they are both exactly alike except for stitching on the Rivalries.

Sam Darnold was wearing the following jersey at pre Super Bowl interviews. Notice it has longer sleeves than the game jersey and numbers are stitched - it doesn't have the long thin grey parts (where the Super Bowl patch is sewn) like the Vapor F.U.S.E. jerseys sold in the Pro Store. I guess this is the players non-game official jersey. I also noticed that the players' and coaches' Super Bowl Sideline hats had different patches from the ones sold on the internet.

...and there is still an 'Elite' jersey, with sewn numbers, but the Seahawks aren't currently offering it.

From the NFL Pro Shop you can see a lot of teams offering it: https://www.nflshop.com/?query=elite jerseys&_ref=p-TLP:m-SEARCH
Sadly they havent offered it all year except the rivalries (which i did get) because me personally if im spending good money on a jersey i want it as close to the real thing as it gets (minus the elastic sleeve cuffs.) Thats where imo baseball beats NFL, most the jerserys are reasonably priced and accessible regardless of who and what type or how authentic do you want.

and this is terrible that he's wearing. The collar is isnt even right. Seriously idk if its NIke, the league, or Fanatics but ill say this before fanatics somehow took a monopoly on jersery sales, theses issues werent a thing and like @pmedic920 said it was basically 3 different types thats it. Now you have some that have all three in the name to draw confusion when its sometimes worst quality than the one 50$ cheaper.

I’m beginning to wonder if the Seahawks are holding back in anticipation of a uniform change (not wanting a lot of stock they can’t sell because everyone wants the NEW one)

Typically I wouldn’t “wonder” but….

….the team is “for sale”.

I will say… what Darnold is wearing in that picture…. I’ve honestly seen and seen currently on eBay Chinese knockoffs that are better quality

Best I can tell, based on the collar it's the 'Game' version (lowest level), but with stitched numbers and all the correct patches. Probably something NIKE threw together so the players wouldn't have to wear their actual jerseys while doing press conferences.

I believe Nike sells men's and women's NFL jersey "fashion shirts. Darnold media day "jersey."

That's why I just went on fleabay and bought a B stock SB 48 hat, the gray one I loved so much i got 2 back in the day
The new logo and the rest of the colors don't look good together at all
I feel ripped but my wallet is happier and th old new merch is really cheap
Kinda sucks though so we're just going to have to win again to set it right

Regarding that 'Elite' jersey link I posted, a Navy also showed up, and both are now sold. So fans are grabbing them at $384.99, which seems insane.

I mean.. I’d rather have a royal 12 elite so I can put my SB patch on it. At this rate the SB60 patch is gunna end as a shelf ornament than proudly be displayed on a 12 Fan Royal Elite.


I did fine one almost brand new on eBay, right size exactly like OG Nike Elite, but guess what? Our wonderful USPS system is so f’d up that it’s lost now. Been a month since I’ve ordered it that it’s been lost. Called my local USPS office they’ve put in numerous requests with the sorting facilities it’s been through, they can’t find it. So I’m SoL there.
Ultimately it has my no wanting to buy another NFL jersey at this rate. It’s ridiculous that it’s this hard to a QUALITY jersey.
