2017 NIKE NFL Apparel, Footwear & Jerseys

NFL shop needs to stop bs’ing and release new vapor elite authentics. I’ve been wanting a George Kittle elite for a while now. I found a Nick Bosa on OfferUp not too long ago which I got. But it shouldn’t be this hard to find authentics with the season less than two weeks away.
 
NFL and Nike just recently extended the contract to 2028


I like what Nike is doing with all 3 major leagues. I haven’t got any MLB gear yet but NFL and NBA jerseys are decent quality, although very overpriced. Some argue Nike’s NBA jerseys are too thin, buts it designed that way, I do like Rev30 mesh numbers, but Nike’s color palettes are a lot better

When it comes to NBA and NFL gear, I don’t know who can do it better than Nike. Everything just looks better with the Swoosh lol
The Nike Elite 51s and Vapor Untouchables have a cleaner fit to us skinny guys. The smallest (and rare) size 46 Reeboks were supposed to be a small but the general fit was terrible, and felt like a size 44 (large) compared to Nike.
 
Props to skyizthalimit skyizthalimit for the heads up. My “Ross Special” Carr jersey arrived today. Not bad for $70 shipped.

The newer cut fits better but they still gotta fix the neck. The neck on these jerseys are still way too big, look stupid.
 
My Gates custom finally came in. It was $170 shipped. No way customs should have a near $400 asking price smh

Also my new Bosa I picked up the moment he signed his contract extension. I want to pick up a white Keenan or Derwin jersey but I need the authentic

Anyone have their Vapor elites tailored or altered? This 48 is too wide for me. Fits perfect in the chest and length is good. But it’s too baggy as it goes down. Would the mesh holes be too hard to take in?

I’m in a new state now so the tricky party is finding the right person/shop to do the job is going to be tough. The lady I use to take all my authentic NBA/NFL jerseys too back home was super talented. This is harder than finding a new barber lol
 
Since the Untouchable Vapor Elite version jerseys don't have a lot of options for players readily made to ship, it sucks that you have to get a custom order for a player you want at $370 from NFL Shop or any other retailers who offer them online. And the problem with the custom jobs is that they don't use Exclusive Pro Sports and they stitch the letters and numbers with the archaic layered style instead of correct kiss-cut style.

Fanatics subcontracts the custom job to Stahls.

Thanks for clarifying that although I've known about that company for years. They don't do a good job either.

I emailed Exclusive Pro Sports a few years ago and they verified they don't work with Fanatics. But they still work with The Raider Image. They used to work with Foot Locker Inc. companies when custom Reebok NFL authentic jerseys were offered on their sites. I know because I stupidly ordered a good amount too damn big through their sites in the late 2000s.

I had good experience with Exclusive Pro Sports directly because I've sent blank MLB jerseys and had them customized. But too bad there are strictures that forbid them from working on NFL jerseys shipped to them from customers. They can only customize NFL jerseys if they have a contract with a retailer who sells them.
 
Was in a good mood after the Cs win last night so I picked up the new navy Cam and royal blue Drew from the Pats ProShop today to complete the QB collection. Vapor elite jersey is really nice and I’m excited about Cam (even if it’s just for one year) but you just never know, he may be great or he may get cut next week. So I’m keeping the tags on for now 😂

Gotta remember it’s meant for pads. And also us Jersey collectors want accuracy and that’s what Nike aimed for after people complained about the Elite 51s not being close to what’s on field

I’m all about accuracy and being close to what they wear. They can make the neck smaller though, **** looks like a big *** V neck on almost everyone I’ve seen.
 
Lì Qí Lì Qí Cam looks awesome! You bought in foxborough? I hate that they let fanatics take over the website... may have to take the drive and pick one up, love the new style and QB1

what’s retail up there -$325? Did they have a lot in stock?

Yup, went to Patriots Place because I’m not vibing with Fanatics’ “replicas” either, for the NFL or NBA (want to see if TD Garden shop is open to create an authentic Nike Away/Icon Bill Russell Jersey). But yeah, $325.99. They only had a few few vapor elites out on racks because of the price but staff seemed to have more in the back.

Fanatics sucks. I’ve been waiting months for them to restock 49ers vapor elites. Be it a customized one or an already made George kittle or Nick Bosa.

I got lucky last month and got my hands on a white Nick Bosa vapor elite from offer up. Paid almost retail, but after looking for it for months I wasn’t trying to risk not getting it by playing the haggling game.

Did they have the white away authentics?

cam looks great. fits you well too. what’s your height and weight if you don’t mind me asking

i have a size 40 brady but might need a 44 in that white cam. the elites just fit me weird for some reason

it sucks that the pro shop joined fanatics. i really liked how their team shop online was it’s own thing especially for special edition jerseys with patches
 
I need that color rush (currently home) Julian Edelman Elite jersey. Preferably a retail version but will gladly go the custom route if needed.

Thanks! I’m 6’0” and 185lbs. Got a 44 and the quality of it is pretty cool, so $325 hurts but I get it haha.
