Kelly Green hype


Recommended Posts

So we had the big reveal on the Kelly Greens, and yeah, nice design, nice look.  John Clark did a pre-reveal, and honestly, the jersey itself looked cheaply made.  I understand the authentic "elite" jerseys aren't out yet but will be retailing from nike for $350 a pop.  I'm taking a pass for now and waiting for the hype to die down.  The Midnight Green Trotter jersey still works just fine.

The zig zag stitching on the pants is bugging me. Looks like someones mother sewed them in their craft room

Funny I was thinking the same.

Jerseys are fine but i'd rather buy one of those helmets. Will they be selling those?

I might be in the minority here, but I definitely prefer midnight green instead.  I can only take those new Kelly Green uniforms in low doses.  So 2 games a year is fine.

How long before the Midnight Greens become the alternates?

It happened with the Chargers, their powder blues were the alternate and then became the main uniform.

It also happened with the Jets, the Namath version was an alternate and became the main. Happened with the Gnats and the lower case ny, too.

I just scanned through Fanatics and I'm a bit surprised that they don't already have them available. I already have mini-helmets ranging from 1960 through Midnight Green, so I won't buy one. But if we were to win the Super Bowl, I might buy an authentic along with a Super Bowl logo helmet to go along with my LII and Authentic Midnight Green.

As far as I can tell, the jerseys the players are wearing have heat sealed numbers and names (just like they did back in the day when they were the official jerseys), just like the Nike FUSE Limited at $175.  I'm not sure what you think is going to be that different for twice the price other than being the same material and funky cuts/panels that game jerseys have.

The pants dont look right.... does't look like they are silver... look more like gray/white. 

Agreed.

I like the jersey. I LOVE the helmet.

The silver pants were the worst uniform pants we ever wore, absolutely god awful, I will never understand the nostalgia for them.

Look like the pants Tawny Kitaen would wear lining up in a **** football themed 1986 soft focus rock video by someone like Whitesnake, while David Coverdale sings some horrible soft hair metal ballad about being the Quarterback of your love or some nonsense.

Silver pants are for the sort of guys who get publicity photos zoomed to 100% on theirs screens to "check the stitching" on the players pants.
