I've been trying for weeks to hunt down a "real" or replica Bobcat football jersey.   I'm looking for our current green or white jersey.  Does anyone know where I can find one.   Amazing how hard they are to find.   Wish university offered them for purchase or maybe Russell athletic did?

Black: https://cbsohiou.3dcartstores.com/RA-LOCKER-black-replica...

Or, you can try to find one at the surplus sale before the spring game. I picked up a green one there for like $15 a few years ago. I also got Ivo Baltic's jersey worn in the 2010 NCAA Tournament for $15 as well.

Unfortunately for you the "real" jersey you are looking for really isn't offered.  The only time those authentic ones have come available have been when Russell has created a new special jersey (i.e. Black and Brick versions) and then the university has offered limited production runs of the actual authentic jerseys for fans and family.  The closest to the authentic to me looks to be the replica Black jersey you can get from the Ohio Bobcats store.  Otherwise you'll be waiting for the next Russell "special" and if the university holds true to past form of doing a limited run.

I don't understand why the Russell sideline apparel is not offered more readily to fans.  They could add on extra items that are ordered for the team to be sold through the university.  To me it's $pirit wear 101 to make what the coaches and players wear available to fan$.I know I would buy a few pieces as would others on here.  

The online store offered through ohiobobcats.com/Fanatics has not had many new items in a while, especially Russell.

Thanks for the input!  Appreciate the responses...

I've (unfortunately) come across those jerseys as well.

The ones offered thru the bookstore are super limited.  I'm sorry, with all due respect to Papi White, I can't rock a #4 jersey.....because I know it represents Tyler Tettleton and after the last year-and-a-half I can't have that on my conscious.  I'm also not a huge fan of the black jerseys (or the brick/white ones)

And the green ones that are offered via the bookstore are cheap looking replicas.

I'm looking for these:

Green:  http://danielkubusphotography.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/20130921-7180-dka.jpg?w=700&h=513

The only thing via Russell I could find was this (which is almost exactly what I'm looking for....but they don't make them for individuals.....you have order them in bulk from a store that carries Russell team apparel)

I am really disappointed it's this hard to find a real, deal Ohio football jersey.  I guess my best option is the spring game garage sale next year.  I really hate to wait that long.

Guess I'll just have to rock my CustomInk Steve Hookfin jersey t-shirt in the meantime!
