I feel very fortunate to have a replica jersey that is true to the jersey detail. The only difference is that since it's two years old, the neckline is still jersey color instead of white. I got it for my birthday two years ago to wear to the Ohio/Ohio State game that year. I had seen it on one of the apparel sites featured on ohiobobcats.com and asked for it for my birthday that year. Since I got mine, though, I haven't seen any that are true to the detail of Ohio's uniform. It bothers me that it is easy to get jerseys from many different schools, even schools that are from the MAC, WAC, Mountain West...etc. And of course Ohio State. You can get those all day. I think ohiobobcats.com has auctions on their site. I wonder if you can get a game worn jersey on there?
Our goal is to do this exact thing, however some of the elements of OU's on-field jersey are difficult to reproduce in an affordable fan replica. I think you would find that our jerseys are of a very high quality and are a fair representation of what is being worn by players. Bear in mind that the big schools sell thousands of jerseys every year and they are made by huge manufacturers overseas with huge margins. These manufacturers have largely ignored niche fan-bases such as ours, and that's where we come in. We are producing jerseys in relatively small quantities and with the highest possible attention to detail. We think you would be pleased with a jersey from Victor Athletic, and we invite you to try one for yourself.
Thanks for the information. I appreciate your offer; however, I am happy with the one I have now. In fact I'm wearing it right now since today is the New Orleans Bowl. The one thing I like about college jerseys is that since the name isn't on the back, the number represents someone else as the years go. Mine is #5, which was Kalvin McRae. Now it's a Phil Bates jersey. I also understand that huge schools can get large quantities of jerseys made overseas, but I've seen some jerseys from other MAC schools, such as Kent State, Western Michigan, and Akron. WIth that said, though, I'm glad that your company is helping to make sure Bobcat fans can "stand up and cheer" in a realistic Ohio replica jersey. It does look nice. Any chance you'll make white ones, also?
