UD Practice Jersey

I really dig those practice jerseys that the guys were wearing in the red/blue game. I think i already know the answer to this since our merchandising options are usually pretty limited, but is there any chance at all those are for sale anywhere?

typically the practice gear is part of the shoe contract that the University or coaches have.

On a side note if you happen to see footage other college team that wear Nike you will notice that they have the same style gear just different colors.

Why would you pay money for one of those?

goes along the same lines as why would you pay for a osu (or whatever college team you like) jersey? He prolly likes the way they look and wants to support ud

I didn't like them because the numbers were hard to read- needed more contrast- and yes I had my glasses on.

Yes, they were bad. The numbers and logos didn't pop at all.

indicates one of two things......
1. you negotiate BG's NIKE contract,
2. you are a fromer student manager.

Um, gotta say you guys must be high. Those practice warmups are a welcome departure from the cartoonish UD-logo that dons everything. It even has a more classic collegiate typeface on it (which is almost impossible to find on any UD stuff nowadays). They may not 'pop' as well, but it is after all a practice jersey. It doesn't really need to. It's more subtle and tasteful than a lot of the other stuff i see online or in the bookstores when i visit. That's why i assumed of course that i wouldn't be able to actually purchase one.

practice man. Are we really talking about practice jerseys and how they look? I don't care what the Flyers practice in and I don't even care what our uniforms look like. If we get to the NCAA tournament and win a game or two this years uniforms will be my favorite.
