2016 Jersey Thread

[JayH]

I think last season's black away jerseys were to overcompensate for the anticipated initial reaction to the regurgitated home jerseys. I wear my black away jersey proudly, but expect future away jerseys to not feature the black as prominently.

 

[mgarbowski]

Name me one normal person in NYC that wears Orange and Blue together when they go out of the house?

ETA: And he gets the black in there, too.

 

[Ulrich]

lol what? you never been to knick games? all around 34th street theres people rocking that orange....or do you mean non sporting events

Non-sporting events, and I'm referring to normal people on a normal day. If I'm going to shell out $$ for a jersey, I'm going to want to be able to wear it out on the weekend without embarrassing my wife as the bonehead sports fanatic - just wearing it to games isn't enough return on the investment.

uh..... that's like an evil clown from a horror movie.....

 

[Seth]

No it isn't. We wear white and blue. Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, Giants. All the classy teams don't wear black.

Sorry, man. If I'd known it would've started this big a forum fight I never would've sassed you.

Ehh. They design jerseys WAAAAY in advance. No way they saw the outcry over the home shirts and threw the black one together.

I meant in anticipation, not in reaction. CFG, of course, was going to push the MC jersey, and someone had to think/consider/propose that this could come off as heavy-handed to a fan-base with a strong opinion and identity.

i guess, but i do see people with random NFL jerseys or MLB jerseys as well as random soccer jerseys with the HUGE fucking sponsor in the middle at non sporting events.

maybe its just me i just use my jerseys at sporting events or watch parties

EDIT: Oh i do tend to get those "retro" shirts with no sponsors from campo retro and the like, since those i feel i can wear anywhere

I don't mind the sponsors, but some of those orange/blue monstrosities posted earlier are cringe-worthy. And there are many jerseys that are tastefully done that can be worn around - RealMadrid, Barca, Chelsea are a few that come to mind. But if any of these turned up in our Blue/Orange Scheme, I'd never go near it:

Maybe they had the black away to appeal to Mets, Jets, Islanders etc fans since Yankees fans tend to also be Giants Rangers fans etc.

We're all talking about sports jerseys.

Gotta have a black jersey. They hide my man boobs way better than the light blue.

I wear orange & blue to work. I have a blue shirt with orange stripes from Brooks Brothers. I also wear an orange tie with a blue blazer from time to time or under a blue sweater. The key is for orange to be an accent color to something that is mostly blue.

Orange works well with formal wear:

As does sky blue, of course.

 

[Buckley]

FWIW I believe the navy blue shorts will be paired up with the home shirt this season regardless what has been in the media day pictures.

 

[northernburbs]

As does sky blue, of course.

Ha I wore a sky blue tux with black chuck taylors to my Jr prom in 1979. never goes out of style

 

[S1ARK5]

I hope this is the jersey, and I hope the numbering/lettering is orange....take my money now!

My thoughts exactly

 

[roxfontaine]

All of the apparel manufacturers (Adidas, Nike, etc) have the next season's designs (running, soccer, basketball, etc) done well over a year ahead of time (a good friend is in the running store business and they place orders well in advance of the current season). It takes so much time to get approvals/sign offs from all connected parties just to proceed to production, and then production across wherever their factories are in Asia takes time to - remember, each of these companies have multiple teams with different designs & colors that requires modifying equipment and settings. It can't be done last minute. I'd wager that the team's full supply of stock has been in the warehouse for some time now.

Bingo.

Also, I highly doubt that this is the jersey.

The fire just announced their new kit. Does that mean we should be expecting the reveal of our new away jersey in the very near future?
