odp 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2007 Yawn. Seems to be the most boring of the 2008's, although I guess it is the first time the O-tech stick is officially in a catalogue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDougalfaschnitzer 32 Report post Posted December 15, 2007 Nice to see the gamewear stuff I suppose. I was hoping to see a plain jersey with plain socks or maybe the two tone ones we've been seeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The answer to your question, just happens to be a sentence you'll hear a LOT being a member... it all comes out in the spring. So spring 2008, you'll start to see new product.

David_4x4 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) So does this mean we'll only be able to buy the "edge" socks in team colors and not basic solids?What about team practice socks? Edited December 20, 2007 by David_4x4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quasi 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 The 7k is a downspeced 9k or a downspeced 7k?I was wondering this as well. If they are close to last year's 9K, it should be a good deal (and they're white :D). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebeest 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 question about the 9k shoulder pads -- what is with the extra little velcro flap that hangs down a bit on the bicep part? Mine didn't come with any removable extensions and the elbow pads don't connect there or anything... am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Louie 28 Report post Posted December 24, 2007 Does anyone know any info about the team wear Edge stuff? Is it more like a replica or an authentic, I didn't get a good read from the description. Price point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebeest 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Does anyone know any info about the team wear Edge stuff? Is it more like a replica or an authentic, I didn't get a good read from the description. Price point?The official Edge jerseys look pretty nice -- everything is sewn on and all the patches are embroidered. They feel kinda thick, but not as thick as the old style jerseys. They're usually in the $200-$240 range, depending on the number of patches on them.The replica stuff, however, is kinda terrible. The main crest is embroidered, but it's ironed onto the jersey. the shoulder patches are screened onto the the patch material and then ironed onto the shoulders. They feel weird, almost shiny like what they used to make dazzle fabric basketball jerseys out of, but not quite that shiny. Pretty chintzy for $100 if you ask me.
