Nike's new NFL jersey template

[ColtsSouljah]

It seems as if Nike is making a big push to their latest jersey template - the "vapor untouchable." They used this style for the color rush jerseys last year and a few players used it last year at other times as well (which is why some jerseys looked noticeably different than others). The template itself is a few years old but is relatively new to the NFL (see http://news.nike.com/news/nike-vapor-untouchable-performance-system )

 

The NFL shop is now listing the new "limited" jerseys (the middle tier in expense) as utilizing that template (note the different stitching style and loss of the "flywire" full collar as the big differences from the previous limited jerseys). Scroll down to the middle of the mainpage to see the explanation of these jerseys at http://www.nflshop.com/

 

Now, here's my question. Have any of you locals in Indy (or anyone else) heard if the Colts will be utilizing this template this year? A number of teams have announced that they are (which will mean most or all of their players will utilize that template on game day) but It seems a few teams are not (like the Packers). Additionally, the Colts are one of the few teams who currently do not have a "vapor untouchable" jersey for sale via the NFL shop.

 

As something of a side note, any other jersey geeks in here? I love all things jerseys and wish there were more sites dedicated to updating us on stuff like this.

 

EDIT: As a point of reference, here's a good comparison pic. Check out the Colts style vs. some of the others in the first row with the new style (Titans, Vikings, Chiefs, etc). https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DASdBnoXoAAy1Eb.jpg:large

interesting analysis, I find the Nike Jersey I own for the Colts kind of weird compared to the old rebook ones. Whenever I left my arms above my head the whole jersey kind of scrunches up with it, just kind of weird fitting. I have the "cheap" $100 game jersey though.

Agreed! I own all three styles (game, limited, and elite) and they all do that. I much prefer reebok's template for jerseys.

I am curious to see if these new vapor untouchable limited jerseys fit better but I won't be buying one unless its a Colts one

I also found the Nike Jersey's weird or actually uncomfortable to wear. I much preferred the Reebok's jerseys over Nike. It seems the Nike jersey is patched together.

I actually bought one of the Colts color rush limiteds, they fit just like a regular t shirt. Honestly I thought it was one of the most comfortable jerseys I've had

Not a fan of Nike's. The "mesh" on the Reebok jersey fell with gravity, now sitting on the couch in my Nike jersey bunches up bc they are meant to be worn by people standing in the game and not couch potatoes.
