DILLIGAFER Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Manning memorbelia is selling like hot cakes. Manning jerseys are on back order. Ya, not the nikes, but Manning never wore a nike colts jersey so why have one made. Hats and decals are selling fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 No I'm not kiddingEventually they will, but I suspect that once he signs with another team they won't be allowed to pre-make them and promote them (until he retires). IE: I called Fathead yesterday, and they can't make any more. It doesn't really matter on the one hand because you can customize your own jersey. It does matter on the other hand, because Nike is about to redo the jerseys, and a Nike/Colts/Peyton Manning jersey would be a bit of a contradiction. Many people won't care about that, but the jerseys are also moving quickly because the dealers want to get rid of their Reebok stock before the Nikes come out. It's hard to tell which phenomena is driving the sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManP Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 They will continue to sell Manning #18 Colts jerseys until the end of time.I don't buy NFL (or any sport) official jerseys etc. But my guess was that once a player was traded, a team no longer could sell his jersey.

However you can customize them if you like and when he does retire many Colts/Manning fans will be ordering them (Colts #18 jerseys) for all time.

BIGugly Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 You think club seat holders are bandwagon fans? Those seat are expensive to own.Many of those seats are 'corporate' and actually given away to bandwagon fans (clients or potential clients) as 'favors' one game at a time. It was interesting to see. There would be 4 or 6 and even 8 seats in a row empty. The rest of the Luc would be full... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFClipboardHolder Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 They'll have to raise the prices again to minimize the losses .... $12 beers and $10 hotdogs next season.The Sixers, who struggled to sell tickets since Iverson was ran out of town, have $4.50 beers and dollar hot dogs. This year the Sixers are selling tickets with ease and I'm noticing an increase in prices as the season progresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only about 5 of us (me included) watching the game with most of the two rows of eight seats being empty. The rest of the people were behind us in the lounge area talking business and eating food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman818 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I bet I couldn't get 50% face on my Season Tickets right now if I tried to sell them. I wish I would have known the liquidation sale was coming prior to the March 2nd deadline to renew. Thanks Mr. Irsay your a quality act. They'll be sold out this year with a lot of empty seats so no games will be blacked out but you wait till 2013 my friends. You won't see anyone in there but tumbleweeds blowing by. Good thing NFL ticket is cheaper than owning season tickets. Back to the days of visiting teams fans coming into our stadium and making it a home game for the visitors.

Fireman818 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yeah, we'll get to see all these loyal Colts fans, that wanted tickets for so long, step up to the plate and keep the stadium sold out for all us fair weather fans that supported this team since 1984 and actually put there money where there mouth is. Can't wait! I wonder where all you loyal, true blue Colts fans were when I was scalping tickets in the 80's and 90's. We sure sold out a lot of games back then but where were you loyal Colts fans then. Were you all just waiting for the right time to say you were loyal fans because you have now drunk the Irsay bottled water of hipocracy!Give me a break! No fan is more a fan then someone else just because they don't go along with your way of thinking. If someone chooses to not support a team anymore, what gives anyone the right to say there not loyal. Fan bases come and go, it's sports. I'm tired of all the Irsay ^cowpatties^! Fans have different ways to support there so called team but no one is more a fan than someone else. Die hard yes! I've missed 3 home games in 18 years, am I more of a fan than someone that has never been to game but stays at home? No, but I can say I'm vested! Just tired of all the ^cowpatties^ being fed to us. If you choose to support this era then go buy some tickets and finacially support the team for 18 years as much as I have. Then come call me a fair weather fan because I choose to not support the lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What also doesn't wash is any poster going on and on about how they are going to stop supporting the team, but they keep coming here to tell everyone about it. Not unlike the person who is picketing a McDonalds and they have to keep moving out of the way for the line of people coming in to eat. No, I'm not speaking directly at you, I am speaking to this trend on this board in general. I have absolutely no issue in the least with someone being cranked as all heck about recent events with this team to the point of saying "I'm done!" We ALL have that choice. . If a person is done, I truly respect anyone's making a stand, as it were. But if one still feels the need to come here and tell other Colt fans that they are done....over and over, they might want to check how honest they are really being about this with themselves.

fade Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I miss when the Colts suck and security got laxed. I snuck in to many games at RCA. I look forward to seeing a game at LOS. Any tips in crashing LOS points of entry. Although if they get really really bad you can just walk through the front door. Least at RCA I did.PS Musical doors at Market square was great. Just dont run back stage. I wonder of the cops beat those guys with those clubs? I dunno just glad I went the other way. I missed out on the gate hopping at Deer Creek. That place just sucks. Wouldnt go there for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
