Best College Gear

helimachoptor

Chaps.. looking to buy some AF gear for christmas.

Any recommendations for college gear?

So far i have recommendations for
Mizzou
Miami
Notre Dame

any others? Really just looking for good colour schemes :pac:

Personally I like the Oregon gear I've seen on some tourists around town

The Bogman

Was actually thinking of getting some myself for Christmas. Where would you buy from? I'd go along with the three you mentioned and, personally I'd say Florida, UCLA and North Carolina aswell. Marshall too, I just have a thing for that shade of green in an American Football jersey.

Kansas Jay Hawks would be worth a look.
There was some lovely retro style Adidas jay hawks t shirts on espn.com last year.
And their mascot reminds me of foghorn leghorn.

San Diego Atzecs have some nice gear also

North Carolina Tar Heels

That bird is pretty cool looking and does the Marshall gear

UCLA is actually a clothing label in its own right, it pops up on www.brandalley.co.uk from time to time

Where do you buy the gear from??

helimachoptor

Fansedge.com is where I get it from, probably got 3/400 worth of gear over the last year

Some of my favourite jerseys this season. They are all a similar style so you can see what type I like.

Connecticut



Michigan State



Cal



And if you want something a bit different, Oklahoma's "Bring the Wood" Crimson 'n' Cream is beautiful.



And while our on-field product has been Jeckyl and Hyde the past few years, at the least the guys always look the part. Nicest jersey in the game imo :cool:

helimachoptor

I keep thinking of Washington Huskies but that Uconn stuff is pretty sweet

franglan

Clemson stuff with the orange and the paw is fairly out-there. Can't beat a stupid looking gator on the front of a sky blue t-shirt either - great convo starter to the American birdies knocking around our cities.

Onecoolcookie

Oregon throwback jersey was an absolute beauty this year.

Sooners Jersey posted above is a nice one too

JaMarcusHustle

The Navy uniforms are also pretty damn sleek. Pretty sure it's on Fanatics/Fansedge too.

What sort of bread does that Fans Edge site charge for delivery and do you get whacked by customs?

They give you the option to pay customs up front which I think is great. Minimises the delivery time. Been a while since I ordered though so I can't remember how much it came to. All I remember is delivery was fast. I ordered Notre Dame throwback 2 weeks before the ND / Navy game here and I had it delivered, returned (too big) and a replacement redelivered all with a couple of days to spare.

helimachoptor

I've ordered 3 different times, never been stopped for customers

3...2...11 Jinxed!

Bateman

If you do get stung for customs, what you will be expected to pay according to info I have from someone itk is as follows:
12% Duty on the purchase price
23% VAT on the pruchase price
23% VAT on the delivery price

That goes for any clothing hats etc from abroad, not necessarily for all consumer goods.

helimachoptor

it seems now fansedge are adding customs costs onto the order :mad:

Lirange

I've always liked the Arizona State Sun Devils design.







As well as Auburn

My problem is now (1st world problem) all the stuff i want comes to about 1K :eek:

need to trim it down

Lads I know this has been asked in the NFL Gear thread but what is the story with sizing. I am usually between a Small and Medium on regular shirts depending on brand but prefer a closer fit. Would an Kids XL or even a L do the job? I spotted this thread last night and started looking though the college gear. A man would be in the red if I bought everything I liked!

helimachoptor

So heres what i've decided on (i think) there's been a big sale on the last few days so a lot of stuff has gone in the sizes i want

Pretty much always a discount, i got 25% off but no free delivery unfortunately, but its only $24 for international delivery within 10 working days

helimachoptor

first batch arrived today, all fit.. expect the next part of the order to arrive monday

braddun

is it for fancy dress or day use

helimachoptor

day use.

I'll stick up a few pictures on sunday, quality is pretty decent

DBIreland

Heli,
how long did delivery take? how were the sizes compared to the NFL Nike stuff (pretty similar I suppose on Nike items)?

helimachoptor

it came in 2 packages, one took about 5 days, the other about 11.

I got large everything, all fits bar one hoodie which is just a bit too big but still wearable.

get the measuring tape out tbh, i assumed i'd be medium and was going to order on the basis but measured myself and realised i'd gotten fat :eek:

Bateman

I ordered a Stanford T in (L), an Indiana basketball T in (L), and a Ravens T in (L).
They all fit spot on, I'm a 39 neck in a shirt. Top quality official gear.
