I wouldn’t have an issue with the NFL shop customs if there weren’t such noticeable differences between a custom and pre-made player. In theory it should be the real deal if you’re ordering it from the real source. Some/all of your customs may have initially come from the NFL shop. But it turns me off when a custom Cam Netwon from the NFL shop is different from a premade Cam Newton (like we saw a few pages back).
NBA is a lost cause at this point
the twill numbers imo do not look good and Adidas does not care how we feel.
My guess is that fanatics or some group using data analytics determined that it’s cheaper to not premake 5-6 players for authentics and offer customs instead. And it wouldn’t be a problem if the customs are of the same quality, but they’re not. Although the Texans jerseys you posted look pretty close, so how close is close enough?
And this is the part where my head spins and all my friends tell me I’m an idiot for caring too much
