I remember from the jersey release that some people wanted to know when the new jerseys would be available for sale. I've gotten word that the jerseys will likely be available on Aug. 1, if everything ships on time. This is at Goldy's Locker Room and I assume other stores would fall in line with the same dates, too.

(I appreciate all of the likes that the Empty Bandwagon Facebook page can get -- so far on FB I've been putting out a Gopher/Minnesota/sports trivia question and maybe some links to other funny/cool shirts I've found on other FB sites. The feed isn't going to be an annoying "Click us!" type thing every day. I hate that.)

Anyway, is anyone thinking they might get one? I kind of liked the yellow one, but I'd really like to see them up close, the maroon one is sharp, too. The white one is OK, but nothing I would want to buy for myself. I'm interested to see if the brick numbering up close looks cool or is kind of silly.

I'm betting they'll have 4 since that's the number they based all the font choices on. I'd also guess that we'll see 11.

FWIW: This information conflicts with what I was told at the Spring Game. While in Goldy's Locker Room I asked the "man behind the counter" what the latest update was for the jersey's. He told me that he had just heard from Nike the day before and was told the jersey's would be available around mid July. I also asked if the jersey's would be embroidered or screen print and with a bit of a frown he said screen print. He did go on to say that he had not seen a sample of jersey as of yet.
 


The corporate guy on the Goldy's Locker Room Facebook page told me that date. No one responded about numbers, yet. No. 5 would have to be one of them, but I'm not sure if they would go with another one this year. I kind of like the yellow with the Minnesota across the back since it still has the brick-house numbers, but the maroon jersey is solid, too.

I'd be shocked if they didn't release a screen print and embroidered version, at least online.

Confused. Did you mean to quote me? Nothing in my post had anything to do with timeline or screen printing. :)
 

From Goldy's Locker Room online: "Initially we will have #5 in both maroon and gold. Once the season actually starts we can bring in other numbers based on demand!"
(This has been updated on the FB status, too.)

I'd wonder what kind of demand would allow them to add another number, but I guess in the unlikely event that someone unheralded becomes an absolute stand-out (like post-season awards standout), they would want to get those jerseys in.
 

I'm pretty excited, I'll definitely be buying at least 1.

As far as numbers go, I'd prefer to get 4 (b/c the jerseys #'s were designed off of it), or #1, #51 or something other than Gray's #5. The only reason I don't really want a Gray is because his jersey becomes outdated in a year.

I'm actually the same way. I'd likely get a #4 simply because the connection to the overall design means it doesn't go out of date (well, at least not until they change the uniforms again that is. :))

I have the same thought. I like Nos. 4 and 15 and would think about getting a jersey with those numbers.

Alright, so we have three people who want No. 4 -- we'll have to stuff the ballot (suggestion?) box about it.
 

#9. If everything goes as planned, that number will be popular over the next few years.
 

Any word on when the new jerseys will be available to buy? I saw the youth sized jerseys at Goldys Locker Room but thats it.
 



Goldy's Lockeroom has the replicas available now. Gold and Maroon, both #5. They are not great quality, but it is what it is I guess.
 

I see, I checked a few days ago, guess I should have looked again before posting. Too bad they don't release an authentic jersey, I like ones that have the numbers stictched & dont look so cheap.
 

Someone should tell Goldys to do a run with the number 7...as in "7 national titles". That number won't go out of date until we win another title..
 


I don't see the maroon adult jersey. are they sold out?
