Who killed NFL fashion? | Sideline Archive

[@JediMasterGeoff]

The same thing happened when Nike became the uniform supplier for MLB, too. Quality jerseys and jackets made by Majestic gave way to streamlined, boring, and shoddily-made products. Great video.

[@caseysmith544]

Part of this was because Nike had in 2023 for the 2024 season early on licensed the Swoosh out to Fanatics a company known for making cheap Knockoff gear that only lasts a single year of a few washes on its cheapest end but Nike set a price so low Fanatics had see-through crap in the white and only almost 100% solid in gray or other colors. Lots of MLB teams in 2024 pre-season had to resort back to old Nike pants until a month into the main season because of this issue telling players to double up on the top weairng a layer under the cheap tops that lasted 1--2 games if you did not wash them between games. Sure, Fanatics is okay for fans to wear, but is not ready for real on the field, court, or ice product for the players and NHL has Fanatics as the main/only sponsor for uniforms where after a year of uniforms ripping to pieces after every game, the NHL will have to find a new sponsor for the tops or players/teams might just resort to good Chinses knockoffs that are closer in color and sadly more durable then Fanatics. At least the MLB corrected the issue by paying Nike a bit more then needed and MLB head president of the league forcing them to make unforms themselves or contract is terminated so Nike they were not tempted to make uniforms by subcontracting out.

Exclusive licensing deals have killed the unique identity of NFL teams. Whether it’s with EA, Nike, or Fanatics, the NFL truly has become the No Fun League

[@sideline.archive]

Bring back the Wild West! Thanks for watching man.

[@drewmorrison]

The NFL makes a lot of money but I think they could have made more money in the long term had they not gave exclusive licensing. If they gave permissions for a percentage of revenue cut for every brand, they could have made the sport more popular while also getting filthy rich. They made a mistake in my opinion and I don't think they had a vision of the long term when they started these. They were looking for the quick buck.

[@aronneal]

Great video mate , btw I hated the Reebok era , I’m Nike guy it was something about that Nike check on the side off the jersey . But as a man in his 40’s I do long for the starter jacket look.

[@sideline.archive]

@@aronneal thanks dude! I kinda love the Reebok era. But only because it was the last time we actually got anything decent. Sort of 2001-2004 time. I miss it too!

[@702TifosiGambler]

Starter and Reebok are goated for their contributions to 90s professional and collegian sports. Side Note Starter had some of the coldest NBA 90s warmups and it was stylized based on the superstar of such team. ie: 98 76ers warms ups were hip and cool to fit the personality of Iverson while the Bulls 98 were clean and classy to match the image of Jordan

[@sideline.archive]

I didn’t know this! That’s very cool. You got any more info? I’ll look into it and do some digging

[@domfazool8326]

Starter definitely had the 90’s on lock. The factory was in New Haven, CT and had a little factory store attached. Bulls, Raiders, Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes were all dope back then.

It's amazing how monopolies end up destroying things. It happened in the music industry around 2000 when the courts allowed monopolies to buy up all the radio stations. Suddenly we went from underground movements like hip hop and grunge rock dictating trends organically to every form of popular music blending into one and the same. I used to play ice hockey growing up and back in the 1990s-early 2000s there were so many companies developing gear which helped advance the gear tech significantly over that time period from skates, sticks, protective equipment, goalie gear. Now all those small companies were all bought up by the 2 parent companies (name escapes me) that own either CCM or Bauer. Now everything seems bland and the exact same over the past decade and costs for basic equipment is outrageously expensive, like I'm talking $400 for a single hockey stick that can easily snap like a toothpick. Maybe you could try a video about that in the same vain as this one? Either way, great video - subscribed!

I’ve got some hockey videos ready to drop! The CCM / Bauer monopoly is interesting I’ll look into that. Thanks!

Also the exclusive contracts made it difficult for head coaches to wear suits if they wanted. The 49ers coach back in 2006 wanted to honor his dad and wear a suit like he did. But because of the exclusive contract, while he managed to be allowed to wear a suit, it had to be made by rebok and it looked like someone made their first suit with no prior experience.

[@sideline.archive]

Did this actually happen? Did Reebok make a suit? You gotta get me more info

My dad was a lifelong vikings fan and died earlier this year. He had a lot of the old apparel, and I always questioned his sense of style choosing that over the more sleek stylish designs. Its really interesting to see thats probably just what was trendy when he was growing up

Noooo! Ah well, always time to start a new collection. So cool to hear about your Dad’s insane wardrobe though. What a legend.

[@RossPullen]

Great video! Unfortunately though the style of the 80s/90s will never come back. We're in a "quantity over quality" era that we'll never leave. Now there's literally thousands of tshirt & jacket designs for each team, just because the manufacturing powerhouses can make whatever they want now. But while some outliers will buy the more crazy designs, the overwhelming majority will continue to buy the plain logo merch because it's safer to wear. I think when the NFL merch was just starting to take shape, the simple restriction on what was available meant that the overall look was more distinct and cohesive. We'll never have another distinctive era again, even if the 90s fashion is back in style

[@sideline.archive]

You're probably right. But a man can dream.

[@KevinPassino]

I kinda wish you'd mentioned Zubaz (the pants that were shown on several occasions, namely the Cowboys fan) as those plus the starter jacket/pullover were standard fare in the 90s. Still an awesome video for sure. Keep up the great work!

[@thecommish1976]

Thank you for this incredible video and a trip back in time. No one in the 90s thought twenty years later that NFL and sports fashion would become so boring. Unfortunately, this is what happens with monopolies. Those who want a monopoly are afraid of competition and would rather pay a huge amount than challenge themselves to think and work smarter. The Championship apparel is beyond bland. I used to work for Fanatics and the higher ups did not care about creativity. We literally had no quality control in the fulfillment centers, just inventory control. The amount of returned merchandise for being incorrect for obvious reasons was staggering.

Not gonna lie I own a ton of Bills Nike stuff from shirts to hoodies to several Allen jerseys, but I remember in 2019 I was tailgating at highmark stadium and decided to go into the Bills store and saw a sales associate opening some boxes and was pulling out some badass starter jackets from my childhood day ones and I immediately pulled out my season ticket just for the discount and bought two of them one for me and one for my buddy who was tailgating and they sold out before the poor guy could even put them up on display. Everyone in the Bills store went nuts over them and everyone was in line high fiving and hugging one another when they got there hands on one. It was insane.

People have spoken, instead of buying brand new gear from Nike, they prefer to search online and grab cooler/retro gear of the team they support, given that also Nike’s gear is not necessarily affordable, people prefer to spend their money on something that they actually like and I don’t really think that Nike will care enough to make cool gear, at least until they see a massive drop in their sales

I had the apex cowboys jacket with the stars on the shoulders. it was so cool!

[@sbwollman]

I still proudly own my original Apex One New England Patriots jacket, a gift from my Dad purchased at Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island when I was 14 years old. One time for my football hero, Drew Bledsoe as well who at one point, was larger than life, much like the Flying Elvis 90s Pats logo. A very well made video, instant subscribe. #drewbledsoe #apexone #patriots

You'll fit in well here. I have several Apex and Starter jackets. Drew came around in peak 90s fashion era. Splash Hats, Sick jackets - the works. Thanks for the sub.

Not only the merchandise but the official jerseys as well, more and more I find myself missing and preferring the Reebok uniforms.

Chalk line was also had amazing jackets, honestly the best imo the back graphics were crazy

[@sideline.archive]

Totally agree. Next video might just be doing a deep dive on Chalk line!

[@yasnooze_yalooze453]

@@sideline.archive thanks! I’ve literally always asked the question what happened starter & logo athletics. And how it was taken over by Micheal & ness. But I should’ve known it was all about money & contracts. Gonna share this with my thrift friends lol

[@sideline.archive]

@@yasnooze_yalooze453 nothing like pulling a logo athletic or chalk line from the thrift when nobody else knows what it is! Glad to have you on this journey with me bro

[@yasnooze_yalooze453]

@@sideline.archive HELL YEAH! Keep up the good content!

[@yasnooze_yalooze453]

Btw I think the hats would be a great topic for a video, majority of those vintage hats sell for comparably same prices as the jackets if not more, which is crazy, starter, LA, Sports specialties, and 1st versions on new eras
