Still $250.00! The custom and RGIII are $300.00 so I think it's more of a case of those other jerseys just having higher prices because they can get away with it.

On the lower-level jerseys, Cooley is the same price as everyone else.

They'd never discount a player jersey while still on the roster; they wait until he's gone.

Nothing to worry about.

I pray that Nike does not know about our roster moves before we make them. That would be ridiculous.

Hey look, a Braylon Edwards Skins jersey in the shop!

I was only suggesting because it was the team store, not NFLShop.com. I would imagine the team store might have a bit more insight given Danny's love of money... still, like the artist formerly known as Buster said, odds are it's a product of the high demand for customized and RGIII jerseys.

Well since last season all signs point to him no longer being the starting TE, so I would imagine that's the reason why.

Since we were located in Boston before we moved to D.C. do you believe that BC used that same color scheme to compliment the pro team or could it have been the other way around?

Interesting side topic.

BTW love the new alternate unis. I also think the helmet is sick as it is something new and different.

I think it is the "other way" around as we started in 1932 and BC started in 1892.

I think you are correct. Plus let's not forget that back (wayyyy back in the days) college football was a bigger deal than pro football.

1893 actually. Here's the original roster from 1893 and they're clearly wearing black and white uniforms here.

The Boston College Eagles football team represents Boston College in the sport of American football. The Eagles compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Begun in 1892, Boston College's football team was one of six "Major College" football programs in New England as designated by NCAA classifications, starting in 1938.[1] By 1981, and for the remainder of the twentieth century, BC was New England's sole Division I-A program.[2] It has amassed a 624–444–37 record and is 99–54–0 since the turn of the 21st century.

That picture is 1893 but the team started in 1892, I had season tickets that year I should know.

Great story!

Helmet shots from the producer, HGI. If you go back to the gold Jags helmet in the beginning of the thread, it's the same company. They also designed the Seahawk's new helmets, those REALLY shiny gold helmets that Notre Dame wore last season along with Oregon's carbon fiber and those crazy mirrored black chrome for the Bowl game and Ohio State's camouflage helmets.

Whether you like the alternate uni or not I think everyone has to agree it could have been worse and thankfully not as bad as say the Steelers. So because of that I like them. Yes the helmet is different but the alternate uni is supposed to be from a time in which they used leather helmets and they were brown so this is just meant to give respect to those times.

However I'd love for them to keep the pants. Thats the Gold I'm looking for, not the yellow we have now, and I like the darker burgundy vs. the lighter burgundy we use now.

The Packers throwbacks are pretty bad too.
