Anybody know any store online that sells the gray shorts? I got my "authentic" (more likely the "Jumpman" quality) blues from Yates/GUHoyas.com, but can't find anyone selling the grays.
Any help?

Also, has anyone seen the gray sweatshirts that JTIII was wearing on the Real Sports interview? I know that the navy ones are available online, but I haven't seen the gray ones.

I just called Yates: They only have the Authentic (not Jumpman) in blue, all size small, and for $60.00. They have smalls and mediums of the jumpman shorts in blue only for $40.00. No sign of the grays right now . . .
So to answer your question, Buff, No.

Where are the navy ones available online?? I've been looking for that sweatshirt a lot of places. Yates didn't have it last weekend. I'm going to check some of the usual places later today for that sweatshirt. It's very sweet.

Wait, the $60 ones are still another form of replicas?

Wait, the $60 ones are still another form of replicas? YES, they are just a much higher quality replica that is made to look almost like an authentic short. But if you compare them to the ones the team actually wears they are not even close. Just another way for Nike/Jumpman to make money.

Wait, the $60 ones are still another form of replicas? The $60 shorts are "Swingman" quality. Things are stiched on, but they are not the quality fabric or detail of the true authentic shorts. True authentic shorts would likely be made of the Dri-FIT material, and probably have an insert of fabric with the kente print. However, the Swingman $60 shorts are of a much better quality than the lower level shorts, on which everything is screenprinted. Also, the "replica" shorts are much thinner than the Swingman shorts, which have a heavier level of mesh, then a lining of shimmer-like material inside. Hope that all makes sense.

Yup, perfect explanation. At least one person knows what Im talking about, haha.

They are available at Finishline.com; just type in georgetown on the search bar and the "practice fleece" is what I am talking about.

Thanks for the info, guys. I still plan on going by Yates this weekend to get my "more authentic replicas" for $60, and then not eating for a few days to make up for it.

Same thing happens in football - or did. The new tighter jerseys from Nike are getting to the point that all numbers are screened on anymore but I did find some Clemson ones with stitched cloth numbers in a store a couple of years ago - usually all you saw was the screened numbers.
