I hope you are right. I hate to be so negative, but Im really disappointed.
They are NOT the same ones. These gloves are part of the Pro Combat Series we're wearing this weekend.
Ingram's had more of a Houndstooth look and the new ones look more like the shadow on the numbers, plus Ingram's did NOT have Pride, Effort, Toughness, Commitment, and Discipline wrote on the right glove fingers either.
I know I answered your PM but didnt want anyone to worry...
There are not any with Roll Tide on the straps. The pictures Eastbay shows the straps are turned inside-out because its red in there and has the logo thats on the middle of the v in our jerseys and one hand says "ROLL" and the other says "TIDE". And the pics on Eastbay it makes it hard to tell, so if you buy from there please know there are not any out there that have red straps that say ROLL TIDE, even though that would look good.:biggrin:
BUYER BEWARE!
Nike dropped the ball with these gloves, pun intended. I would strongly suggest people give these gloves a hard look in person before buying them on the internet.
Just got back from Hibbets. They had the gloves in stock. To be frank, I'm really angry right now. I've wanted to own these gloves since the moment Ingram flashed them on TV. Too bad these gloves are a cheap imitation of the originals. The gloves look fake and plastic. Maybe you could clean your bathroom with these gloves or something. The palms are made up of this shiny fake/cheap looking rubber material. They look and feel like a kid's toy. I wouldnt want to play football in them. Maybe if you wanted to be a bama football player for halloween you could wear these gloves...too bad its two weeks too late. Im just...mad. I would have easily payed double for quality gloves. Why Nike, why?
That point is most likely the reason for this thread being rated 1 star.Just out of curiosity, why would anyone here need football gloves? I understand wearing jerseys, but gloves?
its a collectable, just like anything else. you dont really need any of it.Just out of curiosity, why would anyone here need football gloves? I understand wearing jerseys, but gloves?
I play flag football, so I could actually use the gloves. $45 is about the same price as a decent pair of Under Armour receiver gloves, so if they're similar quality it's not a bad price. It would be sweet to flash the A's after scoring a TD. AllistarWillis indicates that these are pretty high quality; can anybody else who has actually worn receiver gloves recently compare them to these?Just out of curiosity, why would anyone here need football gloves?

I agree that paying $45 just to stick them on a wall is kind of silly.
It's just that since they're made to wear, not to display, it will take some effort to mount and frame or whatever else it takes to display them. They would look kind off odd just laying on a coffee table, for instance. Done right, they could be displayed nicely, but I guess I'm just too lazy for all that. My collectibles tend to be things that require absolutely no effort on my partWhy is that silly? It's just like any other collectible.

I'll wear mine to ballgames as gloves to keep me warm. Most gloves that fit me make me too hot and I sweat, therefore I wasted my money. These are not made to keep me warm, therefore they are perfect for me.
Also its hard to drop a tasty beverage with these gloves on:biggrin2::BigA:
Can you still buy these gloves anywhere?
