I'd guess no where. I don't ever recall seeing the ones from the Sugar Bowl on sale anywhere that had houndstooth on them. I'm thinking the gloves Nike has made with the pictures on the palms are strictly for the schools. But I could be wrong. I mean, if they think they can make a mint off them, they will mass produce them.

Those gloves are part of the new Nike uniforms that have been unveiled by multiple programs over the last month or two. Some of the team gloves require that both palms be held together to display a school logo.

For example, on Miami's glove, when a player makes "The U" hand gesture, the image on the left and right glove join to show the logo from the helmet.

I checked the Nike web site, you can;t even get there. I don't think they are for public sell. So unless you can sweet talk MI....

Those are incredable gloves. When I first saw them, I thought to myself, what a great idea. I'd like to see Ala on the right hand and Bama on the left. I remember in the 89 World Series, Brett Butler for the Giants had Hi Kids on his gloves :biggrin: I'm sure he tested this out before player introductions. Can you imagine getting it backwards :eek:

I have submitted an inquiry to Nike via their store site asking about consumer availability and size availability. I'll let y'all know what they say if they respond.

Those would make great mountain biking gloves. Although, the script As would probably be better off on the backs of the hand in that case.

I have received a response to my inquiry. Nike says...

Nike Rep said:
I'm glad to see that you are interested in the Vapor Trail 2.0 Football Gloves.

I checked my resources and these gloves are made for the team and players and not available to the public. I will put feedback into my product development team to let them know we need to make the gloves available for purchase. We will likely not see these available at retail until at least next season.
Unfortunatly that sounds like good customer service speak for "we have no plans to sell them to the public". Maybe they will decide the need to offer some of these in our flavor based on the NC.
