I would say all the intangibles involved, we leaned on freshman....heavily with most not having significant playing time down by 13 late and then you have the ending....it's just something that probably won't be repeated for a very long time.Its interesting how everyone seems to feel that even though its the 5th one under CNS. Even Saban was feeling it. This one just FEELS different. I don't fully understand why though I do have some ideas.
Apparently we now use the Vapor Elite, not the Vapor One. Thus far, I've found one source for it:Something I really want but have yet to find a source for is a crimson accented, Nike Vapor One football - either just like or similar to the one we used in the CFP.
If anyone finds a source for one, please let me know.
Dang, I didn't need to see that but now that I have....$$$$Apparently we now use the Vapor Elite, not the Vapor One. Thus far, I've found one source for it:

I did order a jacket and cap off here. I try to order from here frequently, becomes an addictionIf you order on line, I suggest going through TideFans to get your gear. This is a great site and it's free so we need to show some love when we can!
I'll get the ball cap (not flat bill) and a T shirt. I also didn't like the confetti shirt so I'll get a different one and maybe a toboggan!
Where did you find the tua signed ball?Bought a couple of Nike Polo’s, 2 pullovers, 2 t-shirts, hat and a pint glass from Alumni Hall.
Also bought a CFP playoff ball signed by Tua. Will buy the Daniel Moore print when it comes out signed by Tua. (Assuming Tua will be in it.) Have the 2012 signed by Lacy and 2015 signed by Drake.
Kind of in this camp myself, although I don`t criticize anyone for buying it.You know I actually don't buy championship specific gear.
The day we played Clemson there was a Clemson fan walking around in a 2016 Natl Championship hat and jacket. I thought he looked such a tool (partially because their colors blow).
But it just dates so quickly and in a weird way, it actually feels like the opposite of the what the team is about. Saban is always about what's next. I don't know, it jsut feels odd to me.
Now regular Bama gear I wear religiously.
