Does anybody know where I can buy an authentic ISU football jersey? I want the new design and don't like replicas.

Supposedly a place called Van Ginkles was where all the family members got them, but dont know about authentic. You can buy a USC Jersey with hardly anyone knowing the difference, at least right away.

I thought about getting a replica and having elastic put into the sleeves for the authentic look. BUt they really dont sell the authentic ones anywhere. Ive checked numerous sites that sell Nike authentic football jerseys, but despite finally becoming one of " Nike's Elite " programs, they didnt have ISU yet. Only a handfull of other schools.

I contacted the athletic department a while back about plans to offer authentic jerseys to fans. They say it is up to Nike. I have looked often but none available yet. Maybe we could contact Nike and petition them.

A lot of people have been looking for the authentic ISU jersey's with the elastic. If Nike would supply them, they would sell like crazy. I'm guessing they would cost between $150 and $200 if they did. I like the road jerseys best.

I don't think you could find any jerseys for any team with the elastic. That is normally added post production and after the jerseys are fitted and tailored....

Really? I mean, HS jerseys come with the elastic ... ours did at least, and I know they weren't tailored. You'd think that would be standard feature.

The game jerseys are made to fit as tight as possible, so they can't be grabbed. Some companies don't even stitch up the sides when they send them. They are all tailored to fit barely over the pads locally.

Yeah, i have Derrick Catlett's #84 that he wore. He's 6'4" and 250+ lbs. Im about 6'1" and 195 lbs and that sucker is tight as hell on me, i dont know how he got it on himself, or even with pads on.

TJ Max in Ankeny has a road replica of the ISU vs. EIU throwback game from last year. They are asking $25.

Not sure they have them anymore. I sent my mom there the other day and she couldn't find one anywhere. I haven't looked at the one here in CR, but I'm doubting they would have them.

I need to get some display cases for the jersey, pants and helmet. They are still sitting in the box they were shipped in, mainly so they dont get dusty or dirty somehow.
