    It would be cool if they sold sleeved versions for us fat pasty guys with girly arms. But they just look silly on the players.

    If they do the nickname thing I'm gonna be pissed.

    Gawd I hate sleeves on a Jerseys. If anything make team-sanctioned arm/elbow padded gear that match the team uniforms. This is simply a way to try and sell more shirts. Ugh.

    Playing basketball with sleeves sucks.

    I'll never buy a jersey with sleeves. Terrible idea.

    sleeve jerseys are so damned ugly. Sucks they ruin our cool alternate with it, because now I never want to see the rip city jerseys worn.
    I like how they defend them by saying fans will buy them to wear more often, because people don't want to wear tank tops, yet you see thousands of fans a every game with normal jerseys on. We've just all figured out that you can put a tshirt underneath it so it isn't simply a tank top.

    Repped and Brilliant! I vote that Portland try to sneak it by the league and simply wear a white T-shirt under the regular jersey.

    Seriously though, with enough major players complaining about these shirts last season I gotta wonder: Do they purposefully practice in them? I mean, its gotta make a slight impact to your stroke of the ball

    It's a fucking warmup, not a jersey dammit!

    I'm still buying one or two. I'll be damned if I'll buy one with advertisements on it, though...
