Could this be what we think it is? I've honestly never seen this before.

WHOA...me likey!
I've seen gray knockoffs in the past, but EVERYTHING on this is stitched. Also, it's cut as if it's an on-field model.
very nice
I like it. I like a lot.
The gray jersey looks sweet.
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
We are wearing "rivalry" jerseys or something this year. I thought they were supposed to be unveiled in September, however.
Slippy: they were supposed to be announced in September, but for some reason Nike is being unusually quiet this year (or something is delaying the unveiling). Maybe the 11W staff can weigh in, but these jerseys look much, much more legit than your average gray knockoff.
I sent a message to the ebay seller asking where and when it was purchased. Be interesting to see if they respond.
I emailed the guy as well. The other things that he's selling look legit. We shall see.
It's too shiny. Although it would have come in handy Saturday night walking home from ETB when some jackhole decided to take his Mustang for a drive in the grass along High St.
-The Aristocrats!
The fact that it is too shiny fits in perfectly with Nike's chrome theme this season.
Seems impossible that it could be sold on ebay before its even unveiled. Nike would obliterate the person selling it.
419: I agree, which is why this is odd. The jersey is too good; stitched, tags, everything. Either this guy knows something, or he's one hell of an expert at making knockoffs.
I like it, just bought the medium one. When I receive it will let you know what the tags say.
I have this Jersey-- bought it this year!!!
Remember that in the end you will be judged not by what you believed, planned or dreamed; but, by what you did.
definitely awesome alternate jersey but not pro combat jersey.

You're probably right, Browny. I'm intersted to hear from him what the hell this is/how he pulled this off.
I'm pretty sure its some kind of chinese knock-off. Most of the jerseys on the knock off sites like borntrade have the authentic Nike tagging. The issue is that if it were legit it would not have a nameplate, especially not that of a current player. If you check the borntrade jerseys, the font on the nameplates are almost identical to the one on this one.
Very Interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing that with maybe a chrome helmet like Oregon's and white buckeyes on it and white pants! We'll see. Just as long as they are not all season outfits.
I am curious, with so many teams breaking out all blacks, why not all blacks with red numbers and those flat black helmets with red buckeyes on them? I believe last month someone posted a pic like this but a little different from what I'm thinking.
You can get stuff like this overseas where they make them. They will make anything for a few bucks for you.
hmmmm....what is this website? http://www.supplyelitejerseys.com/NCAA-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-5-Braxton-Mil...
has awesome NFL jerseys too
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
It looks and feels legit, but I know for a fact it is "knockoff"
Remember that in the end you will be judged not by what you believed, planned or dreamed; but, by what you did.
Good point about the nameplates. Any college jersey made in this country would not have that. Sorry for making something out of nothing. I purchased an overseas knockoff before, so I should know better.
Another thing I just noticed, the logo at the neck is crooked.
@buckeyebrowny...thats another Chinese knockoff site.
You can tell by the collar that it is not a Nike Pro Combat jersey.
WIBUCKEYE
lol yeah i figured..but to get a browns jersey i'd rather get one of those then add expensive ones to the jerseys i keep in my closet that i can never wear again. couch/edwards/mccoy/etc
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
Browny: word of caution with these sites - a lot of these jerseys end up in US Customs hell.
While this jersey is simply awesome, I actually distinctly remember some stores selling a "Krenzel" jersey with this exact same color scheme back in 2002-2003 time frame. Perhaps my memory is faulty.
Regardless, these things would look great on the field! (against a red helmet with a chrome block O, in my opinion)
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
hmmm..true...i used to order from sthcool17 before that bad boy got shut down. but it definitely is a risk
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
Also, AJ Hawk's wife (Brady Quinn's sis) also wore a half and half jersey to the 2006 Fiesta Bowl. The OSU half of the jersey was silver/grey.
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
You're right Chrome, I remember that. I'm a dumb@ss.
^Haha no worries O-H KEE PA...regardless of whether it's old or new, fake or real, I think they'd be a welcome change every once in awhile on the field.
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
Nike has done this previously
Chrome, Red helmet with a chrome block O? I know our colors are scarlet but Ferrari red helmet with High gloss! That would be so awesome!
The jerseys look great to me and are actually really nice. Plus if you get the older players they will come with the name plates even if your ordering at a place in the states. I would rather have a throwback cris carter than a current player anyways. I find it weird to wear current players jerseys.

BucjeyeAZ: I'm at this point in my life too. Find it kind of weird to wear the jersey of a guy 10 years younger than me.
I've seen this already, in person. It's a nice design/alternate, but it's not new sadly.
Banned from ATO since June 3rd 2PMish PST
I have seen that jersey as well. Can get it from Korea for $25. Was gonna get it but went with the all orange joe haden browns jersey.
@squirrel, yes red with chrome O (kinda like a reverse of the Rutgers design)! I think chrome can be a classy look if it is tamed. For instance, those chrome diamond plated helmet designs that are out there would be great...if they dropped the diamond plating, in my opinion.
I also think a black jersey with scarlet numbers outlined in chrome against said black-striped chrome helmet (without that diamond plating crap) would be an excellent look, especially under the lights of the 'Shoe. I favor a bit of change every so often and I know this is one of my pipe dreams that'll never happen but I think it'd be awesome!

I saw this on weiketrade.hk for $28 plus shipping. It looks nice, and I've heard that for knockoffs, their jerseys are pretty good. This definitely isn't a leak of any pro combat jersey, though. I'm tempted to pick up this and an AJ Green jersey off of there.
Class of 2010.
What color pants?....Red? I would still love to see black jerseys.
guys i have this jersey and i can tell you where to get it for 30 dollars
it comes from china not the most legal thing
mark may wins douchebag of the year... again
hey...it's not our fault we found a website with cheap jerseys and felt like ordering them. It's their job to stop these sites lol. that being said...customs, turn your head for a second please?
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
Def. a knock off but no need to worry about customs, since it's coming from the USA via USPS Priority mail. Not to mention pay pal's buyer protection. Good looking knock off though, albeit a little too pricey for something fake.
Since this is a jersey related topic, I figured this would be OK here (yes, I'm the owner)...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221136989827?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p...
i will prob never buy jerseys in America again....have been ordering ones from china and they are too good and only $20. found a site that takes pay pal so makes it a little more comforting. That is a sweet jersey though, really like the grey.
smolnar: care to share the site? I'm interested in a legit site that people have had good experiences with.
Fake as hell
http://www.nflwholesalejerseyss.com/
i always ask for express shipping for free and they always do it, have gotten mlb, nba and nfl ones so far and all been incredible. Ordered 3 times, comes in about a week each time. try to get multiple people to order though cuts shipping costs
lol at their choice of Browns jerseys...seems a bit dated
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
Why can't nike's alternate uniforms look like this instead of the crap they've been putting out for us the past 3 years?
just bought this lol
watch that site @smolnar when they do stuff like this.......http://www.nflwholesalejerseyss.com/product_view.asp?id=20560
