Q: I have attended every Navy home game for the past four years (including Arm-Navy games) and have been looking for a football jersey replica from Nike. I realize you have been asked this question numerous times, but after a successful year so far in 2003, I have yearned to own a Navy jersey not made by Champion, but instead by Nike. Players like Craig Candeto and Kyle Eckle are on the top of my list. I recently visited navygear.com and saw they were selling a Nike Uniform, but with #12 (obviously for the legend, Roger Staubach) on it, and they said that is the only number they have. Is there anyway you can help me out. I would love to have something just to remember all my days spent at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Thank you in advance for your consideration of the previous questions. - asked by: Craig Restrepo -
A: Craig, when any company commits to a jersey, they commit to volume in production and sales. Nike does have a replica jersey that's carried by "Pepper's" downtown, but it is #12. I honestly don't see them offering anything else in the near future. Nevertheless, there is that opportunity to wear a Nike jersey carried by that local vendor.
