Yeah, people would essentially pay 200$ just for the patch, since it is on a crappy quality jersey, and not placed correctly (as in where it was placed in the game, that jersey has the "media day" placement,, ): Complete madness! They can get a separate patch almost that good for 1/10th of the price...
I think they did a pee poor job on the Super Bowl Jerseys in regards to marketing.
leading up to the SB, Nike full well knowing we are wearing white and most fans are going to want to buy jerseys of the same color.
White: Game Day Only (patch thankfully on the correct side)>
Blue: Game day AND limited (patch on the wrong side on top of that).
After SB:
White: almost nowhere to be found regardless of type
Blue: tons and SB patch that crappy sewn one and only available in gameday.
Elites: Non-existent Pre/during/post Super Bowl with SB patch.
I'm thankful I have my white RS jersey with the chromaflex patch, but ideally I would have liked to buy it in an elite or at least limited. Shame Nike really didn't take advantage of it. I bet you if the Broncos won they sure as hell would've had a large supply of the right colored jerseys, with chromaflex patches in multiple jersey grades.
