This jersey is not what I was expecting and was sorely disappointed. The numbers on them are ok, but doesn’t boost the overall look of the jersey. The pants and socks give it a more complete look, but still not a great jersey.
I’m still buying one and will do a TXHT Jersey Share article on it though.
