Dont like THIS particular one, but the others should be nice. Still pissed these are NCAA. Would have been awesome with an NFL license.

first thought, for me the patch is too small.

Yeah, not sure why that matters with an event used jersey. That's just me though. I really dont think its that much smaller than previous years though.

ya not a fan so far. Patch is way to small

I really think that the patch size is not a big deal. Of all the things to nitpick, that should be further down the list.

1. The cards look bad
2. The patch too small
3. UD can stop being cheap and put some effort into product

Its right in the middle of that list.

They're game used college jerseys

Overall I think it is ok but with all that space where the "patch" is I think it could be bigger

Whether or not the window is too small, that foil (?) around it is just ugly.

yea, UD where is the effort?

UpperDeckFootball · Mar 1, 2011

The patch is a tad smaller then previous years.... but we didnt get the yield that we had which with NFL jerseys, we did plan ahead for this in 2011. The foil around the die-cut is the same color pretty much as past years

RITM · Mar 1, 2011

Looking forward to adding another Manning to the stack!

PetestillRose · Mar 1, 2011

I get that the foil has been there, I just think it's too busy for what is essentially a square cut-out.

The poster brings up 3 great points. UD has such an opportunity to wow collectors with a product only they can offer. Instead we get a cheap, ugly, spX-type jersey window product. Not one...NOT ONE Upper Deck product this year has shown ANYTHING special whatsoever. No creativity, plain jersey cards in Sweet Spot...which could have been such a great product. Upper Deck did a better job with 2009 UD Draft then anything I've seen this year. At least that product had 5 on card autos at a decent price point.

Sweet Spot wasn't creative? really? well, I understand we can't please everyone...but dont worry next years Sweet Spot won't have any jersey cards!

I would probably agree to a point, sometimes foil can be too much on what should be a clean unobstructed design

RITM · Mar 1, 2011

Hi UD, hope all is well. What can I expect to see of Peyton Manning in this product? Are his sigs on card?

I would say most agree

You have to understand this isn't (and can't be) like previous SPA releases.

UD can't just bring 50 jerseys for each player to put on for a few seconds like they could at the Rookie Premiere. There's an extremely limited amount of college jerseys (I'd guess 2-4 per player) available to them through the NCAA. And I'm not sure if you've noticed, but collegiate jerseys don't have very many "prime" swatches on them. The only jerseys that have actual patches on them are bowl game jerseys. Most of those aren't publicly sold

The 3 biggest issues we had with 2010 SS was the rookies didnt have a pack to pack presence, it was terribly late and the jersey cards were weak......that has all been fixed for 2011
