Honigs had a set on display at our chapter meeting tonight. I still think what they are doing here is stupid, but I'll give a report for those interested.

First, it appears they will be wearing the white knicker with a thick black stripe down the side when the regular season hits. At least, those revised knickers were on display. They appear to be the Honigs knickers (premium, I think), but instead of snaps to button they have a slacks type clip.

Second, the material on the shirts -- short sleeved only, as that's all they had -- isn't anything revolutionary for those of us who have bought performance fabrics for a while. Its a Reebok shirt that appears to be the same or similar material to what they'd make for their tennis or soccer line. Probably just a little heavier than what they'd sell as running or workout shirts, but still similar to what you'd see at Sports Authority for microfiber soccer or tennis shirts. The feel alone reminds me an awful lot of the way an Adidas soccer shirt that I've seen before felt. The one weird thing about the shirt is that the zipper puller (for lack of a better term) is of a plastic type material and doesn't have a hole for a smitty lanyard.

Third, the hats are a Reebok labeled pro-mesh fitted style with the NFL logo in front and nothing on back. At least, that's what was there tonight.

Finally, the worst for last: in the "they have got to be joking" category, the cold weather pants are full length, belted slacks in black with a thick white stripe down the side. The legs are open like basketball slacks, and they have the same clip instead of snaps above the zipper. The material seems to be exactly like the knickers, so I can't imagine why they are going to these things.
