Not sure what teams, but I am excited about the painted college teams. I'll definitely be getting some.

I think its good to have options. To each their own. Some folks prefer the stickers for various reasons. More options, means a wider audience. I'm like you, Daryl, but only with the painted figures, I enjoy adding the numbers and putting names on the backs of jerseys. Or I like to paint my own figures, as either option is relaxing and therapeutic. I mess up with the stickers and they get all crumpled, or wrinkled up and it just looks bad. So I guess my sticker skills are on a pre-kindergarten level like your painting skills. LOL

That's great news if they are bringing them back in 2023. Hopefully with the color rush and vintage uniforms too.

The factory painted figures I am talking about, I believe, are the Haiti Repro style.

I like all the options for different colored Uni-Form figures, but just call me old-school, because I still prefer the factory painted figures. The stickers to me are too bulky, the edges peel off, and I do not like how the numbers are all single digits and you have to put two single digits together to make a double digit number. While they are slightly cheaper because the numbers come with them, rather than having to order a team set of numbers with the painted figures, I would prefer to have the clean look of the factory painted figures. And I also prefer painting my own NFL and college teams, rather than putting stickers on the Uni-Form figures. With all my teams, I have glued names onto the backs of figures to create All-Time teams with matching numbers and I have found, it is easier to put names on the backs of the factory painted figures and have them lay more flush, compared to the stickers. So I'm curious, my question to Tudor is, will the factory painted figures ever be produced again in different uniforms like the color rush and vintage Uni-Form figures? And to my fellow EF coaches, am I the only old-fart that prefers the factory painted figures? LOL None the less, thank you Tudor for keeping electric football alive and growing.

I actually prefer the painted figures and the team customized number stickers. These make it easier for me to add names to the back of the figures. Disappointed the teams that I need are not available painted. I will not be buying anymore of the new sticker uniforms. As much time as it takes to put the sticker uniforms on, I might as well paint them myself. I already make college teams by painting my own.
