  1. I really enjoyed looking at your work! Especially since, for what reason I cannot figure out, I gravitate towards the away Uni-Forms. I keep hoping for SB III Jets and SB V Colts, but the one I really want to see as of the last few weeks is the White Tiger Bengals with the W/B helmets! (Also, the 70s away Bears are high on the list as well!) I digress. Great work!
  2. Here’s an idea rattling around my brain. A Uni-Forms application contest at a convention that would be based on speed of application, accuracy, and presentation. Teams would be chosen by draw as would the fab five position player to be outfitted. Max time allowed could be an hour or less. Once a player is submitted, that’s it. No backsies. Points would be awarded based on the three criteria mentioned earlier. Prizes would be, let’s say, ten Uni-Form teams of the winner’s choosing and a trophy. I’m just spitballing here, but it sounds fun. Age groups could be decided, such as, 12 and under, teen, and adults…. Just a thought.
  3. Just finished my away Commanders and they look great! I’ve finished 8 teams so far and 6 of the 8 had stellar cuts. 2 teams, my classic Bills and the first team I did, my home Lions, had bad cuts. Tudor has generously offered to replace bad cuts, but by the time I realize I have bad cuts, I’m already invested in the process and power through. Nevertheless, I’m totally blown away by this product! The sheer genius of the design, production, and presentation continually astounds me. Applying Uni-Forms is my favorite hobby. So looking forward to the next chapter!
  4. 6 days to the HoF game. No drop. 😔
  5. Here are some of the mistakes I’ve made applying Uni-Forms. Wrapping 2 socks on the same leg. (Was thinking about a bill I should’ve payed 3days ago to a place that rhymes with Goes.) Putting a runner Uni on a sprinter figure. ( Wife walked through with a nightie on.) Applying #44 on the back and #34 on the front. (UPS man at the door. He was NOT in a nightie. Thanks UPS!) Have fun Y’all!!
  6. I just went though looking at a bunch of Uni-Forms and noticed they were ALL out of stock! That can only mean one thing, with the HoF game just days away. Tudor is gearing up for a huge drop! Now, that’s just wishful thinking on my part, but here’s hoping we see some fantastic product! (Black helmet Saints?) Thoughts?
  7. Just finished my 75 Cardinals and they came out great! Just got started on my away Commanders. Thanks to DimeGuy, I had to! First one done in #55 Chris Hanburger. Yeah, I know. I’m old. So sue me.
  8. Five deep into outfitting my 75 Cardinals. Hardest part was lining up the side decals for the helmets. No mid-stripe to line it up. Still very basic, simple Uni-Form. The best uniforms are simple in their design. The 75 Cardinals. From StLouis. Where God intended for them to be. Gotta love it!
  9. Most awesome! You Uni-Forms people paying attention!?!
  10. Visiting DC as we speak. Not a lot of Commanders merch floating around here, but still see the occasional formerly known as team stuff. Ordered me a hat off web and the Home/Away Commander’s Uni-Forms. When in Rome, (DC), right?
  11. Dang! Looks good. Crap! Now I’m gonna have to get the Commanders. Sweet team!
  12. Yeah. Got 2 boxes for my birthday and they got left in a hot car south of the Mason Dixon Line and they still good. Did a list of pros and cons for Uni-Forms. Pros far outweighed the cons!
  13. I’ve completed 6 teams and I’m just glad the cuts have gotten better. My first team to do, the home Lions, were like learning to type on blind, manual keys. I didn’t know it was a poor cut job until I read on the forum what the deal was. Still, for a first time, they turned out pretty good. Now I’m doing the throwback Cardinals and the cuts are amazing and it’s just a lot of fun! Not to mention getting the right tools to make the job easier. I’m still wanting to complete teams that were just pre-Seahawks/Bucs expansion. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with the product. Die cut numbers sound good.
  14. We have a drop!!!
  15. Nothing better!! Want those away Jets, Bears, and Colts!
  16. Definitely out of my price range. I hope these are reproduced in UniForms! Somewhere out there, in a nondescript attic, there are these teams, just sitting there, in the original bags. My dream find!
  17. That is excellent! Hadn’t considered it, because I’m having too much fun with the stock material. Applying Uni-Forms is my down time relaxation event. I have enough to keep me busy for a minute…. Until they have another release.
  18. I’m still in! I look daily for new content. What I want is mostly from the 70’s.
  19. I figure the Commanders will drop very close to the season, although that’s only a gut feeling. I mean, it’s not like they haven’t cemented the unis down…. Or contemplating going back to the old logo. How cool would it be for the WFT to come out on opening day in Redskins uniforms a la the Mean Machine in The Longest Yard?!? (70’s version). D.C. would float off the map!
  20. I have finished teams for the Lions, Bengals, 70s Falcons, and 69 Eagles (A). I just started the 84 Giants with a #89 Mark Bavaro, and, despite not being exceptionally crafty, it looks magnificent! Love these Uni-Forms!!
  21. Not to be greedy, but any idea when the next drop will occur?
  22. I am two players away from completing my away Bengals, and while not perfect, they look absolutely fantastic! Hats off to the guys at Tudor! This Uni-Forms product is tops!
  23. Just a few things I’ve noticed about the Uni-forms, now that I’m on my second team, is how forgiving the skins are if you make a mistake. Provided you don’t let the skins fold back on itself,(in which case you’re messed up), things usually turn out well. So I’ve learned to relax. Secondly, those popsicle sticks and toothpicks really are handy! (To my surprise). The advanced tools are great, but sometimes, I can only get a contour smoothed out by using those little wooden sticks! Go figure. How are the rest of you faring out there?
