Also, if you think Kos and Mark Mughes getting their own shirts was weird, check out this one:



And no, Grabowski already denied he was signed, he said he's still with M-1 and doesn't know what the deal with the "jersey" is.

Some drone at Reebok must think that all MMA equals UFC.

From the laughable mistakes, it's obvious the design team knows little or nothing of most of the fighters, or of the sport.

Lets play the Design a better shirt than Reebok game.



Use the photo and make a cool shirt or shirts then post. ill start working on one. do what ever fighters you want. lets see how cool we can make them. Use a UFC logo and Reebok logo just because. I know we dont have many photo editing aficionados but it could be fun.

I'm excited to watch the UFC slowly crash and burn because of the greed shown from Dana White and friends.

Thank you Reebok. Hopefully this God awful event can push further talks of a fighter union.

These jerseys absolutely suck and it's all Reebok's fault.

I was just reading Josh Samman's take on the Reebok unveiling, and something near the end caught my eye.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/6/30/8873789/here-we-go-josh-samman-breaks-down-reebok-unveiling

(It's a funny article, by the way, and well worth the read.)

Samman says near the end:

 "Do I think anyone will be paying $95 for a soccer jersey with a UFC fighter’s name on it? No. Was the presentation hilarious? Yes."


When I saw that, suddenly I realized what was wrong with the design that I couldn't put my finger on before.  I knew it just plain didn't look right, but Samman spelled it out for me.  It's not an MMA uniform.  It's a soccer uniform.

Kind of understandable, since Reebok originated as an English company, and has been owned by a German company (Adidas) for the past 10 years.  The Reebok designers don't know or care about MMA, but they love soccer.  OF COURSE they designed a soccer uniform to d**** over MMA fighters.

oh BTW Helwani did an interview with Dana today and it sounds like they are going to add one sponsor to the shorts for July 11th besides Reebok. Any guesses on who?

My odds

4:1 - Bud Light
5:1- Harley Davidson
20:1 - Corn Nuts
30:1 - Bony Acai
50:1 - Dynamic Fasteners

@Curtwag84

No odds for Monster Energy?  I mean they are technically the UFC's next main sponsor outside of Reebok; considering how they are now the center sponsor for the UFC cage.

Just thought of something funny ... Reebok spelled every word they possibly could wrong in the launch but they get Joanna Champion's one right down to the squiggly bit under the E that makes the 'um' sound.

"Giblert" was a gift from the MMA gods.

And I'm still trying to decide which was more cringeworthy: The Reebok uniform launch, or the always classic Tito Ortiz press conference for Cyborg.

What is the licensing on former UFC fighters? Either retired or those who are no longer with the UFC. Seems that their name/likeness shouldn't be included in this Reebok deal.
