The Nike Blade Collar

[tigerrag]

What does everyone think of the new "Blade" collar that Nike has come out with?  It looks intriguing, to say the least.  Rory has been wearing it for about a month now on some of his shirts.

 

I'm thinking about ordering one and seeing how I like it.

So far I am not a fan. Probably it is targeted at demographic younger than me, but I think it looks like he is wearing a regular shirt with something wrong with its collar.

I like the look of them, better than the Tiger collar less look.

[Mop Bucket]

I would wear it.

I think I like the old actual collar more. But I'm not a 20-something super-fit guy.

To me it looks not like a collar but some strange appendage,

I like the look of it, but I'm not convinced it would be very comfortable.  It almost seems like it'd feel like a mock turtleneck.

It's also $90.

For that price, there are some REALLY nice polo shirts by "premium" companies like Maide Golf.

I'd hate to admit how many multiple shirts I can  buy for  $90. Also I don't want to dress that nice. People will expect to much off the tee.

For me, it is precisely 3.01003. 

(I get my golf shirts at Uniqlo for $29.90/each)

That one is actually the "roll" collar, but looks very similar to the blade.  The difference is the "roll collar" folds over, almost like a shawl collar, where as the blade does not.

I placed an order for the $80 blade polo.  We will see when I get it in how I like it.  Hopefully it'll be pretty sweet, otherwise it goes right back to Nike.

I had never heard of that site before, but just checked it out, and ut oh.  You may have me hooked.  I really like some of their styles.

Looks like an interesting store.  I never heard of them until your post.

Just a quick update, I received my blade collar polo a few weeks ago, and absolutely love it.  I like it even more than I thought I would.  It fits great, and the collar ads something subtly different.  I'll be honest, if they weren't $80-$90 a pop I would buy 1 or 2 more.  For now, just the one will have to do.

 

If these don't sell as Nike hoped I might be able to score a few on sale in a few months.

I get mine at Ross and Burlington Coat Factory. Usually are PGA Golf shirts, Greg Norman, Izod, and even Nike golf shirts for anything from $14.99 to about $22.99. If a golf shirt is priced at $24.99 I say to myself "you're crazy" and put it back on the rack. I do have one  Footjoy golf shirt with my home course name and emblem on it but that was a Christmas present.

As just stated. In a year or two you will be able to get last seasons in Ross or Marshall's etc for less than half price. You may not be as cool as the guy with the current seasons shirt but you will be cooler than popped collar guy...

It's basically a mock collar with a split in the front. Dress shirts with these kind of collars have been around for ages. I like it, but not running to buy it.

[Groucho Valentine]

I think its silly. Is it a golf shirt or a bath robe?

Yup. It's also called a banded collared shirt. Looks close enough to me anyway.

Looks like the kind of shirts that a cook working in the kitchen wears...

Huh?  I fail to see the bath robe resemblance?  Maybe you were referring to the picture with the "roll" collar above. 

 

This is the blade collar polo.
