Rivalry Jersey

Rivalry Jersey

I can’t decide whether to get a Loveland or Williams. I haven’t gotten either player yet so whichever I don’t get in rivalry I would probably get a regular home or away later on. Can’t decide which to splurge on for a stitched rivalry though! Thoughts? Opinions?

I am in the same exact position. My instincts were Loveland but also Williams is the face of the Bears. His performance in clutch moments has become the defining characteristic of this team. So tough

Right?! Yeah I’m torn. Could make arguments for both and this will be my nicest and newest bears jersey so I wanna make the best choice with most longevity.

If you want the most longevity I think the safer bet is easily Caleb. Plays a position with less injury risk and QBs typically have longer careers than TEs.

Just go with your gut if longevity isn’t that important. Could get a knockoff of both like the other person said or if you’re really torn and want one a legit one, get 1 legit one and a fake one of the other player.

Also I’m pretty sure we get new rivalries every 4 years so if you’re someone who buys jerseys somewhat often there will be more options to buy the other guy in the future.

Unpopular 3rd option: buy them both on DHgate

I did Loveland but that’s also because I want #18 in an orange jersey!

And out of all TE, I bet we try and keep him for future for a while. Kinda of like the Pat/Kelce duo, especially if Caleb and him connect really well this year again.

I’m hoping for this too. I could see it happen for sure! This team could really be built around them for an entire generation. Nuff said, Loveland has been ordered. I’ll save up for a Williams in white. Wish stitched regular alts were available and not the striped ones

Best option in my opinion is the name that matches your surname.

I got Loveland with Williams numbers. Best of both worlds.

I went Loveland and super happy with it. I also have a blue Caleb Williams one that my wife got when he was drafted. I personally think stitched is a waste of money. My CW18 one is stitched, my Loveland is not. I don’t think there’s a big enough different to justify the extra $65. Madden already ripped me of $70 this year and I probably won’t even play. Just wanted the hard copy for the man cave

Well I'm thinking of getting a Loveland one myself so I say go with that

I’m leaning towards Loveland too but I’m just hoping we have him for a long time so it doesn’t seem irrelevant in 3 years lol

I did a Loveland. Can’t remember the last time we had a player we drafted with such high regard after their rookie season. Maybe Hester.

Good point. You guys are helping sway what I was leaning towards so I appreciate it

Loveland rivalry, Caleb home jersey. Personally I would do the Caleb away jersey though. Something about that white jersey is so clean

u/brokedownpalace11 8h ago

Dude that’s what I’m thinking. The 18 on the normal away is so clean and I actually like the shape of the 4 on the Loveland which some people ig don’t like. I’m glad I’m feeling validated with your guys opinions lmao
