So, UD posted a bunch of non mock-ups from black, the first anticipated high end product of the year. As you can see, there is one major problem with these cards of the 2009 rookies.
Yes, they are all STILL in college uniforms. Now, I can imagine that there are a few reasons why this may be the case, and for their sake, I hope its one of them. First, is that these cards could have all been signed at the rookie premiere, which means that pro uniforms could not be possible – something that could have been avoided with a later release date. Second is that in order for the cards to be signed in time, they needed to have the cards out to the rookies as soon as possible. Again, a circumstance that could be fixed with a later release date.
Dont get me wrong, the cards look BEYOND awesome, but the college unis really dont sit anywhere close to right with me. At least the other stuff from the veteran stars looks fucking great enough to make me forget about some of my anger. I will definitely be chasing after a few AD cards from this set, though I will avoid the Harvin cards if its still Florida Gators stuff all the way. I guess college uniform pictures are a trade off at this point in the year for on card sigs, but I cant help but feel that this was a little rushed if it could have been done right later on. We easily could have waited.
