Not interested in the slightest with that high of a price tag.

I actually love it, just think it’s too expensive. $175? Yep. 350? Nope.

Ok so I’m not alone. My knee braces wear through pants so quick I can’t justify spending that much on gear...

I love how it looks though.

I am just guessing this is going to be a massive flop for Answer.

Possible this will be a small production run, not unlike the Star Wars fox helmet, but damn that gear is for an extremely small demographic.

Need someone who digs hi-viz, throwback, and has a decent sized checkbook....$350 is nuts, but what the hell do I know?

Does this kit come with complimentary bleach-blonde mullet, wife-beater t-shirt, nut-hugging shorts, a futon, and a 350 square foot studio apartment on Manhattan Beach? Cause it should. Good lord, people, this time period wasn't exactly known for it's timeless style. We can, we MUST, do better.

Usually the retro gear sets look good but that looks horrible. I would not even consider buying a set.

Also everybody: That's ugly and expensive

Its undeniably expensive. That’s like $500+ CAD. More expensive than seven and doesn’t have all the technology.

The retro styling reminds me of XTREME brand gear..

I could see this stuff being released as LE gear; but even then, not at Shift Blue Label pricing.. yikes..

My only problem with it is, well there’s 3.
1) Price.
2) The splashed paint area on the ab of the jersey does not line up with the sleeves.
3) The Answer logo should be over the front of the thigh on the pants, and much larger.

IMO the original was petty legit. Also I am a Answer fan, had a few sets as a kid in the 80’s.

I love the look but these gear companies are crazy thinking that stuff is going to sell.

They could at least give us the look on the cheaper pant, even if the pro guys get the higher end version. Then it might sell.

That Bowers intro video has more of a 80s hair metal vibe than a 90s vibe.

I like the modern take on retro gear. I do however miss the large cotton collars on the jerseys they had back in the day.

That alone screams retro.
