Don't know if they're real or not, but the design is pretty awesome.

since tech officially retired the fighting gobbler logo, I'm guessing this is just for fun

Yep, and the date says November 26, which is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving this year.

I thought about that after I posted. Bummer.

I think they're pretty cool looking and would like to see us in something similar down the road.

I think its just a mock up. Its cool but the Nov 26th date doesn't match up with any games on our schedule.

I think it's a case of TSL fishing for followers.

I will say that Aaron Moorehead posted the same pic of the cleats on his twitter account.

I saw that earlier...

I find it funny how often that website is hoodwinked by some legitimately terrible photoshop jobs. By no means is this one of the worst I've ever seen, but one look at the rear bumper on the helmet in this pic should be more than enough to out this as a bad fake.

Nike would never, ever allow something with that poor quality to be released. Its not a bad concept overall, but that's all it is, a fanmade concept.
