You are right too bad the cost just a little too much. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 that jersey will go along nicely with my M&N John Riggins throwback but M&N could do a lot better by making other skins throwbacks. ken houston, gary clark, art monk, bobby mitchell, charley taylor, dave butz just to name a few.

SkinsNatsFan Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm not too interested in buying eBay rip offs anyways (the alternative to shelling out the $250 - $300) I'm in the other school. I've always seen $250-$300 for any jersey a complete rip off. I don't have any problem with anyone who does spend that on a jersey. I just won't do it myself. To each his own.

fuji869 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 for that kind of dough, it would have to be burgandy I hear you. It is kind of funny, the Joe Theismann Jersey is burgundy and should be white and the Sonny Jersey will be white and should be burgundy. I am still contemplating it. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If you think of it as an investment, it's not so bad. If you take care of it, you can sell it later and it'll end up costing you less than that Ramsey or Arrington replica you bought two years ago.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 You'll get much less for it later on than how much you pay for it. They'll start showing up on ebay for $150. Their knockoffs will be around $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take care of it, you can sell it later and it'll end up costing you less than that Ramsey or Arrington replica you bought two years ago. I seldom disagree with you but I have to this time. Authentic jerseys are simply a very bad investment. Their only real value is to the person who bought it. Very few if any authentic jerseys can be resold at a later date for any profit unless signed by the player. Buy the jersey if you personally feel it is important to have an "authentic jersey". But even as you have pointed out, "authentic jerseys" are really not "authentic".....they are just a consumer sized jersey that closely resembles what the player wore. As for the white jersey....I would never buy it. I will always remember Sonny wearing Burgundy. Now if they sold a Burgundy jersey........nah.....I'll wait for the ebay knockoff. $275 is too much to pay for any shirt.....even a Redskins jersey.

I don't mean to imply you could or should invest in jerseys for profit. I'm saying if you do, and you buy an authentic jersey of a retired stand-out Redskins player, you can get close to what you paid, as opposed to dropping $75 on a replica of some current player. For example, I have an authentic #81 never worn, still new with tags, purchased at RFK stadium in the early 90s for $70 (back then, authentics were actually authentic, they were even made in the USA). I also have a Marshall gamer purchased at the stadium store for $89.95. I also have a Brunell gamer, whom I pray retires as a Redskin, lol. I bet I could sell those and get my money back easy. On the other hand, my Arrington and Ramsey replicas are worth maybe ten bucks. Regarding the Jurgensen, $275 is a boat load of money. I agree, I personally wouldn't spend that much. But if a limited number of them are made, they would become collectors items, and they may very well retain their value over time. I like Sonny. But I wouldn't want a white because he didn't wear white at home, and I wouldn't want a burgundy, because the Redskins today don't wear burgundy at home. So I guess I won't be buying a Jurgensen.

mcarey032 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I will take the ebay knock off or the reebok eqt jerseys myself. Not interested in forking down 3 bills for a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarey032 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I spent 46.00 for my sonny eqt jersey. Works out real well. I spent 46.00 on the joe theismann jersey as well. I can't complain overall. 2 jerseys for under 1 bill? I definitely take that action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually one of the better knock offs; it is all mesh like the Redskin Jerseys in 1987 but the numbers are sewn on and when Doug Williams played they were press on. I put the Super Bowl XXII patch on later (would not on a real $275.00 M&N Jersey). I know that they did not have the Super Bowl Patches on the jerseys during Super Bowl XXII but I thought it would be a cool addition. I only wear this jersey during my Super Bowl Party.
