mvisit1 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ...and you paid REAL money for a REAL authentic (as in not purchased from eBay), would you sew on of these on it? http://cgi.ebay.com/Sean-Taylor-21-Memorial-Jersey-Patch-Redskins_W0QQitemZ270200169949QQihZ017QQcategoryZ24977QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Anyone else own a real authentic?

DGreenistheBest Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I would sew one on, yes. And I don't wash my jerseys; too many horror stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lamb Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 My answer... No. I would not sew any patches on it. Not the ST, 75th anniversary. Only because the patches are carefully placed and with out having the official dimensions for placement, it may look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvisit1 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Surely an experienced tailor could eye it up...If I brought pics for comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 You can wash your authentic jerseys. Make sure to wash in cold water with like colors or by itself. NO BLEACH. Drip dry. DO NOT PUT it in the dryer even if it says you can. I wash my authentics and have not had any trouble washing this way. If you know someone with a sewing machine, they can put it on. My wife has a sewing machine and would put one on mine if I asked her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here but only take it once a year, unless i get some ketchup or mustard on it of course tailgating :laugh: A authentic does not need to be washed unless you play football in it IMO, or starts to smell after a full season of use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontanaRed Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sorry, Mike, forgot to post re your jersey question. If you're going to wash the jersey I would be careful. I have an old Redskins sweatshirt with a patch on it, and it's puckered since the patch and shirt didn't shrink at the same rate. Looks ok after I iron it.

mvisit1 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thank you for all of your feedback! I have decided that it will be a treat to myself...WHEN the Skins win Sat, I will go to the FedEx Field HOF Store and by my 1st authentic...I have 3 premiers but I grad recently and I'm finally making real money...I first noticed the authentics with the 75th patch on sale on Redskins.com and I even saw the one I wanted at the HOF store the day after Christmas but I wasn't ready to buy it yet...It's a white Portis with the patch and then I'm gonna put my ST memorial patch on it too and wear it to the Super Bowl Party LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
