FS: Long Sleeve Jersey - Sammy Baugh or any number/size $80

[skipperpk]

Hey guys,

I dont have them yet, but in my other thread asking if anyone had a Sammy Baugh Long Sleeve jersey that I could buy, someone mentioned a shop that can make the custom jerseys. Problem is, they can only make a minimum of 10 for $75 each (plus a few bucks per jersey). I would love to put the money up for these bad-boys if there were 9 other people that could commit to buying one at cost when I get them in. If I get a good number of responses, Ill go ahead and order them. When I get them in, ill sell them to the first 9 people to respond.

Just to clarify, these jerseys are nowhere to be found on the internet. Search ebay, the only ones on there are signed Baugh jerseys for $300+. There may not be anymore chances to grab one of these so let me know ASAP!

Thanks guys.

UPDATE: I completely missed the fact that I will be able to pick any number, or any size for each of the 10 jerseys, so If you want any particular player from that era, post it here and I will order them once I get 9 (or close to 9) requests. ANY PLAYER'S NUMBER, ANY SIZE, $80

Please post in this thread confirming your desired number and size so I can place the order. there are 7 spots left for custom jerseys!!!

List of Confirmations:

Me Baugh M

Dad Baugh XL - friend, not in this thread

Donelly Baugh L - friend, not in this thread

Khlav Battles or Edwards 52 XL

Khlav's bro Pending

MBWS Baugh M

Jameyny Baugh XL

Sonny9TD Baugh XXL

Skyman Baugh Pending

So I have more than enough to make the order, but I still need info from Khlav, Khlav's brother, an email address from MBWS, an email address and size from Skyman, and some info from Rooney.

This is turning into a pretty pricey order, if any more people tag on, I might need to start asking for money up front just to make the order itself. I know people would feel pretty hesitant about paying for it that far in advance, but I can set up some sort of buyer/seller contract stating that I will not run off with the money, and you wont bail out, or something along those lines. Keep that in mind if you still want a jersey.

Thanks!!

Do you have any pics of the jersey's these folks do? I am interested in a Sammy Baugh jersey and it is tough to find a true M&N jersey these days.

This is a picture of one they have already made, and had signed.

Ive been talking back and forth with these people because I want a good quality jersey, not some letters printed on a burgundy t-shirt. The guy assured me that the letters are sewn on, the jersey is 100% polyester, the shoulders are reinforced, and they did everything they could make it as era correct as possible. I think these people are pretty serious about it. They specialize in making unbranded jerseys for high-school teams and charity events, so they ARE making actual jerseys. And thats how they get away with the old long sleeve jerseys, they didnt have any logos or brands on them so theres no copyright issues.

[Slingin33]

In your other thread, you said they emailed you a pic of a Dudley. Can we see what that looks like? I have gone to their signings and I don't think the Baugh on the jersey is one they had made. I was at their Huff signing and here is what they had:

unfortunately the photo was pretty small, but check it out and see.

[panel]

Looks like a Hockey jersey

[skipperpk]

Well, its a long sleeve jersey, the dimensions of long sleeve jerseys cant be THAT different across the board. Hocky, vintage football... I guess thats it, but how different can 2 long sleeve jerseys really be?

Either way, its got the reinforced shoulders, which is cool. Anyone else interested? Looks like I only have 1 or 2 people possibly interested. Would people be more inclined to buy one if I already had them? It would be a hit to my bank account, so I just have to be confident that I could get rid of them before I put myself in debt.

[Khlav Kalash]

If you get enough people interested, I think I would be in for an Edwards or a Battles. They don't have to have the name on the back, do they? I don't think that is historically accurate (I am not sure when the 'Skins started doing it, but my Baugh jersey does not have a name on it.) Let me know if you are going to order.

Khlav Kalash

[skipperpk]

Well, Im not sure if they could make 10 different jerseys. I would LOVE to get 10 different 1937 skins jerseys, but I think the deal is I have to buy 10 identical Sammy jerseys.....

unless you want to sell me your baugh jersey

[Khlav Kalash]

"We actually supply unsigned jerseys to other dealers for their events. We also supply many former NFL players jerseys for their foundations. We recently had a “Bullet Bill” Dudley jersey in that style made (picture attached). We could place an order for you with a minimum of 10 jerseys. They can have different numbers and be different sizes." - isn't this what you posted in your other thread? Is this the same place you are ordering from?

[skipperpk]

Wow, I totally missed that one!

So yes, If you want an Edwards AND a Battle, I will be closer to my goal

Ill change the title of the thread now...

[Khlav Kalash]

Come on people, this is a great chance to own your very own copy of the jersey of the greatest Redskin of all time. For all of you who voted Darrell Green the all-time Redskin Legend in Channel 9's ridiculous poll, Sammy Baugh:

Led the NFL 6 times in Passing (tied for record).

Led the NFL 4 times in Punting (tied for record).

Led the NFL once in Defensive Interceptions

Led the NFL in Passing, Punting, and Interceptions in 1943 (the first player to lead the League on all three sides of the ball, 'Bullet' Bill Dudley is the only other player to ever achieve this feat.)

Still holds the record for most yards per punt for a season, and is second all-time for career yards/punt (a record he held for half a century).

Still holds the record for highest average gain in a game.

Is second all-time in completion percentage for a season, a record he held for more than 35 years.

Still holds the record for most interceptions in a game (tied with many others).

With a 16 season career, is the second longest tenured Redskin of all time, behind only Darrell Green (just to do the inane 'comparing stats across eras', Baugh had more interceptions in a game, in a season, per game played, and has almost 40% more return yards per interception than Green.)

Records from http://www.nfl.com/history/randf

[skipperpk]

Ok, now I only need 8 other people to reserve a jersey, I might hold on to a Baugh AND Bullet Bill!

Here's an article on the 1937 Championship Game:

Bears bow to Baugh, RedskinsWashington claims NFL title

By George Strickler | Tribune staff reporter

December 12, 1937

Washington's Redskins, skimming over the frozen turf of Wrigley Field on the wings of Sammy Baugh's unerring passes, won the professional football championship of the world yesterday by defeating the Chicago Bears, 28 to 21, in the fifth annual National league playoff before 15,878.

Three touchdown passes by Baugh in the third period climaxed one of the finest demonstrations of individual play in the history of the game and qualified the Redskins as professional football's representative in The Tribune's All-Star contest against the college All-American's next summer.

Baugh Completes 18 Passes

Baugh, former Texas Christian half back and captain of The Tribune's 1937 All-Star team, reached new heights yesterday as he led Washington to its first league championship with the cooperation of those expert pass receivers, Wayne Millner, Cliff Battles, Ed Justice and Charles Malone.

Baugh threw thitry-three passes, assuming the brunt of Washington's offensive burden when precarious footing, even in the basketball shoes in which both teams played, curtailed the effectiveness of Battles' running ability. He completed eighteen of these passes for a total gain of 335 yards.

The 15,878 spectators, lured out into the numbing cold by the prospect of seeing Baugh, the game's greatest passer, stood and acclaimed the elongated Texan with thunderous applause as he left the field late in the fourth quarter, cheering the man for his performance and the performance for its matchless brilliance. It was recognition richly deserved and sincerely given.

Score Tied Three Times

As a contest, the game rivaled the first National league playoff held at Wrigley Field in 1933 when the Bears, eleven of whom participated in yesterday's spectacle, defeated the New York Giants, 23 to 21. The score yesterday was tied three times and the lead changed hands three times in a rapid succession of sensational plays.

After passing forth-three yards to Battles on Washington's first play from scrimmage, Baugh completed three consecutive passes to set up the touchdown on which the Redskins took a 7 to 0 early lead in the first period. Battles went over from the 7 yard line for the score and Riley Smith, a former Tribune All-Star from Alabama, added the extra point.

Manders Goes Over

The Bears tied the score four plays later on a ten yard smash by Jack Manders, the league's leading point maker, and his point after touchdown.

Late in the period they forged to the front on Bernie Master's thirty-seven yard pass to Manders. The extra point was again added by Manders and the Bears, seeking to regain the title they lost to the Giants in the famed rubber shoe playoff game onf 1934, led at the half, 14 to 7.

Shivering spectators had hardly returned from under the stands after the intermission when Baugh unleashed a fifty-five yard touchdown pass to Millner, former Notre Dame end and also a Tribune All-Star in 1936. This occurred on the fifth play of the third quarter. Riley Smith kicked the extra point to tie the score. Thirteen plays later, the Bears regained the lead, winding up an unbroken march of seventy-two yards from the kickoff with Masterson's three yard pass to Eggs Manske for a touchdown.

Redskins Tie It Again

Echoes of the resounding cheer sent up by the Bear partisans were still reverberating off nearby apartment buildings when Baugh and Millner wiped out the advantage with the most spectacular play of the contest. Baugh passed twenty-nine yards to Millner and the fleet end beat Bronko Nagurski and Manders in a race for the goal. The play covered seventy-seven yards and with R. Smith's tenth consecutive point after touchdown, tied the score for the third time.

Several minutes later Baugh capped his superb performance by producing the touchdown that eventually was to decide the game and the championship. He calmly faked a pass to Malone. Then, fading back eight yards, he fired a long pass to Half Back Justice, who completed a thrity-five yard gain with an eleven yard run to the goal.

Baugh's passing was made all the more effective by the flawless generalship of R. Smith and an offense designed to exploit the Texan's talent. While the Bears strove desperately to score on a series of long high passes by Ray Buivid and Masterson, R. Smith broke receivers into clear repeatedly by strategically switching from long to short tosses, thus keeping the Bear secondary in a continual state of bewilderment.

Bear Passes Fall

The turning point in the game came early in the fourth quarter when the Bears, trailing 28 to 21, reached Washington's 24 yard line on a 32 yard pass, Buivid to Pug Rentner, who was a member of the Redskins last year when, representing Boston, they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers in the playoff at New York.

The Bears resorted to four consecutive passes here, ignoring the running attack with which they had blasted their way to their third touchdown. All four were broken up and they surrendered the ball on downs.

Later in the period the Bears experienced their most disheartening break when, after recovering Millner's fumble on their own 14 yard line, they advanced seventy-nine yards in five plays to the Redskins' 7 yard line. Masterson went back to pass on third down and when he was trapped he slipped trying to elude Big Turk Edwards, losing seven yards. A fourth down pass into the end zone fell incomplete.

Fight Breaks Out

The final, futile challenge began with Keith Molesworth's thirty-five yard pass to Richard Plasman, Rookie end, who came to blows with Baugh and was pummeled by Redskin substitues when Baugh forced him out of bounds in front of the Washington bench. This set-to, in which both teams participated, was the only outward manifestation of the intense rivalry and fierce play which characterized the game.

The Bears had the better line, except for the ends, where Millner and Malone played superby for sixty minutes. But the Redskins had Baugh.

Baugh began passing as soon as Washington took the ball from the Bears in the first quarter. Nolting's thirty-eight yard punt had gone out of bounds on the Redskins' 8 yard line. Baugh dropped back into punt formation and faded into the end zone as bear line men charged in. He tipped a short pass to Battles and the big half back went forty-three yards to the Bears' 49 yard line.

Redskins March to Goal

The Bears braced and an exchange of punts followed, ending up on Washington's 47 yard line.

Baugh's first and second down passes were incomplete, but his third pass went to R. Smith for fourteen yards. He followed with and eighteen yard toss to Pinckert, putting the ball at the Bears' 21 yard line. His third consecutive completion netted six yards, R. Smith taking the ball on the 15 yard line. Baugh got three yards inside Right Tackle Bjork and Battles made the third first down in the march with a two yard plunge to the 10 yard line. Battles added three more on a smash, them Manders knocked down Baugh's flat pass to him. On third down Battles took the ball from Baugh on a weak side reverse and as Wilson smashed in from his right end position, Battles slipped outside him for seven yards and the touchdown. R. Smith kicked the ball into Waveland avenue, adding the extra point.

Bears Tie Score

Nolting brought the kickoff back eighteen yards to the Bears' 28 yard line and got two yards on a wide end run to the left. With a lead, the Redskins substituted Justice for Pinckert to strengthen their pass defense, but on the first play, Masterson dropped back from under the center and tossed straight up the field to Manske, who cut over the right and ran 15 yards to the Washington 18 yard line. It was a gain of fifty-two yards and only Battles' great speed prevented the play from going for a touchdown.

Nagurski then went outside Right Tackle Barber and ran over Baugh for eight yards. Manders then jumped inside Left Tackle Edwards on a quick opening play from a man in motion formation, ran right at Battles and charged over the half back for a touchdown. His successful placekick for the extra point tied the score at 7 to 7.

Washington advanced twenty-nine yards in five plays after Manders had kicked off over the goal line for a touchback. Baugh broke off tackle twelve yards, passed to Malone for five and lobbed a shovel pass to Millner for thirteen yards on an end around on consecutive plays before Wilson intercepted his pass on the Redskins' 49 yard line.

Manders made four, then five yards on quick opening plays from a man in motion and Nolting added three on a similar attack to make it first down on the 37 yard line. Manders broke into the clear past Battles on the next play and took a pass from Masterson. Wilson took Battles out of the play with a perfect block just as the Redskin lunged for Manders and Manders went twenty yards to a touchdown. Manders added the extra point to put the Bears ahead for the first time, 14 to 7.

Millner Scores on Pass

Washington tied the score on the first five plays of the third period, starting from the 32 yard line where Irwin had been brought down with the kickoff. Irwin got two yards. Baugh passed seven to Millner and Irwin made it first down on the Redskins' 45 yard line with a six yard smash off the weak side. Baugh rushed up the to line and threw a short jump pass to Millner in the flat at the left, but Millner dropped the ball.

On the next play Millner cut across through the secondary from his left end position and eluded Manders to take Baugh's bullet pass for twenty yards. Millner beat Manders in a thirty-five yard race for the goal line, going over just as Masterson got up to tackle him. R Smith added the extra point and the score was tied, 14 to 14.

Bear power then unleashed itself for its one devastating demonstration of the day and blasted all before it, as the Chicagoans marched back into the lead. Manders ran over two tacklers to bring the kickoff back twenty-three yards to the 28 yard line. Nagurski drove outside tackle for six yards, and Manders bowled Baugh out of the way to go twenty-three yards on a quick opening play.

Nolting jammed into the line for eight yards. After Manske just missed reaching Masterson's long pass over the secondary, Nolting added two more yards on a quick opening play inside tackle, making it first down on the Redskin 35 yard line. Nagurski charged into Edwards, blew him back on his bloomers, and bullied his way nineteen yards to the 14 yard line, on a man in motion play. Manders added four, then repeated inside tackle for five. Nagurski's two yard plunge produced the fourth first down in the drive and put the ball on the 3 yard line.

Bear Pass Scores

He attempted to go outside Edwards on the next play, but when trapped he lateraled to Masterson, who fumbled. Masterson recovered the ball and fired a forward pass to Manske, but it was incomplete. Another pass failed, but on third down with the Redskins massing an eight man line to stop Nagurski and Manders, Masterson passed over center to Manske for the touchdown, completing an unbroken march of seventy-two yards. Manders added the extra point.

The lead endured for less than a minute. R. Smith returned the kickoff fourteen yards to the 23 yard line. On first down Baugh faded back and passed twenty-nine yards to Millner, who started up the field with Nagurski and Manders in pursuit. Nagurski was no match for the fleeing end, but Manders was able to get his hands on him as he went across the goal line. It was a gain of seventy-seven yards, and when R. Smith added the extra point the score was tied for the third time.

The Bears received the ensuing kickoff and Manders made thirteen yards on second down to reach midfield before the Redskin line braced and forced Nolting to punt over the goal line for a touchback. From this point the Redskins started goalward.

Start Winning March

Irwin made nine yards through center from a modified spread formation to get the winning march under way. The same play was good for seven yards, and a first down. Irwin added two off tackle and Baugh's pass was knocked down. The drive appeared to have spent itself. A ten yard pass, Baugh to Malone, on third down, kept it alive, however. Baugh passed eight yards to Millner and Irwin made a yard on successive drives.

It was first down on the Bears' 42 yard line. Baugh flipped a snap pass to Irwin for seven yards. On second down Riley Smith, calling the play that baffled the Giants so repeatedly last week, sent Baugh back to pass. The elongated Texan calmly faked to Malone, then faded back five more yards and threw a long pass to Justice, who had slipped away from Masterson. Justice ran eleven yards to the goal line, completing a thirty-five yard gain. R. Smith brought the score up to its final status of 28 to 21 by making his eleventh consecutive point after touchdown in two games and his twenty-sixth of the season.

[Khlav Kalash]

Kind of big? Mine was a 56 when I bought it and I could have worn it as a dress (if I had better legs), and this one is a 60. No wonder he put the size in such tiny print.

[Mark The Homer]

Yeah, but you could get a seamstress to redo it smaller with the money you save.

[Slingin33]

To bad you can't see the collar tags better. It would be nice to know if it were the real deal or a knock off.

Do you really think it will sell for less than $80 since it is autographed (although I don't know for sure about the signature being real or not).

[Khlav Kalash]

"Yeah, but you could get a seamstress to redo it smaller with the money you save." - That is assuming you could get this possibly dubious jersey for $13.50; the last 5 Baugh jerseys on eBay have sold for an average of $138.68.

Oops, I missed the one that sold for $56; the last 6 averaged $124.90.

[skipperpk]

I was in that bidding war for the $56 one. the guy who made the first bid Probably put his max bit really high. I bid a few times, but was immediately outbid each time. Wasnt sure how much longer I could keep going.

I would rather have one that fits too And even if I did get it for $56, I could never actually wear a signed baugh jersey!

[Khlav Kalash]

I am not saying that the autographs are fake, but does it strike anyone else as strange that there are the same number of 'signed' Baugh jerseys for sale or sold in the last two weeks on eBay (seeing as he supposedly gave his last signing 3 years ago) as there are signed Doug Williams jerseys?

[Slingin33]

I think these guys save them to sell on the holidays. I will bet you that when he dies, you will see a bunch more.

[Khlav Kalash]

Anyway, to get back to the original point of the thread: sign up to get a Sammy Baugh jersey!! Or get Hall of Famers Turk Edwards, Cliff Battles (two of the three players that went all the way from the Boston Braves to the Washington Redskins), or Wayne Millner. Heck, be different and get a "look out, here comes Double-O" Steve Bagarus (the only Redskin to ever wear 00). Get a 37 jersey for the first year of the Washington Redskins and the first NFL title. Sign up for something!

[skipperpk]

Thanks Khlav!

Im going to start it off and confirm that I want:

(1) Sammy Baugh Jersey (not sure of sizing, but medium or 48)

(1) Bullet Bill Dudley (same size as Baugh)

Once I get 10 of these, Ill make the order!

[Khlav Kalash]

Sign me up for one (either Battles or Edwards, not sure which, but I'll let you know before you place the order) in 52/XL. I'd love to get all three of the other HOFers from that era (and you NEVER see their jerseys on eBay), but that's a lot of dough.
