Brave Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 In a few threads recently a couple of funny items have popped up, so why not open it up to everyone. Surely we all have some interesting, unusual or perhaps even embarrassing Redskin stuff. Anyone care to share? Right now I have a bottle of Redskin shampoo under the sink in the bathroom right next to the last two of a box of Redskin band-aids.

Art Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 My craziest item isn't actually mine. On Tuesday night, I got home from work at midnight. I thought the wife was asleep, so I crept into the bedroom. She was awake, and said, I could turn on the lights. I did, and she was wearing spandex Redskins PJs. My wife. Unsolicited. Ahh, if every night was Tuesday night . ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 If they designed the spandex correctly, the feather in the emblem would be faux fig leaves for the wearer. Actually, I have something far more embarrasing. An authentic burgundy jersey with #20 stiched into it with "Hicks" on the back. How tf do you explain that?!?! ------------------ "Loosen up, Sandy baby.

Hog Fever Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 I mentioned this in one of the earlier threads: I had a Redskin bike. I think they used to sell them for all of the NFL teams through Sears. I guess it was around 81 or 82 but I'm not positive. It was a dirtbike style bike with a number plate on the front. I put a #44 on the plate Christmas morning while wearing a Redskin robe. My mother has the incriminating pictures as proof. My brother got a Colts bike that same Christmas.....no accounting for taste in some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 I have a Redskins Beer Stein. My other have took our skins bandannas and turned them into a nice 2 piece for home use only. ------------------ Take a sip of the Marty Kool Aid and Believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves On Warpath Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 I have a shot glass with the slightly older logo where the feathers curve around the circle surrounding the Indian head to the top of the ear hole. The newer design has the feathers dropping down more to the side of the ear hole. ------------------ Fight for Old D.C.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPSkins Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 I have this 6 foot long 8 inch wide scarf given to me by mommy for xmas back in the eighties. It alternates the colors in 4 inch strips and has the emblem at each end. The tassels are frayed and thinning like my hair. The white's are more tan now, the burgandy, however, refuses to fade. It does have fuzzies all over it only adding to the character. It smells like a cat had kittens in it even after hundreds of washings. I have little use of a scarf here in Dallas, especially a Redskins scarf you can see from a mile away. But hangs in glory in my bedroom on a pedestal coat rack in the corner. Not matter how many coats, jackets, etc. hang on the rack, the scarf still displays proudly below. I love this scarf. ------------------ As always, my opinions do not reflect the opinions of management and are based on ficticious opinions.

Om Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 - Can't for the life of me remember when/where I got this, but somebody once gave me a commemorative Coke bottle celebrating the 1983 [sic] Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins. Yeah, the game was technically in 1983, but seems to me we remember the ‘82 season as the good one. 1983 has some very bad connotations for me. The front has the Skins helmet on the neck, the front label a Lombardi Trophy, with "Washington Redskins" on top and "Super Bowl XVII Champions" underneath. On the back, there's a label with the dates & scores of all the games. Very cool. Can't imagine what kind of funky life forms might be evolving in the black stuff inside, though. Believe it or not, when I shake it, a few sad little bubbles still find their way to the top ... - A mini-helmet that began life as a planter. Wife gave it to me as an office-warming gift when I got my first one (office, that is). The plant's been dead & gone for years, so I'm left with this awkward little thing with a hole on top. Kinda goofy, I suppose, but you'd have to go through me (bring a lunch) to take it away ... - Somewhere in a box at home, I"ve got a piece of paper a classmate and I drew up (instead of listening to the teacher) in 5th grade. It's a remarkably poorly drawn pencil sketch of a Redskins helmet, the yellow one with the big "R," and underneath, in 10-year old chicken scratch, it says "6 - 3 and 1, hopefully 10 - 3 and 1 SOON. Yeah baby." I'm not proud of that one ... though I am proud that something made me keep it all these years. I guess today, 30 years later ... I know why.

RF4L Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 In addition to the traditional hats and shirts, I have a set of four plastic place mats and cardboard coasters, still unwrapped!, that my wife bought for me Xmas of '91. Do you remember what happened about four weeks later? Lombardi trophy numero tres. I think I'll ask her to get me something Redskin for Xmas this year.

indyskinsfan Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 Okay, I'll admit it, I have a Redskins Mug I used to drink for hot chocolate in -10 to -20 wind chills. It has a small pin hole in the bottom, so when you drink, it spills in the zipper area of your pants HotDog!!!! <FONT COLOR="Yellow">HTTR!!!</FONT c> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfanbu Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 Most embarassing... the Zubaz pants and Hat. Still got 'em and wear them on Holloween. Strange...Redskin Peanuts bag, matchbooks, pom poms Favorites..."Country Club" hat with bandana (4 years before Marty) I wear this to most games at the bar. Sentimental...Full Headress I use when I sing "Hail to the Redskins" after each score in front of 100 fans in the Palm Beach Fan Club.

Pete Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 Got a Heath Shuler jersey for my dog from a pet supply company. Go figure, I thought that the dog would be gone by now, and Shuler would be at the helm. Dog's going strong at 12. I also have a roll of Giants TP that may get some use real soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug near DC Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 I also have the Hog Brew and the Coke bottles from '87 I also have a six pack of Coke in cans from Super Bowl XXVI I have jerseys from Gus, Brad, Champ, and Heath errrrrr Bret Conway. (those stitched on names come off easy with a pen knife). 18 different Champ rookie cards, and all sorts of other things around the house. I even have an old gumball helmet with the "R" on the logo. Starting Sunday, there will be a cry for Husak to be the starter. ------------------ It's all about the <FONT COLOR="Maroon">BURGANDY</FONT c> and <FONT COLOR="YELLOW">GOLD</FONT c> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin West Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 I have a life size cardboard cut-out of Art Monk. Every Thanksgiving, I wrap an apron around its waist, a cook's hat over its head, and the first thing every one says after offering grace is: "Thanks, Chef Art, for this wonderful meal."

Riggo And The Hogs Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 I have set of Walkmen Headphones with two ear sized Redskin helmets covering the ear pads. It's no Art Monk cardboard cut-out, but I think it's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
