JCav06 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 What up fellas. first time poster but I read these forums on a regular basis. anyways, it seems like every time i get a redskins jersey, something always seems to happen to them (leave, released, retired, injury, etc.) it's a waste of 60 bucks going out and buying them knowing that in two years time they'll be gone. some recent examples: D. Green jersey bought a couple of years before he retired (yeah DG's timeless, but i want a player that's on the active roster) S. Davis jersey bought in 2001: released Champ jersey as a x-mas gift in 2002: traded to broncos LA jersey bought last year (throwback): injured for most of the year Coles jersey i got when he became a redskin: :finger: Smoot jersey: just signed with the vikings this is why you will never see me buy a sean taylor or a clinton portis jersey. Oh yeah, f*ck Coles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Not sure why anyone would buy a Skins jersey with a player's name on it. I never know why any fan would by any player's name on the jersey of his favorite team. We're in the free agency period. Players are no longer who you root for. Organizations are. All of my Redskin jersey's are custom made with MY name on it. As I will always be here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Complete Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I root for the org of course but come on, you don't root for the players? That doesn't make any sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pr11fan Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well Arrington will hopefully be safe for you, he should at the very least spend a large majority of his career here and will be considered a redskin when he retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my Redskin jersey's are custom made with MY name on it. As I will always be here . That is a good idea...I may just do that. I only own a Darrell Green jersey. I was about to buy a Champ jersey two years ago (had it in my hand) but decided to wait till he resigned. Then last year I wanted a Smoot jersey...but did the same thing. So at this rate I don't think I will ever buy another players jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The only Skins Jersey I've ever bought with a player being on the current roster is Lavar. I always get the old school players though. I have one with my name also. I have Riggins, D. Green, and even Ricky Ervins. I personally like my Ricky Ervins one the best as some may have seen those that are out. Its a throwback one. Nice deep burgundy. Its actually the uniform I wish the Skins would switch to. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Originally posted by More Complete I root for the org of course but come on, you don't root for the players? That doesn't make any sense! In that I root for the team to do well I root for the players. Fred Smoot is my FAVORITE player. My next Siberian husky will have an official registered name of, "Water runs over two-thirds of the planet, Smoot runs over the rest." Smoot for short . I will love it if Smoot does well elsewhere. But, I root for the team. The players come and go. I haven't rooted for a player since Darrell Green, who was the last, true, core Redskin. I'll root for a player again when the next core Redskin is revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Dog Night Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 :welcome: I know you want a jersey with someone on the active roster, but you may want to consider going with your own name or that of a former Redskin that will always be associated with the team. This way you'll never be outdated, just timeless. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCav06 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 of course i'm gonna root for the organization before the players, but i'm sure everybody here has a favorite current redskin. i'm just saying that i'm not gonna buy another player's jersey for fear of jinxing them. i might have to go with what somebody else suggested and wear a retired player's jersey like green's or monk's.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I plan on buying an Eli Manning, Antonio Pierce, and hopefully after today, a Plaxico Burress jersey. I don't care if they are only with the team for a year or two, I like having them. The only one that I have bought so far who left was Armstead but he was still with the Giants for a long time. I have Barber, Strahan, and Shockey. I hope to double that this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMagicJuan Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 the trick is to get a redskins jersey as soon as they sign a long term contract....ala Lavar/Jansen/Portis.....and get the Sean Taylor jersey, we all know he will be resigned when his contract is done!

NoCalMike Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have a Shuler, Bailey, & Coles jersey that now get to sit in the back of my closet. I also have an Arrington jersey that I hope can get a career's worth of usage. This offseason I plan on getting a Darrell Green jersey, as you can't really go wrong with #28.
