WARNING TO YOUNG SKINS FANS: Only buy old school

[Elfsdad]

You can't go wrong with Riggins. I like the idea of a Dave Butz jersey, back when weighing 300 pounds really meant something. That might have to be my next investment... in 2009, when this CBA and revenue sharing nonsense is gone and we can get back to playing (and watching) football again.

It sounds to me like we may be entering some crazy alternate universe where wearing on of those personalized jerseys with your own name on the back is cool. Just the thought of that makes me want to grow a mullet.

I am with you on this. I use to wear Steven Davis, then Champ, and now LaVar. I am in the process of getting a Cooley authentic, so I'll give it one more try. But I am definately going to invest in an old school of someone.

I have to say this : I will proadly wear my #56 Lavar jersey every now and then. He will always be a Redskin in my eyes. I have a feeling that we will see ALOT of #56 jerseys on Sundays!! I think we should wear them on opening day next season.

I gave up on authentic jerseys a long time ago. Now I buy replica jerseys on sale(these are usually the one nobody else wants). I bought a Brunnell replica last year for $25 while he was still a backup. Before the first half ended I had a starting QB jersey.

I feel that our two starting tackles are at that level.

I'm not sure who I'm going to get, but I'm seriously starting to lean toward an old-timer. However, like a couple of others in this thread, I might give one of the new guys one more chance. Maybe Washington. Worse comes to worst, it will always say "Washington" on the back...

If I were a young Redskin fan I would wear a burgungy sweater vest with Indian Head Logo and matching pledge beanie.

After being burned by 21, 24 & 48, I'm sticking with 44 and 28.

I ran out and ordered a custom made No. 56 "LaVar" jersey. I then got another "Arrington" No. 56 as a gift. Total cost, probably close to $150. Now Im down to my 2 Darrell Greens and my Riggins. That's it, done, never ever ever again! I don't care if Walter Payton returns from the dead, plays for the Skins, and runs for 2,000 yards in 3 consecutive seasons, I will never, ever acquire Redskin merchandise for any new era player again. Yep, next purchase will be a Gary Clark No. 84, a Monk No. 81, maybe a Dave Butz. Im broke, and Im pissed.

Part of this is Arrington's fault. He made the contract discrepancy a public issue. He also did not live up to the expectations of a 70 million dollar deal.

I liked Lavar and I wished he had been able to stay but if they can find another Marcus Washington or fill another need by letting him go, the team is better off.

Gibbs is doing exactly what he set out to do by coming back. Look how close the team is now. All of the current players (excluding Lavar) agreed to restructure their deals to help the team. You cannot ask for a better core group of guys.

If your the jinx, why did it take you 7 years to get a Michael Westbrook jersey?

In today's NFL you rarely see a player stay with one team for his entire career. Old school jerseys are definitely the way to go.

I can kiss my 2 Arrington authentics good-bye.
