I can't even look at my ex-player collection. Brad Johnson, Stephen Davis, Smoot, Bailey, Ramsey, Arrington (2 authentics!).

I've sworn off current players, I'm sticking with the legends. I'm tired of wasting my money.

I don't know what the Man Law case files say on this, but I'd think there has to be some kind of exception for former stars who played the bulk of their career with that team. IMO, Champ, Lavar, and and SDavis are all legit jerseys.

Ramsey, Brad Johnson and Smoot? Ugh.

If they retired with your team though, you should be allowed to wear them. I will never stop wearing my Sam Shade 70th Anniversary jersey. He was one of my favorite redskins. Him and Centers...

Yeah if they retired with the team that's ok. Unfortunately mine keep going to other teams.

Only if they meant a lot to your team and retired as yours. Some stipulations apply. Like Riggins is acceptable...even Monk. But someone that played for 1-4 seasons...no way. Davis can be overlooked, but the way he's trying to hang on in St. Louis is hurting him.

I'm convinced the Redskins team store has started selling replica Riggins jerseys (they already sell a bunch of old players stuff) because they realize that people are getting pissed about players leaving the team right after they buy their jerseys. I wouldn't be suprised if each year they add another old player to their replica supply.

On a side note: my buddy and I figured out that a great jersey to have, that we've only ever seen a handful of times, would be Brian Mitchell's. Maybe that will be the replica of choice for the team store next season.

I think the Skins have been slow to jump on the throwback bandwagon for whatever reason.

I see teams like the Bears where you can buy Butkus, Payton, and Sayers. It's about damn time we started releasing the legends.

Do you think that has anything to do with Snyder?

They should do the Hogs.

My husband and I were at the "Sports Fan Attic" store in Greensboro and they had the whole Steel Curtain line of jerseys. I told him, "don't even think about it."

I still have, and wear at times my origional Darrell Green #28 because it will never grow old. I'v had it for more than 20yrs.

On the subject of Ramsey's return, it's not likely Gibbs would consider bringing him back here. It would only serve to stir more public controversy which the team does not need at this time, nor do we need the services of Ramsey, and the same goes for Smoot.

Why bring back Ramsey when we could pick up Jeff George for vet. min.

[Redskins_P]

Where's Offiss???? I thought he would've jumped all over this thread.

people wear outdated jerseys cause they don't have the money lying around to buy new ones. Jerseys are a rippoff, people are just trying to get their money's worth, even if it is a faux pas, I don't criticize.

I'm not criticizing, I'm just pointing a finger and openly laughing.

If someone has the money to go to games, I think they can afford some extra cabbage for a new jersey, or that's what christmas and birthdays are for, hit up the wife!

I don't have the money to go to games........i get tickets from friends at the end of the season. I don't have the money to be buying jerseys every season. I let my gfriend wear my ramsey jersey at the jag's game. Better to have old jersey at games than none at all. Gotta get those colors flowing throughout the crowd.

With the way players come and go on this team, you never know from one year to the next who's going to be here. I agree it's a rip off, but some may not see it that way. It may not be that people who go to games can't afford to buy a Jersey either, it could be they feel they spend enough otherwise, and spending for Jersey's is a futile experiment based on turnover. I've been going to Redskin games for more than fifty years, I can afford to buy Jersey's, but I'm not going to do it.
