cr02pica Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I was planning on purchasing a Sammy Watkins jersey once he decided on his number. Now, since he's selected number 14, I was hoping to re-purpose my Fitzpatrick jersey. Anyone know of a good place to pick up NFL name plates with stitched on lettering? I found the website The Name Changer but don't know how reputable they are, or if they even look anywhere close to an original. But the price seems fair, $25 for a new name plate instead of $100+ on a brand new jersey. Anyone purchase anything from them before? Or any other ideas for getting a Watkins name plate?

Your best bet is to take it to a local sewing place (in Williamsville there's a place called "Stitch Witchery" that does it) and have them remove the letters and replace them. It'll probably cost you $15 or $20...I did this with a hockey jersey once.
elroy16 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Good find with the website. I've got a Lee Evans, Lynch, and now Stevie jersey that are just sitting in the closet. The Lynch one is a little old, but I might have to look into putting Williams on there.
NoSaint Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 cr02pica is cheap! Is Russ? Trying to save money on draft picks?!?
cr02pica Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 cr02pica is cheap! Not cheap...$250 for a jersey is ridiculous!
CountryCletus Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I just posted almost the same thing in another thread, LOL!!!
cr02pica Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 For those interested I posted this on another forum I belong to and found a site which everyone gave some pretty excellent reviews for. It is $40 for the name plate, however, and you have to stitch it on yourself. But for those who have an authentic and want to re-purpose it, might not be a bad option, better than the $250 Nike chargers for the elite jerseys. Eastern Lettering
White Linen Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I have so many jersey's in the old styles that the new player couldn't have worn. For that reason I'm moving past changing the name plate.

CountryCletus Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I have connections that may or may not be in this country... For $40 I can get you an almost-thentic jersey... If it's personalized or not a player they are currently producing jerseys for, they will custom make one for around $60-$75
