yall Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Pretty much every time I buy a jersey, the player leaves within a year. Poz, Whitner, Fitz, Morris (yeah that's right - Sammy Morris! ) etc. So if there is anyone you'd like to ensure isn't on the roster next year, convince me to buy their jersey.

Chuck Wagon Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I have a Whitner I want to remove the nameplate from (one of the authentic from China knock offs) but I haven't worn that since my wife got me a Thurman jersey a couple of years back for my birthday.

Ever consider buying a Brady jersey? (Sammy Morris was awesome by the way) Edited April 30, 2015 by Metal Man
yall Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Ha! Never thought of that, but it would have been worth a try. At least if it didn't work I'd have a Brady jersey to dress up a mannequin and burn him in effigy.
Rubes Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Funny but related story. This past holiday season, my mother-in-law (who lives in Illinois) was asking if there were any particular gifts I was interested in. I thought that was really nice of her, and I figured it would be reasonable to suggest a Sabres t-shirt from the online store, since I didn't have one. So I picked out three different ones, emailed her with the links to all three numbered #1, #2, and #3, and said I'd be interested in any of them, but the one I liked most was #2. Despite me thinking this was pretty simple and explicit (pick one, click the link, you're done), somehow my mother-in-law only chose to read a few select words from the email and had it in her mind that I would only be interested in Buffalo Bills gear, completely ignoring whoever these "Sabres" are. And links? What links? She figured I must be talking about a Buffalo Bills jersey, and I mentioned the #2, so that must be what I want. So yeah, I opened up the gift to reveal a brand new Dan Carpenter #2 Buffalo Bills jersey. It took me a while to figure out what the story was and why I was looking at a kicker's jersey, but once we pieced it together it was hilarious. We still get a big laugh out of it. I'm wondering if I'm the only one with a Carpenter jersey. I wonder if someone told Dan that somebody bought his jersey. Either way, I can't wait to wear it to a game.

Did you ever put on your Sammy Morris and level a buddy wearing your Whitner? Edited April 30, 2015 by Jamie Nails
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I give up buying current player's jerseys as well. I'll buy a McCoy "jersey" t shirt though for 30 dollars
DC Tom Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Can Pegula sell Bills merchandise when he sells Sabres merchandise too?
Fadingpain Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 NO WAY! I learned my lesson back in '83 when I dropped the big bucks on that Matt Vandenboom jersey. Never again. (That was a joke; was just reviewing the 1983 draft class and noting how we drafted a long list of nobodies. Other than Jim Kelly and Darryl Talley that is!).
bladiebla Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 What I'd like to know is which 3 people bought those McCoy jersey's!

FLbills Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Or get a Williams jersey with numbers to be put on at a later date. Or velcro #'s, that way you would have like what 4 or 5 jerseys
Rubes Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 lol great story! Actually a pretty cool jersey to own, imo! That's outstanding. Wear it with pride! Seriously, I'm already trying to figure out which game it will be this year. And just remember, if you see some dude at the Ralph wearing a #2 Carpenter jersey, come say hi cause it could only be me!
