EndZoneCrew Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Well, its been about 4 years since my last jersey purchase and I am looking at getting a "throwback" jersey. The question is who. I have usually gone with a D-Lineman and it will be no different this time around. I already own a road "Schobel" jersey but after seeing the throwbacks again on Sunday, I think I need to upgrade. So.... who should it be?
Chandler#81 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'd recommend a 'throwback' player. You can't go wrong with an ex-player where you know how it all turns out. I have a Bledsoe, Spikes, Cowart and Losman jerseys hangin' in the closet that I don't even wear anymore...
Ned Flanders Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'm looking for a Lee Evans premier throwback...not the authentic, but one with the sewn on numbers. Anyone see them anywhere in WNY?
olivier in france Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'd recommend a 'throwback' player. You can't go wrong with an ex-player where you know how it all turns out. yeah like an OJ Simpson one!!!

I have usually gone with a D-Lineman and it will be no different this time around. I already own a road "Schobel" jersey but after seeing the throwbacks, I think I need to upgrade. So.... who should it be? I've kinda learned my lesson when it comes to buying jerseys. What you do is up to you, but I have stopped buying jerseys of current players. I really, REALLY want a Marshawn Lynch jersey, but I also really, REALLY wanted a Willis McGahee jersey, a Drew Bledsoe jersey and a London Fletcher jersey. Because I had purchased the previous three, I haven't purchased Marshawn's. Instead, I bought the "throwback" (and by that, I mean the jersey we wore just previous to the ones we wear now) Thurman Thomas jersey. I already had a Jim Kelly jersey. These guys will always be Bills (except for that one forgettable year that Thurman played with the 'Fins, but at least he came back and retired as a Bill) and as a result, I will never have to scramble to sell their jerseys on ebay for pennies on the dollar. You seem to prefer defensive linemen. Why not a Phil Hansen or a Bruce Smith?
Chandler#81 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 yeah like an OJ Simpson one!!! My son has one. An official jersey with sewn numbers and letters. He wore it at the Jag game. Takes a certain kind of guy to wear it. He took a lot of ribbing!!
Haven Moses Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Mike Stratton #58 Excellent choice. Perhaps Shane Nelson #57

I hear ya.....I thought about the old jersey of Bruce or Talley or Jeff Wright....but it's really hard to find ones that are not autographed. I also thought about getting their names on the throwback but I don't think it would look right since they never wore them. Looks like I am narrowing it down to Kyle Williams or Kelsay....I have a feeling that these guys will play out their careers here.....I have a sixth sense for that
ans4e64 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Why are you limiting it to a defensive lineman? I'd go Whitner, with Poz a close second.

I'm thinking of doing this myself.
HopsGuy Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Bob Kalsu Beat me to it Dave. #61 He was #77 at OU.
MarkAF43 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I put my vote in for Kyle Williams, he is playing well and he just signed an extension recently
Huuuge Bills Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Why not go for the best DT in Bills history? #70 Tom Sestak. (See my avatar)

I have a Bledsoe, Spikes, Cowart and Losman jerseys hangin' in the closet that I don't even wear anymore... you are dead on. every time i buy a jersey the player flames out. i am going to buy a throw back jersey # 34 thurman
santoro770 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Agreed with the Jersey purchase being a delicate situation. My Antwain Smith and #80 authentic Billy Brooks jersey don't get a lot of wear now a days. I did wear the Smith jersey to the Jags game though, maybe it's good luck.
EndZoneCrew Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Why not go for the best DT in Bills history? #70 Tom Sestak. (See my avatar) I actually thought about it! But the purchase has been made already!
Phil Hansen Forever Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'd recommend a 'throwback' player. You can't go wrong with an ex-player where you know how it all turns out. I have a Bledsoe, Spikes, Cowart and Losman jerseys hangin' in the closet that I don't even wear anymore... Hey, I love my #90 Hanson! Too bad you can't find more of the old stuff around. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit anymore. Dunlop disease got me.
EndZoneCrew Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Well....I was pleasantly suprised to get my brand spanking new #95 Kyle Williams throwback jersey from NFLshop.com in the mail today......oh yes!
