Same here! I bought it on the super sale @ Fanatics last week. $40 for a stitched jersey ain’t so bad! I did reach out to them for the jersey assurance program, but they only offer the cost of the purchase, so still would need to pony up another $120 for a current player jersey. I think I’ll just keep this one and look into either replacing the name plate, or just owning it and wearing it with pride.
Just do what I started doing and duct taping the names with whoever the current player is.
Then when the name changes again, duct tape that. When you go to games, both home and away, people buy you beers. Bars? The same. You can now recycle all the sweet ass gear you had when they were the Washington Previous Names.
In the words of Littlefinger, “let me give you some advice b*stard. Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor. And it can never be used to hurt you.”
I have a McNabb jersey someone gifted me as a joke the year after Washington traded for him and saw an opportunity. Still rocking that terd, now it’s just a Howell jersey.
Embrace the apathy and make Sundays enjoyable again.
I’ve seen this done before, especially with our QB situation the last 20 years. I’ll have to give it a shot.
And by the way, Tyrion Lannister quoted that, not Littlefinger!
At least you got it on discount.
Weren’t these discounted anyways for being the old name? At least it wasn’t full price
