Hi all. UK NFL fan here; I’ve decided to adopt the Commanders because I lived in DC for a summer a while ago. My question is: which players name should I get on my jersey? I have no criteria, I just wanted to get your thoughts.

    If you want to go historical, Darrell Green and Art Monk would be excellent choices. Both were amazing players and extremely good men – it’s highly unlikely either will ever do anything to make you regret the purchase. Both were on multiple Super Bowl-winning teams, as well.

    Of current players, Tress Way is a good option – high character, amusing personality, and he’s been on the team a while. He is a punter, though, so there’s a bit of humor in the selection. I think he’s a great choice.

    Terry McLaurin would also be good. He has well outperformed his draft position and is one of the best receivers in the league. Like the others, he’s a good guy, and I wouldn’t bemoan a Terry jersey even if he eventually winds up on another team (God forbid).

    I think your safest bet is one of the classics.

    Terry, Tress, and Sam Howell who be the next best bet.

    If you want something inexpensive, I recommend one of the guys that just got traded, like Chase Young. Same quality for half the price most likely

    I’d recommend getting a retired player’s jersey. Active players change so often that you could be stuck with a jersey of a player who know plays for a rival

    Jonathan Allen is probably going to be my next grab!

    But Terry, Taylor, Fletcher, Green are safe bets too!

    Tress Way would honestly be my pick, exemplifies everything you want in a commander. however, you being in the UK, people just wouldn’t understand why you would have a Tress Way, never mind a punter (maybe that’s why you should get it??).

    I personally love getting rookies because of the inherent risk, but also, if you truly believe in the pick, you’ve supported since day 1. Travelled to dc to go to my first ever commanders game this year, and got a Forbes jersey on the Thursday night massacre.

    Honestly, just remember that the NFL, and even more so the fans, are extremely short sighted. You may or may not have the player your wearing gone by the next off-season.

    All this to say, safest bet is Sean Taylor, Riggo, and past star big names. I’d also put in something for Santana Moss, just cause he’s the cowboy killer, and fuck those cowboys.
