Patriots Announce Jersey Gurantee

In the event the player is no longer under contract (for example, is released, traded, retires, signs elsewhere) within one year of the jersey purchase, the customer can purchase a new jersey as described below at a 25% discount with proof of purchase. If the player is still under contract with the Patriots upon expiration of the one-year period, the Guarantee expires.

Does this matter? Would it change your thoughts about buying a jersey at the pro shop? Is 25% significant enough?

Well, they have already had to refund jerseys on a player being sent to prison.

And they had the Tebow debacle.

It's a start, but 25% isn't enough when you're paying over $100 for a freaking fancy t-shirt.

No kidding 25%? It's a rare scenario, why not go for the good PR and just swap them for free? Almost there, not quite.

I hate to defend the Patriots here, but, to my knowledge, it's better than what any of the other 31 teams are doing currently...

there must be a loop hole like it has to be a jersey they offer. and they only offer long term contract players and limit the selection.

but if you had a customized jersey, the offer is off the table.

it's a cute marketing gimmick, but i think people continue to buy from chinese websites or buy old players who were good.

Does it apply to my Steve Grogan #14 ?
