I have a Moulds, Bledsoe, Winfield.

What should I do with them? I can use the room in my closet. Good thing they are all replicas. And good thing I put a lifetime ban on myself on buying any other sports jersey with a player's name & number. I go generic now. So this will be an issue of the past.

I still wear my Smith and Kelly ones because they were so good for this team for so long.

My Bledsoe one- I still have it but I haven't worn it since he left. It just sits there on the closet shelf. I'll probably either try to change the name if Parrish turns out to be good, or just use it to play backyard football with my friends.

Only one I have left after ditching my replicraps is....

E-Mo #80 home authentic... Since it was Ebay bought I didn't pay a lot, but it's still a nice jersey... :(

Not sure what to do with it. It's not in my character to wear a player who's departed in such a manner's jersey.

20 years from now, they'll be $300 throwback jerseys.

Use your melon.

I'd feel bad if some poor person had to resort to wearing an obsolete authentic Bills jersey. I refuse to do that to anyone!

And $300 in 20 years will be like $10 right now! :snicker:

Keep them. I must have about 8 jerseys between me & wife of players that moved on to other teams. The way i see it is they we're buffalo bills at one time and that's why i still claim.

I am going to try to change the nameplates on mine. If I can find the lettering, my mother in law is a wizard on the sewing machine.

I have Flutie, Bledsoe, Henry, Price, Bruce Smith, Bryce Paup, and McGahee.

I'd say that it's not looking good for McGahee.

Take a dump, wipe your arse with them, then burn them. That is about what they amount to.

Depending on the player, I usually dump them off at the Goodwill/Salvation Army whatever. Except for the Rob Johnson one I owned. Yeah I was that stupid. I was going to celebrate the birth of the follwing season (when he left) by getting really smashed and ripping and stomping the P.O.S. out in the apartment parking lot. Then I was going to burn the f**ker. Good thing my wife tossed it first, otherwise I may have had to fork out even more cash on bail bond. I was going to go off.

These days, I don't buy jeresys. I want another authentic one but I think when the time comes I will place my own name on the back. Like Kelly for example. At least he played his entire NFL career here and retired a Bill.

At least you aren't stuck with a Mike Williams jersey :doh:


I say we save them for opening weekend and Burn them at the BZ tailgate ... Like you do with a flag when it is old and unuseable ... Cept Williams is just unuseable :sigh:

Plus 2 McGahees. :(

I am very happy I found my McGahee jersey! :woot: Other wise I would have to buy some other one :(.

I hope we keep that RB Gates. I will buy that if it ever comes out.

That's not entirely true. If the jersey was the actual size big Mike wore, well you could sew the ends and bag ALL those leaves in the yard that you raked up over the weekend. I'd say that was maximizing the value of a Mike Williams jersey.

From here on out, I'm buying a jersey with my name on it only. Screw Free Agency.

I hear you, Red! I'm never buying another Bills jersey unless it says MY name on the back. I'm thinking The_Bradster.

The greats like Bruce, Thurman, Kelly, Reed, and Tasker I have up on the wall...all authentics. I have my Paup authentic in storage along with my Holocek, Winfield, Antowain Smith, and Spielman replicas...the Moulds replica will be going in storage

I want a Cookie Gilchrist jersey or a Marion Motley jersey from the Browns.

With turnover these days, I can see wasting like 40 bucks on a replica for a guy who may be on the team a year. Especially if they're not a big time player in this league. Which is why I'd NEVER get a rookies' jersey.

The turnover is why I first stopped buying authentics and then got my own jersey altogether

Here in Australia Bills jerseys are a rare sight! Still wear Kelly, Smith, Reed replicas, Leave my Bledsoe Authentic alone, but wear my Jets Ben Graham to Aussie Rules games because Ben Graham used to play for my team.
