My Jersey Jinx: Is It Real or Imagined?
-
I have two couch jerseys... one white, one brown...I quit after that fiasco...
and it wasn't couch's fault. Eventually, I'm probably going
to have those jersey's repainted with "Cleveland Browns #1"...
and start again ....

Wear a Roethlisburger jersey, please. Maybe rotate it with your Flacco jersey haha.
We will all pitch in and buy you bothWear a Roethlisburger jersey, please. Maybe rotate it with your Flacco jersey haha.

Ah yes, the jersey curse. Mine started with Couch and has snow balled from there. Quinn, Richardson, 2 Josh Cribbs (though I don't count those as failures). But my favorite is #12. Has McCoy on the back but put a piece of duct tape over it to write Gordon on it and I think he got busted an hour after that. Oh well,should have gotten a Thomas jersey as that number will never be used again.

Yeah, gotta love the enthusiasm of a Browns fan who buys a new QBs jersey before he even takes a snap, but you had to have known that it was a shaky investment at best.

True. I bought the Couch jersey and my wife bought me the Manziel jersey.
I've made it a point NOT to be a Joe Thomas jersey and the big feller has 8 consecutive Pro Bowls. I'm not buying any current jerseys. Our teams have done well when I just purchased Browns t-shirts and sweaters so I'll stick with what worked.

LMAO! I can't think of a better thing to wipe my ass with after a power dump. Thatta boy Logic!
Let me clarify the bad omen here just a little bit. It ain't about what I wear - it's about what I buy. If we have a QB hanging out with a Bubblegum Music poster brat - his jersey stays benched as long as he does. When he chooses to hang out with grown men or take on a leader of men role he was drafted for - I'll reconsider. I haven't given up on him yet - but how many guys like to wear jerseys of backups on game day? My guess is if I took inventory of Derek Anderson jerseys sold - I'd get a sum of how many family members he has. The good news in this scenario is I didn't buy Manziel's jersey - it was a gift so I'm feeling better about the prognosis. I will also confess he was my favorite QB prospect in that draft class. He had me at the sight of Nick Saban in check mate at home.
I just might have to go out and buy a Ben Rapen and Joey Bottaflacco jersey. I'll straighten out those color schemes right before I position the Ratbird and Steeler fan clubs down wind.

I perfectly understand what you mean. My last three purchases were Courtney Brown, Kellen Winslow and Brady Quinn... I stopped buying jerseys before it got worse than that...
-
Haha I've felt your same pain-for me it was Tim Couch, Courtney Brown and Braylon Edwards before I gave up on buying one. Thomas is a lock pick for a "safe" jersey but I really don't know if I want an OL jersey. I do like those jersey shirts now though so at least if the guy crashes and burns you aren't out a bunch of money.

I'm waiting for an innovative soul to invent a jersey with 3 digits for the big uglies. I could even be hip to a decimal so we could power squeeze Danny Shelton into a 3.14. How fun would it be to see Ben Rapen swallowed by a very large orange and brown pie?

Truly cringe-worthy...
I loved it...

Flugel.....my honest view is that buying player's jerseys are for kids and teenagers....and since I suspect you are older than a teenager, just buy something else.
You know like Browns poncho, or a fedora, or lederhosen or something. Not a jersey.
By the way, I have one of these.

I think the last 'player' jersey I bought was Hanford Dixon back in the late 80's. Loved his attitude and that number looked good to me somehow. Ever since I have been buying personalized jerseys. Started using the number 40 back in 2002 because that's the year I turned 40 and no one at that time had worn the 40 for the Browns in an eon. The Peyton Hillis furor kinda ruined that number for me so with my new ones I chose 62, which is my birth year and it's unlikely any glamour player will wear that number ever.
I am clearly far removed from my teenage years but I wear what I like. I still buy and wear concert tour shirts too. I may be approaching 53 but I will ALWAYS wear my passions on my sleeve. The Browns, Alice Cooper or what have you.

Semi-personalized.
-
I still have a few unworn "American Hoyer Story" shirts....anyone?
now that was a great idea.
i remember one of the guys from england in a photo that was posted in the tailgate section of them all huddlin up at a bar and he had a 'personalized' shirt saying "i flew _____ miles to watch the browns score 3 points." i mean how depressing would THAT be if you saved up all year and played pittsburgh and the browns scored a field goal on the way to a rout by a division opponent.
ugggh.

Not a jinx, the Browns have drafted two legit franchise players Haden and Thomas in 16 years
-
16 years? uh, no.

LOL! I agree Gipper. I try buy sweaters, sweat shirts, golf shirts and t-shirts that have the team name, colors or old logo on them

What are you laughing at? Do I amuse you? Do you think I'm funny, you know, like a clown?
(Insert Joe Pesci cackle here)
I have one of these ponchos.....I bought it from a street vendor on the beach in Puerto Vallarta.
Have any of you bought any Browns gear from an unusual source?
