My Jersey Jinx: Is It Real or Imagined?
-
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?

The lederhosen comment. Hell yeah! You're a funny dude.
We're definitely on the same page about wearing logo stuff rather than jerseys. Appreciated your feedback man.

Except we tagged Mack just last year.....which is what I think Mic is saying......and k Phil Dawson prior to that....
In fact, over the last 5 years, kickers are tied at 6 each(w/LB) as the most frequently tagged position....while CB, S & OG all tied at 1 for the least tagged(interesting)
C, P, RB & OT = 2
QB = 3
So..Id say marquee positions matter very little, when punters are equal to RB and OT....or K outdo everybody....and QB's are just one from the bottom......looks like great or hard to replace players get tagged, no matter what their position

Mud you're over thinking this. We are talking about buying jerseys and being a jinx. Typically jersey sales revolve around marquee positions and the Browns have for the most part drafted duds.
