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.

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.

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.

Mack, is a very reliable guy but to be a franchise player you need to play a marquee position and center just isn't QB, RB, WR, DE, DB or LT.

Mudfly

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.
