Your official 2011 Eagles jersey buyers guide

PrintI've had 2 jerseys over the past decade+. I had a Brian Dawkins jersey since right around the turn of the century (got in on B Dawk earlier than most). I went with just one jersey over the Dawkins era, and have since made it my own little thing to just have one active jersey at a time. When Dawk left for Denver, I retired it, along with all the memories of food stains, tears in the fabric (some small, some large), the aroma of Powers, and waking up the next morning in it wondering if the Eagles had won or not. After Dawk, I went with the hard-working, good-from-out-of-nowhere undrafted free agent Quintin Mikell. Well, Q is now a Ram, so I'll be shopping yet again.
Without further ado, since there are so many new faces on this Eagles team, I present your complete 2011 Eagles jersey buyers guide:
| Player | # | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex Henery | 6 | Huge leg, potential is there to hit a 60 yarder at the end of a game for the win, Matt Bryant style. | Don't be that guy. |
| Michael Vick | 7 | If you don't know the pro's of Michael Vick's game, shame on you. | Risk of an overnight stay in the pokey for beating the shit out of someone from PETA that has thrown an egg at you or something. [Note by JimmyK, 08/12/11 11:34 AM EDT ] - GAH!!!! A great point from the comment section that someone from PETA wouldn't throw an egg. Oops! |
| Vince Young | 9 | Big fan of his work at UT? | It's a bad thing if Young actually gets to play. |
| DeSean Jackson | 10 | With apologies to Chris Johnson, there isn't a player in the league that's more of a threat to score anytime he touches the ball than DeSean. | You'll be one of literally thousands at the stadium wearing #10. Contract still unsettled. |
| Steve Smith | 12? | Only an option if you live in the NYC Metropolitan area and you're interested in pissing off Giants fans. | One year deal. Knee. |
| Riley Cooper | 14 | He's dreamy. | People may call your sexual orientation into question (I know I know - That's not PC anymore). Also, if you're a white guy, you have to be careful about buying another white guy's jersey. I went to a Jets game years ago, and like half the stadium was wearing Wayne Chrebet jerseys. I mean, he was a nice player and all, but you'd think he'd won an MVP or something - Something about that smacked of racism in a weird way. |
| Chad Hall | 16 | Fixes jets. | You run the risk of being mocked at the tailgate if he doesn't make the team. |
| Johnnie Lee Higgins | 17 | My buddy's name is Rich Higgins. Ask him to be your friend, and have him wonder why the hell 500 people suddenly want to be his friend. Anyway, it would make sense for him to buy this jersey. | It wouldn't make sense for anyone else. |
| Jeremy Maclin | 18 | True up-and-coming WR in this league with all sorts of potential... | …I think (I hope). |
| Player | # | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joselio Hanson | 21 | You'll be the only guy in the stadium wearing this jersey. | The majority of Eagles fans think he sucks (wrongfully). Plus, I don’t see it, but plenty of people out there think he'll be traded. |
| Asante Samuel | 22 | The President CB! Emerging as one of my favorite Eagles ever. The man just doesn't shut up for a second in practice. | Tons of people have this jersey. Plus, he probably only has two years left as an Eagle. DRC's contract ends after the 2012 season. They're not going to pay big money to 3 CB's.... I think. |
| Ronnie Brown | 23 | Loved this guy out of Auburn. Does everything well. | Like VY, if he's on the field for an extended period of time, something bad happened. Plus, he's on a year deal. Is he an Eagle in 2012? If he plays well, he may be looking for that big payday in 2012. If not, the Eagles won't bring him back. |
| Nnamdi Asomugha | 24 | 2nd best CB in the game. Super intelligent. Charitible. | Might be the top selling Eagles jersey this year. |
| LeSean McCoy | 25 | Darkhorse MVP candidate this season. Yeah, you read that right. OK, very darkhorse. Like, if the horse were literally painted with the darkest can of paint Home Depot has, and the horse was hiding under your house on a moonless night. But I think he's going to light it up this year. Looked phenomenal in camp last year, and looked even better this year. I'm not sure if there really are a ton of McCoy jerseys out there. I mean… I've seen them and all, but you'd think there'd be more. Plus, he's chippy, and he makes fun of Osi Umenyiora on twitter. What's not to like? | Can't really think of anything. |
| Jaiquawn Jarrett | 26 | Huge hitter. Highlight reel potential. Local kid. | Rookies are always a risk. |
| Nate Allen | 29 | Young, smart player. Should be on the team for a long time. | Popular "off the beaten track" jersey purchase this time last year, not so much this year. Injury concerns. |
| Colt Anderson | 30 | Special teams tasmanian devil. | May not make the team. |
| Curtis Marsh | 31 | My camp darling. | Can't own the jersey of the 5th/6th CB on the roster. Just can't. |
| Owen Schmitt | 32 | Smashes himself in the head with his own helmet. | If you own this jersey, there's a good chance you own a General Lee figurine. |
| Jorrick Calvin | 38 | Haha, just kidding. | |
| Kurt Coleman | 42 | Underdog to make the team last year, eventually started and played well. Very Quintin Mikell-ish in that regard, except that he got drafted, albeit late. | If Jaiquawn Jarrett is awesome, you may not see much of Kurt. |
| DRC | 45 | Maybe the best athlete on the team. | 45, Dom? Why? Terrible number for a corner. |
| Jon Dorenbos | 46 | Watched him squirt Chas Henry in the nuts with a water bottle in camp this year. Instant fan. Hot wife (not that that does you any good). Maybe you can trick her into thinking you're Jon? | He's a long snapper. |
| Casey Matthews | 50 | Rookie signal caller of the D. | If he's good, EVERYONE is going to buy this jersey. If he's not good, well… you don't want it in the first place. |
| Jamar Chaney | 51 | Lots of people are saying that Chaney is the best pass defending linebacker in Philly since Carlos Emmons. People forget how good Carlos Emmons was. Huge praise. Star potential, in his own non-highlight reel kind of way. | Can't think of anything, really. He might not be good? I personally think this one is a slam dunk. |
| Moise Fokou | 53 | Great BGN nickname: MoFo | Kind of a "blah" player. I mean, I like MoFo and all, but is he really going to make a bunch of plays like… say… 20-30 other Eagles? |
| Brandon Graham | 54 | The kid needs your support. | ACL tear, microfracture surgury. Oof. |
| Darryl Tapp | 55 | Tore up camp ths year. Looked fantastic in first preseason game. | Maybe just put a ghetto looking "Tapp" over your old Stew Bradley jerseys. On second thought, don't do that. |
| Keenan Clayton | 57 | Emerging playmaker on the D. | May never be more than a nickle linebacker. |
| Trent Cole | 58 | The hunter! Crazy eyes - they're like a grayish light blue. Very scary looking guy. | Can’t think of anything. |
| Jason Kelce | 62 | Another guy with a new great nickname: The Hedgehog. | Even if he's making waves in camp and might win the starting job over J Jax, it's probably a little fiscally irresponsible to buy a rookie 6th pick center's jersey. |
| Danny Watkins | 63 | He was the first qualified person to attend to Mike Patterson, when Patt suffered a seizure during camp. | Rookie risk. |
| Ryan Harris | 64 | May be a starter. | Needs more info. |
| King Dunlap | 65 | Only makes sense if you're 7'2. | Probably getting cut. |
| Jamaal Jackson | 67 | Only holdover from the 2004 SB team. | 31 years old, and facing stiff competition from the kid. |
| Anthony Hargrove | 68 | Great story. Google him. | Role player only. |
| Jason Peters | 71 | One of the best LTs in the game. So many people have been saying that he's overrated for so long that he is now underrated. Kinda the reverse Quintin Mikell effect. | There's just something about him. I don't know what it is. |
| Winston Justice | 74 | Player rep, for you union guys. | Probably on his way out of the starting lineup. |
| Todd Herremans | 79 | Owns a creepy van. Maybe the most underrated player on the team . Pro Bowl snub last year - Probably getting in this year. | Nothing. Very strong candidate. |
| Jason Avant | 81 | Quietly awesome. Not enough people out there with JA jerseys. | Logjam at WR could mean fewer snaps. |
| Brent Celek | 87 | Going to be the Eagles TE for the foreseeable future. | Like Nate Allen, this was a hot jersey this time last year. Has cooled off. Needs another big year before giving strong jersey consideration again. Has to stop doing the weak-ass Cowboys-esque first down signal. |
| Antonio Dixon | 90 | Like Hargrove, another great story. The guy was effing homeless. Hard not to root for him. | Probably needs to put more than half a season together before you go out and spend big money on his jersey. |
| Trevor Laws | 91 | Going to make plays this year in the wide 9. | Limited snaps. |
| Jason Babin | 93 | For the tribal tattoo enthusiasts. I picture Mac from It's Always Sunny being a big Babin fan. | One good season in the pros brings about a certain (small) level of risk. |
| Charles Noonan | 94 | It would just be funny to have a Noonan jersey. | Currently the most likely player on the entire 90 player roster to be cut. |
| Victor Abiamiri | 95 | If you're hoping to get hit by a truck or something, maybe Abiamiri's bad luck will rub off on you. | Need I explain? |
| Cullen Jenkins | 97 | Almost the forgotten new guy. | Painful memories of the Packers ending the Eagles season last year, and injuring half the team Week 1. |
| Mike Patterson | 98 | As the old saying goes: You don't know what you've got until you see your guy having a seizure on the field. Also, I have a friend that has a Patterson jersey that has "Mike Patterson" spelled out in its entirety on the back. Always popular among the tailgating crowd. | Doesn't really make plays, in the traditional sense. "Just" shuts down the middle of the line in the run game. Career may be in jeopardy. |

Still can’t believe how everyone (including Sports Illustrated and ESPN) fell so head over heals in love with Wayne Chrebet. It’s amazing how the Jets thought it would be a better idea to keep him instead of Keyshawn, but that’s indicative of how the Jets were run for a long time.

I’ve had a lot of bad luck with jerseys lately. In my closet right now: 1 Jevon Kearse, 1 authentic Stewart Bradley, 2 Kevin Kolb (1 Kelly Green, 1 White), 1 Trent Cole. I got the Kolbs and the Bradley last year at training camp.
I honestly think I might go for a throwback jersey. They seem like the safest choice.
I regularly sport my home & away Reggie jerseys. Asomugha should easily have the top selling jersey this year.

… If I find the jersey, I will need to find someone to make an Avant patch.. its one of the cheaper (non-stitch) jersey’s though.
Well thats one way of doing it
Just swap the names and numbers out! I’m sitting with McNabb, Dawkins, McCoy, Cunningham,Vick and my wife has Westy, McNabb and Jackson. Hmmm, and now I’m thinking to get another but man I am running out of room.

Velcro or removable name patches
would actually be a brilliant idea.
When we’ve had this discussion on BGN before, we’ve debated the lameness of buying a jersey with your own name on it when you don’t play for the team (yeah, that’s me) vs. the wisdom of never having to worry about you, the fan, getting traded, cut, injured or sucking. My Me jersey that i bought in the McNabb/Dawk/Westy/Trotter era is going to be relevant until it has holes in it … and yet there are Jimmy Ks and NPKs that mock fools like me.

And point out that many of those wearing a Jackson jersey are, erm, rather larger than Jackson? It kind of brings up a disconnect when you see someone wearing a #10 jersey big enough to fit 3 DeSeans in.

You seriously need to watch more Jets games from the last couple years. Revis faces the best wideout on every snap and shuts them down. There is an article on ESPN showing the stats of like 14 star receivers he shutdown in 09. Last season, he gave up just 22 catches at 39% comp. facing the best WR on the field. Nnamdi is a close second.
by Route36 on Aug 12, 2011 3:57 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Revis shuts down one guy (for the most part) and he was beat a few times last year. Nnamdi shuts down an entire half of the field and has only given up 2 touchdowns in the past 4 years.
Last season for Revis: 57 targets, 22 receptions allowed, 369 yards allowed, 3 TDs allowed, 10 passes defended.
Last season for Nnamdi: 29 targets, 13 receptions allowed, 185 yards allowed, 6 passes defended

I know the stats. It doesn’t matter if Nnamdi shut down his side of the field. He didn’t follow the best WR like Revis did. Not that he couldn’t but he just didn’t because of the scheme. Revis has done it, that’s why he is a step ahead. Like I said, watch some more Jets film.

Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

"On the flip side, though, Bleeding Green Nation cites a PFF study that says Jackson dropped the highest percentage of catchable passes (19.67 percent) of any receiver in the league last year. I think he also dropped that punt at the end of the last Giants game. But then he picked it back up."

Can cost be a factor?
Because now that Wal-Mart sells the screen-printed ones, I got me a white Jackson ($30), a green McCoy for my son ($22), a green Maclin for my daughter ($22) and a green Jackson ($22) one size up from my son so when they grow, she can shift into the McCoy … all that for $96, or what you pay for one good stitched one.
I’d pay $22 for just about any jersey. $79 would have to be a quality jersey that’d have to be here for a while.
Unrelated, D.C.-area department stores sell about 40% Redskins stuff, 25% Cowboys, 10% each Steelers, Eagles and Ravens, and about %5 Giants. It’s definitely picked up lately, but when it got to the point I could buy a kid-sized Maclin and I didn’t even have to wait til the Thanksgiving trip to Jersey, I knew the Birds were superpopular and/or takin over down here.

I've never been a jersey guy
I’ve always stuck with the hat and t-shirt just because of the risk involved in spending money on a players’ jersey. I’ve only ever owned one football jersey and it was a Peyton Manning jersey that my uncle sent me for my birthday one year (he’s from Indiana), hardly ever wore it. You really can’t wear a jersey anywhere.

I always thought this was smart
given the way the NFL — and Eagles in particular — disposes of players.
I know I’m in the minority on this, but when we’ve had this discussion before, it’s been like 60-40 against. There’s a pretty good group who realizes while it’s bamafied (sorry, DCism creeping in there) to wear your own jersey when you don’t play for the team, it’s a much better investment long term than 90% of the Eagles.

Kinda off topic
But with Hanson, I think the dude sucks as an outside CB. He’s great at the nickel spot, but he seems to get burned whenever he has to play close to the sidelines. That’s why people (yes, wrongfully) think he sucks.
But I want a DRC jersey, although I’d prefer #23 if there were any flying around…

I got a Desean Jackson jersey the first day they came out before he was a beast (to be fair this was mostly because I could get my name on a jersey with the customizing it.) But my top jersey is a Westbrook Jersey with the superbowl patch. So sick.

I like having 2 to pick from
My McNabb and Westbrook ones that I wore forever are retired. The only one I have for a player currently on the Eagles is Vick, and I don’t want to wear that to games along with another ten thousand people. Thinking about McCoy, Jarrett, Maclin, or DRC. Probably will give it a season just to see how the rookies do, and when Maclin comes back
My two purchases this year
Nnamdi green jersey and a Djack 2010 Pro Bowl jersey. i already got a black vick jersey.

Yeah I'm buying an Asomugha most likely
I’ll probably never buy a Vick even though I like the way the guy has handled himself and he’s a dazzling player. Maybe it’s cliche, I’m not sure why.
I feel like Aso is unique, but I think I wanna just support the move he made and prove he came for all the right reasons. Plus he’s a good dude, and I’m weird about wearing jerseys of players I hate as people. Jackson is about my limit.
Secretary of State for BGN aka "Most diplomatic man on this site," as appointed by Talon Talent

But
I won’t buy McCoy’s jersey until he gets a contract extension. That’s why Asomugha is #1. He just signed a big contract with us that would make it very hard to cut him in the near future. Plus he’s a great player, making it very unlikely that he busts and gives us any reason to cut/trade him.
I have a white McNabb jersey & a green Dawkins jersey. Whatever color the team is wearing is the jersey I’ll be wearing that day. If we wear our black jersey’s I go with Dawkins
Twitter- @kjbrophy
I like this idea
I retired my Dawk jersey after the Bronco’s @ Eagles game when he returned to the Linc. Haven’t worn it since, but I definitely plan on bringing it back. The problem is, I can’t bring myself to wear it until he retires and is no longer on another team in the league.
Right now, the only ones I wear are a black DeSean, Green Maclin, and a Green Vick. I wear the Maclin one the most because he’s my favorite player (fingers crossed for a quick recovery).
I’ve also never had a white jersey. Been trolling eBay for a white Dawkins.

I will be laughed at for this...
But back in the day I was very pleased with the Eagles drafting Jeremy Bloom, I thought he could be a nice sleeper at a time, coming off the travesty that was 2005 for our receiving corps…I essentially got his jersey as a gift, so I didn’t pay for it, but he subsequently hit the IR, and the next season was a complete bust. That jersey is now buried in the darkest depths of my attic out of shame.
Hindsight is 20/20 I guess…
If you're looking for advice...
…in the comments, I’d go with Cole or Avant. Why not, right? Both deserve it. Not sure if Cole is overrepresented at the Linc, being here in Georgia, but as you wrote: “can’t think of any cons”.
I’ll stick with Dawkins for now. He will always be THE Eagle to me so it makes little sense for me to purchase another guy’s who may flame out or get moved. I almost bought a Richards Flyer jersey last year and we see how that would have worked out for me, hence why I am hesitant to make such a purchase.
True, you can never go wrong with Dawk
Bednarik would be the same, or maybe Quick/Carmichael/Wilbert, but you have to be old enough to remember them playing.
Dawk, Randall, Reggie will always be welcomed, IMHO. Lot of others in the next tier (Westbrook, etc.) that will get love for years too.

Question
I have a McCoy rookie jersey. As everyone may remember, he was #29 that year.
Is rocking the old # cool or not? Do I need to upgrade to a #25?
No. It’ll get annoying having to field questions from people about why you have the wrong number for the next 10 years. Most casual fans won’t know he was 29 his rookie season.

This is why I hate when players change numbers. It’s worse in baseball; I pity anyone who had a #33 Burrell jersey or #6 Rollins. At some point this summer I was at a game and saw a #33 Lee next to a #34 Lee, and I believe my head exploded at that point.
well, Lee couldn’t take 34 back. And I have a very old #6 rollins shirt they gave away at a game back in the day.

But these were drawn up by some random on the web.
Nike might change the unis, but they won’t look like this.

Here is what sucks about this
After retiring my Brian Dawkins jersey, I decided to buy a number 17 Jersey and put my name on it because I’ve been through 2 Jersey’s in which I had to get rid of my jerseys because the player didn’t stick around to long (Bought the D Hawk jersey 2 seasons before depature).
Now I was watching the game last night and to my surprise, saw some guy returning Kicks with NUMBER 17 ON IT!!!! HIGGINS!!! I’m PISSED!!! HAHAHA. I will buy a new player jersey when the league crossover to Nike and I might buy the Kicker Jersey. He should be around for a while unless he get’s hurt (just Kidding about buying his jersey).
You bought a personalized jersey? Yeah, I’m not forseeing much sympathy for you there. If you’re worried about players leaving, buy a retired guy’s jersey.
I also have problems with players leaving…I bought an authentic, fully stitched Westbrook jersey, and it damn near brings me to tears every time I look at it and am reminded that his glory days as an Eagle are no more…
I haven’t bought another jersey since, I’ve abstained and gone the route of wearing gear that says “Eagles” only on it, no more players names. I can’t take the heartbreak again…
You can always wear that jersey. Westbrook will be remembered for a long time around here.
Where it with pride.
Eagles next starting QB: "East-West Shrine Game Legend" Mike Kafka
Flyers: Sigh
Phillies:Gah enough with the injuries!.
Why the tears? I rock my Westbrook and Dawkins with mad pride. I will never have an issue wearing either of the jerseys. I bought a Maclin jersey his rookie year, was gonna buy a MCCoy but went with Maclin instead, glad I did with the number change and all. But once the change to Nike happens I’m gonna grab a McCoy, Vick, and Jackson to add to my collection.
by Shawsage on Aug 12, 2011 7:58 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Just sad that nothing lasts forever.
Or that NFL running backs struggle with any type of longevity in the sport. Especially one as fun to watch as Westbrook.
I wear a Vick jersey because I live in LA and it’s one of the surest ways to piss people off around here. Not sure if it’s still in effect, but one of the most popular sports bars actually banned Vick jerseys a couple years ago.
Did they ban "Ron Mexico" jerseys too?

Good List
McCoy is the safest of the options. After his MVP type season though he will be very popular. I could certainly see him around for 5+ years.
Cole is probably the best player that is not super popular. He is awesome, still underrated, and works. A true football player type and will be a historically good Eagle.
Avant is good, and 81 will be pretty common for awhile. Avant is a hard working player at a glamour position. I love the fact that he is also a good special teamer. The ex-TO irony I like as well. Probably would be my choice if I was willing to spend the money.
Chaney, Dixon, Kelce are all risk choices. Chaney has shown flashes and could really be a quality player for awhile. Dixon has the great story but I am not sure if he has a long career as an Eagle. Kelce would be the ultimate grinder pick. If he starts he would have the lowest jersey sales of any starter. Would identify you as either a hardcore fan or Kelce’s cousin.
Dawkins, McNabb, Cole, Kelly Green Celek (Damnit!), Mikell (Double Damnit!), throwback Randall

Also considering Allen and Asomugha (but I already have the problem w/DJ of having the jersey that everyone has — though in DJ’s case I think I was an early adopter)

Since I'm a total mess on gameday...
I purchase my jersey’s from China…they’re about as authentic as you can get without the pricetag…they’re stitched, have the reebok authentic thing near the bottom and look as good as a $250 authentic, except they cost $35 shipped…I’ve never noticed any serious flaws at all…the worst I saw was on my DJacc the “C” and the “K” were a bit closer to each other than normal…but people couldn’t tell the diff. between mine and my friends authentic…for someone who spills dip, beer and wings on stuff constantly…I recommend buying one of these…lemme know if anyone wants the website…

The good thing about this site is you use paypal to pay so your credit card # isn’t in the hands of some Chinese manufacturer you can’t contact, meaning you can dispute any charges (never happened to me though).
Plus, the jersey arrives in a week, no later. I wanna say me and my friends have ordered about 3 each off the site and so far so good…
"I was the first option on the play and the quarterback made a great throw. I landed on my shoulder and neck and blacked out for a little while, but I'm fine now." - Djacc
I've got
Watters, Harmon, Runyan, Westbrook (from Super Bowl), Stallworth, McNabb, and Jackson (but it’s a chinese fake and looks like JACK SON w/ a space, lame.)
I want a Nnamdi but I think he’ll switch to #21 so that’s on hold for me until further notice. DRC would be sweet b/c his name is so damn long but #45 is no good. I think my next one will be either VY, Shady, or Matthews.
A lot of jerseys to choose from
I have a TO (which I don’t wear anymore) and a McNabb (black; ended up getting it from a friend as a gift the year before he got traded), so I don’t have any jerseys from current players. I plan on getting another jersey soon, but having some trouble picking between D Jax, McCoy, Vick, Maclin, Asante, Nnamdi, Cole and Celek.
I live in Minnesota so I won’t have to worry a whole lot about a ton of people wearing whatever jersey I end up getting (just the hate from Vikes fans lol), but I still have a hard time picking between the ones I listed.

I had the eagles reward points Mastercard leading into last season
and I guess they were dropping their affiliation with the card, so I had to use up my points.
I foolishly spent them on a Kolb jersey – then MV happened (not that I’m terribly broken up about it)
Football jerseys seem so damn risky I’ll probably only go with throwback type stuff from now on.
I think the Vick is a safe bet
because even if he for some reason is gone next year (please God, no) his time here has already been epic so rockin the Vick jersey will always work.
I want to get a white Nnamdi (that sounds wierd) but I am waiting, and hoping that we trade Hanson. Hes a good slot CB and that is all. Will never be a real starter, just not good enough for that unfortunately. We should ship him and get a decent pick in return. So if that happens, I want to see if Nnamdi will switch back to 21 before I click that “buy” button.
I own a auth green Dawk, replica green Cole (Trent not Nick), white McNabb, and I used to have a green ricky Waters but it got stolen.
I hear that “straight from China” deal, and I know times are tough on the wallet, but…. I dont know man… I like to support my team. I buy from the pro shop (if i can actually get to the game), or through the official webpage. I know Im paying extra for the EXACT same thing since they are made in the same asian factory’s but I know some of my money from my purchase is going back to the Eagles organization. I’m not knocking the overseas purchasers… im just posting my feeling on the matter.

We have had this discussion on about 13 threads
Cunningham gets much love overall, probably right after Reggie and Dawk. For me, he might be No. 1, but I got into the Eagles hard around then.

McCoy
Great jersey article!
So a bit of a dilemma was presented to me at christmas— one of my best friend’s got a good deal on an authentic McCoy jersey for my wife to give me as a christmas present— he has a hookup that has access to the previous year’s merch, so it was definitely way cheaper than at Mo’s but still a decent amount of money.
I open up the package on christmas and see a beautiful, shiny new Shady McCoy jersey. Only one problem— it’s got a huge number “29” on it. If you’ll remember, McCoy wore 29 his rookie season then switched to his familiar 25 last year.
So how should I feel about wearing this jersey? I’m worried about people thinking I’m stupid for having Nate Allen’s number on a McCoy jersey. But it IS a legit and awesome jersey and I love Shady, and true fans would know that 29 was his rookie number.
Violation on my friend though for not even realizing until I told him.
You just tell them
You were a McCoy fan from Day 1.
And if they don’t ask, probably means no matter the number, Eagles green is good.
Not ideal, but not a major violation I don’t think.
