    Default Throwback Jersey Toss Up

    Just took my lunch break at work and I was walking around the mall looking for a pair of sunglasses when I see some Skins jerseys hanging in a sports store (a rariety down here in Nashville). So I walk in and find out that they're having a sale on authentic throwbacks, they've got Doug Williams and Joe Theisman, both in my size for only $84.99 - that's a steal. Authentics normally go for around $250 to $275. And before anyone asks, yes, it is a real authentic jersey, not replithentic or replica...they had most of their stuff in there slashed by about 30 to 50 percent. So I had to make my move...Theisman or Williams. Had to go Williams, Superbowl XXII was a work of art. Who would you have taken? I really wanted a Riggins but for that price, I'll take my Doug Williams and be happy about it. Anyone else have any good, authentic Skins throwbacks?

    What mall? I live in Nashville and would love to check that out.

    I also would like to have a Riggins jersey if given a choice but I would take Williams over Theismann too.

    Cool Springs Galleria, Brentwood actually. I think the store was called, Sports Seasons...or something like that, its on the 2nd floor by the food court. I used to live in Fairfax VA...thought I was the only Skins fan down here.

    Thanks. Opposite direction from my house but might be worth the drive. I grew up in Locust Grove, VA (west of Fredericksburg) and you're right, there's not many of us down here but I see a few now and then.

    i would've taken the williams jersey too. i don't know why, since i never got to see either one of them actually play. from what i've seen though, williams' super bowl performance just sticks out in my mind more.

    Theisman.

    This message is too short.
    Some things I've learned:
    Always make a plan.
    Pay attention to where you are, what you're doing, and how you're supposed to do it.
    Never go to a Steak House and order chicken.
    Putting a dollar in a g-string costs too much.
    Don't insult the dentist before he's finished.

    I would have gone with Theismann, though I wasn't around to see either play.

    Toughie... I would have purchased both at that price. still cheaper than one authentic in most places. I would go Williams then Joey T though. but that's just me. I'd like to have both. along with a Riggins and a Monk..and Wilber Marshall, and Monte Coleman lol..ok I quit.

    Hard choice. Theisman won more games and a SB. But that 2nd quarter with Williams is hard to forget...

    I have the Williams white jersey, but wanted the 1987 burgundy one with the patch on the sleeve. Alas, it's no longer available in my size from legit sellers and I'm hesitant to purchase jerseys from Ebay. From a collector's standpoint, I think both the white and burgundy Doug Williams are (retired) so they will not make any more, so from that point you probably made the right choice. I think Williams is more popular for several reasons, but you can't go wrong either way. Don't see many Theismann jerseys, so it would be unique. If you have a chance you should roll back and acquire Joey T's as well. His M&N jersey is still listed at regular price so that's definitely a bargain! The Theismann jersey is burgundy and there's nothing like flashing that Redskins signature burgundy! Love the earth tones, love the burgundy, love the gold...

    I already have a #7 Theismann. He won a league MVP and our first Super Bowl. When I got it, I had to choose between that and a Sonny Jurgenson jersey. That was a tough decision because I like listening to Sonny on the radio. However, I had to go with Joey T because it seemed more fitting with Gibbs coaching us again. Theismann and Williams is a tough choice too, but you really can't go wrong either way.
    The press asked a Redskins executive about the salary cap penalty and the executive responded, "Ask John Mara." So the press asked Mara and he said, “What they did was in violation of the spirit of the salary cap. "

    Oh I see now, even though there was no actual salary cap in 2010 according to the CBA, the "spirit" of the salary cap still existed. Thanks for clearing that up Mara.
