It's called a nameplate.

It's attached to the jersey with thread, so if you carefully cut the thread, you can work it out. It takes a few minutes.

The hard part is getting another faceplate -- and you'd want one that looks legit. I don't know where to get a screened faceplate, but I know you can get blank faceplates at www.authenticlettering.com, then you'd have to find somebody to screen the name on there. You'd want to be sure it's exactly the right shade of burgundy, and the right font, the right height, etc. If you have an "authentic" sewn jersey, www.authenticlettering.com won't sew names on them either, but you can order the name and faceplate from them and they'll send you the letters. It'll be up to you to get them sewn on.

It's a legal issue. The NFL won't allow businesses to manufacture jersey nameplates, which is why you have to sew them on yourself.

BTW, it looks like www.authenticlettering.com is out of business.

Take your jersey to a local sporting goods store/lettering shop. They can remove the nameplate and sew the new name on for you. If you are near Timonium, MD there is a place called Pro-Am Sportswear that has great service and can do it professionally

Sweet! This is exactly what I was looking for! I purchased 2 Portis Jerseys (Home/Away), and one Haynesworth home jersey for $9 each.

2 x 26 "Helu" and 92 "Hainesworthless" here I come!

How much do they charge and does it look like the Skins lettering?

Were the 2008 GU patched jerseys worn in the preseason? There are 3 on ebay right now of players who were not on the team against the Giants for the first game in 2008:

It could have been that the team constructed the jerseys with the GU patch anticipating that the players above would have made the team. Who knows...they are not Game Used however.

Gettyimages will answer that question for you.

The answer is no.

The question was meant to be rhetorical...I guess it didn't com accross that way.

Those are some good fakes, almost had me fooled.

[Mark The Homer]

I'm not sure if "fakes" is the right word, although the listing is certainly misleading. For example, Vernon Fox was released Aug 24, 2008. His jersey above is not a fake, and it may have even been worn during a pre-season game. The patch is definitely misleading, though. But it may have been sewn on in anticipation of opening day, as Xav suggests.

That's possible, but I still think it's a tad fishy.

I ordered my gamer from Josports last year, I feel more comfortable with them.

Does Josh Wilson wear 26 as well?

I'm rooting for Helu to get 26. He seemed like something special during the last game.
