Game Jersey Collector's Thread

Bramlett? Or do you plan on turning that into a McNabb?

I'm going to keep it as Bramlet. It wouldn't be accurate for McNabb and would be hard to have customized the right way. Accuracy is a thing I like to have with jerseys, and would bug me if I didn't have the right NFL shield and jock tag.

Plus the unwritten rule of not to mess with TIs or GU jerseys.

BTW, it's my understanding you can purchase photos for personal use from Getty for about $100, which may seem like a lot, but you get the original digital photo in hi res which you can then print as large as you want. Commercial use of those same photos costs significantly more.

MTH, let me know how you can get a Getty photo for personal use. I tried and they wouldnt sell me one, there are some sweet photos on there for the L Fletcher Gamer I bought. What's another $100 after the dough I dropped on the jersey and frame!!!

This jersey is one of the main reasons I became a member of extremeskins.com. That's because extremeskins.com had this really cool database (a huge project dreamed up, coded, and installed by Blade and Die Hard) where you could just plug in a number and it would bring up every player in Redskins history who ever wore that jersey number. Seriously, there was no other database in the world that could do this. I had to register to use the database so, reluctantly, I registered with extremeskins, although I was already happily subscribed to the Wash-Redskins usenet newsgroup, and had been since 1999.

The extremeskins database soon was discontinued due to the merger, but about a year later somebody else had acquired the script and started a database to take its place:

Mark I completely missed this before. That little link is ****ing gold man! AWESOME! Probably the best bit of information in this entire thread!

WOO HOO!

**EDIT** Seems like it only goes from 2005 and back. Do you think there is anyway to update that? Is the owner still interested in updating it I wonder........?

That's because the owner stole the data from extremeskins.com when the database was on our site prior to the merger. It is not updated because, apparently, keeping it updated would require real work as opposed to stealing somebody else's work.

Some of the data is updated up to 2006 or 2007, but not much.

You can thank Die Hard and Blade for the data. They are the ones that put it together back in 2003, and kept it updated up to 2005 until the site merged.

We currently have a couple members who are working on collecting the data again (including the most current data) and getting it online as a search-able function. See the most recent posts in the history thread in the feedback forum.

You have to contact them personally. Tell them you'd like to purchase the photo for personal use only. Tell them specifically how you'd use the image (i.e. you intend to print it, frame it, and hang it on your wall in your home). If you do that, they will sell you the original hi-res image for $150.

Another angle is to try to contact the original photographer, if he is listed. See if you can find him on google. He might have his own site, or you might be able to find his email. If so, he might sell you a print (or maybe even the digital image). An 11x14 print is generally about $75. Bigger prints are about $25 more, smaller prints are about $25 less. They are usually reluctant to sell the digital image, but sometimes they will. It won't be cheap though, although they might also sell you a dumbed down (less res) image for less.

Good luck.

I just took delivery of a 2006 Gamer worn by Joe Salave'a.

2006 Joe Salave'a Jersey

Joe Salave'a played for the Redskins from 2004-2006. He was born in Leone, Samoa. Salave'a made a name for himself in 2004. He had 30 tackles and two sacks for the second-ranked Redskins defense. In 2005, he started 13 games and had 50 tackles, a half-sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, helping to lead the Redskins to the playoffs.

I love that apostrophe in his nameplate. Nice jersey!

Big Joe was one of my favorites during the 2004-2006 seasons. And yes the apostrophe is unique!

[Mark The Homer]

I don't have a Salave'a yet. I always respected him as a player though. I think it's cool he was Samoan. The last sale they had at the tent sale, they had at least two very beat up Salave'a jerseys which were not purchased. I remember almost buying one. I have a hunch they are going to show up on Josports.

Yours isn't beat up, but I wouldn't mind picking up one if it was beat up.

Here's a closer pic:



Looks pretty friggin' close to a game match to me!

[wpns3/5]

There has been a lot of gamers on ebay, etc. lately, anybody pick any up?

[PlexLong]

My first official Team Issued (Game Issued according to JO Sports) jersey arrived today! Its an '09 Andre Carter. I picked this jersey because my cousin, that is from DC, went to Cal with Andre and knew him personally while they were in school together. I remember her telling me about this great defensive player at Cal that she was friends with and then it all came full circle when he came to the Skins.

2009 was arguably Carter's best season with the skins recording 48 tackles, 11 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 4 passes defensed and 9 stuffs. Pics below, please excuse the lack of quality in the pics, I used my iphone camera.







*EDIT*

Just received my 2nd Game Issued Jersey (Not Worn). According to JO Sports this LaRon Landry Away Jersey was issued in the 2010 Season, but the tag in the neck suggests that it was made originally in 2008. Pics below.

Here are my two gamers, a Marko Mitchell and Marcus Washington. I don't remember what years they are from, I'll have to check back on that. I bought the Marko Mitchell for myself for Christmas 2011 because it was on sale for $50 and Mitchell is my first name. I got the Marcus Washington jersey because he was one of my favorite players on the Skins.

*EDIT*

Marko Mitchell from 9/13/09 against the New York Giants


Here is my Marcus Washington gamer. It doesn't have a thermopatch but its from 08

All you have to do is flip the jersey inside out and there should be a sticker on the inside of the jersey at the bottom telling you when it was worn.

Not necessarily.

You're referring to the thermopatch.

Whether the thermopatch is applied depends on if the player was a starter, and/or if his jersey was viewed by the team as having special value. These thermopatches were applied by the team.

There are plenty of jerseys that were worn on the field that don't have those thermopatches.

There are also plenty of jerseys that were never worn at all that don't have the thermopatches

Josportsco tried to rectify this by applying their own thermopatches to many of the jerseys. Their thermopatches looked a little different than the team's thermopatch. But it turns out that some of the jerseys patched were not actually worn. And they also misspelled words on some of them which I found was kind of unprofessional.

Other jerseys were not thermopatched at all, by anybody.

I like the photomatch method of determining if a jersey was worn.

[MikeSellers45]

I know about that, I was just being lazy. My jerseys are upstairs, these photos are from when I got them.
