I rarely buy jerseys. I got a Ronnie Brown one the year of the Wildcat. But I like the new look and am excited about this year's team. I'm tempted to buy a jersey, but undecided on whether to buy a Tannehill jersey (too soon?), Dion Jordan, Cam Wake, or maybe John Denney since he's been here forever. Is there a current roster-player jersey you're considering picking up? New player, or player we had last year already?
I'll be getting a player who's likely to either retire here or is bound to play a long time in a Miami uniform. No more jerseys that have to be shelved after a season or two. So either Wake, Tannehill, Pouncey, Jordan, or Sturgis. lol.
good topic, been meaning to make a list of the safest jerseys to buy.......... because you know how some fans just dont get it. ( my aunt bought my 8 yr old cousin a reggie bush jersey for the holidays last year, after i told her to wait for the new unis. ) "He's on the team for one more game, thats it !" I said. "And that logo represents all that has gone wrong with this team." He wore it to the last 2 home games with me and now its a pricey closet stuffer. 1.#91 Cameron Wake - Elite, All-Pro, got his big money and improved his game. Could be a career Phin, will go down as one, no doubt. 2.#17 Ryan Tannehill - Franchise QB, we've got one ! He has a long career ahead of him. 3.#51 Mike Pouncey - One of the best lineman in the league, period. Loves staying in FL. 4.#59 Danell Ellerbe or #?Phillip Wheeler - a safer bet to stay long term than the WRs. 5.#11 Mike Wallace or #82 Brian Hartline - Locked up for a few years now. Hopefuls: #95 Dion Jordan,#26 Lamar Miller, #20 Reshad Jones........IF they play well and if Jones is resigned you can add these 3 to the list of smart buys. I'm going to wait until late 2013, I really want a Jordan 95, or Jones 20.
You can also wait until there's custom jerseys and get Thomas 54 or Marion 13 for example. ***EDIT**** Dammit. Marino 13
Francis ... double zero. Gonna hang it right next to my Sethdaddy jersey. Let them collect dust together for all eternity.
Just bought a Tannehill aqua . Wore it to a festival last night. It's amazing the amount of people who ask me about it/who don't know we have a new look this season. Bad thing is now it smells like fried food and I'm scared as hell to wash it.
The Nike Brian Hartline jerseys are being made with what Nike is referring to as "Shock Collar Technology" which, like an invisible fence, sends out small electrical jolts when approaching an end zone.
Done buying jerseys. They look foolish, are horribly overpriced, and the players rarely stay in one place for very long. Logo sweatshirts or T-shirts and maybe a hat or 2. Cheaper and you don't look ******ed wearing one on a non game day.
Same for me. Though I don't generally mind jersey looks, as you seem to, I also feel they are overpriced, and players are so unreliable to either pan out or stay long term these days ... Best off jersey wise either getting a customer with an older player like Marino/Thomas as FinD pointed out, or maybe custom with your own last name. Personally I just wear logo merch instead.
I quit buying players jerseys a few years ago. The last jersey I bought has my name on it and I'll probably do that again with the new uni's, eventually.
Well Jones would be nice. I'd go for Jones. Since he is good player and youngster. His jersey is also rare i guess...
If you're looking for the "safest" jersey, I don't see how you can go with anyone other than Pouncey.
No interest at the moment. I buy the jerseys for the player, not a new design. Got an authentic Ryan Tannehill last year, that will suit me for awhile.
That's what I thought about my #77 J Long. Thinking about Hartline that will almost guarantee he won't be on the team very long if I buy one so maybe I won't. Did get a Tannehill autographed football for a present though I put it on a Nice pedestal in the man cave now I want a Dolphin light over the pool table.
Ray Finkle. Because I'm sick of spending money on players who end up leaving or being traded. Ray might have missed the big kick, but he'll always be a Dolphin.
Every jersey I buy ends up with a player leaving as well so I give up. I'm tempted to see if Miller breaks out, but I went to the mall and saw the jerseys up close and needless to say, I really disliked them. (I Had liked them a lot when first released, but press released (Altered) photo's can make a lot of things look good.) So hopefully they have an alternate jersey next season to make it more enticing.
No. He should have bought a Daniel Thomas jersey last year. Then we could have been assured of not having to watch an uncountable # of 3 yard runs.
It's not the jersey that makes you look ******ed. It's the small bus you ride on and helmet you wear.
