Seems like as good an "Off Season Topic" as any.....

 

Getting one of the girlfriend's jerseys (she has a couple blank ones...) stitched up for Christmas this year. 17to85 and I have been debating who to get stitched, though. She's partial to both Cory Watson and Glenn January (...something about fat bearded guys...cough...) but both of those guys have to be considered bubble players for 2015. So I thought "Well, Drew Willy has to be a safe bet..." but is he really? What if he never recovers from the mental beating he took this year, and it's Marve's team next summer??

 

Maybe Denmark? Seems like one of the only safe bets....

 

 

Anyhow, thought I'd come here for a few thoughts on the matter....

Herosian was a beast at safety. Players were afraid to run crossing routes over the middle. He took their heads off.

I bought this guys jersey after this hit. Worth it! I lost it a few years back though 

 

I tried to make it so it would start at 1:50 but I couldn't make it work.

So is the Ray hit on Woody Wang the blow that sent him to the sidelines and was caught on camera puking? Good choice for a jersey.

The guys I'd want -- Wild, Sears Jr -- are free agents. Risky.

Kohlert is probably our best non-import and resigned with us despite living through the Burke years. I'd say he's a good bet to stick around for awhile and be productive.

Retired player is the safest. If I got another royal blue it would be a T. Jones or a Battle but I'm old as **** and have a lot more awesome retired players to choose from. If I got my wife a jersey it would be a Cvetkovich, she has bought his calendar and loves his animal welfare work.

You must be at least my age as I have a royal blue 58 (wild wild west) but a 32 was a close second. I never could figure out how a waddle could get so fast. 

 

I feel like i used to see lots of Westwood and Cameron jerseys at games back in the day. Maybe it's my imagination.

 

I think I would only ever get a retired players jersey, or someone who has been with the team long enough that if he quit the next day I'd still be able to wear it with pride.  I got a Stegall jersey in his last year or two. A Doug Brown jersey would have been a safe pick for his last few seasons, Charles Roberts, etc.

 

I can't really think of anyone on the team now that has that sort of potential other than Willy. And that name will always be timeless even if he did flame out next year.

Retired players... Wear with pride. Well, #11 Ken Ploen, #27 Dave Raimey, #54 Phil Minnick, #77 Ernie Pitts, #64 Bill Frank, #55 Joe Critchlow, #7 Don Jonas, #52 Harry Walters, #30 Brian Herosian, #27 Jay Washington, #38 Willard Reaves, #35 Tyrone Jones, #54 Greg Battle, #10 Rod Hill, #35 Bob "Hoss" Houmard, #2 Tom Clements, #70 Jeff Boyd.... Those guys come to mind. 

 

Jones was 35, crap I thought it was 32. Actually the numbers were a bit blurry in those days. We used to go to Chi Chi's before the game. 

Wild would be a good choice if re-signs. You also couldn't go wrong with Denmark. 

Just popping in quick to say thanks for all the suggestions, guys!!

Heck, if you really wanted to, you could get all the suggestions from here stitched on that jersey, in a smaller stich form, kind of like a "signature" uni or a smorgasbord of talented teammates, all in good taste of course.

It might prove to be a bit heavy, but strong are the shoulders that bear the weight of responsibility. (or some hokum like that)

I have two Stegall's, an Edwards, a Pierce and a West.

 

I am happy with all my choices so far. The Pierce and West are 70s/80s retro Royal Blues respectively.

 

Haven't got a "new" jersey because I hate them.

I have a K Jones, Stegall autographed, Walby, Stoddard, Brown, Poplawski, and  bought one of the new Dunigan "Royal Blue" jerseys this summer...

 

Have a few blanks of my own that I'll get stitched at some point. Have a 2004 era (first year of Reebok) that I think will be a Charles Roberts...

I love Randle and Leggett but after one season, it's difficult to say how long they'll stick around.

 

Anderson is a safe bet now that's he's re-signed, and he's already put up a couple successful seasons. 

 

Denmark would be decent.

 

I wouldn't risk a Willy or Cotton just yet. I'd definitely go with Willy after next season if he stays productive.

Kuale!!

Sad to say... I have one... only after it was converted from a Poblah.  It's cursed, and will stay in the closet.  Wore a Turner for most of the year!

 

Only a Grigsby or Banks jersey would have outdone the Kuale this season!

A Boltus jersey would be hilarious! I say a Zach Anderson jersey?

Bellefeuille probably already has one. 

I'm definitely considering a Zach Anderson jersey.

Just modify your Thaine Carter jersey.

 

You have a Thaine Carter jersey, right?

 

Everyone should.
