Re: The Officially Unofficial Man Cave/ Redskins Room Thread
 

Hey guys Im a newbie on the board and I have a question for those of you that used the Redskins burgundy paint from home depot. I painted my skins room using this paint and after two coats of primer and five coats of the paint it still looks purple. I took it back and they remixed it for free...but the new paint now looks pinkish! If you have any advice on matchin our color, I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to eventually hang jerseys on the wall and I want it to match.

Take the jersey into Lowes or Home Depot and they can match the paint to it. For a dark color you're going to need to do some serious priming. They can tint the primer for you too. Get quality paint and primer, it makes a difference.

Re: The Officially Unofficial Man Cave/ Redskins Room Thread
 

I tried taking in a jersey and they said the color was too inconsistent for their computer to match. It seems like the million skins things I had were all different shades of burgundy. My wife says I should just live with it, but man its been a dream of mine since I was a kid and I just want it to be right. Im also eventually goin with a black olhausen table with either burgundy or wine cloth....but it all hinges on the paint color. Also how can I post a pic on here? Thanks again guys.

Have you tried Sherwin Williams?

Re: The Officially Unofficial Man Cave/ Redskins Room Thread
 

My advice (having painted almost every house I've lived in) is to try Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams. They tend to do a better job and have more trained paint experts than Home Depot or Lowes. If I'm just painting white or a casual color, I'll go with the cheap stuff, but if I really care about the exact shade or am having difficulty covering the bottom coat, the smaller paint stores do a much better job (albeit typically a bit more expensive).

Re: The Officially Unofficial Man Cave/ Redskins Room Thread
 

I wouldn't worry about getting the burgundy perfect, as long as you're in the ballpark it's going to look just fine.

My Uncle used to have sideline access because he used to do some photo work with his father-in-law for the sporting news. He could get sideline access and he had a ton of photos of players on the field from the late 70s and 80s.

This particular photo that he took though is from his seats which were on the 40 or 50 yard line. I took this particular photo and only cropped it a bit to put the posse more in focus. When the players came to various shows (CSA and I went to the Howard County Fair), I had them sign it then. The players really liked the photo and I gave a copy to each of the players and they really loved it. My uncle had offers to buy the original photo from a vendor at the CSA, but my uncle decided that he wasn't going to sell it.

Looks like Danbury Mint. I have the Darrell Green, have been unsuccessfully looking for the Hogs. not sure if they make any of those figures anymore.

Re: The Officially Unofficial Man Cave/ Redskins Room Thread
 

Thanks DG28. I have thought they might be Danbury. They seem hard to find. I did see a hogs one on E-bay a while back but they wanted a small fortune for it.
