Which Jersey...
 

I thought I would just throw this out there and see what suggestions people might have. I am looking to get a new jersey to go with a new and hopefully lasting change.. shed the old bad karma and start fresh. I don't buy many jersey's so I am a bit conflicted on what name to go with. This is my basic criteria though:

* Not #28. Have that one now... that is the karma I am separating myself from.
* Not #84. I am a JMU alum and have a custom JMU Gary Clark jersey that I wear on Saturdays and the occaissional Sunday(though too many clowns seem to think I am supporting the Vikings and just don't get it).
* I started following the team in the late 70's and have always been a fan. So, anything from about '77 on is in play.
* I try to avoid the most common overused guys even though I loved them. 44,81,etc.
* No #21 -- bums me out too much.
* No current players. I refuse to get stuck holding onto a jersey with a departed player.

My short list has guys like:
#55 Chris Hanburger - "The Hangman"
#72 Dexter Manley
#70 - Just the word "Gut" in place of the name. I have a feeling people would not get that either though.
#27 Ken Houston ? Dude was stone cold. Skins traded 5 players to get him.

Any other thoughts?

Dang... forgot about Clint Didier and Donny Warren too.

That custom Gary Clark sounds pretty awesome, you'll have to post a picture

#58 Wilber Marshall
#83 Rickey Sanders
#71 Charles Mann
#65 Dave Butz
#5 Jeff Hayes

Get a custom # 52 Olkewicz or #29 Murphy.

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it 50 gut, not 70? 70 was chip right? You say most wont get it so I'm guessing I'm one of those 'most.'

Care to explain please :D

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Grimm? Jacoby?

For "GUT" I'd do 50, don't think 70 would be appropriate.. maybe CHIP 70 though

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Dang, you fella's are right. Been at work to long I guess. Yes, it would be a 70 chip.

Okie and Butz. Those have to be considered too. See why this is so tough:-)

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Oh okay good deal, I was getting worried I had forgotten something. I think most people know 70-chip, I mean I'm probably one of the younger guys on the forum (22) and I knew that since I was about 10.

Of course some others would be confused, but I think most people would catch on or people such as myself would be able to tell friends who don't know.

I personally like the idea of the jersey!

Alvin Walton #40!!!

Why not a current player? I can definitely see Orakpo as a 10+ year starter here. The kid definitely has his head screwed on straight.

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Hard to beat Butz or Houston.
I hear ya on current players, they move around too much don't want to get stuck with a Randle El, Deion, or Westbrook jersey

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Ricky Sanders, cuz you never see that one

Re: Which Jersey...
 

Ade Jimoh or Ethan Albright

Was #51 Monte Coleman the only Redskin to be in all three SB victories?
