First Jersey for the Girlfriend

Gmanc711 · 05-23-2009, 12:24 PM

So I bought my new HD Samsung TV back in January and it came with a $200 NFL Shop Gift Certificate. It just FINALLY came today, so in addition to getting myself something cool, I've been dating my girlfriend for almost 9 months now, and its going swimmingly, so I want to get her a jersey... my only question is who should I get?

Her favorite player for some reason is Carlos Rogers because of how he dances, but I don't trust him to be here after this year, so I'm not going with him.

Cooley is her second favorite, and while I love Cooley and have a few jerseys of his myself, I kind of want her to have something different...

So who do you guys think? It can be any player, as I might do a customizable one.... Thoughts?

what the good old red snapper? and I love the word swimmingly

I would get a Devin Thomas Jersey. The 11 has a slimming effect, Not trying to imply anything, But women think about that sort of stuff.

That's hilarious that you said that. My girlfriend and I were talking about Redskins apparel on Thursday afternoon. She has a few t-shirts, a sweat shirt, and even the thong (yeah, I'm lucky), but no jersey. Mind you she grew up in Orlando and didn't even follow pro football until she and I started dating, so her allegiance to the Skins has gradually grown over the past few years. She's thinking of getting a Campbell jersey, but she said, "I think I'd look more trim wearing that receiver who has #11" Not like she's heavy, but yeah, chicks are chicks. They're probably worried about chewing gum making them look fat.

That said Gmanc, I'd get her the Rogers. It's her favorite player.

I got the same deal with the Samsung TV. I really want to get one of those Redskins leather recliners, but they're like $1000

Colt Brennen of course.

Or Laron Landry. They'll both probably be here awhile. Couldn't go wrong with Orakpo either. I gave my GF Kelly last year. Hopefully he gets onto the field and becomes the beast I think he can be. She has Cooley also.

BIG AL #92, he's gonna be here a while. And play lights out ball.

Good choice...plus, if she "fills out" the jersey down the road, it won't look so out-of-place.

Custom #69 jersey with your last name on it, so you'll get it back if things don't end up swimmingly.

GTripp0012 · 05-23-2009, 04:21 PM

If you want a jersey that is going to be around for awhile, and will be generally noticible to the upstate NY viewing public, I'd go with Landry, but Orakpo and Haynesworth are also good choices.

You can't really go wrong with Cooley though.

It's a risk, but I have a strong feeling that this isn't CR's last year here.

Ruhskins · 05-23-2009, 04:40 PM

I would go with Cooley too.

vallin21 · 05-23-2009, 06:33 PM

Cooley is the best choice, but Hall is a nice option too.

Crash · 05-23-2009, 07:31 PM

I got my wife a Cooley...I would also consider Moss

SC Skins Fan · 05-23-2009, 08:30 PM

My wife has a Cooley EQT and a Portis authentic (that I have kind of taken for myself because 48 is too big for her but is the smallest that Reebok makes). But I think her favorite is a London Fletcher replica and you don't see many of those around. Of course he probably won't be around for the long haul given his age.
