I usually see a few Redskins jerseys and hats when I go to Wembley games so we're not an altogether dying breed

The question is are they the jerseys of current players?

Well I am not in Wembley but my son did get me a McLaurin jersey for Christmas!

At Bengals/Rams last year I saw 1 McLaurin and a couple of Kerrigan but strangely the majority always seem to be RG3

Most if the original Redskin fans here came from when TV coverage started in the 1980s, use to have an Art Monk Jersey, the last twenty years have somewhat eroded the fan base here ( as everywhere) and you could never be quite sure how long someone was going to hang around, buying their jersey was usually the kiss of death.

Yep, that was when it started for me and what a great time to be a Skins fan. When Channel 4 TV started their 'American Football Show' they employed an NFL consultant named Ken Thomas. Ken's wife Janie was my school teacher, one day she brought a Redskins helmet in to class and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. The rest is history...

As you say when things aren't going your way then fans start to drift away, its the same with any team in any sport aside from the hardcore. The recent changes are only going to have a positive impact as far as I am concerned and hopefully that will lead to success. That success will bring lapsed fans flocking back in their droves.
