Ennjay Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Out of all the Bills hats, shirts, sweatshirts, socks, thermal socks, etc. I've gotten over the years, the nicest single article is my authentic home jersey with Bledsoe / #11 on it from three years ago. A buddy owed me a big payoff for a series of favors and put up the bucks for it. Personally, I'm too cheap to ever buy something this good. I'd like to keep wearing it, maybe with a new name and number (I'm between Spikes and Willis, but I'm also thinking of 12 or 34; or maybe just my own name), but I have no idea how to get the old name and number off without making the jersey look like crap. Any serious ideas? (Save the "burn it/bury it/send it to a Dallas charity" posts.) Does anyone know a service or a company that could restitch it reasonably? Has anyone ever heard of bb.com or the Bills store "fixing" old shirts? (And actually I'd rather they went back to the old uni's anyway, or at least the old shade of blue.) Thanks in advance to the serious posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I had no problem replacing the nametag on a jersey. Came out fine and you can't see a difference. I've never changed up numbers, so I can't comment about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Most cities have companies that put numerals/name tapes on jerseys for HS and higher sports teams. Find one of them and they'll help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeRay Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I know what I'd do, if I was stupid enough to have purchased or worn one. You know when your driving in your car and kinda in a hurry and you have to stop at the drive thru, like at burger king, kfc, McDonalds, wendys for some sort of nourishment? Then your flying down the road zipping in and out of traffic eating an eggwich or a burger and all the sh-- in the sandwich is just oozing out all over your shirt and pants and the seats in your car? Well, what I use right now is this old bath towel as sort of "drop cloth" so I don't get that sh-- all over my clothes when I'm eating and driving... you could use the bledsoe jersey for that... If you can't decide what to do with it, just mail it to me. I guarantee and pldege to put that badboy to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever gives me crap about it, but if they do I really don't care. And I save it in particular because a time will come when the Bills win the Super Bowl and when it does come and people see me in my Bledsoe gear, they'll know I sat through the crappy stuff to get to the good stuff.

I sat through crappier. I just couldn't afford to buy jerseys until the late 80s, or I would have owned a Marangi jersey when we signed him in '74. The few jerseys I have are gifts from wifey. Kelly, Flutie (that was for her actually because she can't resist a guy in a mullet), Moulds, and Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a pair of Bills Zubaz pants (in my closet). Around here though most people would think they're Jints - or worse - Patsie pants.

Zamboni Man Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I'm always surprised (impressed? embarassed?) by the number of Zubaz pants that I see when I attend Bills games. I still have a pair stashed away in the closet. I can never bring myself to throw out my old Bills stuff...I have a tshirt from the super bowl in Pasadena with Thurman, Beebe, Andre and Talley on it. Talley has what looks like a hybrid of a mullet and a jerry curl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance to the serious posters. 254777[/snapback] Here is what you can do: #1. Go find a motorcycle gang with burly men. #2. With your Bledsoe jersey on, shout insults ala Peter Griffen "Excuse me is your fridge running? Because if it is, I bet it runs just like you, very homosexually" or "Excuse me aren't you Richard Simmons" #3. Get your a$$ beat to pieces for the total bledsoe experience. #4. After its over, hold a press conference and say "We played well, we just didn't get the bounces we needed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
