Another Fan Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I still have a C.J Spiller one. I won a Victor Cruz jersey around that time. So I traded that jersey for a C.J Spiller one with a Giants friend of mine. Water under the bridge at this point but I though after Spiller’s 2012 season he finally turned a page. Seeing a Josh Allen jersey for sale made me of think this. As much as I’d like to see him succeed that’s kind of a risky investment so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Seeing your post made me think of this topic we had here a couple months ago: But being that its a long off season & that we've had more than our fair share of players who haven't worked out, theres no shortage of jerseys i imagine that'd fit this list. I don't have the money to buy jerseys like i'd like to, especially investing into a player that may end up gone, like my Fitzpatrick or McGahee jerseys. So now a days I'll put my own name on the back of it, since you can't ever go wrong with that. PS: I'm glad I never bought a Poz or Dareus jersey. Come to think of it, there's not many BIlls players i'd want as a jersey. But all that's starting to change. Maybe that in itself is a sign that times here are changing... and for the better!

My wife has had the worst luck, as her last two have been Spiller and Watkins. My current jersey is Tyrod. I’m thinking I might spurge for a nice Thurman Thomas jersey that I will be able to wear forever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thurst44 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I've never really been a jersey guy, but in 2013 I went to the Andre Reed HoF induction and in my excitement decided to get my first one there. They only had two choices, Manuel and Watkins, so obviously (h/t then coach Dougie) I went with the latter. Knowing I can be a bit of a jinx, my friends razzed me, but figured Sammy was a sure thing at that point. Oh well. One of the friends from that trip has a picture of his two kids wearing jerseys of JP Losman and Fitz, with him wearing CJ Spiller. He calls it the "Timeline of Bills Misery." Another friend has a host of these, but he's a comic and has a tendency to send away for jerseys of pre-season stars like Arthur Moats and Jordan Mudge. He bought one of Eddie Yarbrough last year, but it turned out to be a t-shirt. Although two of the three I named here actually exceeded expectations, so...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I’m from the mindset that a grown man doesn’t wear another mans jersey. Love wearing Bills gear and every time I do I get a ‘go Bills’.

GymShorts84 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) I have a Jairus Byrd jersey that I bought at the game against Seattle in Toronto. I realize all that is wrong in that statement. I thought Byrd was going to play centerfield for the Bills for a decade. I cant stomach to wear it after the way he left. He makes me second guess every jersey purchase I make. I will send this jersey to anyone who wants it free of charge. I also have a Stevie Johnson jersey. I wear that most Sundays. He will always be one of my favorite Bills. He had a great few years in Bills Uniform and wanted to break the drought.

The punter may have signed it for all I know, but the son who bought is nearly as smart as he is frugal, which is to say..... VERY. He did his research before shelling out the big bucks. He got the jersey back, and his children will probably get it from him. It’s a special heirloom at this point. He shall pass on the curse, if I’ve trained him properly. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Bills all-time best, yet still seems to get slightly below the national credit he deserves. How he was not a first ballot HoFer still eludes me. Also, at that Reed HoF ceremony, was looking at phone, trying to set up meeting with friend, looked up and saw Thurman (walking with Kelly and their wives) with his face about a foot away. So, of course I said "oh, hi, Thurman Thomas" in a very weird way. He turned around amicably, while his wife gave me a very amused smile, so it would commemorate that ... moment(?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
