HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I am thinking about purchasing a jersey for the first time in many years. After making great decisions like an authentic Losman jersey, I am leaning toward a retired player, Kent Hull. I can get a custom jersey with Hull's name, but it will not be the actual style that he wore. What is the general consensus on putting a 90's player name on the current style of jersey? I'm guessing only serious fans would even notice? (I can find Hull jerseys online, but nobody seems to have anything other than a small now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) I have a current Kelly jersey that was a gift. I've always thought it was weird. But at least the current style of jersey is similar to what they wore. It was weird seeing names like Kelly, Thomas, etc on the back of those ugly dark blue jerseys we had in the 00s. That's not even close to what they wore. Edited August 12, 2019 by The Real Buffalo Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I was going to make a 33 Gash or a 54 Spielman, just cause I loved those dude. I think it's fine to have an older school player on a modern jersey - to your point, only the die-hards will know BTW, ended up getting a Kelly (not sure WHERE that one went, but now I have one again) and an Allen (felt a little funny getting the QB, but like the Bills, I'm all in on Josh too) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their number is retired any jersey. If not, has to be a time period appropriate one. I don't know why, just makes sense to me that way.

Max Fischer Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have an old style Kelly jersey and it just feels right. I encourage fans to wear jerseys of retired players as long the style fits the era. If I were to get another one it might be Henry Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 My 11yr old son wears a new style Thurman Thomas. It looks cooler than my Mitchell & Ness throwback Thurman jersey.

Dude was A BEAST!!! Sadly, no Hulls. He supposedly kept the majority of his stuff. On occasion, they do pop up and are pricey. That said Champion must have let you custom replica jerseys bc i have seen a few period authentic vintage Hull retail jerseys out there over the years. 11 minutes ago, row_33 said: Was way out of place in a Detroit bar/restaurant a few years ago and half the jerseys were Juice Another interesting jersey. As part of the aforementioned sale, we have multiple champion game #32. The Bills would recieve the 'sets' at the beginning of the year and the 32s would never go into circulation - thus, a back stock mounted over the years and will also be for sale 41 minutes ago, Max Fischer said: I have an old style Kelly jersey and it just feels right.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've owned three Bills jerseys my entire life. Flute, Jackson, and Kelly. I'm buying a red Ed Oliver jersey, but that's only because I've been watching him play since college. And it'll be cool to wear to UH games because it's the right colors and a Cougar player.

Yeah, I dont buy any current/active players jerseys any more. I broke my own rule a while back and bought a Dareus jersey, looked like an ok decision at first, but then we all know how that played out... I have a Tasker and Kelly. Now that Kyle is retired, I'll get one of his. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
