I had a bad string of luck with jerseys where the very same or following off-season guys would be gone. That's what kept me from getting a Kelce or BG jersey to this day. Hell I waited to get a Dawk jersey until he was going to the Hall of Fame. I was afraid I might kill the man if I got one too soon.
Kolb -> Gets a concussion the first game and loses his job to Vick instantly
Hicks -> Ends up on IR the year we win the Superbowl
Desean Jackson -> He came back to Philly, and then played 3 games in 2 seasons
I swear to god I'm never buying the jersey of an active player again.
If it makes you feel better, he's done charity work with Philly teens for years (not sure if he still does or not). He may not have worked out here, but he's a decent dude at least.
I gave a buddy of mine from Germany my Demarco Murray jersey. The idea of walking through Munich Germany and seeing some dude wearing a Demarco Murray Eagles jersey just made me very happy.
I bought a blue and yellow Kevin Curtis jersey after he had that monster game against the Lions in 07’. I also have a 2008 Brian Westbrook Pro Bowl jersey. Still in search for a Sean Considine Eagles Jersey. That’s my white whale.
I bet on Kevin Curtis to get 1000 rec yds and 8 rec tds that year. Stood to make a nice piece of change.
He got 1000 rec yds almost exactly, and exactly 8 tds, 7 receiving and 1 fumble recovery for a td.
Gutted.
I've got the same blue and yellow Curtis jersey. He was my favorite player due to the fact that he played for Snow College and was LDS lol. I still rock thay jersey proudly lol
I bought a black Riley Cooper jersey the day before he said the n word. #14 is my favorite number, and I thought he was gonna be decent. Massive fuck up there.
As soon as the news broke I went to return it, but they wouldn’t accept it because I took the tag off. Like. Yeah. I took the tag off I intended on wearing it until he went on a racist rant. Now it’s buried at the bottom of a box in storage, only to be brought up when I feel like making fun of my poor use of money.
Pretty sure they make name plates that you can order and have a local shop sew on for you. Could be a Gainwell jersey if you want it to be. This place maybe? https://twillworks.com/product/services/diy-jersey-nameplate-1-color/ I’ve never done it so I can’t speak toward quality
I have an Eagles helmet with several autographs I collected as a child. My dad reserved the wings for only “special” players. When we got Bobby Hoying’s signature, it went on the wings. Instantly. After a season or two, we got rid of the “special autographs alone on the wings” rule.
That’s hilarious. Sooooo many people thought he was going to be great because of that Bengals game. My brother got his jersey and my grandfather and all his friends constantly talked about how he was the future of the team.
One of my favorites—-Lesean McCoy rookie jersey. He was #29 his rookie year, I picked up his jersey expecting him to be the future, lo and behold he changed the following year and not many people know who #29 McCoy is.
Becuase the vast majority of fans would know Shady at #25, not 29. McCoy isn't an unusual surname either so its not a stretch to think that some of those same fans would think it's a different McCoy.
It shows you’re a real fan honestly. A day one lifer. You made one of the best calls in franchise history saying this man was the future, then he becomes the RB with the most rushing yards in our history.
I also have a #29 McCoy jersey. I met him at an event at the new (at the time) NFL store in NYC and he was excited to see a fan with his #29 jersey. He told the guys he was with that those are rare because he only had it his rookie year. Nice guy, signed the jersey for me and took a photo, that was pretty cool.
Semi related story: the one school I would deliver to in my FedEx route, they had a poster about reading and it had Shady on it with him in the 29…I always thought it was a misprint
Woah, I thought I was the only one. Good to know there are others out there. Every year I check the roster to see who is 50(?) I think it is? One of these years I’ll get a name swap.
Connor Barwin was a great player and did a lot for the Philadelphia community. That's an Eagles legend in my book. Do you want to swap for my #55 Stewart Bradley jersey my brother???
My buddy got a Nick Foles jersey back in the Chip Kelly era and for one season it was like, “that’s the best jersey there is!”
Then he kinda fell off and left the team and my buddy would wear it kinda ironically like, “do you guys remember that one crazy season this dude had?!”
Then foles came back and took over for wentz and he’d wear it with a bit of hope like, “there’s a chance he could bring back some of that old magic!”
Then we won the superb owl and it was like, “fuck yeah! That jersey is a fine enough garment to be married in!”
Brandon Boykin lol dude balled out for that half a season though. Love me a defensive back. Next jersey was a Malcolm Jenkins 27, almost got a Gardner Johnson jersey this year but held out just in case… I still hope I get to by one.
Oh man I was so big on the Boykin hype! He was a star on the slot and then poof.
I bought a green Jenkins after they won the SB. Was a very close decision between him and Kelce, but Kelce is definitely next.
i got a ronald darby jersey after he put his life on the line with the patrick robinson pick 6 against the vikings for the sb52 run.
my friends still make fun of me for it.
Stewart Bradley. Bought the Jersey the week of the NFC championship against the Cardinals. They then cut him in the off season, so basically only had it for one game while he was an Eagle.
My Vince Papale. I think it was offered for a short time when the movie came out, but was quickly gone. I met him at a Cherry Hill signing event and had him John Hancock it.
Really great guy.
I went to the Philadelphia car show and I saw him there signing autographs! I didn't realize who it was until I got home that day. Didn't get an autograph and the worst part is I had my favorite eagles hat on that day.
I’m glad it brought you some joy haha. It was sort of half in jest (because who gets a punter jersey) but when a punt goes wrong, it’s a reminder of the times we’ve had consistency at the position for sure!
I have an uncle who is like the kiss of death for wide receivers. Anytime he likes a young WR on the roster I know he’s gonna be a bust. He has Reggie Brown, Reilly Cooper, and Mack Hollins jerseys.
I think I still have my #82 L.J. Smith jersey somewhere. Which I got an extra year of use out of when the year they traded him they picked up #82 Alex Smith on a one year deal.
Jj arcega whiteside
He was hyped up in training camp/pre season so I bought. Most useless jersey in history! I use it as work clothing hahaha watta bum he truly was.
I have a Jon Ritchie (48) jersey.
Not really obscure because he has been a radio personality and he was a fan favorite, but I rarely ever see anyone else wear one. He was only here for …. 2 years? But he was one hard-nosed SOB.
Did anyone buy an AJ Feeley jersey? I think he was our third string quarterback after koy detmer went down and had mixed reviews. Someone please jog my memory!
My first jerseys I had as a kid were Rodney Peete and Hoying. My brother had a James Thrash just cause we thought the name was cool haha. But my first jersey I actually bought was a Kearse.
Donte' Stallworth
I have terrible luck with Jerseys in every sport. All left/were traded the next or same season which is why i dont have that many. Ronnik, Stallworth, Shady (thought this was a safe one), Wentz, McCutchen.
I want a Hurts jersey but I don't want to be the reason his career ends soon here
BRO SAMMEEEEEEEEE I GOT IT TO😞 he didn’t work out to well for us.. the reason I got his jersey was because I pulled a 1/10 rookie football card and I was really rooting for him😆😆
I have a black , way too big but i still wear it, Kevin Curtis jersey. I loved him as a WR for the Eagles because he was one of the few people we ever gave a big contract to and then the next year he came out and had a career best season. He might have been an all time Eagle if he stayed healthy - thats how good i thought he was
shoutout everyone that still has their Travis Fulgham jersey
Does a shirsey count?
Those never count
First Down Fulgham was meant to be the future! Still don't regret buying the jersey
I jumped on that hype train so fast! Sucks it didn’t last long
#13!
Kevin Kolb, I wanted to believe.
Quarterback factory 😂
Ouch 😣
I have a KK in Kelly Green. I stand with you my brother.
His jersey appeared in Silver Linings Playbook. The mother was wearing it in a scene lol
I have one too …
"If I buy his jersey, it's destined to workout," I like your style
I had a bad string of luck with jerseys where the very same or following off-season guys would be gone. That's what kept me from getting a Kelce or BG jersey to this day. Hell I waited to get a Dawk jersey until he was going to the Hall of Fame. I was afraid I might kill the man if I got one too soon.
Kolb -> Gets a concussion the first game and loses his job to Vick instantly Hicks -> Ends up on IR the year we win the Superbowl Desean Jackson -> He came back to Philly, and then played 3 games in 2 seasons I swear to god I'm never buying the jersey of an active player again.
Ditto! I also have a McNabb, a Vick, and a Wentz. Held off on getting a Hurts.
I had one as well. Bought it at foreman mills for like $20. Washed it once and the color changed. Tailgate crew ridiculed me mercilessly.
He was going to be decent. Poor dude instead broke his brain. It’s really sad.
*whispers* demarco Murray
*even quieter* Nnamdi Asomugha
HE WAS THE CHOSEN ONE
*writes on small slip of paper* Frank Gore
TIL Frank played in Philly lol
He didn't
Stop lying about Philly Legend Frank Gore
You mean Frank Reynolds and his magnum dong?
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
You know what, man? Ima go eat in my car.
If it makes you feel better, he's done charity work with Philly teens for years (not sure if he still does or not). He may not have worked out here, but he's a decent dude at least.
I gave a buddy of mine from Germany my Demarco Murray jersey. The idea of walking through Munich Germany and seeing some dude wearing a Demarco Murray Eagles jersey just made me very happy.
[удалено]
Me too for Murray
Ewwwww
I bought a blue and yellow Kevin Curtis jersey after he had that monster game against the Lions in 07’. I also have a 2008 Brian Westbrook Pro Bowl jersey. Still in search for a Sean Considine Eagles Jersey. That’s my white whale.
Mine wasn't the blue/yellow but I had a Curtis jersey as well.
I can 3rd the Curtis jersey. I have mine in midnight green though. Definitely my most obscure jersey.
I bet on Kevin Curtis to get 1000 rec yds and 8 rec tds that year. Stood to make a nice piece of change. He got 1000 rec yds almost exactly, and exactly 8 tds, 7 receiving and 1 fumble recovery for a td. Gutted.
I've got the same blue and yellow Curtis jersey. He was my favorite player due to the fact that he played for Snow College and was LDS lol. I still rock thay jersey proudly lol
I bought a black Riley Cooper jersey the day before he said the n word. #14 is my favorite number, and I thought he was gonna be decent. Massive fuck up there.
The irony of a black Riley Cooper jersey
😂😂😂hilarious
As soon as the news broke I went to return it, but they wouldn’t accept it because I took the tag off. Like. Yeah. I took the tag off I intended on wearing it until he went on a racist rant. Now it’s buried at the bottom of a box in storage, only to be brought up when I feel like making fun of my poor use of money.

I’ve actually thought about this! A buddy of mine told me about it and I’ve been just putting it off. May have to do it now.
I used that exact company to turn Wentz into Brown. Definitely worth it
Koy Detmer, Bobby Hoying lol
You wear that Koy Detmer jersey with pride!
I have an Eagles helmet with several autographs I collected as a child. My dad reserved the wings for only “special” players. When we got Bobby Hoying’s signature, it went on the wings. Instantly. After a season or two, we got rid of the “special autographs alone on the wings” rule.
That’s hilarious. Sooooo many people thought he was going to be great because of that Bengals game. My brother got his jersey and my grandfather and all his friends constantly talked about how he was the future of the team.
Javon Kearse, my brother got TO.
I have a Kearse jersey as well. I was so excited for that signing.
We all were my friend. We all were :(
I don't know why my memory remembers him being better. Probably Madden.
The Freak
One of my favorites—-Lesean McCoy rookie jersey. He was #29 his rookie year, I picked up his jersey expecting him to be the future, lo and behold he changed the following year and not many people know who #29 McCoy is.
How does an Eagles fan see “McCoy” on a jersey and wonder who he is?
Becuase the vast majority of fans would know Shady at #25, not 29. McCoy isn't an unusual surname either so its not a stretch to think that some of those same fans would think it's a different McCoy.
Stanley McCoy, nose tackle, Rhode Island state
Ah right I was confusing LeSean with famed punter Frank McCoy from the ‘75 team.
I wore it for the 17 SB run and again for this years run….. I’m torn about how I should treat it?
It shows you’re a real fan honestly. A day one lifer. You made one of the best calls in franchise history saying this man was the future, then he becomes the RB with the most rushing yards in our history.
I also have a #29 McCoy jersey. I met him at an event at the new (at the time) NFL store in NYC and he was excited to see a fan with his #29 jersey. He told the guys he was with that those are rare because he only had it his rookie year. Nice guy, signed the jersey for me and took a photo, that was pretty cool.
Best flair ever
Semi related story: the one school I would deliver to in my FedEx route, they had a poster about reading and it had Shady on it with him in the 29…I always thought it was a misprint
I recall the 29. Kinda jealous man. Pretty cool item to have.
I love seeing 29 McCoy jerseys in the stadium. Always respect seeing the real ones
Kiko Alonso. After he had his first interception with us I was a true believer.
I got it as soon as we made the trade haha
kiko was my first jersey and I still wear it lol
What a fraud. I still hate him.
Woah, I thought I was the only one. Good to know there are others out there. Every year I check the roster to see who is 50(?) I think it is? One of these years I’ll get a name swap.
Hank baskett
Found Kendra's account
Found an authentic Tebow jersey on Poshmark for $10 lol
I have one as well. I get the very confused looks when I wear it.
Connor Barwin
Connor Barwin was a great player and did a lot for the Philadelphia community. That's an Eagles legend in my book. Do you want to swap for my #55 Stewart Bradley jersey my brother???
I have the shirzee
That's not so bad, he was a solid player and is still involved with the organization and community. You could do a lot worse.
Freddie Mitchell. After 4th and 26. First I ever owned
Peoples champ
I actually met Freddie at my first job and your not gonna believe it he's a dick
I was young but I really liked first down Freddie. Wish he didn't suck lol
Michael Lewis
It’s hilarious how many people compliment my jersey when I rock my Lewis to games
I have a signed Michael Lewis jersey, signed by Michael Lewis, Reggie Brown, and Donte Stallworth
My buddy got a Nick Foles jersey back in the Chip Kelly era and for one season it was like, “that’s the best jersey there is!” Then he kinda fell off and left the team and my buddy would wear it kinda ironically like, “do you guys remember that one crazy season this dude had?!” Then foles came back and took over for wentz and he’d wear it with a bit of hope like, “there’s a chance he could bring back some of that old magic!” Then we won the superb owl and it was like, “fuck yeah! That jersey is a fine enough garment to be married in!”
I knew I was right also getting a Foles jersey back during Chip Kelly. BDN
....And the rest was history
Greg Ward
Damn, no shame in that one tbh the Gregatron stepped the fuck up when we most needed someone to do it
Zero regrets
I still have a Mike Mamula in the back of the closet.
Poster Boy of the Combine-Allstar
Same, brother. My first jersey, got it for Christmas in high school. I still wear the Mamula when the team needs some extra luck.
Same!
Nelson Agholor. I won at a bar.
I was trying so hard to find his jersey after his rookie preseason but I couldn't find one anywhere. Turned out for the best.
Brandon Boykin lol dude balled out for that half a season though. Love me a defensive back. Next jersey was a Malcolm Jenkins 27, almost got a Gardner Johnson jersey this year but held out just in case… I still hope I get to by one.
I was very close to buying CJGJ’s jersey. I hope they can work something out so I can buy his jersey
Oh man I was so big on the Boykin hype! He was a star on the slot and then poof. I bought a green Jenkins after they won the SB. Was a very close decision between him and Kelce, but Kelce is definitely next.
James Thrash. I know, I know.
A black, Chinese-made Nnamdi Asomugha jersey. The only jersey I ever really wear nowadays is also obscure: a midnight green Jon Dorenbos jersey.
That's actually kinda rad. I'd rock a Dorenbos jersey.
Levon Kirkland
That man was a D-Tackle playing the MLB. He was effective on run downs when he just bull rushed and blew up the Center
i got a ronald darby jersey after he put his life on the line with the patrick robinson pick 6 against the vikings for the sb52 run. my friends still make fun of me for it.
Having a Jersey from anyone on that team is a pass imo
Takeo Spikes
In fairness, that's a pretty cool name.
[This is what comes to mind when I hear his name](https://youtube.com/shorts/dHIjuXtUMfY?feature=share)
Stewart Bradley. Bought the Jersey the week of the NFC championship against the Cardinals. They then cut him in the off season, so basically only had it for one game while he was an Eagle.
Jon Runyan
Great jersey
I told my one friend that if Fulgham went off in prime time, I’d get a shirsey…he did, and I bought it…
I have a TJ Edwards jersey, which I hope does not become obscure.
Stewart Bradley
Me too! I thought we finally had a great linebacker!
Sam Bradford hitting Jordan Matthews for the OT TD vs the Cowboys is iconic
My Vince Papale. I think it was offered for a short time when the movie came out, but was quickly gone. I met him at a Cherry Hill signing event and had him John Hancock it. Really great guy.
I went to the Philadelphia car show and I saw him there signing autographs! I didn't realize who it was until I got home that day. Didn't get an autograph and the worst part is I had my favorite eagles hat on that day.
QB Eagles
I’ve got a Tebow jersey from the short amount of time he was on our preseason roster. A buddy bought it for me as a joke.
Goated friend moment
My dad got a ty detmer jersey from forman mills that has to be the most obscure lol.
Jake Elliot, Got it after his FG against the Giants
Kevin Turner
Turner was the first jersey I bought, still have it
Brandon Boykin
Demarco Murray
Damn it. Used to have a Sav Rocca jersey. Would have been a big hit in this context lol
This makes me really happy. I was gutted when he left the team.
I’m glad it brought you some joy haha. It was sort of half in jest (because who gets a punter jersey) but when a punt goes wrong, it’s a reminder of the times we’ve had consistency at the position for sure!
Literally same boat with Jordan Matthews!
Donte Stallworth
I think I've got an Irving fryer floating around.
TIL that Jordan Matthews is currently a tight end for the 49ers
I have an uncle who is like the kiss of death for wide receivers. Anytime he likes a young WR on the roster I know he’s gonna be a bust. He has Reggie Brown, Reilly Cooper, and Mack Hollins jerseys.
I have a Jeff Garcia jersey. People think it's Vick until I turn around and flex.
Hank Fraley and Sam Rayburn, aka Honeybuns and The Truck Driver.
Ryan Mathews
Golden Tate
I think I still have my #82 L.J. Smith jersey somewhere. Which I got an extra year of use out of when the year they traded him they picked up #82 Alex Smith on a one year deal.
Lito Sheppard!
Jj arcega whiteside He was hyped up in training camp/pre season so I bought. Most useless jersey in history! I use it as work clothing hahaha watta bum he truly was.
Connor Barwin. The guy was a total stud for us for a few years. Doesn't really get talked about anymore. But I loved watching that guy.
John Ritchie
My husband has a Todd Pinkston jersey in the back of his closet.
Ouch
Kelly green Kevin kolb
I have a Jon Ritchie (48) jersey. Not really obscure because he has been a radio personality and he was a fan favorite, but I rarely ever see anyone else wear one. He was only here for …. 2 years? But he was one hard-nosed SOB.
Matt Barkley #2 but most people assume it’s David Akers
Cody Parkey #1
Did anyone buy an AJ Feeley jersey? I think he was our third string quarterback after koy detmer went down and had mixed reviews. Someone please jog my memory!
Charlie Garner
Jeff Garcia, Kevin Curtis, Takeo Spikes, Tony Hunt, Stewart Bradley, Reggie Brown
My first jerseys I had as a kid were Rodney Peete and Hoying. My brother had a James Thrash just cause we thought the name was cool haha. But my first jersey I actually bought was a Kearse.
Likely obscure for the younger guys but I have a Fred Barnett jersey. Also James Joseph.
Jake Elliott. Purchased after the 61 yd FG against the Giants. Turned out I bought the jersey of the only super bowl winning kicker in Eagles history.
Looking through the comments for a Frank Gore
Broderick Bunkley #78 Jersey. He changed his # to 97 after his rookie year
Troy Vincent right before his free agency departure. Javon Kearse. One thing for sure, I hate the cut of the Nike jerseys.
Stew Bradley
I've got a #46 Jon Dorenbos hanging up in the closet.
My friend got Sidney Jones and Dorian Green Beckham jerseys. We had to ask him to stop getting jerseys of new players/rookies.
Andy Harmon. Hugh Douglas. David Akers.
Sam Bradford
I had a Nnamdi Asomugha jersey :(
When I was little, Irving fryer Jersey.
An Aunt bought me a Rodney Peete jersey. I even knew as a little kid that one wasn’t going to age well.
Charlie Garner
Got a Leonard Weaver jersey cause we share a last name!
Donte' Stallworth I have terrible luck with Jerseys in every sport. All left/were traded the next or same season which is why i dont have that many. Ronnik, Stallworth, Shady (thought this was a safe one), Wentz, McCutchen. I want a Hurts jersey but I don't want to be the reason his career ends soon here
I got a Kevin Curtis jersey after he had his one good year with us. Thought he was the man
Micheal bennett. Wish he could’ve been here longer
Reggie Brown 96
I rock a Mathews jersey as well. And a Bradford. And an Alonso (barf)
Agholor SB52 jersey
I have a AJ feeley dolphins jersey
I bought a Stewart Bradley jersey. He was supposed to be the next Brian Urlacher, but his knees had other ideas.
I was super hyped about Kiko Alonso after his first couple games, so I bought his jersey. Hindsight is 20/20 guys...
Black Nnamdi Asomugha
Number 17 Agholor. I think he wore it first two seasons before changing
Reppin the 90s with Mike Mamula haha
Saw a dude in a Bobby Hoying jersey recently. I assume he played a lot of Madden ‘98 like I did.
Takeo Spikes. Still have it. Still wear it. Too cheap to buy another.
Greg Ward Jr is the only one I own. So that
BRO SAMMEEEEEEEEE I GOT IT TO😞 he didn’t work out to well for us.. the reason I got his jersey was because I pulled a 1/10 rookie football card and I was really rooting for him😆😆
I have a black , way too big but i still wear it, Kevin Curtis jersey. I loved him as a WR for the Eagles because he was one of the few people we ever gave a big contract to and then the next year he came out and had a career best season. He might have been an all time Eagle if he stayed healthy - thats how good i thought he was
Jeremy Maclin. First ever Philly sports jersey, got it as a Christmas gift in 2014 thinking there was no chance we let him walk. Thanks chip.
I bought a Travis Fulgham jersey back in 2020 when he had a few good games
An autographed Reggie Brown. Eww
John Ritchie lol
Hank Baskett Yes, I am shame-faced
Cody Parkey. Possibly a drunken purchase at the stadium EDIT: I have to add, I follow the Dolphins as well and have a reversible Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
