The jersey didn't bother me, but he sure did. Never really paid attention to the game, just constant "yap, yap, yap". Don't know why, just bothered me. Guess maybe I didn't enjoy cartoon characters while watching a football game.

That is an entirely different pet peeve of mine.
Guys always try to talk to my wife because (I am assuming) she is a girl. She actually knows more about the Ravens and the players than most people around us.
She always jokes and tells them she will talk during commercial breaks.

And please, no personal last names on jerseys.
Last time I checked, you didn't make the team as player #69. lmao!

Don't get me wrong, I will have a #52 jersey at some point. [u][b]I kinda like to be a little out of the norm, though. If that makes any sense. I want my first to be a unique jersey[/b][/u], but also a great player and a player that I really like. Its just so hard to choose

Okay I hear ya there. Point well taken.

Maybe the Poe jersey will be for non game day events, which the camo's are exclusive.

In the next couple days, I will be purchasing a Black Ravens jersey. However, I cannot decide which one I should get.


The obvious ones are there.

#52 It seems that most people that have a Ravens jersey have picked this one for obvious reasons. However, I don't know if I necessarily wanna stick with the crowd on that.

#5 While Joe has proven to be huge in the playoffs and is a big time quarterback, I dont know if I really want his jersey.

#27 He is our best playmaker, however Pierce has come on strong and could eventually take over as the feature back.

#20 If his impending free agency wasn't an issue, this would be where I would go. However, my holdup is if he becomes a free agent and doesn't retire. I can't see us having the cap room to retain him and everyone seems to think NE is a great fit for Ed. It would really pain me to have his jersey while he is suiting up for one our most hated rivals in NE (or elsewhere for that matter). If I knew he was retiring for sure, I would pick his jersey.


Now the not so obvious ones

#81 QQQ has been my favorite Raven ever since he joined the team back in 2010. However with his 6 mil cap hit next year, who knows if he will be back.

#92 NGATA is a great name to have on the jersey and is certainly a stud. However, this year he didnt necessarily look like himself

#55 Sizzle

#73 Yanda may be our best player, on the team. He doesn't get the pub because he is an offensive lineman and they don't get much love. I also love Yanda because he is also a Hawkeye. Me being from Iowa definitely adds to my affection of the big man.

#31 Is maybe the biggest hitter in the NFL

What do you guys think?

Best Bet is the FLACCO Jersey, simply because he is going to be a RAVEN for atleast 5 more years.

I would love to get a LQ Williams jersey but lets be real, i don't see him being a RAVEN. Even though i think he should be in the line up. If i had money like that, i would get it.

But my next Jersey is going to be FLACCO, and of course it will be BLACK, Jack.

To each their own, obviously, but I cannot stand those jerseys.

Agreed, i just don't get it.

I do like the new apparel though, example - the smaller fit jerseys, they are jersey but they arn't. i guess you could say they are form fitting a bit. Something like that.

So I've decided, after much debate (because money doesnt grow on trees for me), that Ed Reed is the jersey I'm getting. Especially after watching the latest behind the bench.... Now the decision is either black or purple...

Any thoughts?

Purple.
It looks better in a sea of fans.
Other teams do black.
Purple stands out more.

I agree with this. I am tired of seeing the black jerseys. I'm a big fan of the purple.

Are you sure you don't want to wait and see if he re-signs with us? He's a free agent in March.

Yep, don't buy it from NFLShop.com.

I ordered my SB jersey a week ago and I'm like the 1,000's of other folks likely not to receive my SB jersey before the Super Bowl.

They are listing SB products on their website, but don't have any of them in stock.

Dodgy, Dodgy stuff.

I had thought about that, but I've always loved Ed. He's a great guy, great teammate, great leader. The latest behind the bench from the AFC championship game proved it even further. He is a Raven just as much as Ray is. And when Ed goes to Canton some day, it will be as a Raven. And I think he stays, but even if he doesn't, I'm okay with it.

I ordered my jersey from Football Fanatics. It isn't a super bowl jersey, but then I went on Ebay and ordered the super bowl patch, along with an art patch. Some seller had them as a package deal. Jersey should be here Friday and patches on Thursday!

I really wish the stores would offer a sewn Super Bowl jersey instead of the screen printed ones!
[/quote]

I only saw the Nike game jersey everywhere I looked. So I decided to get the normal limited and order the patch for it to sew on myself
