Edgerrin James Jersey

PrintWe have all seen them. We scoff and say "Hey! Look at that loser! Pony up and get a new jersey, shooter." I hate it when I see jerseys of players that have recently been traded, retired, or gone unsigned *cough* Vanderjagt *cough*. But as the years pass, I feel the Edge is inching closer to throwback status. Which leaves one question. When, if at all, will the #32 James jersey be acceptable in public?

Edge is like the second most popular Colts player, and he hasn’t been a Colt for a long time.
If you don’t want yours I’ll give you $5 cash for it. LETS DO THIS
Edge's jersey
has always been beyond acceptable, imo.
"I throw, you catch. It's NOT that hard!"
Peyton Manning, SNL, 2007
Harrion's Jersey
Is Harrison’s still acceptable?
"I bet Eli doesn't even have one touchdown today, ... I'm the best Manning."
-Peyton Manning
I bought my Edge jersey for $15
when the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl. I wore it that once and when Edge was an honorary captain for us last year in the AFC Championship game. I don’t mind that much when people still wear them. I only get depressed when I see Stokley jerseys ’cuz I miss him so.
It's ALWAYS
Acceptable to wear old players jersey’s, except when they do something to disrespect the franchise….like molest a kid or rape a woman..or Mike Vick…
I own a practically mint condition Harrison jersey, and I still wear it on special games…..hard to find them in larger than XXL…
One Rule of Thumb
a buddy of mine uses is to wait until the player in question retires, then you can wear the jersey again. Personally, I think that you should wear a great player’s jersey unless he’s become a db. So I’ve never stopped wearing my Edge jersey.
ok different question
as a fan of one team who admires a player from another team, is it acceptable to wear a jersey of said player? or is that just plain blasphemy?
"I'm pretty sure my cats been reading my diary"
That one is hard to break down.
Here’s how I’d do it…
In division – Absolutely not!
In conference – I’d advise against it, esp. if said player plays for SD or NE
In NFC – eh, why the hell not? I rock a Giants shirt and an Eagles shirt every now and then :)

Considering the near legendary status of Edge and Harrison, I’d say that they’re ok. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone that wears either, mainly because jerseys are really expensive and they were both key contributors to the franchise. Also acceptable: Glenn, Manning, Wayne, Clark, Saturday, Mathis, Brackett, Vinatieri, Freeney, and Sanders.
Unacceptable now, but might be in the future: Garcon, Collie, Bethea, Gonzalez, Bullitt, Sessions, Wheeler, Addai, and Brown.
Never acceptable: Gardner, Vanderjagt, Sorgi, and Simon. Any of those will get you made fun of mercilessly.

Interesting perspective on which ones
are unacceptable now but maybe in the future
How can you not love a team that does this?
What? What's wrong with any of those guys that are in your "unacceptable now" category?

Everybody in the "Acceptable’ category either retired on good terms, is a franchise legend, or will be one day.
Everyone in the “Unacceptable Now, But Might Be Later” category is a good player, but needs a pro bowl berth and/or a second contract. Especially a second contract. Otherwise, you end up wearing the jersey of a guy that’s tearing it up for another team. Out of that list, I would say Bethea, Bullitt, and Sessions are the most likely to move up to acceptable soonest. I see all of them being signed to second contracts and either being Pro Bowlers or very valuable contributors. Addai is good, but I’m not sold that the Colts will resign him, although if you bought his jersey after the Super Bowl season, I’m willing to let it slide. Collie, Brown, and Garcon need more work before they move up, although I’d consider them strong contenders. Wheeler is the least likely. He’s okay, but not quite as good as Sessions.
For the record, I bought an Authentic Manning jersey. This season, I’m getting a Freeney Jersey.

Ah okay now after seeing your reasoning it makes much more sense!
I think you had most everyone befuddled! The white Addai was bought after SB season, my blue Addai was won.

I want a Bullitt jersey.
Such a cool name and player. Why would he be “unacceptable” now?

Sanders is acceptable but not Bethea!?
I won’t own a Manning jersey until he retires. He gets so much love already, I love supporting the other guys. I have Addai, Clark, and Garcon. The Garcon jersey was a christmas gift though, ’cuz I always complained about him not catching the ball.

I mean, I still wear my StL Cardinals Rolen shirt
And he now plays with the rival Reds.
It is always acceptable to wear the jersey or shirt of a former key player of the team you are a fan of.
I have to disagree with one thing that Monkey Business said. Addai is a good player the Colts won a Super Bowl with. I would be more than happy with an Addai jersey.
St. Louis Cardinals and Indy Colts fan. Avid fan of the Springfield Cardinals, the Cards' AA team!
I have two Addai jerseys
A blue and a white, love em both and have no clue why they would be “unacceptable”…….

I always wear my marshal faulk jersey on game day. I don’t really care for the guy, but it’s like my “lucky” jersey. It’s been good for 12 wins a year for a long time now. My sister got me an authentic manning jersey last year, so I might have to retire the faulk jersey.
"Are you f*cking kidding me???"
While we're on the subject of jerseys...
I have a DFree93 jersey. Completely authentic with the hand stitched this and that, yada yada the only problem is – it’s the SB44 jersey. My wife won it in a giveaway at her work. Is this jersey okay to wear? I mean, it’s got the giant ugly orange reminder of SB44 on it…

Bought my brackett jersey
for the superbowl, before anyone knew whether he would get extended. Love GB and was willing to take the chance.
"We ARE going to our own private island, Chris: it's called the State Fucking Fair!"
Gotta say I'm glad your gamble paid off :)
He’s a leader on that team and a class act. I hope he doesn’t miss a beat for at least a few more years!

Manning is, obviously, The Man
but EVEYBODY and their brother is wearing his blue jersey. I’ve got Clark in blue and his 2010 Pro Bowl Jersey (awesome, BTW), my wife has Collie’s Blue, daughter has Manning’s 2010 Pro Bowl and son has Manning in Blue (he is a purist!) Smallest daughter has Manning in… PINK! I am probably gonna get a white Clark to complete the set and maybe even a black Clark for special occasions.
