Kids are fragile, but nowhere near as fragile as adults make them out to be. Kids survive their parents getting divorced but somehow are destroyed for life because an athlete won't give them an autograph or decides to change their number.

I used to think I didn't give a crap about jersey numbers but now I realize I do because I hate this change.

Just use my philosophy when buying Cowboys merch. ... DON'T.

And the Cowboys jerseys I own are older than 10 years old from players that were already retired.

My Staubach jersey will never be obsolete.

Who wants to wear a jersey with somebody else's name on it? It should always be your own name.

Moral of the story is go buy a jersey for 10 bucks for your favorite player from India or China.

Thinking on it further....I wonder if the league didn't outsmart itself with this move.

People may be hesitant to buy jerseys when they know a player can easily change at any point.

Jaylon may have had to reimburse the TEAM for stock, but is he paying back all the suckers that bought 54?

No.
Well odds are if people were stupid enough to buy a Jaylon Jersey in the first place, they are stupid enough to not mind, and just run out
and buy his new #. Or order it online.
Now if a player kept changing his # and maybe his name too lol people would get frustrated, but other than that they are happy to now have
something else to waste money on !! :D

you took it to literally....clearly I meant go “to eBay”

however I will say I have been to Shanghai and gone to the garment district and for the cost of a plane ticket you can save tens of thousands of dollars in clothes costs


I had custom suits made for 45 a piece and custom dress shirts for 5 each with incredible material

If you have never done it I highly encourage it

This is nothing more than a money grab by the NFL to make up for lost revenue.
