    Friendly UPS man showed up today.....along with an invoice from Irish customs!
    Word of warning to those who use www.nflshop.com, you will be paying VAT and "administration fee"

    But I did get my stylish Joe Flacco Ravens jersey.
    It was worth every cent to buy the Premier over the replica, looks great with the stiching.
    As for the authentics, not on my lowly wages!

    I've even thinking of buying another, I have the purple Ravens so may get the white with another players number and name. Ray Rice or Michael Oher maybe

    So how many jerseys have you?
    Who can claim to have the most extensive collection on boards? :cool:

    That Admin fee is normal and a pain in the ass but it has been around for a long time. You are paying them for the pleasure of picking up your package from Customs on your behalf :D:D:D I dont mind paying the tax meself but the Admin fee is a joke.

    Moved house and lost a fair few to this day could never find that box of clothes containing at least 5 jerseys :mad: As for whats left as I play also I used to buy cheap jerseys more college than NFL to throw over my pads at practice:

    Authentic Pats Customised Jersey 62 and my own last name
    Tom Brady 12 Home Jersey
    Packers 74 Kampman Jersey

    Georgia Tech Jersey
    Georgia Bulldogs Jersey
    4 Boston college jerseys
    Miami U's Jersey
    VT Hokies Vick Jersey
    Texas
    Wake forest
    Army
    WI badgers jersey

    I think thats it. Fair few of them with holes all over them :D

    That's all the jerseys i have but I've heaps of NFL equipment stuff that I use for the gym and rugby, they do some really good compression gear and I got three or four of the speedwick tshirts as well as the mesh shorts.

    The best bit of American sports kit that i have though is my powder blue Pittsburgh Penguins Crosby jersey. Just wish I could wear it out and about without looking like a complete tool


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭Realex: Jonathan


    On the issue customs and excise, i order a lot of my stuff from www.footballfanatics.com and although it takes a little bit longer than eastbay i've never paid customs on it

    Steelers: Authentic home (cost bomb from us not my doing) Big Ben no7 on it

    Thinking steelers away now but looking at maybe college jersey, or texans or something of the sort.

    I have a similar problem, bought as New York Rangers ice hockey jersey when in NYC a few years back. It was only when I got back I realised it was a red/white/blue jersey with Rangers written across the front. Got a bit of hassle for wearing that, now I only wear it around the house.

    I've got:

    Custom Raiders #7 with my surname on the back.
    Raiders Throwback Howie Long #75.
    Raiders Tyrone Wheately #47 White
    Raiders Randy Moss #18 (Currently used as a doormat).

    I notice a lot of you guys have jerseys for teams you don't follow, why is that? I know i couldnt wear another teams jersey.

    Yeah im the same. The Packers Jersey I have was bought for me as a present and I have a strong connection with WI and I dont wear it to be honest unless I go to Lambeau. But if I could get away wearing my Pats Jersey in GB I would haha :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,500 ✭✭✭ReacherCreature


    Just replica's for me. I don't know but I don't like the look of the sitched jerseys for some reason.

    Patriots: Brady, 12, home.
    Patriots: Brady, 12, alternate. (Grey)
    Patriots: Moss, 81, home.
    Saints: Brees, 9, home.

    You can like a player or a team without supporting them and to be honest I wouldn't be diehard about any team really cos there's no immediate link whereas in basketball I'm a Sacramento Kings fan cos I went to college there for a semester. Cards and Lions I've always liked and Saints and Texans would be other teams I like. Next jersey I get will probably be Demarcus Ware TBH, but don't like Dallas.

    Forgot to mention, I'm dying for a Jason Witten jersey!

    Agreed. No way i could wear any other Jersey than a Seahawks one, or any other NFL gear in gereral other than Seahawks stuff.
    Got a load of gear in Seattle last year but not too many jersies, mostly hoodies, tshirts etc. However, the pride of my collection is my Largent throwback jersey, what a legend.

    Ya i feel the same way. I would by any teams jersey apart form rival teams. And weirdly I have every single one the giants rivals jerseys!

    I have a McNabb home eagles jersey that was bought buy a relation who knew I liked football but didnt know who I supported. I will never wear it! I have Tony Romo home dallas jersey bought for me as a joke but ive no real problem with Romo so it not too bad! I did buy a redskins home jersey, Its a Sean Taylor home jersey. I bought it after he was killed because I always admired him as a player and It was such a tragic loss when he died. I can put stuff like rivalries aside to honor a great player like him in a small way.

    Apart from that I have,

    Giants Brandon Jacobs, home jersey.
    Giants Eli Manning, home jersey.
    Giants Jason Sehorn, home jersey.
    Giants Jeremy Shockey, home jersey.
    Patriots Ty Law, road jersey.
    Patriots Tom Brady, home jersey.
    Patriots Randy Moss, home jersey.
    Colts Peyton Manning, home jersey.
    Texans Andre Johnson, home jersey.
    Titans Vince Young, home jersey.

    Chiefs Priest Holmes, home jersey.
    Raiders Darren McFadden, home jersey.
    Chargers LaDanien Tomlinson, home jersey.
    Steelers Troy Polamalu, home jersey.
    Bengals Carson Palmer, home jersey.
    Falcons Michael Vick, old home jersey.
    Saints Reggie Bush, home jersey.
    Rams Kurt Warner, home jersey.
    Cardinals Matt Leinart, road jersey.
    Seahawks Matt Hasselbeck, home jersey.
    Bears Devin Hester, home jersey.
    Lions Calvin Johnson, home jersey.

    What does LFL stand for? :confused:

    ----

    I own two Notre Dame replica jersies that I bought over in the States. The standard navy home one with Brady Quinn's number on it, and a green one (yes, I know no - one should probably ever buy that one :o) with Jeff Samardzija's number.

    I am truly the king of American sports related hoodies though.
