Last night at the Blues game we saw someone wearing a throwback jersey with a current player's name and number on it.  That's just wrong.  It should have someone who played in that jersey.  What say you?

I disagree, Stl.  If someone likes the style of the old throwback jersey but wants a current player, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Technically they have the right to wear whatever they want, but style wise it's tacky as hell.

To you and me it may be, but maybe not to them.  To each his own dude.

StL: do you mind if an ex-player from a bygone jersey era has a jersey for sale under the current jersey set?

For example, would you find it wrong if the Dolphins sold an orange Marino jersey, despite the fact that he never played in orange tops?

According to the NFL, you cannot buy a custom jersey in the name of a former player's team that the player retired from.  So purchasing a Marino jersey in orange would be impossible.

Wow, I had no idea.

I agree with Wilbon...I just want a weekend of Wear your Regular uni's..... Cheesy

Yeah,I think it's odd tto see a Mark Duper/Mark Clayton/Dan Marino Orange jersey..When they never wore it....I guess if bothered people so much...They shouldn't buy them....

I admit, I don't want a Aramis Ramirez '84 Chicago Cubs Jeresy....So for Me I agree with Stl,but I think it's ok if they make them....

Modified to add..What about the Navy Blue Dolphin jersey's,or the Old Black ones? I have a Navy Blue Chris Chambers....I bought it because it was different....

So what happened if my name was Jim-Bob Marino, the NFL can tell me I'm not allowed to buy an Orange Phins uniform with my own name on it?

Surely in your sue first ask questions later legal system, there must be a great legal challenge to that rule?

Most of the players from today have worn some sort of throwback jersey for a certain game (NFL) or series (MLB).  For instance the Broncos wore the 1961-63 home/away jerseys the last 2 weeks, therefore their current players have worn it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it if someone gets a throwback with a current players name on it.

Even if I could get that, I would not because he never wore it.

I was hoping that the Broncos would wear their other throwback jerseys. There is a jersey that they have before they redesigned it with the traditional block D with the horse snorting out of the D. That jersey is almost as bad as the bumble bee jersey because the horse looks drunk on the side of the helmet.

Any way, original jerseys should have the original names of the players on them.
