Just a little fun thread to pass some time as we near 2024 NFL Football!

I've always been fairly picky when getting a jersey. I've only added 4 jerseys to my collection... with a stipulation that they had to be all Fin all the way! Bleed aqua and orange.

In 03' at 14 years old I got my first jersey, #84 Chris Chambers!! He was my first favorite Dolphin. When I thought I wanted to be a WR entering high-school (ended up hating getting hit, and changed to DB for my entire HS football career)

In 05' I got my second, #54 Zach Thomas, who became, and still is, my favorite Dolphin of all time. This was my main jersey for many years.

Fast forward a lot later... 2017... my 3rd jersey, #91 Cameron Wake. I loved watching him play for years and felt bad I hadn't supported his engine sooner.

Then, I did a small gamble... (in my opinion)

I hadn't invested in a single QB jersey for miami, because even though I was born into a house that lived and breathed Dolphin football and praised Marino.... I wanted one for my life time that I could actually remember and appreciate. Marino retired when I was 12 so he wouldn't cut it. But in 2021 I went in on #1 Tua, and now it seems he won't disappoint me :)

Now, I'm about to go all in and take a leap of faith... I played nothing but DB when I did organized football... and it's blasphemous I have no DB jersey. I thought about snagging up Madison or Surtain, but I want to support our current squad... and I want it to be bold.

Imma bout to buy a #36 STORM DUCK jersey!!! Let us pray this jersey can be worn proudly for many years to come!!! Putting in all my chips into this kid!! I want to walk around that stadium saying, I believed first!!

So what are your jersey stories? Anybody you took a gamble on and won? Lost? Let's hear it :)

P.S. I warned my father not to buy a Culpepper jersey in 2006... the QB carousel ate many a fin fans pocket 😆
 
The only jersey I have bought in the last 20 years is Tua’s aqua throwback as soon as it was available his rookie season. Prior to that my dad bought me a Zach Thomas alternate jersey at a home game in 2005. My parents are both Dolphins fans, and my dad has a bunch of collectible jerseys from the 70s-00s hanging in his man cave. Think my favorite is a signed Marino game jersey from the late 80s (I would have to look at the certificate to get the exact date).
 
Jason Taylor was my first Dolphins jersey. Then I added Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain. Had the white, aqua and orange jerseys for all three players.

But that was when I was young and thin. Not sure if I'd be able to fit into those uni's nowadays. I've become an overgrown gorilla with a sizable belly to boot. So adding to my collection might just be a bit too much of a SIZABLE challenge today. 😂😂😂
 
My first jersey I brought was Marino having supported the Dolphins since the mid 80's Dan the man really got me into the NFL so it was no brainer I followed Miami, and then when we played the Raiders in London he signed it for me and now it's framed and hanging on the wall.

Others I've had are Tannehill in aqua which I don't have now, Taylor in aqua, Wake in aqua and Tua in white before he'd even taken a snap for us.
 
This might not be a popular thing to do among die-hard fans but I got a custom, quality jersey a few years ago with my own last name (which is a very unique last name) to avoid getting one for a player that doesn’t stay here too long. Was logical from my POV.

UGAxFin on the back must be a real conversation starter at ****tail parties I imagine
 
Ordered a Chambers jersey from NFL Shop. Came with the name Chambesr on it.

Sent it back, they sent me a new one with the right name but 2 sizes too big. Just ended up giving it to a fat friend of mine.

My wife got my a Welker jersey right before we traded him.

Didn't buy a jersey for years until I found a hookup that sells them dirt cheap a year or so ago.
