Miami Dolphins Jersey - What's The One You Regret Buying?

PrintEarlier today, I was in a discussion on Twitter on players changing jersey numbers. That discussion turned into the "old" jersey you have that you can't really wear any more. Which, made me think, what's the worst jersey purchase you have made?
Before I tell you mine, there's one rule for this discussion - it's free of ridicule for buying that jersey. You can't harass someone for having bought a player's jersey. We are all Dolphins fans, and jump at the idea of getting that next great player - and I'm sure we all end up buying at least one bad jersey.
Unfortunately, I have three I would nominate into the category. I have an orange Ted Ginn, Jr. jersey, an aqua Daunte Culpepper jersey, and an aqua Joey Porter jersey. Man, I really wish I could go back and not buy any of those.
So, what's your worst jersey buy?

Ted Ginn,...
Only to follow that up with a Henne. That’s 0 for 2 any way you shake it !

Wow.
I’m not shocked at the Dolphins fan aspect of buying those jerseys. I am surprised you managed to force yourself into buying a Michigan guy’s jersey, though.

Ted Ginn, Jr. Aqua
I destroyed the GINN so i can wear it around the house and look like i am supporting Brandon Marhsall.

Pennington I guess?
That’s not really a horrible one, though…
I actually have two CP10's
One is an orange one when we signed him.
Then, I found a red, QB practice type of one. I love that one. So random.

I can't remember.
It was for sale on either NFL.com or MiamiDolphins.com or something a couple of years ago.
I had to have it, simply because it’s different.

T. Ginn for sure
Cant bash the Porter jersey, as he did have a pretty great year. Albeit only one season, it was still a great one.

My Jerseys
Every year, I go to NFLshop.com and buy a jersey of someone that I hope will be around for years to come. When I first started this, I only bought a jersey from our most recent draft class. This was hard because none of the players that I was spending $275 on their jerseys had ever played a game for us. Here is my list…..
1. Samson Satelle
2. Kendall Langford
3. Channing Crowder
4. Sean Smith
I scraped this idea a few years ago and went with Zach Thomas. Last year I sucked up and bought a Karlos Dansby.
This year, I think Im gonna go with Vontae Davis.
Culpepper!
Biggest Jersey regret I have ever had is buying an Aqua Duante Culpepper. What a waste of money & time.
Zach Thomas: I played against New England twice a year every year my whole career. I learned to not like that team. I wasn't going to join them.
Aqua Culpepper
But I removed the name so it’s all good.

NONE
I have never once regretted supporting my team
just sew a marshall name tag over it ,lol

I only have bought one Dolphin's jersey in my lifetime...
and thankfully I do not regret because it is the one and only Dan Marino

Same here
Except mine is a aqua Ricky Williams jersey and I do not regret it. Ricky was my favorite player of all time, so nothing to regret. At one point (when he retired) I considered taping the 3 into an 8 and taping the “Williams” over and writing “Chambers” on the back (2nd favorite player).
I’m not a fan of jerseys. They’re way too big for me. I could live in them. I think my Ricky one is like a XXL and I wear a medium t-shirt.

I have two I regret...
The David Boston Blue third jersey(the year he got hurt and didn’t play) and Aqua Culpepper jersey.
This is Team Teal. Sharks and Phins.

Aqua Jay Feidler # 9
I liked Jay at the time … but he never really became a star or face of the franchise. To make matters even worse, no other Dolphin will wear #9 (Sorry, but i can’t count Devlin at this point) so I can’t even sew a new name-tag over it. One more reason to loathe the decision to let Drew Brees walk out of town.
Oh well. I still wear it around town on game days (After church of course)
None of them
I’m especially proud to own my #13 and my (2) #54’s

Orange Jay Fiedler...
it’s the best and worst jersey I own because it made me realize that I should invest in a new Marino jersey and never buy another one until I’m sure the player is going to be a star for the Dolphins for years.
That white Dante Culpepper jersey...
honestly don’t even know what I was thinking, i could have sworn it was going to be the year, i rushed into the stadium team store on game day and picked one up… all excited to show it off when we made the playoffs………and that day never came

Not even when he bounced on us did I regret it. How many RB’s do you ever get to watch carry a DT into the endzone on their back…I mean come on.
Can we just wheel Shula onto the field at the start of ever game being pushed by one of the Miami Cheerleaders? Talk about mixing fear and distraction...

Throwbacks!!
i try to buy throwback jerseys to try and avoid regrets from buying one. This coming up season I think I’m def getting a bush jersey tho. A manning one would be better!!.. :D
I only bought one that I regret....
Ronnie Brown. He just never turned into the kind of player expected. Normally I’m pretty safe with jerseys and only buy those of established players like Marino, Thomas, Taylor, Madison, etc. In fact, I was close to buying a Brandon Marshall jersey, but I still haven’t done so. Wearing a Marino jersey is still my favorite so I’m in no rush to buy one of a current player.

Ronnie Brown was playing
at a very high level up through his injury in the 2007 season, throughout 2008 and up to his terrible Lisfranc fracture in the Buc’s game in 2009. Ronnie Brown was a big piece of Cam Cameron and Dan Henning’s offenses and played very well in all of his roles in those two offenses.
For a brief period of time, Ronnie Brown was playing some very good football.

Just saying as in, I don't think you should regret having a Ronnie Brown jersey.
The running back position is a very hard position to sustain productivity at for any long period pf time in the NFL and Ronnie Brown was an intrical piece of the Dolphins offense for a few seasons at the peak of his career.
I own a Kendall Langford jersey and despite him (without any doubt) departing this offseason and never having been a great player in Miami, or garnering tremendous productivity, he was an intrical piece of the teams 3-4 defense and was probably the best pure 5-tech player on the team for all 4 of his years in Miami. He was never by any means the best Defensive End in Miami (not in any of his four seasons IMO) but he had his role, as did Ronne.

An authentic Henne Jersey
though not because of who it was, id wear that thing proud as ever, only problem is I didnt know when I bought it the authentic jerseys are way smaller than the normal ones so it doesnt even kind of fit
Orange Authentic Seau Jersey
and then the year we traded for Marshall I bought a Henne jersey too. Come to think of it… I have also owned a ginn and culpepper jersey too. Damn what a waste of money…. Im going to drink now…
I don't regret any.

I once ordered a very expensive Ricky Williams youth jersey for my son about two weeks before he announced that
he was “retiring” from the game after testing positive once again. I was PISSED! I never even gave it to my son and instead gave it to Goodwill in protest.

I got a Ronnie Brown one
that I cant really wear anymore but I don’t regret it. He was my favorite player for a couple years. I followed that up with a Reggie Bush and thats so far so good.
Only have two
LC39 and JT99. Love ’em both.

i bought a chad henne jersey two years ago...
hoping he’d do great things…..
This may take the cake as the worst...
I get really into the young upcoming players, and I like to wear their jerseys so that people ask, who is that and I can, in short say, “our future, just wait and see.” In 2009, with Fasano trade talk and only one game played, I went out and bought a Kory Sperry orange jersey. It’s so nice, but he only played that one game, with 3 receptions for 103 yards and a td. Then we traded him that offseason. I still wear it around my house because I refuse to not got my wear out of it. Damn you Kory Sperry!

That is awesome
Actually you can wear it for years to come and when people ask who Kory Sperry was?

I bought an aqua Chris Chambers (just before we traded him) and an aqua Daunte Culpepper on the same day
so I regret both of those…

Don't really regret it too much
But, I’d have to say Ronnie Brown. Love the guy, but bought it the last year that he was a Dolphin. Dissappointed that they let him go – and thought that it was a mistake – but after watching him do next to nothing in Philly… maybe it was the right move. My Marino and Z. Thomas were both great choices – obviously!
It wasn't Ronnie's fault, Michael Vick is an aging ball hog. lol

No regrets here.....
I have 4..Mercury Morris (still my favorite) Jake scott, Dan the man all white,and a J.Taylor orange. So I guess I’m 4 for 4……..I want to buy a new one this offseason,but I just don’t know who on this team is worhty of such a purchase.Wake maybe if we sign him to a long contract?
My Fav. Jersey
Is my Marino Jersey and then my Brandon Marshall or Reggie Bush idk which one is better haha

Jason Taylor
Not so much because of the buy…. It’s because when he went to the Jets I turned his name from Taylor to Traitor with permanent marker. I also frayed the arms and bottom of the jersey… and might have scorched the number a little bit with a lighter.
I REGRET THAT.
Randy McMichael...
I really thought that he would be one of the greatest… I made it sleeveless for my wife to sleep in. At least it is getting some good use.

My love for THE MIAMI DOLPHINS is unconditional...period!

God I hope we can knock the Jets out of the playoffs, I couldn't imagine despising a team and fan base more.

Only regret...
is not getting a Zach or JT jersey sooner.
Some slight regret at my Henne jersey. Though I still look at him as a missed opportunity, rather than an outright bust like Ginn.
Still hoping that someone out there will step up and make a Jake Scott #13 jersey, which I would buy in a heartbeat.
And my favorite of all time is still my Ricky Williams #27 Toronto Argonauts jersey.
Where to start..
Daunte Culpepper, Ted Ginn Jr., Trent Green, Joey Porter. I gave up and just bought a personalized one.
