While going through my closet, I just realized that I only have one jersey left of an active player. My favorite player is off in Cincinnatti now, so now I need to new go-to. I try to have one home defense jersey and one away offense jersey. I also try to stay away from the more popular jerseys like the Bens and Troys, but pick up a guy who's probably got some longevity. At this point, we have so many unknowns in that 2nd tier of players, I wouldn't even know who's jersey to get. I might just go with our #1 and #2 picks if I can find some of those cheap Chinese knock-offs, but I know how the NFL started cracking down on the vendors.

I agree with steeldawg I like players in there 2nd contract with team. What about Timmons? Active player contributes and under rader compared to Ben, Troy etc. also on offense brown might be ur only option maybe pouncey

I go with guys that retired as a Steeler. I have a Webster jersey and a Mean Joe jersey, and have asked for a Ward jersey for my birthday. If/when Troy retires as a Steeler I will probably get his jersey also.

It has to be special and I will only wear it on special occasions. I used to have a Mean Joe, but I outgrew that one, now I have a Lambert. Of the current players, Heath, Ben, Troy, Lawrence and Maurkice would be possibles.

I always prefer to buy the jersey of a player most fans don't buy. I also look and see their contracts and how long they've been signed for. I personally buy the authentic jerseys, the three hundred dollar ones so I like to have them for a long time. That is why I bought a Heath Miller jersey and a Kris Letang jersey of the Penguins. I do have two Roethlisberger jerseys. One I bought when the Reebok jerseys were on sale last year (I wanted a Timmons jersey, but chose the Ben jersey because it was an away jersey) and my girlfriend bought me the 1934 jersey for Christmas. That's how I decide.

Get a Miller jersey or a Pouncey jersey after he's signed long term!

Used to get my favorite players, period.

Now I only get my favorite players after they sign their second contract.

Of course that idea was tossed out last year when my Son asked for a Mike Wallace jersey for Christmas.

Just bought a Nike Miller jersey and I'd like to buy a Timmons next.

BTW - The best jersey's I've EVER bought (and i have about 30) were from the Steelers store in the Grove City Outlets.

They had blank official jerseys. I'm guessing left over from training camp. I bought two for $100 each and hand # 95 Greg Lloyd made and a #98 with my name made....which I thoroughly regret. I'm still trying to find someone who can make the 98 and 86 and change the name to Ward.

I guess my name says it all. I have a few of the players, but always go for my Troy.

When buying a jersey I always want one of someone that you dont see very often. The last 3 jerseys I have bought are Dan Kreider Heath Miller and Brett Keisel.

That's what I do. I like to see commitment before I commit $100 or more on a jersey. I still don't have Keisel or Timmons yet, so that's the route I"ll most likely take this year.

I'd like to have a Charlie Batch. Next one for me may be Shamarko Thomas. I hope this kid pans out. I'm routing for him. Cortez Allen too.

I only ever bought one , and that was #32 because at the time Franco was the chit man !! I got another one last year because i left some chick punch me in the face and then she felt so bad , she gave me a #7 jersey which i wear proudly . Thats not the best way to go about choosing a jersey i know , but aye, it worked for me . I might add that it is plenty big for me to wear . But what i went through to get it , it was well worth it .

I had one, but it kept falling off 20 yards before I ever got to where I was trying to go.
