Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

If you know the year and numbers of the time the players played you where golden. There was some good players to be had. I managed to snag a total of about 58 jerseys.

I picked up an Aaron Hernandez 2010 Game / Practice Worn Rookie Jersey...

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

It was a little bit of a zoo. I was #3 in line and I wasn't there to get too many jerseys. I grabbed 4 in total and I already regret 1 lol. All game issued but not used jerseys. I think a lot of people had a chance to get a jersey if they wanted one. There weren't many "prizes" amongst them (I think 1 bruschi and 1 givens) so getting there early wasn't super important. By 9am there was still only 10-15 people in line.
I had a pretty good time. It was good to see some other collectors. These are the first jerseys I've ever purchased so I was in heaven.
Because of the obscurity of players I didn't mind too much that people were grabbing 20 at a time.

If you really regret it, let me know!

My buyers said it was a zoo. They got there pretty early and managed to be in the first 10. Lots of grabbing and pulling but they managed quite the haul for me. Thanks to the Pats for a great sale.

Were all the issued / worn jerseys gone pretty quickly?

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

The tent they set up was wayyy too small for the amount of people in there. A complete zoo, but I was able to pick up a few TI red throwback jerseys, so I'm satisfied.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

there was alot of random numbers as most expected, some worn some not worn. there were a few people that had 10-15 under each arm...alot of numbers as jim said, of cut players. Id say most were from 03-06, randoms like 7,14,62,65, etc...lots of lineman jerseys. I picked up a couple, couldnt beat the price for 50$ for an issued, i think worn ones were 100....there were a few newer ones but i got there like 930 and there was a line already. you would think someone threw money up in the air how mush bumping and grabbing there was. one guy had at least 15-20 in his arm and was giving another guy who had none a hard time when they both grabbed the hangar at the same time...very selfish. kudos to the pats for making this stuff available, definately a quick easy way to clean house and make some money in the process. It was good for fans who dont want to spend money on the expensive stuff in the store to buy a jersey. I dont know if there were dealers there or just fans, there were some with lists of player numbers from different years trying to figure out who they go to and all that. I got a couple nice wearable jerseys that werent worn, so I'm happy. Can't beat the real deal US made jerseys. Im sure we will see some pop up with non matching nameplates and fonts on ebay, but It seems like more trouble than its worth. i really only saw a handful with MHK patches and i think one GU patch.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Save your time/ aggravation of going to Gillette- buy them when they hit secondary market. I live 20 min away and I'm staying home. Practice jerseys? No names on back? Issued jerseys? I would think anything the pats thought would be worth more than what they could get in the bulk sale would be saved.

Yea, I got up this morning and couldn't bring myself to wake my daughter up. I just have no interest in practice jerseys & assume most of the jerseys being held are what I would want. So, if the issued/gamers were such a small percentage anyway, I didn't want to drive 5 hours and get shut out. Plus, I know I'd end up spending $500 between gas/tolls/food & whatever else my daughter would want. So, I'll wait for the next batch on the website & keep my fngers crossed for a Brandon McGowan.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it difficult to find a blank nameplate that matches a given jersey? You are dealing with a wide range of years, so you have different shades of material based solely on production variants of a given lot of fabric. While this is awesome that they are doing this, I wonder if some have big ideas to find a jersey with no nameplate or name, buy a nameplate somewhere and have a name put on and all of a sudden it's worth 10x purchase price.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Can someone who is going to the sale tomorrow email me at corapimatt@yahoo.com please. I would really like to get a white pats jersey of a number under 20 and a size 46-48.

If someone can do this for me I will pay for one of your jerseys to get a name plate attributed in kiss-cut lettering or w/e the style that year jersey had. I have an awesome guy with dead accurate fonts.
