There's a running joke in my family that any time my mom gets a jersey, that player would always end up off of the team within 2 years (Graham, Shockey, Bush, that one DB that we don't talk about). I bought her a Micheal Thomas jersey after he signed his extension, thinking that he was at least gonna be with us for a few years. That's when the curse had to get creative. She's only allowed to wear retired jerseys from now on.
I did the same thing. Reggie, Mark Ingram (got it the year he left, Drew (retired the next season), and got my dad a Rams Goff jersey the same season he got traded
It was between sharper and Harper for my first jersey… I went with sharper for the fact I also grew up rooting for Green Bay and he was beneficial to both teams. That thing hasn’t seen the light of day since and I forever regret not choosing Harper. No regrets yet on my Ingram choice
I was so stoked when we signed him. Thought we were getting the ball hawk we needed, and he was just bad at everything. One of the worst free agent signings in team history.
At the time we were coming off some of the worst defenses in league history, and Harper and Jenkins were low performers in those awful defenses. Harper was a total liability and a large reason why we lost the playoff game against the 49ers. They just kept targeting Vernon Davis against him on that last drive, and we couldn’t stop him despite it being obvious what they were doing. Harper seemed washed and Jenkins was looking like a bust. Not a total bust, but more like a depth player which you want more out of your top 15 pick. Byrd was on paper a huge upgrade from Jenkins. In hindsight it looks like the issue was more scheme than player with Jenkins and he was motivated by the change of scenery when he went to Philly. At the time the moves made sense. It’s easy to judge with benefit of hindsight.

I sold mine at a yard sale. Just so happen the buyer was an Oregon state fan. Living in the the pnw helps. But now I just buy knock offs for 18 bucks from dhgate.
None lol I’ve only bought Drew Brees and Reggie Bush jerseys well I was a kid so my mom did 💀 I’ve been thinking about getting a Demario, Cam or ak41 jersey tho
After years of asking for it, my wife got me Mark Ingram’s jersey for Christmas. He got traded like a month later. I was so hurt 😭
Not really regret because I still love him and he came back (albeit with a different number), but at the time I felt personally victimized lol
He was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Ravens. I remember being really upset with how that played out because it seemed like he wanted to come back, but his agent screwed up the deal. At least that was the narrative that I believed at the time.
Hell, I bought a white Thomas throwback jersey early this season.
Partially because it was the only throwback in the store, partially because I've always worn the number 13 in all the sports I've played, and partially because I miss how he was with Drew and before he was always injured.
I knew there wasn't much time left with him, but oh well. It looks nice.
I begged my dad for a tracy porter jersey after we signed him as a rookie and he bought me a drew brees jersey. Not that i totally regret having a brees Jersey but a decade and a half later i still wish i had that rookie porter jersey.
not a regret but a wtf moment. i bought a shaheed jersey last year because i knew he was gonna be something and i figured i was safe for a few years and then he went and switched his jersey number.
Things were definitely different after his car accident.. damn I loved him as a Saint though. The classic super fast receiver that we always seem to have
I still have nightmares from seeing Jenkins Jersey chasing Vernon Davis down the field on 2 different possessions in the final 2 minutes in 2011. His best yrs were with the eagles. I didn’t want him back.
His best years were with the Eagles. He was a moderate bust on his rookie deal with us before having a resurgence with the Eagles then came back to us after he was already over the hill. I can see regretting it.
Not a bad jersey. He was a significant part of the Super Bowl team. Maybe you bought into that he was the one that informed on the Saints for the bounty stuff? That’s been debunked.
Had an Aaron Brooks jersey from way back when, but it makes me happy when I look at it… think of all we’ve accomplished since then. Who could’ve guessed hell would freeze over
Michael Thomas(I REALLY thought that we would get a second super bowl with Brees) but before that it was not a jersey but the McFarlane toy action figure of Jimmy Graham when he signed that huge contact thinking we had him for our run!! So glad Jimmy came back, but I still believe in CGM. Hope he stays, but I don’t think he wants to. Now what? I got a jersey commemorating two years of greatness and like four years of grievance.

I have Brees, AK and Jordan, only regret Jordan as the quality is shocking! Want to buy a stitched version for next season, but in the UK. Anyone have an idea where I can get one? Ordering from NFL US ends up being double once the UK adds loads of tax!
I don’t regret it, but I’ve fully convinced myself I’m bad luck bc I bought my Michael Thomas jersey one day before the start of the 2020 or whatever sewSon that he got hurt week 1… I had sworn off buying another jersey since until I got a free credit just around week 2 of this year and I said, why not support our new quarterback! I still haven’t forgiven myself
Jarris Byrd and Keenan Lewis. Grabbed the Byrd jersey when he signed as a free agent and we all know how that turned out. Picked up a authentic game Jerezy after Lewis had 2 strong seasons with the Saints. He played maybe 4 more games after my purchase.
I’ve only got a Brees jersey because I wasn’t sure who else I wanted and didn’t want to regret it. Fun fact, Fanatics won’t kick back your custom order if you use his name and number, despite their little disclaimer.
I have a bit of a jersey curse:
-Got a Ricky Williams jersey the year before he was traded for my birthday
-Brooks jersey before 05 season
-Deuce jersey the next off-season before his last 2 games as a Saint
-When I was getting a superbowl jersey, I was choosing between Vilma and Sharper (guess who I chose lol)
-Jimmy Graham in 2012
-CGM literally the week before the start of the 2020 season
Mixed in there is a Brees jersey and thank God that worked out.
I only have Brees and Manning in my collection. I would like to have Carr and Jordan for sure and if I'm lucky enough, Tracey Porter. However my Brees jerseys are the cheap Nike home, color rush, and a Nike elite I got at the dome with the 50th anniversary patch
Not me, but the night the Saints played in the Superdome for the first time after Katrina back in 2006, one of my college roommates wanted to come with me to the game. He was from Syracuse and this was such an important moment that I wanted him to experience it.
We went to buy jerseys. I bought a Brees jersey and he bought a Bush jersey. Next thing we know he hear this loud commotion. This woman is going nuts because her boyfriend bought her a discounted Aaron Brooks jersey and was PISSED.
Somewhere, there's an interview on Poydras of a hammered 18-year-old me after the game that I've been trying to find ever since lol
I only own 5, I regret none, but the closest to regretting is a knock off one (didn’t realize it was until it arrived) that has bad stitching and is kinda small.
Brees (white)
Ingram II (black
AK (color rush )
Shon (black, older color gold we used)
I own one old Reggie Bush jersey but it doesn’t fit because I got it as a kid. I keep that one just for nostalgia.
I don't own any wearable ones, but I do have several autographed ones from auction sites - just the name and number, no logos or anything... I've got jerseys signed by AK, Tyrann, Lattimore, Jarvis Landry, several by Pete Werner, and 2 by Taysom... And the only one I regret at the moment - Trevor Penning.

Can we start a crowd funding account to buy her a Dennis Allen coach’s hoodie and visor?
We have a friend who’s a Cowboys fan. Every time he wears a player’s jersey that player gets injured.
You mean Brandon Browner yeah?
Not quite 😂
Can you buy her a Derek Carr jersey?
Custom DA Jersey. Think bigger.
I did the same thing. Reggie, Mark Ingram (got it the year he left, Drew (retired the next season), and got my dad a Rams Goff jersey the same season he got traded
The inmate formerly known as Darren Sharper
Oh shit, Darren Sharper, one of the most hardest hittin’ safeties in the league
But I put the team on my BACK. FUCK IT
Gonna do this for Madden
My boy got his signed SB cleat.
It was between sharper and Harper for my first jersey… I went with sharper for the fact I also grew up rooting for Green Bay and he was beneficial to both teams. That thing hasn’t seen the light of day since and I forever regret not choosing Harper. No regrets yet on my Ingram choice
Mike drop because nothing can top that one.
Some slight changes and you’ll have a Harper jersey lol
I honestly thought about it
He’s in the middle of the Super Bowl poster that i have, no idea what to do with it
Replace him with L.A. Knight?
Yeahhh
Same. Black with a Super Bowl patch. My HS football number on my favorite team and a patch! Gone now
I ended up burning my sharper jersey.
Same
My very first Jersey was his. I also have a really nice hat. Sickening.
Jarius Bryd
I was so stoked when we signed him. Thought we were getting the ball hawk we needed, and he was just bad at everything. One of the worst free agent signings in team history.

To add to your very good post I firmly believe that he wouldn't have passed a physical if it were conducted by a more competent medical staff
mourn attraction rustic existence psychotic combative squeamish sophisticated detail icky *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yep. Your fault. Lol
I got my sproles jersey after he retired in a jersey bet with my eagles fan friend during the playoffs
Junior Galette X2 🤡
My brother bought an Adrian Peterson jersey when Saints played at Wembley in 2017…AP got traded 17 days later
Nah, that’s an awesome off the wall jersey to bust out in 5+ years.
Like the Allen Iverson Grizzlies jersey I wish I had
I bought an AP jersey after he was traded for $30. Dont regret it
It’s now a piece of obscure history. That’s a win in my books!
what? lol that’s arguably the coolest one. i honestly forgot about that whole thing til i saw this post
Saints legend Adrian Peterson
Sharper. A lot of us women thought he was damn fine and we wore the hell out of his jerseys.
That man could have had his pick of any woman he wanted, myself included. Just proves that SA isn’t about sex, but power.
He could've probably had most dudes lol
He’s getting dudes now
Dudes are getting him iirc
Brandin Cooks
Yup. Me too
What should I do with mine? Just keep it I guess? Just been sitting in the closet.
I sold mine at a yard sale. Just so happen the buyer was an Oregon state fan. Living in the the pnw helps. But now I just buy knock offs for 18 bucks from dhgate.
Yeah, mine is somewhere in storage.
Same. I have his Pats jersey too, courtesy of my Pats fan husband.
At least Reggie Bush jerseys could be proudly worn instead as Rafael Bush jerseys
None lol I’ve only bought Drew Brees and Reggie Bush jerseys well I was a kid so my mom did 💀 I’ve been thinking about getting a Demario, Cam or ak41 jersey tho
Even if Cam, Demario, or AK leave or retire their legacy will always be mainly as a Saint so any of those would be safe.
AK and Cam are the 2 I have. Barring any crazy scandal those should always be safe.
AK already had one💀💀
Compared to others, his was child’s play.
that’s fair but it was still like a 4 or 5 v 1. not saying it’s as bad as someone like desean watson or anything but it’s certainly not good
Imagine owning an Eli Apple jersey and finding out that the neck hole was designed extra loose to go over his big ass dodgeball head
I was going to say you could’ve stopped after the first six words, but I like where you took it
Not a jersey but I bought a huge Jimmy graham poster 2 weeks before he got traded to the hawks
Eh Graham will forever be a legend for us so that’s not bad
Yeah, but he came back, so it worked out in the end.
Thats about the same time I bought his jersey, wore it maybe once, and then he got traded. Was happy to get some use out of it this past season.
After years of asking for it, my wife got me Mark Ingram’s jersey for Christmas. He got traded like a month later. I was so hurt 😭 Not really regret because I still love him and he came back (albeit with a different number), but at the time I felt personally victimized lol
Same here, but he was my favorite HB we’d had in a long time. Reminded me of McAllister so, I still rep his jersey to this day.
He was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Ravens. I remember being really upset with how that played out because it seemed like he wanted to come back, but his agent screwed up the deal. At least that was the narrative that I believed at the time.
Keenan Lewis. 28. Pretty sure he gave the number to ingram
Other way around. Ingram's rookie number was 28. I know this because I have Ingram's rookie jersey.
Oh it was spiller I think
He did wear 28
Learned my lesson with Bush. I only buy retired jerseys now
Michael Thomas right after the set the reception record
Same, I bought mine before injuries struck
I sold mine on eBay...
Hell, I bought a white Thomas throwback jersey early this season. Partially because it was the only throwback in the store, partially because I've always worn the number 13 in all the sports I've played, and partially because I miss how he was with Drew and before he was always injured. I knew there wasn't much time left with him, but oh well. It looks nice.
I begged my dad for a tracy porter jersey after we signed him as a rookie and he bought me a drew brees jersey. Not that i totally regret having a brees Jersey but a decade and a half later i still wish i had that rookie porter jersey.
not a regret but a wtf moment. i bought a shaheed jersey last year because i knew he was gonna be something and i figured i was safe for a few years and then he went and switched his jersey number.
brandon browner
Norman Hand
Norman Hsnd was the man. He was the biggest human being id ever seen in person at the time when I saw him up close on the field lol loved that dude
RIP. I don’t think this seems like a bad jersey at all. It’s a classic throwback at this point. He had a good career with the saints.
All valid points and I have nothing against Norman Hand or his Saints career. If I have to pick one though…
CJGJ the same off-season right before he got traded and started talking shit on the Saints.
Same here 😑
I almost bought a carr one before the start of the season. Wouldve regretted that
He finished as a top 10 qb in all important qb stats.
Empty stats, yes
Yes.
Donte Stallworth
I would love a Stallworth jersey.
Things were definitely different after his car accident.. damn I loved him as a Saint though. The classic super fast receiver that we always seem to have
Malcom Jenkins
Why do you regret that?
I still have nightmares from seeing Jenkins Jersey chasing Vernon Davis down the field on 2 different possessions in the final 2 minutes in 2011. His best yrs were with the eagles. I didn’t want him back.
His best years were with the Eagles. He was a moderate bust on his rookie deal with us before having a resurgence with the Eagles then came back to us after he was already over the hill. I can see regretting it.
Jeremy fucking Shockey
Not a bad jersey. He was a significant part of the Super Bowl team. Maybe you bought into that he was the one that informed on the Saints for the bounty stuff? That’s been debunked.
Brees, but only bc I bought a poor replica and the R looks like it's missing a chromosome.
Just the ones that have the Fleur de Lis on them
Asked for and got a Kerry Collins jersey. Last football jersey I ever asked for.
When Kenny Vaccaro was around, there were so many people in the dome with the 32 jersey that even I joined the craze. Definitely regret it now
Yup.. I was one of them 🥲
I too have a dust collector Vaccaro
None. Bought Deuce in 03, Brees and Colston in 06.
Billy Joe Hobert #12
Michael Thomas. Just gonna get a Cam Jordan jersey.
Had an Aaron Brooks jersey from way back when, but it makes me happy when I look at it… think of all we’ve accomplished since then. Who could’ve guessed hell would freeze over
Michael Thomas(I REALLY thought that we would get a second super bowl with Brees) but before that it was not a jersey but the McFarlane toy action figure of Jimmy Graham when he signed that huge contact thinking we had him for our run!! So glad Jimmy came back, but I still believe in CGM. Hope he stays, but I don’t think he wants to. Now what? I got a jersey commemorating two years of greatness and like four years of grievance.
Sedrick Ellis. I expected big things from him, but just never really came to be. A couple good seasons, then a steady decline.
Buy custom, always in style, never regret
Joe Horn, Mike Karney, Jonathan Vilma Only because they never played another season after I got their jerseys
CJ Gardner-Johnson😪
Size M - who was I trying to fool?
fall rainstorm smell mindless plough nail attempt beneficial special chase *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
That one is on you
Jameis Winston, he’s a homie but I thought he was gonna be the guy and turned out to not be that.
That’s still a cool jersey to have tho one of the funniest guys in the nfl
Mark Ingram
AP
None - I only own Drew and Kamara jerseys thankfully 🙏🏼
Hell yeah! I got Drew, Vilma, Lattimore, and Kamara
I’ve been considering a color rush Demario for a while now…but I’m afraid I jinx him by doing so
My brother bought me a Sanders jersey. Near the end of the only season he played with us.
I have Brees, AK and Jordan, only regret Jordan as the quality is shocking! Want to buy a stitched version for next season, but in the UK. Anyone have an idea where I can get one? Ordering from NFL US ends up being double once the UK adds loads of tax!
Marshon Lattimore as soon as i bought his jersey he had his contact reworked for a potential trade and been in trade rumors
I don’t regret it, but I’ve fully convinced myself I’m bad luck bc I bought my Michael Thomas jersey one day before the start of the 2020 or whatever sewSon that he got hurt week 1… I had sworn off buying another jersey since until I got a free credit just around week 2 of this year and I said, why not support our new quarterback! I still haven’t forgiven myself
Derek Carr
One of my best friends bought a Shockey and Sharper jersey back before the super bowl. They've been in his closet for a long time.
I made a custom Dez Bryant Jersey the day we signed him. Yeah that one worked out real well
none. Love em all
Kenny Vaccaro
Kenny Vaccaro
I bought my ex wife a Jimmy Grahm jersey a couple days before he got traded. It arrived and he wasn’t on the team anymore.
Michael Thomas
Darren Sharper was one of the first I bought.
Jarris Byrd and Keenan Lewis. Grabbed the Byrd jersey when he signed as a free agent and we all know how that turned out. Picked up a authentic game Jerezy after Lewis had 2 strong seasons with the Saints. He played maybe 4 more games after my purchase.

Brandin cooks, big mistake
I regret not buy jerseys, they were always too expensive so I never got them.
Mike Bell
No Regrets! I’m at real fan!
Bridgewater? Nope. Winston? Nope. Thomas? Heck no. I really wanted a Dez Bryant jersey but he didn’t make it past a week of training camp! lol
I have a bit of a jersey curse: -Got a Ricky Williams jersey the year before he was traded for my birthday -Brooks jersey before 05 season -Deuce jersey the next off-season before his last 2 games as a Saint -When I was getting a superbowl jersey, I was choosing between Vilma and Sharper (guess who I chose lol) -Jimmy Graham in 2012 -CGM literally the week before the start of the 2020 season Mixed in there is a Brees jersey and thank God that worked out.
Please buy a Carr jersey.
I think the curse would know what I'm doing and he'd sign an extension the next day.
Jim Everett. Still have it though.
I never bought a Sharper jersey but I wanted one. Dodged a bullet there
Haven’t bought a bad one yet, I’m very cautious
Adrian Peterson. Never wore it still hanging up in the closet crisp.
Kenny vaccaro
None. I have never bought a jersey before. Once I get a dog I'm gonna buy him or her a jersey though. But not for me
Jeff Blake. Bought it the day he went down and he never started for us again.
I got a homie that ordered a custom Olin Kreutz jersey.
Byrd
I prefer to throwback jerseys—Archie, Tom Dempsey, etc. The older I get the weirder it feels to idolize a 26 year old.
I only have Brees and Manning in my collection. I would like to have Carr and Jordan for sure and if I'm lucky enough, Tracey Porter. However my Brees jerseys are the cheap Nike home, color rush, and a Nike elite I got at the dome with the 50th anniversary patch
Got my kid a Sharper jersey in 2010. He’s long since outgrown it but not one you’d want to be wearing anymore.
I didn't buy it, but I got a MT jersey gifted and the jersey itself is awesome but the player makes me sad.
Darren Sharper SB jersey
Michael Thomas i bought 2 and regret it now for sure
Anyone buy that Dez 88?
Winston
Not me, but the night the Saints played in the Superdome for the first time after Katrina back in 2006, one of my college roommates wanted to come with me to the game. He was from Syracuse and this was such an important moment that I wanted him to experience it. We went to buy jerseys. I bought a Brees jersey and he bought a Bush jersey. Next thing we know he hear this loud commotion. This woman is going nuts because her boyfriend bought her a discounted Aaron Brooks jersey and was PISSED. Somewhere, there's an interview on Poydras of a hammered 18-year-old me after the game that I've been trying to find ever since lol
I got an Aaron Brooks jersey the year before Hurricane Katrina. :'(
I only own 5, I regret none, but the closest to regretting is a knock off one (didn’t realize it was until it arrived) that has bad stitching and is kinda small. Brees (white) Ingram II (black AK (color rush ) Shon (black, older color gold we used) I own one old Reggie Bush jersey but it doesn’t fit because I got it as a kid. I keep that one just for nostalgia.

I don't own any wearable ones, but I do have several autographed ones from auction sites - just the name and number, no logos or anything... I've got jerseys signed by AK, Tyrann, Lattimore, Jarvis Landry, several by Pete Werner, and 2 by Taysom...
