Speaking of jerseys....

I'm in the market for another Vikes jersey.
Over the years I have purchased:

Cris Carter home purple
Anthony Carter home purple
Chris Hovan road white
Daunte Culpepper road white
Adrian Peterson pro bowl
Chester Taylor home purple

Anyway, I'm currently trying to decide whether to get one of someone from this years team (likely a defensive player or Harvin) or a throwback (currently leaning toward getting a throwback).

If I get a throwback I want one of Chuck Foreman, Alan Page, Fran Tarkenton, Jim Marshall, or Joe Kapp.
My question to all my fellow PPOers is, where's the best place to look for/buy one of these throwbacks?
I checked nflshop but they don't allow most of the names and they would be screen printed on and I'm hoping to get a stiched throwback.
Thanks for anyone who has any helpful advice for me!
SKOL!

You can also get the Randall McDaniel Mitchell & Ness Hall of Fame jersey from that site.

The benefit of wearing a jersey is you can be completely oblivious to your surroundings and the average moron will still be able to tell which team you support.

What do people think about getting a jersey with their own name on it?
I have two, the old white one and the new purple one, both number 69 (my old jersey number) and my name on it. I worry that people will think I jumped on the JA bandwagon but i had it first!!
The only thing that worries me about getting a player jersey was the season after I bought my Randle Jersey he went to Seattle.....I was considering getting a Birk jersey at the end of last season

You know I always wanted a Tark throwback.
Until that is he started acting like a childish, jealous fool when Favre was first being rumored as coming here.
Even though at the time I felt the same way as Tark I still felt he was way out of line being who Tark is and where Tark came from.
I definitely lost respect for him.
Fran Tarkenton is a bitch.

To each there own, I like the player jersey rather than my own name. It might be different if I had a cool nickname or something, but I don't.
Definetly a risk getting a player though, you just never know. I would definetly consider a players prospects of being on the team for a couple years.

Hard to go wrong with a Harvin or Peterson jersey at this point of their careers.
Problem with that though is that everyone has one then.

The jerseys with your own name are always best, providing you jump the rail and run across the field!

Good suggestion but i'd say buy the real mccoy rather than a cheap asian 'jekyll'.

Yeah, I got Berrian which is pretty safe, but not nearly as popular. Allen would be another safe one, but not very original. Hutch would be good, except he kinda goes unnoticed.
