OT - Customized Jersey Help

[devilfan02]

It was great seeing Plummer back in Glendale today and it inspired me to look into getting a red Cardinals customized Plummer jersey. I just tried to order one on NFL.com but it won't let me complete the order.

It's telling me that my order (#16 with Plummer on the back) doesn't confrom with their rules. I find that odd since I've seen folks wearing the same jersey I'm trying to buy.

Does anyone have any tips/recommendations on how to get around this? Thanks in advance and Go Cards

Jake Plummer??
You might just have to put 'The Snake" on it...

This is odd. I tried #17/Hart and got the same response. Saw this in the description:

Player names cannot be printed on the team's jersey from which they retired

Now I can go to the NHL shop site, pull up the Flyers, pick a jersey, put #1 on it and the name Parent with no problem.

My guess is that since he's not active maybe that's why it won't complete. The people you see might have had it made (or bought) at the team shop.

Sounds like your trying to customize a jersey with a name the NFL has rights to.

I was able to find the rules which don't make any sense. What's the point of offering "customized" jerseys if you can only get jerseys of active players??? I'm going to assume that its an error on the NFL's part. I'll probably call them tomorrow. Here are the rules -


Player names must match the current team rosters and the team for which they currently play.
Retired player names cannot be printed on the team's jersey from which they retired.
Adult and youth jerseys have a maximum of 10-12 characters.
Characters accepted are capital A-Z and spaces in the name field; 0-9 in the number field. Each space counts as one (1) character.
No slang, phrases or profanity will be accepted.

Good call - didn't think of the Team Shop

The odd thing is, what if my last name was Plummer, Hart, Gray, Lomax, or even Gay, like Saints DB Randall Gay. Their custom jersey rules are ridiculously stupid. IIRC putting Mexico on the back of a jersey is also forbidden mostly thanks to Mike Vick.

Weird. I once saw a guy at the game with a #75 Leonard Davis Jersey. Except it didn't say "Davis" on the back. It said "False Start".

The good news is that the Cards then handed out that jersey to Levi, so the guy didn't need to buy a new jersey.

You can get it customized at the team shop - and he doesn't have to be an active player.
