Need a little help

by dawad34 on Feb 10, 2012 11:25 AM PST

Hello Raider Nation. I just bought a white Bo Jackson raiders jersey and now I really want a black jersey. Many might not think Bo was one of the greatest Raiders since he only played for a four years. Since I love the #34 (you can tell by my user handle) and Bo Jacksons game I was debating on getting the black jersey as a Bo as well.

Now this is where I need your help. I will be purchasing one more throwback jersey in black but i need reccomendations on which player I should get. I was also debating Marcus Allen, Howie Long or Rich Gannon. Your input would be appreciated

I have 2 jerseys

My white one is Rich Gannon, bought while he was still playing.

For the black one, you need a true villain, a guy who rocked the black like no one before or since. The choice was simple for me- Jack Tatum.

thats true

the black needs to be a dark side. someone that punches people in the mouth (not like seymore does) and gives the true meaning of the black hole. Thanks guys

my fiance is a new raider convert from the steelers

and she wants a jersey too but she loves the #12. I think i rather go with a Kenny Stabler than a Gannon

I have a 'VILLAPIANO' #41

No one knows who the fuck Phil Villapiano was….anyone except old coots and total Raider-maniacs who know he was a kick ass motherfucker who would just as soon beat your ass than shit on you.
Mostly when I go out, people think I had it made with my name, cause I can pass for italian, and the number 41.
They sell some old cool ones, but you can also get them made for players who dont get represented..like Matuszak, Dalby, Guy, Atkinson, Thomas, Banaszak…and Van Eeghen.

How about an Otis Sistrunk throwback

that dude was one mean motherfucker too

"Now I know what your thinking, did he fire six shots or only five. Ive forgotten myself in all this excitement, but being that this is the 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and could blow your head clean off, you have to ask your question. Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk!"

I do,

Does anybody remember this guy?

Talk about smash mouth bread & butter.

If you ever wanted to see Boise St play...may be a good chance. Love em or Hate em, they are always interesting; and now, no matter where you live, "They're Coming To Your City"

bo is my favorite player, if only he continued playing. he said before football was his hobby, can u believe that!!

I voted Howie...

Since you’ll already have a RB (offense), it made sense to me to have a defensive guy as well.

But then again, I’m a defense guy to begin with…

I ended up going with the Howie Jersey

White for the flashy offense with Bo and black for the hit em in the mouth defense. Hopefully we can bring back the glory days

Thank you guys for your feedback

Good choice, I named my cat after him, and my dog after Otis
