If fans purchase jerseys from the team website or stadium store and the players whose names are on the back leave the team within a year of purchase, those fans will receive a 25 percent discount toward the price of the next Patriots jersey they buy. Fans, who will have two months from the day a player is no longer under contract to make a new purchase with the discount, do not have to return the original jerseys with the names of former players.
Last year, the team took the unprecedented move of allowing anyone who had bought a jersey of Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with murder, to exchange it for the jersey of another player. More than 1,200 fans took the team up on the offer...

Those prison outfits are funny as hell!
Great idea! I've gone to buying name-less sports gear for that very reason. And also in case some player you used to love goes and makes an ass of himself somewhere else (Brett Favre, cough cough).
A couple of years ago the Phils traded the beloved Hunter Pence just in time for his bobblehead night at Citizen's Bank Park.
It was kind of awkward.
My wife still proudly wears her Shane Victorino T-shirt.
Jamie Moyer, too.
That sort of sentimental loyalty's really not so terrible a trait in a woman.
Maybe I should try to get away with something dastardly.
You could, Eric ... but she might trade you for a player to be named later!
I'd say they were kidding, but I know better.
Only children should wear jerseys with professional player's names on them.
But infantilism runs rampant these days. Grow up, people. You are being played by millionaires and billionaires.
Needs must run - OWS meetup!
I won't go so far as Sixty.
It's okay for chicks.
If they're hot, even better.
When picking up a chick for a one-nighter, it's always a good idea to first imagine how she'd look wearing one of your white buttondowns.
Jersey's are expensive, so I'm glad they allow the exchange. Yet, even with the expense, I ponied up a little more to get my own name on back with a number of my choosing. My support of millionaires only goes so far.
The NFL makes tons of money off them jerseys.
Once I was at Lowe's on a Sunday morning during football season. In one of the aisles there were these two guys in their 30s looking at stuff on the shelves.
I could tell that they didn't know one another. But they were of the exact same type. Both were pale and doughy-looking, like they spend most of thier time sitting on their asses doing office work. And each guy was holding the obligatory container of coffee from Starbucks.
And each guy was wearing an Eagles jersey with the same player's name and number on the back (I forget who it was).
To their credit, each guy was doing his best to pretend he didn't actually know about the existence of other guy not twenty feet away from him.
Even homos like that know when they're being homos.
What would be considerate would be if people could get a refund for those Obama/Biden stickers. You don't see many of those anymore.
I saw a car with one the other day, and I couldn't help but feel like I was watching a handicapped person attempting to negotiate life. I just wanted to help him, to maybe steer him clear of Three-card Monte dealers, and warn him about Nigerian bank scams - stuff like that.
Obama stickers are all over cars around here. Plenty of "I love Obamacare" stickers too.
Hillary! stickers are starting to show up, too.
Communists are stupid, but they are slow.
Being on the west side of L.A., we used to have a lot of Obama stickers here too, but it looks like thousands of people had to do that scrape of shame, probably late at night secretly in the garage.
Sixty, WOW! I could not agree more. But, I take it a step further, I do not wear clothes w/ any type of logo. If a company wants to pay me to wear their logo, I might consider, depending on the company.
