Washington Redskins Official Store

Came here to get Soccerballgirl a Redskins shirt for Christmas.
Selection was pretty poor. They did have Haynesworth and Campbell shirts in her size for $ 20, and McNabb shirts for $ 50. Figuring it was only a matter of time before McNabb shirts are marked down to $ 20, and that she would not really know the difference, I got her a Campbell shirt, (she’s 6).
She absolutely loved it and has been wearing it morning noon and night since Christmas Day. I told her that Campbell used to the Quarterback and doesn;t play (much) for them any more. She seemed fine with that.
Fast forward to Sunday afternoon’s Jackssonville game:
«Daddy, where’s Number 17? Is he playing?»
No Honey, I told you remember — he doesn’t play for t hem any more — he plays for Oakland now”
” You’re kidding me Daddy aren’t you?“
Sigh.

I was happy to hear a Redskins store opened up in DC suburbia. Even for this Eagles fan originally from Philly. I just wanted to see what stuff they’d sell and sure there’s enough for the hog fan in your family except for the elusive season tickets. There’s even stuff like Redskins cereal bowls and weird stuff like that. Actually, that’s what disappointed me. I was expecting even weirder stuff because I figured that a Skins obsessed fan would buy just about anything so I was expecting hog outfits or at least the noses or maybe Sonny Jurgensen BBQ Sauce. Not that there is such a thing but if there was, it would sell here. So if they could just get some more weird stuff like the Raiders stores have, this place could be golden.
