ever swapped a jersey/top and regretted it?

[MylesNaGapoleen]

is it bad to regret giving someone your leinster top?

in my case it was a leinster hoodie which I loved and had some sentimental stains I didn't want to wash off. I got a welwyn rfc club players poncho in return...which was nice of the guy but I feel a little short changed.

I know it's a little ungrateful to say that...but that's the way I feel.

My favourite Bank of Scotland top (yep, the nicest Leinster jersey ever) got swapped after the 1/4 final last year. Now I have a (Clermont) jersey that looks like a Hi-Viz jacket.

[MylesNaGapoleen]

ouch!

Nope, have never done it.....knew I'd regret in the future.

When I used to play (so many years ago!) we were on tour in Belgium. We all swopped socks. I wasn't keen, but was told if I did I'd get a new pair that I didn't have to pay for, so thought 'OK'. So, I gave up my Quins socks (which fit me) for a pair of rubbish socks - one was sky blue and the other red. Not even a proper pair. In return, my new Quins socks were (and still are - I wear them to games when I remember) too big for me Most people ended up with cool socks, I got a crappy pair. Some random Belgian bird is still walking around with my socks to this day.

I couldn't bare to swap a Leinster jersey!! Sheesh!! I regret swapping my leinster flag for a Sarries one last week.

Mind you I did swap a crappy dunnes ireland top for a lovely nike frenchie top during the 6N back in 99. Was happy with that trade!

A chap in Toulouse last year was looking for my Jersey - 2007 vintage - to swap with his Toulouse t-shirt. I nearly did it but was helped realised I'd regret it, even in my beer haze, and said no but i'd give him my Leinster T-shirt instead. No deal could be agreed.
Thanks to the lady at the bar beside me who told me it was "a bad deal" on my part!

I swapped one of many, many scarves for a very nice Metro Scarf last month.

Zero Regrets.

I have two of the 07/08 collar jerseys, waiting for the right one to come along.

It really depends on how many you have. I would never swap my 1st jersey, and a personalised gift jersey. the rest are expendable

fair point. I maybe alone, but, I don't like the recent leinster jerseys...much prefer the older type..plain blue with crest and white collar...that said,i really liked the hoodie I swapped after the sarries game. they're really comfortable, warm and look good.

Never swap jersies. Seems a good idea when you're drunk but then you go to the next home game and you'll hardly going to wear an opposition jersey are you?

I swapped a baseball cap with an Agen fan once. Good quality cap in fairness that I wore for ages afterwards.

If you're going to France for a match, it's a good idea to bring an old scarf or hat that you won't miss if swapped.

I gave everything but the shirt on my back away to the kids in toulouse.

At the Clemont game in the RDS - a Clermont fan ( and some of the nicest fans one could ever hope to meet) asked to swap jerseys - a could only say je regret - what in gods name would I do with a clermont shirt!

+ 1 on all of that, especially the first bit!

God bless the season ticket holders pack that provides you with a scarf to trade with every year. However, with the Clermont game coming up, I am worried that my precious Tipp/Clare/Wicklow/Longford/Roscommon cape may prove difficult to hang onto!

Toulouse '06, I swapped a tricolour for a Toulouse flag, only copped the next day that the flag was ripped to bits. However, I was on tour to Madrid this year with the club and swapped a club polo shirt I'd gotten for free for one of the host club's canterbury jerseys that they were selling behind the bar for €50, still smiling over that one

I swapped my Bank of Scotland Jersey for an Australian Jersey with a bloke we met in a Kebab shop in Edinburgh after the pool game in October 2008. I really regretted it as I would love to have worn it to the final in 2009 instead of the new static electrically charged Bank of Ireland offering.

Did u track this tread down to tell us that?!

[carklone]

ACC Bank/Esat away jersey for an ACT Brumbies academy shirt in 2002. Have regretted it ever since

[sheepshagger]

Never ever do this...may seem good with pints on board but in the cold light of day you end up with another teams jersey that you will wear fock all.

A girl from Toulouse wanted to swap jerseys on Saturday, I had to politely decline. Although we probably could have charged for the event as the amount of auld lads who stopped to have a gawk on the main thoroughfare when were discussing a potential swap was highly amusing.

I foolishly gave away the bank of Scotland jersey to a Clermont fan this year in Clermont. Was pretty messy drunk at the time.
She was damn pretty though, shame she then handed it to her bf!!!
