5th Grade Redskins
Back when I went to the 5th grade center (great name huh) in Cedar Hill Texas, there used to be a hobby that took over the entire school. It was pencil collecting. This was before weird Japanese cards and things like that took over. There was a little machine down the hall that sold pencils two at a time, you got two for 50 cents. Why were these pencils so cool, be cause they were football pencils. Everyone, had a box of them, un sharpened. That year (more specifically that spring) the pencil to be had was the newest super bowl champions. The Washington Redskins had won that year sending every 5th grader into a panic to trade and have that pencil for themselves. I found that a craft store my mom went to sold these pencils by the team, and loaded up on them soo I ended up with the goods.
That being said no a days there only exist a few places where collectibles such as Redskins t-shirts and such can be found. The internet man, sure you can go to a store but why not just buy it directly from the team? You support the team and you can load up on cool stuff like Shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, collectibles, jewelry, and more.
