Buying an NFL jersey can do more than just show your dedication for your favorite player or team. A jersey is a physical bond between you and your team, a monument to your fandom and a memento that can evoke fond memories of your childhood.

The Washington Redskins are fortunate to have a long history of success. Iconic players such as Darrell Green and John Riggins, while long since retired, can still be seen by the thousand at FedEx Field on the backs of diehard fans.

Super Bowl champions aren't the only players whose names grace the backs of the Redskins faithful.

A younger generation grew up with names like Clinton Portis and Chris Cooley. Although these players may not have attained the long-lasting success of their predecessors, their solid play and wild off-the-field antics cemented their place in the heart of many Redskins youth.

Here are just some of the great Redskins jerseys you may have owned as a child growing up.
