Ray Rice Jersey Exchange, Sort of...

The Baltimore Ravens have announced that owners of Ray Rice jerseys may exchange them at the stadium on Friday and Saturday for jerseys of other Ravens stars, such as Christo Bilukidi, Crockett Gillmore, and Brynden Trawick.

There are a few stipulations, however, that must be met before the Ravens will allow the exchange of the jersey. 

1) the jersey must be officially NFL licensed merchandise.
2) must be manufactured by Nike or Reebok.
3) the jersey must have been purchased on the NFL's website or at the Ravens' merchandise store at the stadium.

Well, that pretty much eliminates +90% of all Ray Rice jerseys out there.  I expect up to 10 people to be there for jersey exchanges.  How are they going to prove where the jersey was purchased?  Nothing on the website states that a receipt must be in hand.

What the Ravens aren't telling you are the other, lesser known rules for jersey exchange:

1) The jersey must have been purchased on a Tuesday
2) Jersey must not show any signs that it has ever been worn
3) The person returning the jersey must avert all eye contact with the Ravens' officials
4) The person returning the jersey must reside within the city of Baltimore
5) The person returning the jersey must purchase a jersey PJL (Personal Jersey License) giving them the right to purchase another jersey in the future.

This scenario is totally believable based on the recent series of media blunders by the Baltimore Ravens.
