Did you love the jerseys enough to pay $1,000 to have your own? Or $1,625 for a helmet?
Some people apparently did.

Bidding for jerseys and helmets closes at 3 p.m. Monday.
Our guess is LeBron James will not be trying get in on the action before that deadline. His Twitter reaction to the uniforms: "Ewwwwww."
Maybe he'd be more interested in a football signed by Coach Randy Edsall, or a Terps script sign, which are also being auctioned. The last days to bid for those items are this Friday and Wednesday, respectively.
The auction opened last Friday, with bidding starting at $500 for the helmets and $200 for the uniforms. The auction will benefit the Maryland Athletic program.
