Last jersey you bought

    Last jersey bought was several years ago (maybe 10?) - a Ron Santo home Cubs. Usually only worn when at games.

    I've often considered a Jim Bouton Seattle Pilots jersey, but can never make the leap. I never see myself in a basketball or football jersey.

    Have owned two:

    A Willie McGee home white Cardinals jersey.

    A Michael Vick black Falcons jersey. That one got disposed of when he started wearing the prison orange unis.

    That's how I feel. I essentially keep my Caps sweaters stashed away until the playoffs or unless I'm going to an actual game.

    I've been so tempted to go to a baseball game dressed like Connie Mack, complete with straw boater, and see if anybody comments.

    Bring two brain-dead 30-somethings as the sons from his first marriage to make it totally realistic!

    In about 2014, a friend gave us some Ducks jerseys from the 2003-06 range. Black with eggplant and silver. ANAHEIM across the chest. I wore it for a couple of years to games only. Nowhere else, not even to dinner before.
    I wanted a more timely jersey. Ryan Kesler was the guy who turned the team into a Stanley Cup threat. My family gave me a KESLER 17 jersey with an A for just before the playoffs in 2017. Black with orange trim and the D logo, which I hate. I would have preferred the Duck mask logo that they have on the orange alternate jerseys. I've worn it ever since, to games only, not before or after. I have thought about getting the orange alternate, but rumors persist that new jerseys are coming. The owner is on the record saying he likes orange. So I will wait.

    I just don't know what you do with a basketball jersey. I don't have the physique to make it work, most don't and wearing it over shirt (Ewing aside) seems kind of lame. Double-bad if its a long-sleeve dress shirt. Could you imagine if hoops was like baseball and the head coach dressed out as well?

    The last one I got was a birthday present from my sister: A Rashaad Penny Seahawks jersey. I'm a Penny fan since his SDSU days, and my sister is a Seahawks fan, so she got that for me a couple months after he got drafted.

    Also have a Chargers Luis Castillo jersey, which I got in 2010. I'm looking to get another Chargers jersey at some point, because they just look awesome.

    Have a couple of Angels jersey, and once had an L.A. Kings sweater, but those were blank. I'm generally a fan of teams, so I'm reluctant to get a player's name and number in case they get traded. (With NFL jersey you pretty have to pick a player/number).

    I'll wear the football jersey around once in a while, but the baseball jerseys I tend to wear only when I'm going to a game.
