Last jersey you bought

I got a Peter Forsberg sweater for Christmas the first year the Avalanche were in Denver. That is my one and only jersey ever. I still wear it to hockey games, but other than that I don't do jerseys. With players moving around all the time that adds to it since I could get today's favorite player and tomorrow he's gone. They just aren't appealing to me.

I do like sports gear, though, especially hats. I have so many. I am pretty loyal to my teams or else I would probably be drowning in hats. There are so many good looking ones out there for all sorts of teams.

 

I went through a big soccer jersey phase from around 2000-7 and probably have 30 of clubs all over the world as well as a bunch of US ones. Walking around Manhattan, you get a lot of appreciative and angry looks if you wear certain European or especially South American club jerseys. The last one I bought was a Man United Jersey when they first got Chevy as a sponsor.

When I go to NY Jets games, I think the answer for many of the fans is either Wayne Chrebet or Joe Klecko.

 

In the infancy of EBay bought a retro Atlanta Flames #12 jersey, Tom Lysiak’s number, and wore it to a Calgary Flames game in around 2000. Everyone knew who it was. One of the best players to ever come out of Alberta.

 

When I was 12 years old (we're talking 1973), I would have killed for replica-like jerseys, but nothing of the kind existed. So I bought a yellow T-shirt and meticulously tried to draw "Lakers" and "25" on it, replicating the font/style as best I could (Gail Goodrich was my favorite player). In those days the number colors were reversed, with white being the primary color, and purple the shadow outline. Did not turn out so well.

 

This is amazing.

What ever happened to the guy that did this?

 

Probably haven’t had one since I was a kid. Like many Bears fans, had a No. 34 jersey. Wore it out before I outgrew it.

T-shirts are much more comfortable to me. Most recent one of those was a long-sleeve, black Seattle Kraken shirt. Looks good and feels great, but every time I wear it one of the Kraken goaltenders gives up a soft goal …

 

Used to love that website. Hate that it faded out for whatever reason. I still have Straight Cash Homey moments whenever I see a bizarre jersey.
This was like the Holy Grail for me. This was at the state fair last year, at one of those game booths where you have to throw a football through the target or something. Keep in mind that this is from October 2021, and then count how many things are wrong with this picture.

 

I had a replica Brooklyn Dodgers, a Braves BP, Blackhawks, and Harvard hockey jerseys in high school. Wish I still had them.

I get irrationally pissed when I see people wearing Yankees jerseys or Red Sox home jerseys with names on the back. The worst I saw was a Yankees home jersey with 3 on the back and 'Ruth' above it.

 

It's how MLB sells them officially. Makes no sense. To get the one with no name, you've gotta go high-end Cooperstown Collection and pay $300.
