I'm wearing my Bulls #91 Dennis Rodman jersey

Recommended Posts

Yeah, so I found it in a drawer and threw it on. I remember getting it for Christmas in 1995, during the Bulls' historic 72-10 season. I was 11 years old, and pretty fat. It totally fits me now, as do the Alonzo Mourning (Heat), Grant Hill (Pistons), Kevin Garnett (Wolves), and Tim Duncan (Wake Forest) jerseys I got for my 13th birthday in 1997.

I have 5 Knicks Away Jerseys: Ewing, Johnson, Ward, Houston and Starks, got them all between 96 and 97 (so they aren't the current style with the stripes down the sides) and amazingly they all still fit me...they don't fit in the sense that current fashion ridiculously dictates (i.e. down to my knees), but they fit well enough that I would wear them in public...

I haven't gotten a new sports jersey/sweater in years, so I still have my Bird (away) Celtics shirt from when I was in HS, a whole bunch of Pats jerseys (Bledsoe, Gash, Coates, all away) that I got in college, and the few Bruins sweaters I got in college or shortly there-after (Bourque away {now considered home} and Belanger home {now considered away}). All of them still fit me, but only the hockey sweaters get any wearing-time.

The only jerseys I have are my Canadiens one, my Rangers one, an old Canucks one, my Ricky Williams Dolphins jersey (before he went AWOL and all that), and a bunch that I picked up at Bob's Stores for only $9.99 last year (McNair, Urlacher and Hasselbeck). Like niskie, I pretty much only wear the hockey ones, and I have to get me a new Rangers one.

I haven't bought a new jersey in a while. The last one I bought was a grey Red Sox youth jersey for the girlfriend.

 

I mostly wear my hockey sweaters as well. My old-school Sabres Hasek gets a lot of wearing, as does my Nordiques Sakic.

I'm gonna assume she just happens to be small enough to warrant having that size jersey... :P

Dating small girls is teh hot. Please note that I said small (as in petite) and not young (as in prebuscent).

 

To segue back to jersey/sweater talk, I'm really kind of bummed that the 'retro' look got so popular. I always wanted to get classic hockey sweaters and then ~wham~ retro becomes the biggest fashion craze and the price skyrockets and the allure of having one disappears. Sucks.

One of my friends last year got a jersey of someone (I can't recall who, but it was a basketball jersey) and a few weeks later the guy got traded. We went out one night and he had it on, and my other friend was joshing him about his "out of date" jersey. My friend just snapped back "so, now it's a throwback!"

I've decided that anytime I buy a Kings jersey it's the kiss of death for that player to be on the team.

 

1st Jersey Jon Barry (#20 Away) got it during '01 playoffs, Result: traded during offseason for Mateen Cleaves

 

2nd Jersey Scot Pollard (#31 Away) got it during the '01-'02 season, Result: traded during offseason '03 with Hedo Tukoglu for Brad Miller

 

3rd Jersey Bobby Jackson (#24 Away) got it during '03 offseason, Result: traded during the '05 offseason with Greg Ostertag to Memphis for Bonzi Wells

 

4th Jersey Chris Webber (#4 1970's KC Kings Throwback) got it during '03-'04 season, Result: traded during '04-'05 season with Michael Bradley and Matt Barnes for Kenny Thomas, Brian Skinner and Corliss Williamson

 

5th Jersey Brad Miller (#52 1985 Sacramento Kings Throwback) got it during '04-'05 season, Result: Still with the team

If there's grass on the field, play ball.  If not, play in the mud.

 

/another bad joke

I sport the following...

 

LeBron James home jersey

 

Lavar Arrington and Darrell Green jerseys. (used to have a Laverneus Coles jersey, but he went out like a bitch, so I gave it to Sal. Army, fuck him)

 

Chris Webber football jersey (you read that right, Reebok made a line of football style NBA jerseys) although with him no longer there, this jersey is fixing to get jettisoned.

 

Penny Hardaway home and away Orlando jerseys (I never wear them, but keep them around since Orlando is the only place he played well)

 

Looking to aquire..

 

Mike Bibby black on black jersey. Saw this at the mall and didn't have the cash on me to get it. May look to get a D-Wade black on black jersey as well.

 

Some Redskins throwback jerseys. I'm waiting for Theismann, Riggins, and Art Monk to sign over their rights because while I could get some bootlegged stuff, I wear official gear only.

 

Oakland A's jerseys, except I'm not sure which one. I saw a killer football style jersey that I liked, but not sure if I like just one player on the team enough to where I'd want the jersey. Closest person right now would be Eric Chavez.

Damn... I made a meaningless observation while drunk regarding the fact that clothes I bought in junior high now fit me again. I never expected it to turn into a legitimate jersey discussion, lol, or else I wouldn't have posted it in Hardcore Discussion.

 

Anyway, I also have a Brett Favre jersey and a red Steve McNair jersey from the Tennessee Titans' stadium store.

I've got a white Kobe jersey, and my old tried and true Favre jersey that was my first sports jersey I ever got. It was an XL and I was like, 12 at the time, so it was really baggy on me for a few years and now it's just baggy.

 

I'm planning on getting a throwback #66 Ray Nitzschke jersey, as well as the blue and white Lakers jersey (Kobe).

Right now I'm wearing an old Yankees tshirt I got at Kmart in 1997 that now is used strictly as pajamas. The only jerseys I own are one home yankee one I got in 01 and a cheap knock off One I got in 1999 that I havent worn since high school (mainly cuz of the fact that it is sweat stained and ols)

This is one of those "I'm just going to post something for myself and ignore everyone else, therefore voiding the whole point of it being a discussion in any sense" threads, which I really kinda hate.

I haven't gotten a new jersey since a home Favre jersey I got for Christmas of 1998. It's still holding up pretty well even though I wear the shit out of it. I also have an old away Dallas Stars jersey I bought during the hottest week of the summer as a lark and because it looked the best of the hockey jerseys they had on clearance. I haven't seen it since 2000 though. Wish I could find it.

My dad always buys me a football jersey for X-Mas, even though I don't wear them. But if he gets me an Alex Smith one, I'll be wearing it all the time.

I have a really cool Brewers gray away jersey that I got for Christmas last year that I wear to basically every game I go to.

 

I also have a Reggie White Packers home jersey. Can't really wear that one anymore.

I've got:

 

- an old blue Patriots' Bledsoe that I got way back in '95 I think. The "11" on it is pretty worn and hard to see now. Never wear it anymore.

- a purple Charlotte Hornets Larry Johnson jersey that I barely wore at all ever.

- navy "Wrigley Field" jersey

- Cubs alternate blue jersey

- Cubs road gray jersey

- my Ryne Sandberg pinstripe jersey is on order
