Wearing player jerseys

[m0nkey]

When do you think it's no longer socially acceptable to be walking around wearing clothes with another person's name on the back? I don't think there's an age limit, but say you?

[nate]

I only wear jerseys to sporting events.

[1nutkruk]

I have never been a jersey guy.  Hats, t-shirts or sweatshirts for the most part.

[LBHalos17]

I prefer wearing team shirts and hats to jerseys, but will sometimes wear a jersey.  Only problem is that I only have hockey/baseball jerseys with MY name on the back.  It's not that I'm against it; it's just really expensive.

 

I think part of the fun of losing yourself in rooting for sports teams, is identifying with your favorite players.  For me, I really get a kick out of how dolled-up some fans get!

 

I'll probably go-out just like "Dirt" in Beer League", with my uniforms on (actually, cremated with me me and spread in the crease, home plate, and the ocean).

At Sporting Events - No Age Restrictions

At Bars/Casinos/Gatherings during Sporting Events - No Age Restrictions

At Home - No Age Restrictions

Out and about in the general population for no apparent other reason - 28

Yea, I would only wear these to Angel events or if I am going somewhere to specifically watch the game. I have worn a jersey to a fantasy draft before. I have a few jerseys that I like to wear to the game. On throwback night I will wear my Nolan jersey. Opening day its usually Weaver (#56) jersey from his rookie year. I have a couple Trout Jerseys, one from the All Star Game. I also have a Pujols Jersey, that I only wear when I am hanging out with Hamiltown or YoT.

I don't have that many jerseys.

 

I have a GA jersey, Pujols jersey and a periwinkle Chili Davis jersey that I never wear.  I wear the other two when I go to games.  I got Pujols because he was going to be with the team for 10 years.  I should have gotten Trout but it was before he came up.

 

I also have a Peyton Manning Colts jersey that I wear at home on game day.

 

I have a couple UCLA jerseys that I wear on game day as well.

 

I would wear any of them out to any sporting event or bar, etc but not just any day for the hell of it.  I wear tshirts, hats, etc for that.

Anyone in the market for a slightly worn Zack Greinke Angels jersey?

[St1ck]

I rock my Benji Gil jersey on a weekly basis. 

[m0nkey]

I don't have any jerseys, just shirts. A pujols, wood, and two trouts to go along with an all star harper shirt. The only ones I'll wear though are trout and harper

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

jerseys are pretty much douchey, for anyone about the age of 12 or so, except in stadiums or arenas.

im lazy and have an old kobe #8 and lebron cavs alternate jersey that i wear around the house. however, next thing you know im taking the dog for a walk or running to the store and that means im wearing these in public. i strangely get compliments from youngster because they are throwbacks or old school, for lack of a better term. i still have a troy glaus jersey, but dont wear it. im not down with "sports guy" that wears them with pride or is the dumb bro jock.

 

blanks are cool for sporting events, but its a fine line. i think dudes that wear nfl jerseys to bars give it a bad name. i think old school ones are ok, but not current players. nothing like some 49 year old geeking out in a trout jersey. just seems lame.

[ELEVEN]

Is there an age limit on peer pressure? I'll wear whatever I want to.

The Wife bought me a Tomlinson jersey back in 2005.  It is still hanging in my closet.  She still breaks out her Elway jersey on game day.

[Stradling]

I'm waiting for my special order Pacific League All Star Jersey that has the name "No Jews" on the back. Too soon?

[James]

I usually don't wear jerseys. I have an old school Yount and Clemente but they tend to sit in the closet. The only one I wear is the one in the link, I get a strange vibe every time I wear it.

I'll throw on a Wayne Chrebet jersey if some loud mouth lady around me is feeling brave.

[Punk]

I have a lot of jerseys.

 

Albert Pujols authentic Angels jersey. I only wore it once to a game. 

Kobe Bryant Lakers jersey. I usually just wear it around the house.

4 Ducks Jerseys (2 no name Mighty Ducks jerseys, 1 Paul Kariya jersey, no name Ducks 3rd jersey)

3 Boston Bruins jerseys (no name, Patrice Bergeron, Tim Thomas)

3 New England Patriots jerseys (2 Tom Brady, 1 Rob Gronkowski) I had a Aaron Hernandez jersey but I sold it. 

 

It's mostly my Patriots jerseys that leave the closet. I wear them every game day.

I heard the guys talking about it on SportsCenter the other day and I like this rule.

 

You can't wear a player's jersey who is younger than you.

[Brandon]

Good rule, that's what I meant in my post. The old men that act like teenie boppers wearing some 20 year olds jersey and running over kids to get autographs.

 

Prim reminded me, I also have two hockey goalie jerseys, but they are blanks and are to be worn when I play.

That's pretty neat.

My wife's work had a policy of wearing their team's jersey on Sundays so she bought me a powder blue Tomlinson jersey and wore it on game days.  She asked if I wanted Tomlinson or Rivers.  Easy decision.

 

She now works somewhere else and it sits in the closet.

When I was in Korea in the 80's I had some knock-offs of my youthful favorites made. Nolan Ryan, Randy Gradishar, Bill Walton (Bazers)), Chico Resch (Rockies), and Johan Cruyff (Dutch National team).

 

The only current one I ever bought was Ray Bourque Avs jersey to wear when I was in Boston.
