You nailed it on the head that button-down baseball jerseys have a whiff of class about them, and the Yankees' road unis are nicely low-key as well.<br /><br />Another point that merits mentioning is blank jerseys vs. named/numbered jerseys. I prefer mine blank, mostly because I don't want to spend $100 on a jersey only to have that player jump ship to a rival the next year (almost happened to me when Scott Gomez was traded from the Devils to the Rangers).<br /><br />Semi-related story. Years ago I went to my high school wearing my brother's Gator Bowl jersey. Everyone called me a poser for wearing a jersey with my name on it when I wasn't even on the football team. How quickly they forgot the team's star captain who graduated the year before!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-82782731640899838332010-05-07T08:30:52.983-04:002010-05-07T08:30:52.983-04:00T-Shirt Jerseys are the lamest of the sports appar...T-Shirt Jerseys are the lamest of the sports apparel.Precourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128335172041536732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-71481037326418991872010-05-06T20:32:53.114-04:002010-05-06T20:32:53.114-04:00Nooooooo!

Wear your jersey with pride. Cripes, it's just a piece of clothing that represents the team you love. Who is anyone else to tell you what looks "acceptable"? We are all spectators to adults PLAYING PLAYGROUND SPORTS, for crying out loud. Let's keep it all in perspective, people. And as fans, we are now judging our fellow fans for what they're wearing.

I'm with you on this (I think). It is kind of lame, but I feel it totally acceptable on gameday. Yes, you might be rocking the jersey of someone half your age, how is that any different from cheering for kids half your age sans jersey? Now that said, I may need to replace my Facebook profile pic of me in my Tebow jersey from last summer...Joel and Sara Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632823007098616974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-64349849934814736612010-05-06T12:39:52.681-04:002010-05-06T12:39:52.681-04:00At a hockey game, a jersey is a requirement to get...At a hockey game, a jersey is a requirement to get in the building.Jeff Pucketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539863816522840734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-28875565569896904022010-05-06T12:21:47.454-04:002010-05-06T12:21:47.454-04:00Wear it to the actual game or to a public watching...Wear it to the actual game or to a public watching party (e.g., bar). That's it. To me, an actual jersey is better than the t-shirt (excluding basketball). At least you shelled out for the real deal and not some cheap replacement. The tee is a cop out. Go all the way or not at all.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533618112092062368noreply@blogger.com
