QuoteJerseys To Avoid Wearing At All Times
• Ryan Leaf's San Diego Chargers jersey.
• Brian Bosworth's Seattle Seahawks jersey.
• Patrick Ewing's Orlando Magic jersey.
• Michael Jordan's throwback Washington Bullets jersey.
• Michael Jordan's Birmingham Barons baseball jersey.
• Dwyane Wade's Marquette jersey. As if you wouldn't mix up Milwaukee and Mexico on a map of North America.
• Washington taterskins basketball jerseys; Dallas Mavericks football jerseys.
• The WLAF's Orlando Thunder lime-green jerseys, which should have come with a complementary fork and/or can of whipped cream.
• Anybody's high school jersey.
• Anything with a single, colored sleeve.
• Anything Tampa Bay Bucs, pre-1997.
• Anything with a mascot illustration that resembles the Gordon's Fisherman.
• Anything XFL.
• Anything O.J. Simpson -- unless it's been autographed at a horror convention, in which case it might be worth something on eBay.

I think Tampa fans in pre-1997 jerseys are fine. They are actual fans (as long as they bought it back then)...not the Niners/Cowboys/Broncos/Rams fans that became Tampa fans.
The article just kind of hit home for me. I've never owned any Phillies or Sixers jerseys, but I've had bad luck with the jerseys I do own:
Flyers (authentic):
Boucher 33
Eagles (all replicas):
Staley 22 green
F. Mitchell 84 green
Owens 81 white
Simon 90 silver alternate
Kearse 93 black
Dawkins 20 green
McNabb 5 white
Kearse has been a disappointment, so I really only have two jerseys at home that are worth wearing.
I think I'm just going to have to start buying more polo shirts and such.
Oh, and the wife only has two jerseys, one of which is a T.O. white. ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHH.
Rasheed Wallace Atlanta Hawks jersey.
Mike Piazza Marlins jersey

I have a Bobby Hoying jersey.
Hear me out for my reasoning behind it though...lol. I was at the 1998 Hall Of Fame game between the Steelers and Bucs and didn't have a jersey with me. I wanted to show off my Eagle fandom and went to the shop at the HoF. The ONLY Eagles jersey they had was Hoying so I got it. LOL.
I think that was the one and only time I ever wore it.

I was going to say this exact same thing. Too bad we all know that none of those kinds of Bucs fans actually exist.
I went to school with a kid that had an Eric Rhett jersey. I don't know if he was a Bucs fan or gay though.

I still wear it every Sunday.

I thought they were synonymous with each other.

No wonder she hates Penn State
Bah. Some of those jerseys are so bad they're cool again. Just don't be caught wearing them non-sarcastically.

PG, you would get many, many props from me for wearing this jersey.
Wearing random ass jerseys from your teams sucky years is dope.
Anyone can get a McNabb, but a Zordich? That's the move.

HOLLA! I have a Charles Johnson jersey from 1998 (it was the only Eagles jersey they were selling in Footlocker, Market Street at the time!) I am more proud of that jersey than the jersey I have of the last Iggle to wear No. 81.
i would never own much less wear a current eagle jersey...they are fugly and its not the correct shade of green

Rasheed Wallace Atlanta Hawks jersey.
I'd wear one of those. How many did they make? Two?
i got a cuttino mobley dougherty jersey
Quote• Dwyane Wade's Marquette jersey. As if you wouldn't mix up Milwaukee and Mexico on a map of North America.
I don't get it. What would be the big deal about wearing a Wade Marquette jersey? He went to school there and took them to the final 4. I also don't get the Milwaukee/Mexico referrence. Did I miss something? ??? ??? ???
I was surprised at the couple of 81 jerseys I saw Monday night... I saw a few that were crosses out or ducttapped over, which is cool. But I also saw a couple of people wearing them for real.
Romes.
While Beermonkey and Die-hard and I were standing up on the steps of the headhouse watching the debacle against Dallas I spotted a dude walking below wearing a Cowboys jersey with #88 on it and "IRVING" on the back.
Must've got a good deal on it. :-D
I also have a Bobby Hoying jersey, PG. So don't feel bad. I got it for Christmas in 1997. And I have a James Thrash jersey that a girlfriend gave me in Texas. I opened the gift and saw the Eagle logo and thought "sweet! She got me a jersey!". Then I saw the number 80 and almost cried.
I wore by authentic Jeff Blake jersey today.
Maybe I'll break out my Jason Dunn jersey on Sunday (yes, I have one of those too)
Someone pointed out to me on Monday that everytime I buy a new Eagles jersey, someone gets hurt.
Now, in my defense, I did buy a Reggie White jersey and he's already dead, so how they could blame me for Westbrook stubbing his toe and finding himself out for 6-9 months as a result is beyond me.
???
We've had similar luck this year, Rome...
I bought an "authentic" (i.e., knock off sewn by Honduran children) # 5 jersey on eBay for $70 right before the Dallas MNF game, and we all know what happened. :poison
One of the guys I sit with sold all of his tickets during the Summer due to a money crunch, except he kept two games, which seemed like a good idea at the time...this past MNF game for Reggie, and the upcoming Giants game (which we are now all trying to sell as a foursome, if anyone is interested). He wore his new black Westbrook jersey this past Monday night...didn't turn out so well for him, either.
I laugh when I still see people wearing Mamula jerseys at the games.

Don't worry McNabb dug his own grave when he signed to do the cover of Madden 06.

You're a damn liar.
And a dirty pirate hooker.
