Last jersey you bought

I just don't know what you do with a basketball jersey. I don't have the physique to make it work, most don't and wearing it over shirt (Ewing aside) seems kind of lame. Double-bad if its a long-sleeve dress shirt. Could you imagine if hoops was like baseball and the head coach dressed out as well?

Bob Huggins would not be attractive.
 
The last one I got was a birthday present from my sister: A Rashaad Penny Seahawks jersey. I'm a Penny fan since his SDSU days, and my sister is a Seahawks fan, so she got that for me a couple months after he got drafted.

Also have a Chargers Luis Castillo jersey, which I got in 2010. I'm looking to get another Chargers jersey at some point, because they just look awesome.

Have a couple of Angels jersey, and once had an L.A. Kings sweater, but those were blank. I'm generally a fan of teams, so I'm reluctant to get a player's name and number in case they get traded. (With NFL jersey you pretty have to pick a player/number).

I'll wear the football jersey around once in a while, but the baseball jerseys I tend to wear only when I'm going to a game.
 
For me, maybe 08-09 a plain Braves replica, blank back.
For my wife, about 10 years ago, I bought here a Hank Aaron sewn name and numbers jersey that sells for about $350 at the stadium. I bought it brand new for $50 on eBay. That thing was so hot it will still burn you if you touch it.
 
My one baseball jersey is a blank, blue Phillies throwback. A friend of mine gave it to me as a groomsmen's gift.

I have a few football jerseys, but I bought them in the 2000s so they're all aging now — a white Reggie Wayne Colts jersey; a green Brian Dawkins Eagles jersey; and a New Orleans VooDoo Arena League jersey that I bought off a clearance rack in New Orleans for $10 because, why the hell not?

Also have a 20-year-old white LSU No. 3. It started life as a Kevin Faulk jersey, and it's been fun over the years to see who's wearing No. 3 and who I'm paying tribute to at any given moment.

'87 or '88 ... real Lakers jersey of 32 for my all-time sports hero. Still have it.

Bought it at a shop down the street from the Forum on Manchester Boulevard.

Heath Shuler No. 21 Tennessee, 1992 or 1993, Looks as silly on me as all jerseys do outside of the sporting arena.
 
Not a Steelers fan in the least, but when the James Conner jerseys came out I grabbed one. Never worn, still in the closet with the tags on it, but I have it.
 
I am a Browns fan so my wife bought me a Baker Mayfield jersey a few birthdays ago. When I told her about the Deshaun Watson trade, she told me that she’d get me his jersey this year. That is how I found out that she doesn’t pay attention to news in the sports world.
 
Only player-specific jersey I have was a Christmas gift. Derrick Henry light-blue Titans jersey from before they mucked up the numbers. Also was gifted a blank Preds jersey, white from the inaugural season.

The only ones I’ve purchased were one from the local USL side and a blue Arsenal jersey with O2 as the sponsor. That one was $10 at Unclaimed Baggage, so what did I care if it wasn’t my team.

Hockey pucks and soccer scarves are my sports merch weakness.
 
I am not a jersey guy. I think it's so silly that so many fans make a big deal about uniforms. That said, Patrick Mahomes inspired me to finally buy a jersey of his. In fact, I am such a big fan of what he's done for the Chiefs that I have two of his jerseys!
 
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.
 
My son got me a Bill Walton throwback Blazers jersey for Christmas. That's pretty sweet.

That may be my only player-specific jersey. My last purchase was a Bob Marley edition Ajax third jersey, but no number or name on the back.

I have a credit for a free NBA jersey through Caesar's. Unless something else grabs me I'll get a JaVale McGee Suns jersey.

The free NFL jersey promo from Caesar's was great, though you didn't have to use it on a jersey. With that money I was able to get two long-sleeve t-shirts, a golf shirt and a pullover for my Bengals -- months before their stuff became shockingly fashionable (and not so cheap anymore).
