'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.

When I was 12 years old (we're talking 1973), I would have killed for replica-like jerseys, but nothing of the kind existed. So I bought a yellow T-shirt and meticulously tried to draw "Lakers" and "25" on it, replicating the font/style as best I could (Gail Goodrich was my favorite player). In those days the number colors were reversed, with white being the primary color, and purple the shadow outline. Did not turn out so well.

This is amazing.

What ever happened to the guy that did this?

Probably haven’t had one since I was a kid. Like many Bears fans, had a No. 34 jersey. Wore it out before I outgrew it.

T-shirts are much more comfortable to me. Most recent one of those was a long-sleeve, black Seattle Kraken shirt. Looks good and feels great, but every time I wear it one of the Kraken goaltenders gives up a soft goal …

Used to love that website. Hate that it faded out for whatever reason. I still have Straight Cash Homey moments whenever I see a bizarre jersey.
This was like the Holy Grail for me. This was at the state fair last year, at one of those game booths where you have to throw a football through the target or something. Keep in mind that this is from October 2021, and then count how many things are wrong with this picture.

I had a replica Brooklyn Dodgers, a Braves BP, Blackhawks, and Harvard hockey jerseys in high school. Wish I still had them.

I get irrationally pissed when I see people wearing Yankees jerseys or Red Sox home jerseys with names on the back. The worst I saw was a Yankees home jersey with 3 on the back and 'Ruth' above it.
