I typically put 'we had subs' as the custom name on all of my very many custom jerseys that I have purchased.

I am 38. My wife, who is 35, bought me a new #98 jersey last year for my bday. Last I checked, it didn't make me any less of an adult.
I get it, you like jerseys, but I feel something is wrong with wearing a piece of athletic equipment (a mesh jersey) when you're not playing.
Strange when 40 year old men wear 18 year old boys' jerseys like some sort of middle-school cheerleader wearing her boyfriends away jersey to a high school football game. Do you wear your cargo shorts and lesbian adventure sandals with the jersey to complete the tri-fecta? Or are you spicing it up with the flat-brim and white sunglasses look?

So, you have no response to my point about polo shorts and other athletic equipment and you are now raising a separate point. Let's discuss that point. It is weird to wear a shirt with a kids number on it? By that logic, it is equally weird to spend an entire Saturday watching a bunch of kids playing sports, and even weirder to frequent a blog about those kids playing sports unless of course you have a kid on the team. Even weirder still that the result of a game played by a bench of kids would upset anyone or give them happiness.

Under 25, wear any jersey you like at any time. Older than 25, only hockey sweaters. To each their own though!
Being MDen didn't have a #47 for the current home jersey and I needed the home jersey, I got a custom #47 for a little bit more $.
There's a guy on eBay who makes B1G and Legend patches. Excellent quality.
I've never gotten a name on the back of a jersey. I know the MDen blocks you if you try to put past player names on the back.
Other sites like Fanatics don't, though. I'd personally get a Denard jersey.
MDen tried and failed selling a Denard jersey after he graduated with his name on the back. They forgot that the back of his jersey said "D. Robinson". That's what stopped me from buying it.

a "Legends" patch? What did you do to earn it?

Name on the back: "Devotee."
You're that guy.
All you need.
You're that guy.

Only Vince McMahon could come up with some ideas like that and have a league that would last one year.
My Thronbladh authentic game jersey! Doesn't matter how old you are, I have quite a few lions, red wings and Michigan jerseys.
A good trickbis to get a real nice authentic jersey with just the number on it. Then take it to a good embroiderer, and have them fashion up a name plate for the player you want. Gets you around the NCAA rules and gets you a nice game jersey!
This is actually from the Michigan msu hoops game at crisler this past season. He was mean muggin somebody and I had to pause the TV to get a quick picture.

Name: Tacopants
I get my jerseys from China and never order a custom one.
You forgot Brinton. Check your pad level.
I've never got why it's weird for adults to wear jerseys to games. For as long as I've been around we've had 40-50K of them being worn in the stadium each game.
I don't think M Den even really sold mass produced adult-size jerseys until the mid to late 90s. Before that, wearing jerseys to games (or anywhere else) was more of an Ohio thing.
I'll be 39 in a few days, and I've been wearing UM football jerseys for each game since I was 13yrs old. I'll never stop wearing my jerseys during the game. God willing I'll be 95yrs old sporting a UM jersey at the Rose Bowl decades from now. If you want to wear jerseys wear jerseys, if you don't then don't. Its not my role in life to judge other peoples decisions.
As far as custom jerseys go, I've never sprang for full blown custom jersey with name. I have standard issue road/home sets I wear and some uniformz for the special games. I have jerseys in #1, #2, #7, #12, #16 & #97.
