OT-What is the worst piece of memorabilia or apparel that you own?
Kind of, but not really, another apparal thread. As the title states, what is the worst piece of memorabilia or apparel that you own? Try and top mine:
Yes, I have a Sugar Bowl "Pour Some Sugar On Me" shirt autographed by our favorite former AD, Dave Brandon!

You know, I almost don't have any lamentable stuff. No RR, No Hoke, No Brandon. No bumblebee jersey, no jerseys, no nutsacks. (I can't comprehend the last. SMH in horror.)
My tastes run toward classic, timeless stuff, and so that's all I ever buy. I personally love my neon Michigan Adidas t-shirts (and before that, ancient Nike maize t-shirts,) my old Champion reverse weave sweatshirts, my block Michigan hats. They all still look good years later.
Realistically, the oddest or tackiest or strangest stuff didn't start until several years ago when MGoBlog starting throwing in a Tee with a $50 HTTV order. I wear the yellow photobomb Tee of Brian when I'm mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters, etc. That shirt may be the ugliest shirt I own at all, let alone of Michigan stuff.
I first became a Michigan fan in 1978 and I couldn't tell you what apparel they wore. I'm a fan of the University and their teams no matter what they wear. So, when all this Adidas stuff goes on sale I'll lap as much of this stuff up as I can. Lastly I will never re buy stuff beacuse the changed to Nike.

great to know, but you do realize this thread isn't about Adidas or Nike, so you can come off your high horse now.
Just not re buying stuff....
Get off my lawn!!!
I still have this Darko bobblehead from Burger King.
As a kid, I had Bullets #2 Chris Webber jersey. This was a big deal because he only wore #2 for a short time before taking the #4 jersey.
I sold it to some dirty hipster on eBay last year for $70
THOSE are some great conversation pieces. Unfortunatly, the conversation is about how failure is part of our history, too.
I have this framed, felt, vertical banner that my Dad (an Ohio State fan) bought be for Christmas. Apparently he paid about 100 bucks for it. The item itself is OK, but I've seen this same banner (sans frame) for 25 dollars before. My Dad (who was genuinely trying to do something nice) got screwed over by some novelty store.
I bought that same one at Meijer for like $15, lol
Automatic upvote to all others with Joey Harrington jerseys.
It was a gift...
I wear it when doing yardwork and it is very funny when my wife tries to pronounce the name.

Michael Vick gave me herpes. I thought his name was Ron Mexico at the time, but in any event it really was an awful piece of memorabilia.
The Pistons sent Austin Daye to Meijer two days after he was drafted and I had him sign a bottle of Orange Juice. 'Simply Orange' I believe. Lots of pulp.
A signed helmet from RichRod and a signed football from Brady Hoke..
Almost forgot that I still had this! It's an Isiah Thomas can cooler! You can fit two cans of pop or beer in it. The hat (yes, it's a basketball player wearing a baseball hat) lifts up and the cans go in. My sister bought this for me back around 1990 or so and since about 1992 his face has been held on by scotch tape, lol
I have those same '97 pieces (stein & coffee cup).
I have a Pittsburgh Pirates ticket autographed by Ramon Santiago....
Also a baseball signed by Andy Van Hekken (had a few starts with the Tigers years ago)
I have a couple dozen Jose Conseco rookie cards. I remember my Dad saying "you can pay for college with them" when I was 10 years old.
It's so bad, I don't even know how to spell Catino. Is it Catino, Cuttino, or Cattino? And I don't even wear basketball jerseys. Why did my wife think this was a good Christmas present? I have no idea.
That's thweet.
I don't have anything bad, but I did buy a white number two jersey when McGuffie was wearing that number, so it's a McGuffie jersey. Yeah...he turned out well (for Michigan, I mean).
I purchased a Hoke signed jersey at the Chicago Sports O Rama the year after they went 11-2 and also had Hoke and Brandon sign a mini helmet with Beilein. Good thing Sharpies can be rubbed off with some elbow grease!
called me a few years ago from a Detroit Lions "Garage Sale," and they were selling authentic Charles Rogers and Joey Harrington jerseys for $10.00 each.
He asked me which one I wanted, and I chose the #80 Rogers jersey, because 3 didn't seem like a good Detroit Lions football number.
I took the nameplate off the back of the jersey, so it's a generic #80 Lions jersey. I don't wear it very often.
Mississippi Valley State jersey. Since he admitted to using stickum I just hate him. All of the 49ers Super Bowls should have astericks and he should be thrown out of the HOF. He should probably be deported to Canada as well.
So I couldn't think of anything bad I have.
