TJ Maxx in Ann Arbor?
Guys -
So I have a dream, not a inspiring one, but one that I came up with last year. I want to have every UM jersey, 1-99. Obviously some numbers are more likely to be had, and have recurring usefulness.
I don't have the budget to make the dream come true anytime soon, so my goal is to buy last year's jerseys every year.
My question is this - have you guys seen any of the quality jerseys at the local TJ Maxx? I'd obviously be willing to cover cost + shipping if I could get some assistance buying these.. The 4+ hour drive to AA makes this a little harder..
So far I have 7, 20, and 86.
Good luck with finding a mass marketed #76. Here's #77:
A four on the wonderlic? Damn, this means even Vince Young beat him.
/sarcasm.
Will can I actually enter a TJ Maxx and be allowed back out without the proper innoculations?
TJ Maxx has some kickin' stuff for the prices. We just bought a small dresser for the TV and whatnot in the bedroom in there, a NICE piece of furniture, for $125.
The last $125 piece of furniture I bought anywhere besides there was a piece of crap that actually arrived broken and I had to fix myself because Value City wouldn't take it back.
A twelve-buck endgrain cutting board. Friggin' thing is 18x24" and twelve pounds. TJs is a wonderful place with lots of garbage and a few real gems.
lol, Value City. No surprise there.
for the minimum at TJ Maxx!
Sorry...probably in East Lansing.
Life / art? Hard to say, really:

You're unfortunately going to have to scale this dream down a bit (unless you decide to spend a fortune special-ordering). For one thing, five of our jersey numbers are retired, so you'll never find a #11, #47, #48, #87 or #98 in a TJ Maxx. But beyond that, only offensive skill players' jerseys are sold, for the most part. The vast majority of numbers are never going to be on a jersey for sale.
There will be a few jerseys there. I have seen 4 and 10 there, but they are generally the Nike, silk-screened versions. Good luck.
you could also buy number-less jerseys and have the numbers sewn on them...a lot of work...but if you have a stay-at-home-wife... ;)
TJ Maxx has a few Ryan Mallett jerseys in stock.
It's much easier just to collect the big ones... I've been able to get the #1, 2, 4, 7 and 10 for under $100 total.
Once a player "number" graduates, their jersey can usually be had for less than $20.
Still trying to find a 21 and 32, but I'm in no rush.
I still got the A-Train jersey from back in the day. But I wore it so much the screen numbers are basically invisible now. As for a 21, I got one at a Champs sports that was going out of business in my home town. It's a throw back and looks pretty weak, the maize isn't even close to the right color, but it was nike and under 20 bucks so I picked it up. Other than that all I have is 2 and 20
Its all about timing. I have a buddy who works for honda and goes to detroit, he managed to get me the 20 and 86 for $10 each.. high quality, just a year after they left..
I wanted a 20 but couldn't find one at anything less than full asking price....
The sidewalk sales during the Ann Arbor Art Fair--typically the State St/North U sports shops--seem to have a lot of jerseys/last season's t-shirts/merchandise on clearance.
I bought a really cool Bo t-shirt a couple summers ago.
You'll have to deal with the crowds but it's actually a lot of fun!
Check Wal-Mart, I've seen some good stuff there.
rather than staring at the shirt rack all day.
I like your fandom, but this is fucking stupid because it's impossible and pointless.
No offense though.

So i asked this at the end of last season.
Now I'm wondering if anyone has seen Minor's, etc, jerseys for sale there recently?
I sported my 20 last week on campus here at OSU last week.. With shaw likely out this week, wishing I had more numbers.

is the answer. Hell, you could effectively switch jerseys on each play as your own personal tribute to the player that most impressed you.
