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!
I have a 1952 Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences yearbook that I inherited from my father. Back then, they titled their yearbooks Wolverine for some reason. The worst part is it had been in the basement for decades and smells mildewy.
To remind them of the smell of East Lansing.
or at least a few pages of it. that cover and the 'wolverines' tag are OP-worthy.
Too lazy to do that, but I did find a photo of two 1950s yearbooks in "like new" condition that sold on Ebay for $8.00. I'm thinking that means I'd have to pay someone to take my mildewed one.
Do they know that they called themselves wolverines?

Back in the late 90s (during the baseball jersey craze), I thought Tampa Bay's black jersey was cool and bought a Conseco one.
A Jose Canseco jersey? Tell me you didn't pay money for this!
But I think that is pretty cool.
Dopest was the old early 1990s starter jackets. I had like 6 of em.

Ha! The early 90s Starters jackets were the best. I grew up and still live in Midwest Ohio and my whole family, like the area in general, are OSU fans. I got an OSU starter jacket when I was like 8 before they realized I was a Michigan fan. I think its collecting mothballs in a closet somewhere.
Ndamokungh Suh jersey.
Ndamokungh Suh jersey.
So home & away huh
The Home one has the tags still on it!
So much for a big contract, eh?
Christmas gift...the god damned bumblebee jersey.
Mid-late '90s, this Michigan Starter thing that was like a hybrid hoodie/windbreaker. Cotton hoodie underneath with nylon over the top, as thought it were supposed to look like two separate articles of clothing but it was one. Seemed cool at the time because it was the '90s and I was a high schooler, but I saw it in a closet at my Dad's house not long ago and was like...wow.
I found a Manchester United jersey at a yard sale. The guy gave it to me for free.
I overpaid.
I had a trashcan with this logo on it. It also had my footprint in the side where I kicked it after wrecking the transmission of my truck.
I think my wife tossed it a few years ago.
when I was younger. I think my mom threw it away on accident when I went off to college.
Right there on the couch is good. No, you haven't done anything wrong, we just need to talk.
Well, Boner, I've got a bit of news for you - that wasn't an accident. Your mother hated that trash can and could not wait to get it out of the house.
And some more bad news. You know how your parents told you they sent your old dog Sparky to a farm when you left for college?
Boner ... there's no farm.
He ended up hitting .214 with 1 HR and 2 RBI in his 74 game MLB career. He was caught twice using steroids and has never been back with a major league club.
I still wear the jersey to the Mariners games I attend because I spent the money on it.

I would say it's a tie between my Joey Harrington Lions jersey and my Chone Figgins Mariners jersey. I like to wear them to hear deflated sighs.

Naturally it's next to my bed. I am a grown man.
stall. And, he was passing through and signed it the day my brother in laws construction crew tore it out to renovate.
As is typical in life, the one thing I never really wanted as part of my Michigan collection is precisely what I received as a gift one time - a garden gnome done in the Wolverine fashion, if you will. My enjoyment for this is tempered by a dislike for garden gnomes in general, not to mention one donning the colors of my alma mater. It was a gift from my parents, however, so I have not had the heart to rid myself of it just yet, so there it stands, mostly hidden from immediate view behind some very tall daisies in one of the front beds.
Buried somewhere in my stuff is a logo-ed bottle opener that plays the fight song when you open a bottle that my cousin gave to me. That'd actually be a very cool knick-knack if my cousin weren't an Ohio State fan.
I have a killer Joey Harrington bobblehead
Given as a gift, right before he was cut by the Lions. I cherish it.
I completely forgot about Rumeal being convicted and in prison. Shame.
I'd give that football a viking funeral.
I have the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press front page spreads laminated for the wall, including full page Rumeal at the free throw line. It sits in my storage room, in a dark corner, rolled up and unused.
I have a Carlos Guillen #9 jersey. I wear it when my knee is hurting and my family knows that I am not operating at 100% for that particular day.
