OT-What is the worst piece of memorabilia or apparel that you own?

Submitted by CJRockford on

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.

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.

Back in the late 90s (during the baseball jersey craze), I thought Tampa Bay's black jersey was cool and bought a Conseco one.

All my memorabilia is pretty cool, but I do have an old Texas Longhorns baseball jersey (black with orange lettering ) that was a gift. It is terrible.

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.

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.

Belonged to my sister who died at 13. I still wear it when it's really cold. People only make fun of it once. My response about how they must feel like a big man making fun of a dead little girls hat usually reminds them they have somewhere else to be. It is one ugly hat.

you wear the hat of a deceased sibling that you know people will mock just to tell them about your deceased sibling? I'm incredibly sorry for your loss (!) but maybe you should stop that. Keep the hat but don't do what you're doing. That's really really dark and eventually you'll find that person that says "I don't care" or something and you'll be fighting or worse. I mean that from the most kind, sincere place.

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.

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.

I have a Luis Ugueto Seattle Mariners jersey. I bought it in high school and had his name put in the back. The person at the team store didn't even know how to spell his name and needed a program to figure it out.

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.

Signed by Rich Rod and a t-shirt signed by Drew Henson...neither are really bad, just reminders of hopeful times that didn't go as planned.

My mom got me this horrible sweatshirt for Christmas last year. It must have been on sale because she usually has good taste. It's like highlighter yellow with two blue stripes on the sleeves. And then it's a zip-up but the zipper is too long so when u sit down it like sticks out. Ugh... Classic Adidas, poorly made and ugly

And a box of Macaroni and Cheese signed by Dave Brandon. I'm not sure why he signed these items, or the significance of them. I keep them in an old Dominos box with my Lloyd Carr singed book about "Leadership".

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 Rumeal Robinson autographed basketball that I'm not too proud of anymore. I also have a Brady Hoke autographed ball that now sits next to it in the darkest nether region of my closet.
