Your view on wearing jerseys
i've had a feeling for a long time that this is a topic that needs its own arena, if you will. It has broken out in other threads about adults wearing jerseys vs. those against it. Time for one discussion.
What is your view on wearing jerseys to sporting events/while watching sporting events (and nothing more) and why?

To be fair, these are awesome.

This was the one they linked. I'm not a Bulls fan and I know this is Pistons territory, but this is a damn fine throwback (and a well done picture helps a lot too):

I always wear my Michigan man thong for big games...and only the man thong.
PS: Upvoted for the tags.

5 pics for a bushel of beets. Straight up.

I'm fine with fans of any age wearing jerseys to sporting events. Outside of sporting events seems a bit odd to me, but hey you do you. Not judging.

I used to be more into jerseys. I didn't collect them, but wore blank ones depending on who was playing & if it was home/away. Now all I have is Michigan home & away, a Lions & a pair of Knicks shorts. I just got to the point where I didn't care about wearing a jersey anymore. I can root on my favorite team and be comfortable in something that isn't made of polyester that feels awful.

this rule is basically how i do it too.
wearing a barry sanders jersey is sick no matter how old you are. like, i couldnt imagine looking at someone wearing a sanders throwback jersey and saying "thats weird".
now if you are over 40 and wearing a stafford jersey??? maybe i can judge you.
im only 21 so there arent many players younger than me, but i dont think i will ever want to buy a jersey of someone my age or younger. ill stick to throwbacks at this point

I think an adult wearing the jersey of a college student is just weird.
March 18th, 2015 at 10:23 PM ^
What are you saying?
Are you trying to imply the #10 and #23 Basketball jerseys sold at MDen aren't just generic?

At least he doesn't have an arrow in the back of his foot and is about to die.

It's a personal choice. I haven't worn jerseys since I was a teen but about half of my shirts are UM related.

...as long as they say INGE on the back. I assume that's what you're talking about.

You obviously know my answer.
Jerseys are only on during games.
I stick with hoops at hoops, football at football, and hockey at hockey. I have 3 different hockey jerseys--including the sweet new one from the Soldier Field game--and like to mix the colors up depending upon the team's success when I wear them.
I'll wear my new one to the B1G tourney this weekend; if we win tomorrow, I'll keep it going Friday, and then hopefully Saturday (but not counting on that).

When it comes to Michigan games, if you're up and cheering and not bitching at me for standing up on a 2nd and 8, I don't care what you're wearing.

I bought my M hockey jersey like 5 years ago for $80 I think and I've worn it for every hockey game, most football games, and some basketball games since. It's totally worth the money to me. My favorite piece of Michigan gear by far
Most people pay $80 easily each month for cable or wireless. I got a jersey for $80 that will probably last me well past a decade

Neither would I, instead, I'll just buy my own.
March 19th, 2015 at 12:42 AM ^
would you wear a womans jersey? serious question.
March 19th, 2015 at 12:51 AM ^
An authentic Sara Driesenga...er, Michigan Softball #10 jersey from MDen goes for the low price of $300.
Id wear if someone else bought it for me lol
March 18th, 2015 at 10:33 PM ^
We would all be so lost if it weren't for fashion police. Brown shirt with black pants? Socks with sandals? Sports jerseys after you're old enough to shave? Thank you, unsung heroes of the internet.

I think it's pathetic when adults try to embody other adults by wearing a replica of that person's uniform. It's weird.
March 18th, 2015 at 10:59 PM ^
March 19th, 2015 at 12:25 AM ^
So you think everyone that buys a jersey of a player they support is to embody them? I think that logic is pretty pathetic.
