Jerseys?

[cornelldavy]

Here's my PSA about nameplates again: When you go get a nameplate for your jersey, make sure they use the proper sans serif font. Bring a picture of your player with his back to the camera if you have to.

bummer, i was trying to get 14 for a friend and wondered who beat me to it (got 18 white :-D). just so i can agonize as to how close i was to getting it, what time did you reserve it?

I called a little after 9 am... it would have been earlier, but i was a bit late getting into work (something about hearing "it's zero degrees outside" and having the activation energy for getting out of bed triple) ;-)

Hey buddy, I actually had a hold on that 29 red (and the 19 red) for about 2 hours. You probably snagged it after I took it off the hold. I'm glad dude. Wear it well. LET'S GO RED!

I saw this on espn.com yesterday... and thought it would be appropriate to post here since there are quite a few of us who will now be making a major "fashion faux pas" (unless you are one of the people who is going to frame the jersey, instead of wearing it) :-D

Or unless you're female.  According to the last sidebar, "there's nothing sexier than a sports jersey.  On a woman, that is."  I have a free pass :-P

On a more slightly more pertinent note, while I think wearing jerseys to sporting events where you're a fan is generally okay, those that wear sleeveless jerseys (i.e. basketball jerseys) should seriously consider what they're wearing underneath, because I will point and laugh if it looks bad.  (See the top picture.)  Luckily, hockey jerseys don't have that problem

On a much less pertinent note, I heard last week on the radio that Japanese baseball was going to require those that led cheers in the stands to have permits.  When googles, this is the article I came up with: http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=kuchikomi&id=364  Imagine having to investigate every person that started a cheer in Lynah...

Yeah, yeah, I know.  I kept on reading that sidebar.  My "unless you're female" point may stand, though, as I would assume most girls wearing jerseys are doing it because they're ardent fans and thus have a very good reason to overrule their innate fashion sense.  While guys are given the same courtesy in my mind if they're at a game (especially if I know the jersey is hard to get, ahem, CORNELL), I'm far more likely to completely dismiss them outside of that context.

It does give new meaning to "game-worn", doesn't it?  :-D

omigod, that changes everything!  Oh, no, wait... it doesn't.

I think an important sign of self-respect for guys is the willingness not to do whatever it takes to get some chick in the sack.  When a guy starts down that road, he'll inevitably end up getting married to someone who'll nag him into his grave.

::whistle::    You thought I went by "Jerseygirl" because I live in NJ?

(Sorry, had to make the comment)

Are you saying there's any other option?  j/k ;-) :-P

[Jerseygirl]

...and does it annoy anyone else that there are two spelling/usage mistakes on that schedule? Oh right, like you even noticed 'em.
