wearing game used memorabilia

[joshmiller0]

I never thought I'd wear my game used items, but I was looking for authentic nba shorts and they're usually over $100... picked up three pairs at Steiner for much less so decided I'd wear them... Also bought an xmas shooting shirt game worn, but by no specific player. Post your pics of items that were worn and bought to wear

Grey shorts - Mason Plumlee game issued
Blue shorts - Iman Shumpert game used
Black shorts - Tyshaun Taylor game used
Shooting shirt - Game used by no specific player

I bought a pair of T-Wolves shorts worn by Sam Mitchell a longgggg time ago to wear playing basketball. They are super comfortable.

I don't see anything wrong with it if you don't plan on reselling it after wearing it for a while...That would be kind of weird. I know a lot of people who buy game used because it is cheaper than retail. No name MLB player jerseys get worn by people a lot.

I was at an Augusta Greenjackets(Single A affiliate for San Francisco) game the other night and the guy in front of me at the concession line was wearing a jersey worn in the Chris Heston no hitter. I noticed the hologram and asked him about it. Can't remember the player it belonged to. (beer was bogo )

I buy game issued and slightly worn jerseys, pants and bats to use. The pants made for mlb players are better quality and last longer than retail ones. Most of the jerseys are jackie robinson day issued or blank backs with I have customized. Yes they are cheaper than retail especially when it comes to bats.

100% not going to resell it.. I pulled off the steiner sticker from the shorts and put it on the COA. I love wearing the shorts.. so comfortable... The only thing I don't like is no pockets... but at a third of the cost from what they go for in stores, I'm thrilled... All my other game worn items are either on display or tucked away in a bin...

I have some John Lynch game use cleats that are my size... not sure where I would wear them. I could try them on for the fun of it though.

Re: wearing game used memorabilia

I have dozens of Alabama dri-fit shirts, shorts, jackets, etc...all are team issued and some have numbers on them, so I know that they've been used. I wear them all the time, especially in the summer.

Re: wearing game used memorabilia

I sold a Cincinnati Reds Los Rojos gamer on Craigslist. The guy was so happy handing over the money, I asked him if he collected, he said no, he was buying it to wear and was pleased to have a GU for less money than an authentic.

For me, I have a few player issued/worn items like warm ups that I wear. No game used jerseys, not that I'm opposed to it if it's a common player.

I have no problem wearing game-used items of average players or managers/coaches. I often wear them to ballgames when the player/coach who wore it is in town.

My wife, son & I were in Atlanta to see the Red Sox back in June. My son & I went down beside the Sox dugout during pregame warmups & BP to try to get a couple of baseballs autographed...no luck, but I briefly spoke with a guy wearing a Clay Buchholz jersey, untucked, with all the proper tagging. I didn't ask him about the jersey, but as we were heading back up to our seats, and there were dozens of others behind us, but I did point to it and say "Really, Really nice Buchholz gamer". He smiled and said thanks. I think I would have worn my Youkilis replica, as I did, and left the Buchholz jersey in a frame...but, that's just my own preference...he seemed quite comfortable in it.

Re: wearing game used memorabilia

I coach high school baseball and I usually dig into the $10 pants at soxfest for the kids to wear for practice. My mom cuts them and drops them to proper fitting sizes for them so they are all altered and should be pretty noticeable if they were to ever show up. I also write on the inside by the names these are high school practice. If I can find cheap cleats I also pick those up for Softball.

Re: wearing game used memorabilia

Guilty as charged. Just "Commons" and nothing that I would sell to another. Now here's another question, has anyone tried on a G/U item just to see how it would fit on you but didn't wear it outside-just put it on to look in the mirror?

Usually when I get items I try them on and take a picture of me wearing the item.. basketball players are huge so I like to see how their items fit..
