Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?
No, I guess you didn't miss the point, but rather I missed the point, as I see no point in posting into what was conceived as a humorous thread and offering an opinion and getting sniped at for it. Why does everything need to be dissected and minutely analyzed?
If I gave you a customized jersey with your name on it and your number of choice (let's say, Fonzarelli, #12), just stop for the briefest second and ask yourself if you would wear this jersey into the stands at a Pats home game. Didn't think so.
It is definitely becoming prudent to keep a low profile on this forum these days. Gingi, why have you forsaken me???

Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?
It wasn't a "snipe" at all. It was an honest attempt to find the humor. I go to many Patriots games in a #1 Jersey with my last name on it. I just didn't see the connection with the #16 jersey. Last guy I remember wearing it was Zolack.
Maybe there is too much sniping going on, it's making people too sensitive.

Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?
NEFAN, I apologize as I did not mean to disparage anyone else wearing a personalized jersey. My buddy John always lamented what he did (himself) and I went along with it. He had buyer's remorse and felt he needed to wear it to get his money's worth. He caught a lot of grief from the drunks in the stands. I am sure you can relate, especially in the second half, it can get pretty belligerent up there in the nosebleeds.
John Smith was a mighty #1 so I will reminisce and be done with it. I was not trying to be mean-spirited in my original post......and I will now disclose what the name was on my buddy's jersey so you can hopefully share my point's humor:
WINKELMAN
16
All he would get was a slurred "who the F**K is WINKELMAN?" about 40 times a game. It was funny, sad, and I guess you had to be there.
Now, back to our regular programming...........

Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?
eisenreich8 no problem. I guess I got to stop being so sensitive
Like I mentioned in my original post. I had a WTF moment when I first saw the Seahawks #12 (as in twelfth man) "FAN" jerseys. I guess instead of having your own name or the name of a favorite player you could just be one of the herd.
I still have WTF moments when I see Randy Moss jerseys being worn at Raiders games. Here was a guy who quit on the team and people are still wearing his jersey. If you're a true fan just pony up the money and go out and get a new jersey.
I'm still waiting for a player with the last name of St. Germaine to play for the A's, Warriors, or Raiders so I can buy one of their jerseys!![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]www.alamedasportsproject.com

Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?
I hear you Dewey, I have the opposite problem....with a last name like Madden, I cannot have a customized jersey made for any team as I would be taken for a 12 year old.
I don't need a jersey to have that happen lol. I parallel what you say about Moss jerseys in Oakland with the proliferation of ManRam jerseys at Fenway. "Quit on the team" chiseled in stone. And it didn't end in Boston, did it? But that's a topic for another day.......

Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?
When I read "WTF? jersey", the first thing I thought of was "Frankenjersey" - the "jersey" somebody sewed together using the pieces from a whole bunch of "game worn jersey" cards, and then put on eBay, a few years ago.
I see nothing odd about wearing the jersey of a team's former member, particularly a much-loved one. I see Diamondbacks jerseys all the time with (Matt) Williams, (Luis) Gonzalez, or (Randy) Johnson...but I guess that's more of a Baseball thing.
I haven't seen him in a while, but one guy used to come to every home game vs. the Dodgers wearing a jersey that said: "L.A. Sucks" across the back.
