By the way im 5'10 200 pounds so i cant wear either jersey anymore my parents kept my little jersey for some reason and now my 4 year old daughter loves to wear it just like i did

That's cool that your daughter wears the jersey just like you did. That must make you proud.

Re: Replica jerseys you wore as a kid

Couldn't afford the replica jerseys when I was a kid (though I finally did get my first Raiders replica at age 20 & my first Blazers one at 25). The one exception was a Dikembe Mutombo Nuggets jersey that I found at Goodwill for $4 when I was about eight. I wasn't a Nuggets fan or a Mutombo fan, but at the time it was cool to have a jersey. Any jersey.

The weird thing is, the night Mutombo's career ended (knee injury against Portland in the playoffs), I was working security under the south basket at the Rose Garden when he went down. I was out on the court next to the medical staff as they worked on him. Didn't even occur to me until I'd got home that night that the guy whose jersey I wore as a kid had his career end literally at my feet.

When I was a kid they were not even replica jerseys as much as long sleeve t-shirts! I had a #32 Steelers (Franco Harris), a #75 Steelers (Mean Joe), a #28 Seahawks (Curt Warner) and a yellow bumble bee Pirates with no number, but to me it was a Willie Stargell!

The two I wore as a kid were Don Majkowski, it was more of a t-shirt jersey and a John Stockton Jazz replica.

They are both a little shorter than they used to be, but I can still get them on.

Re: Replica jerseys you wore as a kid

For me it was a Steve Largent Seahawks jersey I got for Christmas. I remember wearing it every chance I got. I desperately wanted a Dennis Johnson Sonics jersey, but I could never afford one. I settled for a Supersonics world champions t-shirt which I have to this day.
I would love to get any Seahawks, Sonics, or Mariners jersey from the late 70's/early 80's. I have a feeling I may be waiting for a while.
