Do any of your friends/family members ever ask to wear your equipment?

Re: Do any of your friends/family members ever ask to wear your equipment?

My 14 year old daughter asked to borrow a jersey for Sports Jersey Day at school. She ended up wearing a Cromartie Chargers Reebok Authentic (not game used or even issued) from my rack. I offered her my Tim Dobbins gameworn throwback as it fit her better and isn't exactly overly valuable.

But it was unwashed and grossed her out.

Before getting married I negotiated the entire basement as my Man Room. My wife gets to decorate the rest of the house. The man room has two rooms that are exclusively Chargers Rooms and the remainder of the basement is dedicated to players I've liked from all the other NFL teams. I'm able to display about 65 of my game worn jerseys and it's in the Chargers Room that I watch my football games. When my family gets together over a Chargers game I let my nephews, 5 year old son, brother-in-law, brother and father all wear a game worn jersey. We'll switch from offensive to defensive players' jerseys during the game to "help" the Chargers offense or defense as appropriate. The kids think that they gain that players "powers" while they're wearing the jersey.

There is no eating allowed while wearing the jersey and they have to sit somewhat still. No harm has come to any of the jerseys and the kids and family love it. It makes it fun for them and that was partly my intent when I created the Man Room.

My wife doesn't understand or like the Man Room, but she doesn't fight me on it and is pretty supportive.

I am very picky with my items so I never let anyone try anything on or even swing a bat lol. I would like the player to be the last person that used the item. Just me.
