Re: Anybody wear any of your game worn items?

I wear some, especially to sporting events. Sometimes I even try to match the Cleveland Indians jersey style to what the team will wear that day. When the University of Akron played its final season at the Rubber Bowl this past year, I wore a different year jersey to each game in tribute to the history there. I have found though that the older jerseys (1970's Indians, 1960's Browns) size 42 or so are too small and I am only 180 pounds.

The jerseys I wear are usually ones that did not cost a lot, though for a special occasion I would consider wearing an expensive one. First amd foremost I get them because I want to enjoy them.

You guys should list your email and Ebay user name so that I will never buy jerseys from you guys.

The only jersey's I ever wear are hockey gamers. I have a Montreal Canadiens Craig Rivet I have worn to a Canucks VS Habs game. I have also been known to buy AHL jersey's to wear. Never football or baseball.

Re: Anybody wear any of your game worn items?

I have worn all of my Game Used Jerseys at one point or another... I usually make it a point NOT to wear them after they have been signed.

Two exceptions are my Jeff Baker 2007 GU BP Jersey that he signed at Spring Training 2008:







And my 2004 Garrett Atkins GU Colorado Springs Sky Sox 'Stars & Stripes' July 4th Jersey:







Although the Atkins only gets worn once in a blue moon now due to him slowly becoming a better known player...

I have also been know to wear GU hats - in fact, I have one I bought just to wear:



That's Jason Hirsh's GU from the 2007 WS. Since he was still on the DL, he never actually played in the WS, but he did wear the hat in the dugout. I purchased it from the Rockies dugout store because 1) it was my (7 5/8) and 2) it was $25 for a GU w/ LOA vs $35 for a new 'Game Style' off the shelf!!!

Sometimes, especially now being unemployeed and given that Frank Thomas is a free agent, I dress in his 2002 uniform, put on his cleats, batting gloves, wristbands, fielding glove, hat, and I carry around a lvs of his and tramp around my house yelling "I'm Frank Thomas, please hire me for next season...please...anyone?"

j/k, I wouldn't bring myself to do it...although I have heard of some people on this forum doing it. Its just not my bag of tea.

I buy common 1980's MLB gamers in my size to wear to games. I like the pullover jerseys and am not into the current button up style. I wouldn;t wear a Hank Aaron gamer for example.

Does thr Dr J sneakers smell

The 2nd pair must have been stored in moth balls for years. Took some time to air them out.

It's been almost 30 years, so the literal and figurative funk is long gone.

Re: Wearing Game Worns.

Personally, I have never worn any of my game used jerseys although I have been tempted on a couple of occasions to try one on. I don't wear jerseys anymore anyway. I always found it a little funny to see adult men in jerseys at games anyway and I always laugh when I see people with their jerseys tucked in or worn over collared shirts but that's just me.

It's not just you. I feel the same way.
If it's not a museum piece; then wearing a jersey is cool. But, I'm a khakis/t-shirt type. Poly/nylon blends are constricting.
I like sneakers also, but I don't have boxes and boxes "on ice". Different strokes...different folks. Have any of you single dudes met a woman while wearing a jersey?

Ive never worn any of my gamers of course I started basing my collection on late 70's early 80's Mets gamers and I would never fit into a 42 or 44 lol//

Re: Wearing Game Worns.

And to answer the OP...

I've got a 76ers warmup jacket that I've worn a couple of times. There are a few numbers that have been markered over on the tag, so there's no way to know which scrub player wore it. It was cheaper than the M&N replica. First gamer I ever bought. No intention of selling it.

I don't wear the Dr. J. game shoes. Tissue paper is all that goes in them. No feet.
