    Re: Using game used gear???

    Why not? With the huge glut of modern jerseys being pumped out by teams, I see more and more gamers being worn at games each year. I counted 15 different jerseys in a season for a team, multiply that by 30 (25 players,5 coaches) and at least 2 sets of home and road and you are over 500 jerseys a season. A far cry from 2 or 3 sets of home and road from the old days. They are readily available and cheap(thanks to overproduction). At clubhouse sales(this past weekend) I saw many jerseys in the $75 dollar range.
    Ill fitting retail jerseys can even be more, so why not?

    Of course, important jerseys, stars, and vintage ones are not to be worn by me,
    but I've worn a '96 Bob Wickman to 2or3 games a year for 19 years and wash it everytime, and looks as good as the day I bought it, and would never sell it.

    Overproduction by teams has seriously flooded the market, lowering demand and value prices, and I don't see how wearing a common jersey could be a bad thing

      i sell a bunch of jerseys, and very frequently, especially with basketball jerseys (and other various items), i am asked what the length and chest width of the jersey is because the prospective buyer intends to wear the jersey. this has ranged in price from $200-$1000+. it drives me NUTS when people say they want to wear what i am selling them, but to each their own. what is more concerning is if these people are going to try and resell the jersey after wearing it.

        Back in high school I bought team issued cleats from a pretty big player to wear them. Same size and really nice quality. They looked cool and he also had the same number as me so I thought it was cool.
