Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?

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.

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!!

Hey... You could have had the Mark Dewey jersey a couple of years back!

But then again, it's probably weird to walk around with your first name on your back. I wouldn't exactly want a "NICK" jersey...

Re: Name your most WTF? jersey you've owned or seen?

Here are my "WTF" jerseys in no particular order...

1. At a Mets memorabilia party, one guy was wearing a 1986 style Mets jersey with the name "BUCKNER" on the back, and in place of a number, he had a large "E3" I thought this was creative... but I can imagine he wouldn't want to wear this one in Boston.

2. Oddball game used jerseys from my own collection... I have a Lowell Spinners "Star Wars" theme jersey and a Binghamton Mets "Star Trek" theme jersey. Also, a Brooklyn Cyclones tie-dye jersey from the "Furthur" theme night last season. All of them are capable of generating stares (but not the good kind).

3. Those "Frankenjerseys" you see on ebay that I call attention to on the forum every now and then... most notably the Cubs Ron Santo jersey where the 1 on the back is about 3X the thickness of the 0, and the Sammy Sosa Rangers jersey with the Cubs font lettering on the back.

4. Any TATC jersey.

Nick, I remember that one! Now that might have been a WTF if I'm wearing around a Mets jersey with my first name on it.

1.) I just blew ginger ale out my nose.
2.) I have one of these also. Odd indeed.
4.) Agreed!

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...........

No offense taken, been a little slow since returning from the desert, just thought something was going over my noggin.

It can get nasty in those stands at times. Now they stop selling booze at the end of the half.
