I see em more as collectors items...

the idea of an adult wearing a jersey being is a bit overkill on the idea. As an Adult wearing it as normal wear no way, but at the stadium or a related function I dont find childish in the least. Now, one factor to consider is the player> i dont see myself getting any of the newer players, It would be more sentiment for me whether it be Urlacher watching him growing up or something more historic. I can see distancing away as I get older though.

I will only wear another man's name on my back when me and my wife are going at it

I have a few Jerseys
I wear them occasionally
Who fking cares
Go to any game with a fan base and over half the crowd is wearing a Jersey
What I find comical is the dbag wearing a Jersey with their own name or nickname on it.....wtf is that about?

The dudes who tuck the jersey in are the real hosers.

Appropriate for little girls and Halloween. Not appropriate for grown men at an NFL game. That goes for the idiots in costumes as well.

Yeah, I agree. I only wear the skin at games.

I work with this guy whose last name is Eagle. He had a Saints jersey made with his last name on it. Pretty funny watching him get irritated with all of the questions about his jersey.

Why???

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I bet baba is old enough to not have a haircut like that, and likely has a beard due to being sick of shaving constantly, and the icing is it hides those oncoming jowls.

Awful in so many ways

Yeah. If I saw him IRL...I would tell him that Elway wore number seven, not number two.

(and then follow it up with a clever poop joke)

Man, some people are really worked up over telling people what they should and shouldn’t wear. I thought this was ‘Merica!

Look, wearing a team jersey with a player's name on the back is no different that wearing a shirt with a car on it or a beer or a state name or anything else. It simply shows respect for something you admire. I typically only wear them on game day and prefer to get jerseys of players who have proven themselves for a career and retired. Examples would be Payton, Butkus, Ditka, Tillman, Hester, Urlacher. While some spent time with other teams they will forever be remembered as Bears. Also, it's not as much about the player but about the memories of the time they played and memories they gave to the fans.

It's not as if you're pretending to be a particular player. If you see a guy in a Star Trek shirt does it mean he thinks he's part of the cast? Well maybe Ommy but not most rational people.

What about this guy who got autographs of every Bears player he could find tattooed onto his body. I guessing most of those players were from some shitty Dick Jauron team that most people can't even remember anymore.
