I've never been a fan of owning "player jerseys"

[A New Era]

I don't understand this whole idea of "solid investments". . It's not like you can't still wear a Zambrano jersey if he is no longer with the team or has injuries. He is still the MAN and a great cub! Same thing for your prior and wood jerseys. I'd be wearing a wood jersey right now if I already had one. The man came back for less because he is a Cub! And don't through those Prior jersey's away yet either!

[ZMovieman]

I got a Zambrano. A sound investment.

 

I got a Zambrano jersey back in June 2004. Right about the point he really started to break out. Guess I'm good luck. Or that's what I'll fool myself into believing!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I still wear my Sosa jersey!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans shirt. It's black with white lettering.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I've had a Ramirez jersey since 04, and I'm getting a Soriano jersey shirt for Christmas.

lolol

 

I have to say every time I scroll down this thread I chuckle.

 

it's sophomoric, but for some reason the big "69" is what gets me laughing. actually the thought of giving someone a jersey with #69 and his name on it is what cracks me up.

[NorthsideAvenger]

I still wear my Mark Prior jersey, with pride. One of these days, Prior is going to make it a popular jersey again.

 

But you can't go wrong, with an Ernie Banks jersey, which I did.

[soccer10k]

I still wear my Sosa jersey!

 

Same here and I wear it proudly.

[Derwood]

I never understood why you're a douchebag (in some circles) for putting your own name on a jersey, yet it is somehow macho to honor another man by putting his name on your own back. Such a public display of man love always seemed more emasculating to me.

 

That isn't to say I really give a crap whichever one someone chooses.

 

You mean besides the fact that you don't play for the Cubs?

[crowes74]

jerseys are way too expensive, so i only have a few ( zambrono, maddux, wood, manning, and shockey)

 

i'd say the next jersey of currant players id get would be aram.

i'd also get a lee or soriano jersey.

 

classics that i'd love to have, grace santo sandberg + davis ( favorite player as a boy)

[Big Fergie J]

I guess I'm lame cause I actually like jerseys.

 

I have 2 Wood, a Prior and a Sosa.

 

Funny thing is I have a Soriano Yankee jersey fron when I lived in NYC :shock:

[bhogg]

the real douchebag is the guy who, 3 years ago this week, broke into my house and stole 2 sandberg jeseys (among other things).

 

Did you ask Whitey Herzog?

 

they eventually caught the guy. We wasn't a whitey ;)

[CuseCubFan69]

I've only owned two jersey with numbers on them and those were Alan Page's 88 and Carl Eller's 81. OK, they were just sweatshirts but I loved those shirts when I was younger. I do wear number 23 when I'm coaching.

did you get your jerseys back?

[bhogg]

Nope, didn't get them back. The guy was stealing stuff and selling it for crack money.

 

I'm sure he dumped the sandberg jerseys. . .. other than me and my mom, who would want a Sandberg Jersey in southeast arkansas?

[oldstyle81]

i have 5 cubs jerseys

 

prior pinstripes from 2003

prior alternate from 2004

BP from 2005

Sandberg pinstripes from 1984

alternate with no name

 

if prior sucks it up or is traded i wonder if i can get the name replaced

[UMFan83]

I still love my Grace jersey.

 

For some reason, I have a Baker jersey that I got for cheap on Ebay back in early 04. What the hell am I supposed to do with that piece of garbage?

 

I would tape Sorianos name over the Baker. Voila, you have a Soriano jersey

[ConstableRabbit]

I've always felt you should have a jersey that just says CUBS. Not advertise or smooch all over just ONE player. But. I'm gonna order me a Ramirez jersey. Seriously. That guy is such a cub at heart, he declined millions of dollars to come back to us. I feel the love man.

 

::orders ramirez jersey::

 

Haha I'm asking for an ARam jersey for Christmas.

 

The guy is just awesome

My guess: Joe Morgan

I have one Jersey. I got a Kerry Wood Jersey for my birthday which took place in April of 2004. I got it in the mail and wore it for the first time on the day he was injured in a May start against the Dodgers. He hasn't really ever been healthy since then. I don't think I will be picking up any more jerseys any time soon.

Can you get an Albert Pujols jersey?

[hawkcub]

Years ago I got a hockey jersey with a player's name on the back of it. He was traded within a year. After that I decided to never put a players name on the back of a jersey, no matter what sport. Jersey's are pretty expensive so if your jersey is rendered unwearable it is not a good thing. Although if I found a good deal on a jersey with a Classic Cub (Santo, Sandberg,Banks) I would probably buy it. Edited November 26, 2006 by hawkcub

[cubscott34]

I too have a Prior jersey that I got in 2003, along with a David Carr jersey...

 

 

 

 

I think I need to stop buying jerseys.

I almost got a Mark Recchi Penguins jersey back around 1990 or 1991, literally weeks before he was traded to Philly

 

My only jerseys are a #32 PSU jersey (Ki-Jana Carter at the time) and a #7 Bengals jersey (Esiason)

[Iceblink]

Dammit. I can't link to the image of the #19 Murton customized jersey and say how sharp it looks.

 

I blame Bud Selig and Dusty Baker.
