What do you do with your jerseys of players?

Question

from your team that are no longer with your team?

Do you still wear them?

Answer 1

Sometimes, like an Allen Iverson jersey.  I'd still wear his 76ers one, but I wouldn't wear a Jason Kidd jersey when he was on the nets or something like that

Answer 2

Hmmm you're a Broncos fan, so I reckon that you're asking this question because you probably have a John Lynch jersey.

Well, seeing as the only jersey I have is Tom Brady, I wouldn't know what to do with jerseys of players that have left already. However, in my opinion, just keep the jerseys and wear them.

Tons of people still wear the jerseys of former players. I guarantee Packers fans will still wear Favre jerseys, Dolphins fans will wear Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor jerseys, and so on and so forth.

Edit: Like everyone else said though, it depends on the player as well. If it is a player that spent less than 4 of 5 seasons with a team, don't wear that jersey. Or, don't continue wearing a jersey if that player never went to the Pro Bowl with that team.

Answer 3

i will keep it and save it. I still wear Willie McGinest jersey and he is no longer a pat. I also have a TD , Bledsoe and Slade' s jerseys

Answer 4

i burned my ricky williams jersey

(saints fan)

Answer 5

Hey Nikky...good to see ya...

Though I'm a Colts fan, I'm a huge fan of John Lynch, coz he is a heck of a player on the field, and a heck of a person off the field...If I were you I would wear that jersey with pride :]

Answer 6

Generally, I will take old jerseys and not wear them while a player is actively playing for another team.  Once they retire, the jerseys are once again OK for me to wear.  It seems disloyal to me to wear them while they are playing for another team.  But, I am one of the many freaky, superstitious fans out there who have many odd habits.

Answer 7

The jerseys get retired and hang permanently in the rafters of my closet which is all of them cept one.  It sucks cuz they're all authentic jerseys.

- Chris Spielman

- Deron Cherry (retired right after I got it)

- Eric Zeier (Browns moved outta Cleveland...WTF?)

- Barry Sanders (retired the next season)

- Bo Jackson (KC Royals.....retired shortly after from a hip injury)

- Jeff Bagwell

- Mark McGuire (A's....goes to the Cardinals pretty soon after)

- Johan Santana (signs with Mets a couple months later)

- Oliver Perez

- Vince Carter (Raptors)

- Steve Nash (Mavericks)

- Ray Bourque (Bruins)

I'm trying to find a Tony Boselli jersey with the Jaguars.  d**n it's hard finding it in size 52.  I would definetly wear this.

Answer 8

I don't own jerseys.

Answer 9

Depends on the player. If it is like a Packers Brett Favre jersey I would still wear it. But if it was like a Brett Favre Falcons jersey I wouldnt.

Answer 10

I still wear an old Kerry Collins Jersey that i bought during the Giants Super Bowl run that ended with that embarrassing loss to the Ravens. It was a disappointing ending but i was still happy with the Giants season b/c that was another year that they weren't expected to do much at the time & they still went all the way to the Super Bowl.

Answer 11

I had a Marshall Faulk jersey when I was younger (that I've outgrown now). Otherwise, I've just had a personalized jersey.

Answer 12

I'm a Packer fan and I only bought a Favre jersey not long before he retired.  I'm still going to wear my jersey even though he's gone to the Jets because he was such a great player for the orginization of the Packers.  

With your situation I think it's a bit different as Lynch hasn't been playing as long as others did like Favre, Elway etc.
