Back in Queens in the 80’s there was a kid we made fun of called “Mr. Sports jersey.”
We didn’t know the kid (he went to another school) but MSJ was never spotted without some sort of sports attire.
He’d rock out a full Padres uniform (Steve Garvey) or a random basketball jersey or something. Always a random “weird” team.
I wonder if I am starting to become ab adult version.
I have gone on a jersey buying kick. I now have pinless, Seaver 83, 80s blue pullover and whatever we’re calling the non-retro pinstripes with dropshadow (contest time?). Oh and I bought Junior his own and he looks great. Beloved daughter wants one now but asked for black. We’ll see.
I can’t wear any of these to work, but I have been wearing them on the weekends. Maybe the other soccer dads are making fun of “the dude that always wears a Mets jersey. At least I rotate them.
My questions for you: what’s the right situations for wearing these (non-games). Little league? Lawn mowing? Supermarket? Sitting in the yard? Both weekend days? Once a month?
Tomorrow I will ask you which Lee Mazzilli jersey I should buy. Not sure how I’ll work that in.
