I’m hopefully on a plane to Chicago right now with Mets Police Mom who will be making her Wrigley debut. In the meantime, here’s some more Chicago-prep for those of you joining T-Shirt Guy in Chicago tomorrow.
From 2009…
When I went to Wrigley Field (in 2009) I took tons of pics.
One thing I enjoyed was walking around the neighborhood checking out all the mom & pop Cubs stores and stands.
I’m not a fan of the merchandise that bashes other teams.
These next few shots are from one of the big stores next to the stadium. I don’t know what it is called but I bet any Cubs fan could tell us in two seconds.
Notice how almost everything is Cubs blue, not some crazy Charlie Samuels black or marketing department variant?
I thought the Japanese nameplate on the Fukodome jerseys was fun. The Cubs fan I was with bought one, and I asked him how he could be sure it didn’t say “Dopey American.” Maybe Fukodome giggles his way to the bank.
Spoke too soon…some green stuff has infiltrated!
See you at the confines!
There is a black Cubs jersey on the mlb shop
