I remember back in high school, guys who played football wore their jerseys on gameday to school. those jerseys didnt look like an oversized potato sack or a tent...they fit relatively similar to a shirt.

why cant collegiate and NFL jerseys for fans be the same way?

I do think that soccer, hockey, and i'll even put baseball jerseys in the category of sports jerseys that look ok on fans.

but football jerseys manufacturers just need to change. why hasnt anyone at those companies recognized that "hey, if we make jerseys look relatively normal on adult men, then our sales will go up?"

seems like they're missing a huge opportunity.

They sell them in an array of sizes, like pants you can buy your jersey to fit how you like, see you can like them again????? Brilliant!!!!

My last name is Lattimore, and I can be seen at Carolina Stadium with my jersey, and my two son's also have theirs!

I dare you to walk up and tell me I shouldn't be wearing them!

Ever seen a pissed off redneck?

1. Lives in Myrtle Beach
2. Dresses the same as his sons
3. A self proclaimed redneck
4. Wears Jerseys in public.

I rest my case.

(FYI I own many a jersey. Even a Luke Kuechly Panthers jersey. I also own pajama pants and bedroom slippers. None of which I wear in public.)

Hm, not really, because the PROPORTIONS are all f'ed up.
So no matter the size, the length of the arms proportional to the body of the jersey is absolute garbage.

Kind of similar to what someone mentioned earlier about shorts that are longer than your knees. Its ridiculous looking.

If I'm going to spend $80.00 for a Jersey, I'm going to wear the hell out of it.

So, the dude posts a pic of his new collection of jerseys of former gamecocks in the pros... which is pretty cool btw IMO... and it's immediately followed by the totally original and brand new "grown men wearing jerseys" debate... even though he never stated that he planned on wearing them to begin with... Way to go, guys... you all suck and ruined this thread... just couldn't help yourselves...

What chafes me is the audacity of some people telling you how you can use those, as if they are the final authority on what's cool.

Last time I checked, this was a free country.

Frame them, fine.

Frame them together, fine.

Wear them, yes, that's fine, too. It's not juvenile, it's showing your support for something bigger than yourself.

Enjoy the hell out of those jerseys any way you want. You paid for them; it's your business.

I think they are awesome. You were willing to shell out some big bucks for those, so enjoy the hell out of them.

All other jerseys may only be worn at your house, or someones home where a sports themed party is taking place.

This is stupid, If I paid as much for a jersey as I do, or have, I will wear it any damn where I please.
