slimcutta Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just make sure to take a pic/photo-match the mustard drip as you jam that bologna pony down your gullet... ...after all, it's still part of the history of the jersey.

ValleyParade Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 My only advice is be super careful at games. All I own is reps, and I was wearing my blank Victoria Royals to a Royals game, being fairly careful, guy behind me drenches me with beer. No matter how careful you are in a gamer, theres still a chance it happens. This is why rarely wear jerseys to bars anymore. After the Bruins won the conference finals in 2011, my Bergeron sweater turned into a beer-seeking missile for the rest of the night.

Cygnus X-1 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 beer rinses out Sadly I've had this happen- it wasn't a whole lot so I came home and hand-washed the area with Woolite.....are you saying dunking it in a tub of cold water (or running it under water) would be adequate?

Brilliant! Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've worn game jerseys to the Garden before. I always get compliments on my white John Ogrodnick and blue Jan Erixon. It's not hard to stay clean if you're careful. But, I'd never really go any higher than those guys. I certainly wouldn't wear my Amonte there.

enzo269 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I wear my blue NYR gamers to games... I'm am afraid to wear my whites... Ketchup, wings or pizza sauce would be disastrous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I wear my blue NYR gamers to games... I'm am afraid to wear my whites... Ketchup, wings or pizza sauce would be disastrous! Totally. And I don't have gamers but that's why I don't wear my WC out anymore-don't want to risk it getting stained. But I feel like my white CCM's are ok to wear vs. my white EDGE (1.0) as if the EDGE gets dirty I'd have to come home and wash it. And since it's made primarily of sugar and paper mache it would surely dissolve under the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharolde Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Not sure I get the fear of wearing gamers out in public. Granted I am not wearing my best gamers out, but I almost exclusively wear game worns to games. I don't eat during the game I eat before and when I do I take my jersey off...simple. Yes, I have had a beer spilled down my back by the drunk behind me. Got home, washed the jersey on delicate cycle and back to the way it was before the spillage. The only real risk of washing out wear is if the jersey hasn't been washed since the wear(stick mark) was added to the jersey. I purchased a game worn and was handed the jersey immediately after the game. The jersey was drenched and there was no way that sweat soaked jersey was hanging next to my other jerseys. There was a stick mark on one of the back numbers that faded even though I washed the jersey without detergent. Had I not picked up the jersey after the game it would've been washed by the team and the stick mark would've been gone anyways. Exercise a little care and enjoy your jerseys...isn't that why you purchased them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I agree. Other than the WC, because it is a light colored jersey AND hard to replace, I wear 'em all. I'll wear the WC in more "controlled" environments lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFanInDC Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I wear all of mine, want to enjoy them and they are a talking piece with folks instead of sitting in a closet. Teams wash their jerseys so I have no issue getting beer spilled on me and washing it. You ever try and sell it just be honest and say it has been washed since you purchased it; slight sticks marks may come out but it will still have the burns, tears, and repairs.

mfitz804 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I guess as someone who doesn't collect gamers, to me if you care that much about it being photomatched and/or want to resell it, you shouldn't do anything that would change its condition. If you buy it to wear it and as a conversation piece, then it doesn't really matter if you wear it and wash it. As has been pointed out, the team washes them constantly anyway, so marks that were there when a picture was taken may have been washed out before you ever bought it.

jersey_guy99 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I wear all of mine including my lindens. I'm just careful not to eat sloppy foods in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyers845 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 You can do whatever you want in them go food shopping, rent a car, paint a picture , rob a bank, etc. it wouldn't hurt to just tell the future buyer you wore it recreationally just so accidental wear doesn't get confused for game wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo269 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just be careful while wearing them.. You should be able to enjoy them... It would just really suck to get a spaghetti, ketchup or wine stain on a jersey that doesnt come out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's somewhat comical, walking around in my WC on a Sunday doing my thing but removing it before sitting down for dinner with the family.

BPerkins Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 How can i find HD photos to photomatch my jersey ? Scour AP Images and Getty looking for obvious matches. Look at hockey cards, media guides, magazines, books, etc. Then use the info in this other thread on getting prints from the Getty matches you'll find of that shirt. http://forums.icejerseys.com/index.php?showtopic=6003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
