CJ Matthews Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I saw this earlier on twitter, but now it's been written up on ESPN. A new startup company called JerseySquare, that rents out jerseys. http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/12987/why-own-a-jersey-when-you-can-rent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensJerseys Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Companies are doing the same thing with high fashion items - women who can't afford the thousands of dollars for a particular dress/accessory/shoes can rent it for a night for a fraction of the cost.

JustAnothaVictim Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would definitely rent a jersey with MY name on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatryk Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 going to be hard with nhl jerseys, authentic/premier? and the thousands of knockoffs for $20-30. people that would rent jerseys don't care about quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensJerseys Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Agreed. This isn't like the example I gave above about the high fashion items. People at the types of events that you would rent fashion items for all will know the second a knockoff walks through the door - that's the entire reason you would rent those items. The same can not be said for jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalGoldenBear Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 The only people who care about rocking authentics are collectors and die-hards. Everyone else is okay with buying a replica or fake for really cheap. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalGoldenBear Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Why rent or lease when you can own is the real question lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjoejr Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I don't know, it sounds like some people will use their services. If you just want to rent one then you probably don't really care about the quality anyway. But really? An NBA Swingman jersey? It's definitely not worth renting in my opinion....

RageATheM Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 My guess it will be a US only thing as shipping cost alone even in the US will push close to that $25 unless you have to pay the return or the $25 doesn't include any postage. Also depending on what postage is included if someone goes with the unlimited yearly you could easily rack up more then $200 in S&H charges (One a week, $10 shipping to you would be $520). Like most said for the cost most poeple will go with fake probably then this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFanInDC Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Stupid beyond belief. The type of person who would just want it for one game that they go to on a whim would never get it in time. That is why Jesus invented t-shirts for your team.
