PotatoPhun Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I like wearing my jerseys. I think they look nice, so I wear them. It's a waste to me if they just stay on a hanger. To me, that defeats the purpose of having them That being said, all I do have are Premiers (at least for now). But once I get my authentic jersey, I'm sure I'll be wearing it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanthaBeard Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Replicas Isn't that what they're for? Authentics As above only a pricier version. I haven't worn my Staium Series or Winter classics since I got them though... Game Issued Given it was never worn by the player there's no reason not to wear them in my book. They are a step above a retail authentic but only because they are customized by the official customizer and often have team specific alterations. Gamer Now that really depends. While there's no real reason why they should come to harm if you're careful in your own home, I tend to be more of the opinion that it should remain in the same condition it left the ice in. If you end up adding to the general wear and tear of the jersey (which lets face it you're not going to if you're just sitting on the couch at home, these things are built to last) by wearing it like a retail then what's the point in shelling out for a game worn in the first place?

flyhighguys94 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 It all depends on perspective. I collect jerseys solely because I enjoy wearing them some people enjoy simply owning them. In the end, it's your jersey and you do what you want with it. If that includes eating in the nude so you don't ruin it, you go for yours. That's my personal hobby. I get weird looks all the time.

hockeyjerseyssuck Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Judging by this thread, I'm guessing most of you have nightmares where this guy chases you around while you wear your favourite jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perceptor Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Definitely wear my jerseys to games I don't want to flip them, but I don't eat anything messy. If I'm spending what I spend on them, I should be wearing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooeyperry10 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I go to an art & design college. I wouldn't even wear a replica here since sometimes things can get messy. I wear my knockoffs there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I go to an art & design college. I wouldn't even wear a replica here since sometimes things can get messy. I wear my knockoffs there though. I did too! I remember I had just bought my first Edge, a Toews jersey for his rookie season. I'd keep it in my locker so as not to get paint and sculpting materials on it, then after classes my buddy and I would walk over to the United Center and get $8 tickets with our student IDs and sit wherever we wanted. How the times have changed... (Not that I'm complaining) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinsFan88 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I wear all of mine. I just buy replicas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarchelli Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have been debating when to wear my new authentic. I was thinking I would only wear it at home or to friends houses. Never to bars or actual games because I dont trust myself. I could fall down and mess it up because im drunk or snag it on something, easily. The other thing that concerns me are cigarettes. I dont want to ever smoke in my authentic and i always smoke when i drink and end up burning a hole in my clothes. Done it to my replica, coat, tshirts, etc. Maybe quitting smoking is the best idea?

mfitz804 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I usually think that people should wear their jerseys, but given your apparent propensity for falling and setting yourself on fire, I would say you should not. Also, if you have burned your replica jersey, your coat, your t-shirts, and other clothing, you should consider quitting smoking because honestly, you really suck at it.

scarchelli Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Lmao..yes thinking about it more. I really should. Im going to wear my authentic all the time for games and not smoke anymore. (Hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Good luck to you. If all it takes to quit is buying a new jersey, then it was a couple hundred well spent. You could buy another with all the money you save on not buying cigarettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr_Puck Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 As my interest in the hobby has grown in the last year-- and as I've added more gamers and authentics-- I've become far, far more cautious with food and drink. I don't mind wearing them to games and I'll wear them in the office on days I don't have meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
