shrader Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Las weekend, someone gave me crap for wearing a BU hockey jersey to a BU game. She said something like 'only the students should wear jerseys'. My question is, do you think there is a point where you are officially too old to wear a jersey? Obviously, I have no problem with people wearing jerseys to games, other than basketball jerseys, which look ridiculously stupid. Football and hockey jerseys are fine, as long as you're not wearing them in public all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a torso, you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that students should pay full freight for their own education and not try to get loans subsidized by old taxpayers". My heart goes out to the poor schmuck that marries that little darling...

HopsGuy Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Does anyone actually want to act their age? In the immortal words of our esteemed modern-day philosopher, David Wooderson: "The older you get, the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin', man. L-I-V-I-N." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASCI Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The only thing that’s wrong or ironic with wearing an “athletic” jersey is if you belly hangs below it. Nothing to do with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 A stranger gave you crap for wearing a jersey? She should STFU. Maybe she could not afford her own on Daddy's allowance. Last weekend, someone gave me crap for wearing a BU hockey jersey to a BU game. She said something like 'only the students should wear jerseys'. My question is, do you think there is a point where you are officially too old to wear a jersey?

Two years ago, at my company Xmas party, one of my fellow employees showed up in a FUBU jersey with his wife. Everyone stared and made snide comments. I guess wearing a jersey to a function at LOCUST HILL wasn't exactly good judgement. Then again, marrying the neighbor hood prostitute (yep, he did) wasn't good judgement either. I guess the moral of the story is if you are going to wear a jersey don't bring your prostitite wife with you unless you are going to share.
