infrared41 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can't recall if we've ever had a thread addressing this. Nothing similar came up in a search. Anyway...I was reading through the Super Bowl VII helmet carts thread. There is a post with an old Sears ad for NFL jackets and hats in there that's from the early 70's. Seeing that ad reminded me of all the NFL stuff I had as a kid and my first NFL jersey. I thought it might be fun to post where we got our "uniform geek" start. My first jersey was a #79 Packers jersey with the long sleeves. My cousin gave it to me so I have no idea where it came from. It was basically a kids version of one of these...

Canadian_Idiot Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Bought this jersey completely blank when I first started playing on ice.Really had no knowledge of the Canadiens, but when my Coach asked if I was a "Habs fan"- I decided to figure more out about the team.Added the crest much later.

cappital92 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I asked for a LaDainian Tomlinson jersey for Christmas 2002, based only on the word of a classmate who said Ladainian was the best player in the league. As a Redskins fan with no Internet or cable, I had never even heard of him, much less seen him play. But I had blind faith in this kid, so come Christmas morning, I got this jersey.I know that the powder blue jersey the Chargers have now is better, but I can't say I like it a fraction of the amount of how much I like the one in my post. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

oddball Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm not sure if it was a Dodgers or a Rangers 1987 replica. It was a pullover, and I had them peronalized, with Mickey Hatcher for the Dodgers and Oddibe McDowell for the Rangers. I bought the Rangers one because that was the last team I played on.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Carolina Panthers Kerry Collins jersey... I liked the colors and the Panther logo. I was probably about 5 or 6. I've gotten rid of many past jerseys, but I proudly still have that one hanging in my closet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Bunky Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My first jersey was an Anaheim Angels jersey. It was the current home, and it was blank. I got it when I was 8 I think, so it was about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Scorcho Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The first one I bought on my own was the Brazil home shirt from the 1998 world cup. It cost me $110 which took quite a bit of saving at 11 years oldThe first one bought for me was a David Robinson road jersey in 1996. I still have it although it's a bit snug now. It did solidify my following of the Spurs which paid dividends over the next decade or so in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 A number 84 Washington Redskins jersey. No name on back, but at the time Gary Clark was a member of the Skins. No clue where my parents bought it from, but my 7 year old heart didn't care it was the greatest gift ever........ until I got a Super Nintendo that summer with Street Fighter 2 Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
