Still remarkable to me that this guy even had a jersey sold, let alone a jersey that he never played in.

DId Adidas change the on-field number when they took over, or is this just an odd jersey? Cuz that # font certainly isn't the same...... the Starter one is worlds better.

That's the font every non-Starter replica had for those Pats jerseys. I have a Ben Coates Champion, and it's the same way.

Someone else posted the original design sheets for this uniform on here a few months back. Apparently, the replica jersey font is what the Pats were originally going to wear on the field. The team made a last-minute change; the replica manufacturers never did.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

My fave local thrift had an old Pats stripey-giant-elvis Sedrick Shaw jersey for $12, though I couldn't cop a pic because my phone died:(.

It was exactly this one, though.

I'd pay top dollar for that. Any chance you could hook me up?

Would you want a Bledsoe version? I've never worn mine since I got it--and I can't bring myself to wear it either as a dolphins fan.

Could I have it as a free gift? :)

Well I went back this evening (the place is just a walk from where I live) and snagged the River Rats sweater. An XL from CCM, embroidered front logo, no name or number. If none of y'all are interested in a buy, I'll throw it on ebay.

Also, dug around and snagged some pics of these. Didn't get either for the time but could go back if any of y'all are interested in buying or think there'd be any value at all.

Jaguars Pro Player M Jacket. Usually I'd pick up something like this but I decided to save money and space for lawsuit logo stuff. That NFL EXPERIENCE patch is enticing, though.

Steelers Holloway L felt/leather Jacket. This is a weird one because there was no NFL trademarks or anything on it, just the word "STEELERS". Could be knockoff, or just for a high school that jacked their name and colors. The back is just blank felt.

I didn't buy it, but yesterday at a Ross store in downtown Chicago, they had a blank authentic Adidas stretch-fit college football jersey. It was a darker red. I assume it was manufacturer for Indiana, but for some reason they didn't put the name on the chest. It looked so tiny and ridiculous, so I had to try the thing on. The jersey stretched to probably twice its original size, but still didn't feel too tight or uncomfortable. The shoulders are ridiculous and puffy. There's extra fabric there, but the "sleeve" portions are so non existent that you can't even stretch them to cover the top of your shoulders without any pads on. It was a really interesting fabric. Strangely enough, the jersey actually shapes you and makes you look more athletic. I mean, I work out and I'm active, but it made me look like a football player myself. It was only $9, but I didn't buy it because what the hell am I going to do with an unmarked form-fitting crimson football jersey?

Had a pretty good day at my local Value Village!

I got this mid-90s Rangers Starter jersey in excellent condition for $10

And I picked up this Diamondbacks alternate jersey also for $10!

Both were in my size and both were in awesome shape. It's not very often that I find stuff worth buying there.

Another strange thing that I found was an Algerian national soccer jersey with this on the back:

Weiberov_zpszoeqkcah.jpg

My first thought was that this was a pretty cool and unique jersey but that the name definitely didn't sound Algerian to me. Sure enough, a google search told me that nobody by the name of "Weiberov" has ever played on Team Algeria. Not only that, when I search for the name "Weiberov" it only generates 62 results on google... compared to 7 million when I search my last name. Nobody on the Canada411 website has this last name, and there are no results on facebook when searching for this name. I have no idea why it's on the back of an Algerian jersey or how it ended up in a thrift store in northern BC. My theory is that somebody ordered this jersey with a customized name/number and somehow there was a typo that wound up on it and since customized merchandise cannot usually be returned that the person just decided to donate it. I may sound silly but I'm strangely intrigued by this mysterious name for some reason.
