The Topic of Jersey Fouls

I have an open mind on this since I have been told I am too old to wear them since Y2K was a thing. I am a walking jersey foul if that's the case.

The notable exception to the Franken-Jersey foul is when parents are attending a game both their kids are playing in. Those are pretty cool.

[@ryanschlaud]

This is totally acceptable and I'd be upset if there were only wearing 1 kids. Lol

[@Hurtts101]

This. The other one is, our girls roller-derby team would play themselves regularly as they had that many girls. So the coaches made franken-jerseys to support both sides.

[@DillonJayasuriya]

Yes! Ray bourque’s parents in the SCF Boston-Colorado mesh

[@RRaquello]

The origin of that comes from auto racing. At Indianapolis in the late 60's, the Unser brothers, Bobby and Al, one drove for Firestone and the other drove for Goodyear (tires, of course, tire sponsorships being a very big deal in racing in those days.) So Ma Unser showed up at Indianapolis for the race wearing a windbreaker that was split right down the middle, half Goodyear blue and half Firestone red, and on the back, half of each logo, so it said "Good-Stone".

it's not hockey, but the two teams I think I'd like to really have a frankenjersey of are the Giants and Jets. I'd honestly probably go with Kareem McKenzie, considering he spent his entire career playing for one or the other and used the same number for both teams.

Back in the day , you go to a game, once in a blue moon(very long time) maybe you wear your fav team, not playing( yeah weird but understandable) Also ppl would say why have a Jersey not of your favorite team( ie only allowed one team)

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

Life's easier when you realize you only have to make yourself happy. I have jerseys with my last name, and some that say "Sir Jeffrey" (because if you're going to be a Knight, why not use the title?). Yeah, some people give you grief because "I never played" to which I usually respond "I'm not pretending to be Marc-Andre Fleury". I do stick with three different numbers; 17 to represent the year Vegas entered the league, 58 because it's a retired number, and 98, because it's my personal "lucky" number. If / when Vegas wins the cup, I might letter a jersey with "Cup Winners" and the year as the number. The one thing I don't really like is advertising, and even then it's tricky. Attorney Ed Bernstein has a seat pretty close to mine, and wears either a "Nuff Said" or "Call Ed" jersey, but, then again, he also sponsors the penalty kill. I've seen a few that advertise a real estate agency. I sort of toss that into a "not thrilled, but not worth getting upset about". Oh, and my custom VGK jersey was not delivered in time for either the preseason or the first home VGK game back in 2017. I wore a Las Vegas Wranglers jersey. I have the panoramic photo giveaway they had taken on opening Knight, and it helped me locate myself (not that it would have been too difficult, and I just have to move up the blue line from reverse center up several rows). It might have been third party to the game, but reflected Vegas and hockey.

[@Rockin_Ross]

Agreed with your own name on the back. I have one jersey from each sport I follow (hockey, baseball & football) with my own name and the year I became a fan of said sport. Players come and go so fast that you’d spend a fortune keeping up with them. I know I’ll always be a fan & wont get traded for $1 and a stuffed-crust pizza to a rival team.

I have always thought the concept of a grown person being so concerned about what another grown person is wearing they go to the trouble of making a Facebook post about it on team fan pages was a bit strange. Its one thing to see it and kind of go 'huh, what???' and another to rant, rave and ridicule someone on Facebook. Back in the day in Nashville we needed every fan we could get to keep the team, and it was a good site seeing hockey fans in the building that were not a fan of either team playing representing their team.

One thing you can do if you have a jersey with your name on it, is wear it to a game and when you inevitably run into one of those super mega "I know everything about this team" fans that will give you crap about it, is tell them "what you've never heard of ______? He was one of the most underrated players of his time, some fan you are.", and watch them panic to find any info on a player with that name.

Very good video Shannon & congrats on 200K subs. I have a mix of NHL Team Jerseys that have players names and #s as well as ones with my last name on them with a # to reflect a special year. Such as #50 for celebrating the ‘nucks 50th season. The jerseys that have my name on it are mostly used when playing Ice hockey or Ball Hockey. When playing in Beer league tournaments it’s easier for Refs and linesman to populate the scoresheet. Exception to this is when the team has our own custom jersey & have to wear it in the tourney.

I feel like I all gotta thank you for this video, It's one I come back to a lot even though I know your stance.

You have my attention Sir! My rules are simple, while I personally do try to avoid putting players names on jerseys that they never wore (EG Gretzky in a 2007 era Rebook OIlers jersey) I feel you can wear (a) any jersey either of the 2 teams wore, at any point in their history (b) any jersey of a specific player currently in the game even if it is from another team. I once saw an article about this that suggested it was forbidden to (a) wear any jersey with your own name on it and (b) can't wear any jersey with a player that is younger than you....stupid.

So I bought blanks (no player name/number), or in the case of NHL and MLS jerseys -- wore my nickname or last name, with a jersey number NOT currently used or retired.

If you came up with that on your own, “RELEASED 21” or “RELEASED IN 21” is genius. If it’s obvious, it wasn’t obvious to me. But I hadn’t spent any real time thinking about it either.

Cool story bro. One time I got drunk and cut up a Ken Dryden rookie because I felt creative.

#2. The NHL Auction site sells NHL Jersey's autographed with name and number by a player from another sport. Gronk Bruins or Lightning jersey, Mike Piazza Islander jersey. THEN they also sell Vice Versa like Baseball, Football, or basketball jerseys with the NHL player's name on them. It ONLY works if the athlete is invited by the other sports team to a game and they give them a jersey to wear for like the First pitch or be on the field before the game. Like other sports, athletes do puck drops wearing hockey jerseys.

my friend has a flyers jersey with crosby’s name and number. and this is a jersey foul but also a sick power move. as a flyers fan, i find this absolutely thrilling knowing they wear that to games.

You literally philosophically analyzed the concept of a Jersey

No comment on the 00 Griswold? I'm mostly pretty purist when it comes to custom jerseys & such, but its such a classic that I have to love it

I agree W most but at some point whatever makes people happy should be fine. I saw a little kid w a blackhawks 23 Jordan jersey… he looked happy… good for him

I remember actually seeing St. Louis Blues Pro Player replica jerseys 20 years ago and they said Eastern Conference, I'm still scratching my head on that...

Here in Winnipeg I’ve seen a few Jets/Canadiens mashups, and about 8-9 years back one of my friends and his kid stitched Jets and Leafs jerseys together. I haven’t found any of those mashups to be ugly, but….. that’s a lot of money, man. Especially considering, while it isn’t necessarily ugly, it still doesn’t look good. I’ve also noticed watching some Habs games that there’s a guy in the front seats wearing a Habs/Preds mashup where he has the Sabre-tooth overlapping the ‘C’ in a really creative way. If you’re going to stitch two jerseys together that’s the best I’ve seen done.

Family isn’t always good for taking chances. You did your thing and look what happened.👍

I saw Habs jersey #24 STANLEY years ago. In Winnipeg, you can go to a game and see 2 persons with the jerseys STANLEY and COPP.

Now I want you to do a video in a Franken-Jersey playoff video where you’re discussing the two different teams, turning from side to side. I... need... that...
