So yesterday Kdawg and I were talking and I said I was going to buy a Bojan Krkic jersey. Bojan is a 17 year old super prodigy on Barcelona. In soccer, the first team players wear numbers between 1-25 and the reserves wear 26-99 with exceptions obv. Anyway, Bojan has been wearing #27 and I was considering buying one of his shirts. Then today I read an article about how in January they will be changing his number to a first team number. When I talked to Kdawg I said "dude I'm glad I didnt buy that shirt yesterday..." and then he went on to tell me that he thought the 27 shirt would be cooler and more collectible than the newer shirt. What do you guys think?

I know, some gay soccer thread, but this obv applies to a lot of stuff, would you rather have a kobe 8 or kobe 24 shirt? Michael Jordan 23 or 45? A Michael Jordan UNC jersey or a Jordan Bulls Jersey? Just kind of something I had been wondering.

FWIW, I'd get the shirt now.

You can always get one with a new # later in life to add to your collection.

PS. It also shows you were a fan early, which is cool

I agree with your friend, it'd be cooler to get the 27.

Not worth debating the basketball jerseys, unless you're black or one of the few white guys who don't look absolutely ******ed in an NBA jersey.

yeah tbh i think soccer(and sometimes mayyyyybe baseball) are the only jerseys that dont look ******ed being worn when not playing sports.

What if you look like Shawn Bradley while wearing your Sixers Shawn Bradley jersey?

Spellman,

A close friend of mine as an authentic Bradley Mavs jersey he wears to every Mavs game we go to. He thinks it is funny, I only thought it was the first time.

I agree that I'd get the #27 one. I think it also is cooler then whatever his new number becomes if he someday ends up on another club.

For football other sports it really depends on the player. For example, in football:

Barry Sanders OK St. jersey >>> Lions jersey.
Tom Brady Pats jersey > Wolverines jersey.
Tomlinson would be tough, but I'd go Chargers since TCU is purple.
I'd rather have a Oklahoma AP jersey then Vikings.
I'd rather have a Chris Walsh Vikings jersey then an AP or Moss one.

If you wanted a Deion Sanders jersey I think you'd have to go FSU... otherwise what team would you get? Falcons? Cowboys? 49ers? Cowboys? Ravens? Yankees? Braves? Reds? Giants?

I look pretty ******ed in a basketball jersey, but part of the fun of going to a game is that you can look stupid and not care. I hope I never become one of the people who goes to games in normal clothes and tells the people in front of me to sit down and be quiet. I wouldn't wear a jersey around town though.

yeah, basketball jerseys are fine at games for anyone. Same with baseball/football. Ultimately I don't buy the jerseys because I don't go to enough games to justify the $$$ (though I'll probably buy a KG saint patty's day jersey this year.. sooo sick).

btw: the player in question has scored 960 goals in 7 years on the Barcelona Youth side. sooooo sick.

Basketball jerseys just look ridiculous on me. I have a couple baseball jersey's that I'll wear on regular occasions, and two Ajax jerseys that I wear since soccer jersey's are basically t-shirts. Football I only wear to a game or the day of a big game, but I have several.

For the OP, I think I would wait and get his new one, I just like having the current one. If you get them more for collecting than wearing though 27 is fine. Or you could get both. The only college jerseys I have are GT Football.

Baseball or soccer jerseys are the only ones you can wear during normal occasisons.

Okay now for the real question, home or away?

It would be better if he wore a belt with it.

get the red blue one

Improper jersey wear is definitely a pet peeve of mine. Guys who tuck a football jersey into a pair of khaki pants look ultra lame.

I've never seen someone try to do this in a game.

Home. AINEC

for clarifications sake, the blue/red is the home shirt, i said them in the wrong respective orders.

Get the home jersey.


I have a Paul Pierce High School Jersey that I wear to games and occasionally just around during the summer.

For those that don't know he went to Inglewood.

For those that don't know Inglewood is always up to no good.

PS- Boston fans might be interested to know that Coco Crisp also attended Inglewood High School at the same time Pierce was there. Also, Pierce got cut from varsity both freshman and sophomore year. Suck on that MJ!

Neither should he have. Its 0-0, hes left with the goalie to beat and in stead of doing something simple and effective he manages to put the ball out of play with this flashy trick. Theres plenty of players that can do that, but they dont do it because its more for showing off and not an effective solution.

eh where the ball was he really couldnt shoot it past the keeper. A bunch of comments said he was trying to do something else.
