Vintage basketball jersey party
Posted on March 17th, 2008 – 11:08 AMBy Michael Rand
So we had the occasion to attend a Northeast Pub Crawl on Saturday with a basketball jersey theme (that’s right, everyone wore basketball jerseys … we’re not sure why, but we didn’t make the rules). We were lucky enough to get Local Quipster to loan us his Christian Laettner jersey, circa the Wolves, which made for much hilarity. (You can vaguely make out us giving the “loser” sign, a tip of the cap to that most famous of Laettner stories. And believe us when we say we abused that line all night). In any event, there were some other exceptional jerseys, including Penny Hardaway, Larry Johnson and Reggie Miller. It was like a mid-90s all-star game. But it got us to thinking: What would be the best jersey we could have worn, if given the proper time and resources? A patchwork-quilt jersey of failed Wolves centers? A Michael Jordan baseball jersey? The mind wanders. So we want your help. If you were on the crawl, what would you have worn? And does this seem likeĀ a keen idea for the next Redactular? (Maybe using a different sport? We would love to bust out our Curtis Enis Bears jersey).
