  • Your favorite or least favorite jerseys
  • Jersey rumors or concept jerseys

I'll start - I only own one jersey, a replica Boogaard. Received it as a birthday present a few years ago:

The Wild's 3rd is one of my favorites. Boogaard was my first favorite hockey player - he practically got me into hockey.

Next jersey I'm buying will definitely be the Wild's new Away. So Nice. Haven't decided on the player/number. Maybe Brodin? Niederreiter is also a possibility.

Other than recent Wild purchases, I pretty much did the bulk of my jersey collecting in the 90s.

Hockey: Custom red home with my last name and #63 circa 2007, old white aways used for player autographs circa 2007, old Chicago (black) #30 Ed Belfour circa 1993, Red Wings' (red) #91 Sergei Fedorov circa 1995

Basketball: Countless from when I was growing up/jersey collecting years (1994-2000ish). Still have them in the attic at my parents' house I think..

From memory:

Wolves' (white) #21 Kevin Garnett circa 1996
Wolves' (blue) #3 Stephon Marbury circa 1997
Bulls' (red) #45 Michael Jordan circa 1995
Lakers' (yellow) #34 Shaq circa 1997
Lakers' (purple) #8 Kobe Bryant circa 1998
Spurs' (black) #21 Tim Duncan circa 1997
Suns' (white) #34 Charles Barkley circa 1994
Wizards' (blue) #5 Juwan Howard circa 1999
76ers' (red) #3 Allen Iverson circa 1997
Blazers' (black) #3 Cliff Robinson circa 1995
Bucks' (purple) #34 Ray Allen circa 1999
Raptors' (black) #15 Vince Carter circa 2000
Pistons' (blue) #33 Grant Hill circa 1996
Knicks' (white) #33 Patrick Ewing circa 1995
Magic (black) #1 Penny Hardaway circa 1995
Kings' (purple) #2 Mitch Richmond circa 1997
Sonics' (green) #40 Shawn Kemp circa 1996
Pacers' (blue) #31 Reggie Miller circa 1995.​

Think there were a few more - Would probably be OK if there weren't.. Shut up. I like(d) and played a lot of basketball.

Football: Vikings' (purple) #84 Randy Moss circa 1999, Vikings' (purple) #28 Adrian Peterson circa 2009, Lions' (blue) #20 Barry Sanders circa 1997, Cowboys' (white) #22 Emmitt Smith circa 1995

Baseball: Twins' (white) #7 Joe Mauer circa 2010, Twins' (blue) #33 Justin Morneau circa 2010.

Current (active) favorites -

Hockey: Minnesota Wild green aways, Boston Bruins' home, Detroit Red Wings' home, Chicago Blackhawks alternate (black) homes, Philadelphia Flyers' away, San Jose Sharks' alternate (black) homes, Toronto Maple Leafs home

Basketball: Indiana Pacers' home, Los Angeles Lakers' away, Milwaukee Bucks' away, Cleveland Cavaliers' away, Boston Celtics' away, Golden State Warriors' away

Football: San Francisco 49ers' home, Green Bay Packers' home, Seattle Seahawks' home, New York Jets' home, Pittsburgh Steelers' home, Miami Dolphins' home, Carolina Panthers' away

Baseball: Pittsburgh Pirates' home and away, Seattle Mariners' home, New York Yankees' home, Washington Nationals' home, Cincinnati Reds' home, Oakland Athletics' home, San Francisco Giants' home

Current jersey buying plans:

None. I retired from the game. Every jersey owned after 6th grade was a gift. I don't wear them, but they'll be fun to give to my kid one day.​

Welp, that was a long post. Spent a little more time on it than I would've liked... Whatever. YOLO. It's Sunday.

I like discussing jersey aesthetics, so I approve of this thread!

Dortmund's new blacks are beautiful. I am seriously thinking about getting one. I'm not a big jersey guy, so I have to REALLY like something to consider getting it

My most prized (game worn) jersey has to be my Brett Hull St. Louis Blues. My brother is very good friends with his son (went to school together and played hockey) so the Hull family is quite coozy with mine.
My second most prized is a game worn Mike Modano North Stars jersey.
I really want to get a Granlund and Coyle jersey this year at sometime also.
As far as other sports jerseys I have 5 Twins jerseys (Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, Thome and Carew).

I'm no soccer fan, but that's a beaut. Slick looking jersey.

I have 122 game worns, and 149 hockey jerseys total. Throw in other sports and I probably have upwards of 250 perhaps?

I'm finally taking pictures of a lot of the ones I have and putting them up online (organized by team).

This is just part of my (hockey) collection, I still have most of it to take pictures of and post up.

Most are related to Minnesota (affiliated clubs) or Minnesotans, Minnesota drafted players, or random ones I've collected.

Dear God, man. I looked through your incomplete collection and I'm already jealous! Let us know when you add more pictures - I'd love to check them out.

I hate the current Vikings jersey. They need to go back to their late 90's through most of the 2000's version.

I really really like the Black Flyers jerseys. I also should buy my wife a Bruins jersey, as she kinda wants one. Or maybe just a hoodie.

I've been wanting to lately get a North Star(green away) Mark Tinordi jersey with the 'A' At Wild games you will see the Broten and Modano jerseys. I think Tinordi needs to be representing. Although when I go to games I would more likely wear my Wild green 'Syn 71' jersey; I don't get current roster player jerseys anymore. Kicking around a 'Marlowe 13' Wild white jersey as well. Can't believe no one in the history of the Wild has ever taken that number. Superstition?

Two jerseys I'll be getting someday in the future - Carolina's 3rd, and Nashville's 3rd. Absolutely love these jersey designs.

Favorites are:
Basil McRae game worn, signed, green Northstar sweater
Zach Parise game worn, signed, white Sioux sweater
Zach Parise game worn, signed, new Wild away sweater

I rarely wear my jersey. Once I get a decent collection going, I'd like to start framing them.

Hockey: demitra (wild), Hossa, giroux, backstrom (caps), old datsyuk that's too big.

I want a white wild away Brodin or coyle. Maybe Dumba if super far out

Soccer: Chelsea, Sevilla, Real Madrid all souvenirs

I wear most of mine throughout the year (great conversations starter) and I always wear one to the games.

There are a few I'd like to eventually frame up, but it's pretty expensive. I think it cost me 300+ to do a U hockey signed photo custom so....a jersey might be more.

Though, you can get these boxes where you essentially hang it in there.

I dig that St. Louis away. Not much different from before, but they didn't need to re-invent the wheel.

They got rid of that yellow piping (which I didn't hate as much as some), which improves it, IMO. One of my favorites in the league.

St Louis always had a sharp logo and great jerseys, aside from the Rbk Edge design. Pretty much all the Edge designs were a downgrade. Glad they reverted back.
