All of my jerseys, hockey or football, have my date of birth as the number (23) and my own last name, because who am I kidding? Even if I ever had the talent, I'm at least 30 years too old to be pretending I'm a professional athlete.
I'd be embarrassed to wear a jersey with a talented athlete's name on the back. The team? Sure, I'll wear my Jets jersey forever, but as much as I'd like to be, I'll never be a Mark Scheifele or a Patrik Laine.
Besides, after reading too many posters in this and other hockey forums, I'd be scared that the name would be spelled wrong.
