[PizzaAndPucks]

i wanna hear some good stories of random fan or random jersey sightings you have encountered over the years out in public . I once saw a random African amaerican man at my job sporting a team Finland Selanne jersey who didn't really know what the Jersey or player was which I though was a little funny haha. Hope to here some good ones in here...

One time in Kamloops BC I saw a guy wearing a Flyers jersey and after driving through a few more blocks I saw someone wearing a Penguins jersey. I'm not sure if they encountered each other or not hopefully they didn't.

I live near Dallas Tx and was walking through the mall and saw a Patrick Kane jersey and then about 15 minutes later saw a Brent Seabrook. Down here you don't see that many Dallas Stars jerseys outside of a game

A few summers ago I saw a guy, probably in his mid-60s, in a Costco parking lot in Nova Scotia wearing a Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup champions hat & t-shirt. He had a local plate too. That's the only Hurricanes fan I've ever seen in person.

 

[Deen]

Still wear my Tavares assistant Captain jersey for the Islanders.

 

[NyIander]

I saw someone with a signed Mike Komisarek leafs jersey. Still trying to forget that era.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Saw an Italian guy in a small town in southern Italy wearing an LA Kings hat.

Yep. Even at the games you'll normally see some Chicago fans, maybe a Crosby jersey, and other random stuff. I think people just wear something hockey related and think it doesn't matter as long as its the same sport lol

I saw a guy wearing a Messier Canucks jersey at the North Carolina State Fair.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

I saw a guy riding his mountain bike in a Datsyuk jersey. We do ride in jerseys but you don't see that many hockey jerseys out in the woods in July.

A few years ago I saw a Pennsylvania-plated car with a Florida Panthers flag driving through Harrisburg.

Must be somebody's dad / brother / uncle.

I don't have any random stories, but I was in Cologne this autumn for the Oilers / Haie game. It was cool to see so many oilers jerseys around town (usually pretty rare in Germany). I'd say about 1/2 of them were genuine oilers fans (either Canadians on vacation, or european-based fans), while the other half were generally just Draisaitl fans.

Hell, I own a Coyotes desert jersey because I had a friend visit from Arizona who traded it for one of every Canadian coin.

 

[John Price]

Seen way too many of them. Lot of people wear jerseys from teams that aren't playing in the game. Other day some guy in a Rangers jersey was sitting in the back of Capital One Arena. When the other team scored he started to stand up and cheer

Also seen 2 Penguins fans (although across the ice) at a Capitals watch party. They were booed every time they came up and down the aisles

Did he want to play duck duck goose with you?

 

[Kevs Security]

Saw a fella with Pens jersey... "Tekashi #69" on the back. I felt like beating the living shit out of that fella. I had anger issues back then.

 

[Amorgus]

I saw someone in a Steve Mason Flyers jersey at Disney World about four or five years ago. Oh Steve, Hex and Hakstol did you so dirty...

 

[Rodgerwilco]

This isn't exactly a jersey "sighting", but my girlfriend and I went out for a dinner date one day and I was wearing my black "Flying Skate" Pavel Bure jersey and she was wearing a long-sleeve Vancouver Canucks t-shirt in blue with the traditional logo. Some patron was walking out and stopped by the table and joked: "Uh oh, opposite team shirts, better watch out for that!" *insert stereotypical white guy belly laugh*.

I didn't have the heart or the patience to explain to him that these two very different looking logos and color schemes are, in fact, from the same team. lol

Disclaimer: Neither of us are Canucks fans.

I saw a Snoop Dogg wearing a Springfield Indians jersey.

On a side note, I'm from Springfield so it's funny to me. The Thunderbirds had a throwback night a year or two ago where they wore the old Indians jerseys and had $5 "gin and juice" in honor of Snoop

Living in New York, I've seen pretty much everyone.

My favorite was a family of tourists from Nashville who saw my Sharks hat and came up to me to talk about hockey. The one dude was wearing a Predators hat. Nice folks.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

self call out...

I have, and still wear, a Brad Boyes Bruins jersey

Was in Cancun one year during playoffs, brought my Penguins jersey for fun to take a pic on the beach. As it happens, the cabanas on the beach were numbered w/black & gold letters, so I looked for #87. The people sitting in that one turned out to be Flyers fans! We had a fun talk for a while.

I'm originally from Spfld (and surrounding areas) too and that video is legendary on that alone.

I was backpacking in the outback of Australia, working in a licquor store. One day a ~40 year old guy walks in with shorts, a hat and a f***ing #33 Sedin Canucks home jersey. I went ”Hey buddy, nice jersey you got there” and he just f***ing stared at me like i was talking about high level math or something. He apparently had no clue it was a hockey team even

 

[cowboy82nd]

Still wear my Tavares assistant Captain jersey for the Islanders.

You didn't burn it?

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

I saw a guy wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Championship t-shirt. He was REALLY OLD !!!!
