I don't feel uncomfortable wearing a hockey jersey in public, though that's only if we don't mean it in the literal/physical sense. Wearing a hockey jersey in public considering Arizona's typical weather most of the year would indeed be quite uncomfortable.
Granted, I'm only 27.

^but that's why the whiteout still makes sense in AZ, right?

I don't know any but I take your word for it. Trying to relate... I don't like to wear ties, but I guess I don't mind guys who do. Bola ties though, I don't know anyone who likes to wear a bola tie. Besides Joe Arpaio anyway and I don't know him only know of him.
Maybe guys who don't like to wear jerseys should try wearing a tee shirt under it...? reduce the chaffing?
It's actually a big deal in the South even at football games. Men generally wear shirts, pullovers, etc, before jerseys. Personally I wear pullovers to hockey games. I think it's a rink thing for me. Just always have. The only jersey I own are generally memorabilia. Now the ex wife? She had plenty. Everyone she ever bought, the guy would get traded.
It was an interesting poll they had on that show. I was surprised so many guys wouldn't wear a jersey.
That said, I was leaving work before my second game (maybe LaBarbara's Kings win in April?) and one of the old retirees who comes on base to buy tax-free booze howled at me from across the parking lot.
Love the enthusiasm, but
That could have been me. Comes a time when you just don't give a crap. I'm 51, so I'm not trying to impress anybody. The wife has been with me for 25 years this December so I'm pretty sure she doesn't mind too much. The kids put up with it too, It's good to be the king.
I also delight in howling in the stairwells after a win at the Job. People always howl back.
I wear a Doan jersey. Can't go wrong with that.
I don't mind the 'having a guy's name on your back' thing. Their status as a pro-athlete rationalizes it in my mind I guess, which definitely wouldn't happen if, for example, I found out the last name of that guy on the light rail and put his name on a jersey.
I only wear my Yotes jersey (sans a name and number, for now) at Yotes games. I've got a couple soccer jerseys as well. Those fit me a lot better, so I'm more likely to wear them casually. Even then though, I'll only wear one of them if the occasion calls for it (i.e. match day in the playoffs), and the other I've only worn while playing on my indoor soccer team. The latter (a white Germany Mesut Ozil jersey) will be pulled out a few extra times next summer during the World Cup.

I walked into a bar in Amsterdam once and had no idea some World Championship soccer thing was going on. There's all these crazy soccer hooligans in total uniform.. Kleets, shin guards and all. Talk about fandom. I thought the darth raider guy in Oakland was a bit of a fanatic. These guys were nuts.

Soccer jerseys were my souvenir of choice while I lived in Germany, so the collection is absurd, and the style of soccer jerseys -- number only on the back, usually short-sleeve -- makes them easy to wear in most social situations. If you ever run into me at a bar, chances are I'll be wearing someone's soccer jersey.
If you think a jersey is strange, what do you think about GOING to hockey games? You're paying money to watch guys skate around. What is THAT?
Full Kit ****ers is what they call people in England who walk around town in a full jersey. Soccer shirt and jeans? Cool. Adding soccer shorts? Ehhh .... Adding tall, full-length socks? Dude ... no.

Edit: really? ****** is filtered? It's the British slang that rhymes with canker.

Went to the Yotes-Canucks this past March down there, my only visit last season. Had way too many beers, went to the team store for a tshirt and ended up buying the full blown named jersey. Good thing for credit cards. Wife was very happy.
Anyway. Boedker. Hope I don't regret that one. Damn beer.

You're telling me ... his name wasn't even on the wall at the end of last season; I had to ask for it like it was a customized jersey with some random name on there. "Yes ... M - O - S - S ..."
I've been an active, engaged, knowledgable* hockey fan for about 13 non-consecutive seasons, and in 12 of them, my team has been coached by either Ken Hitchcock or Dave Tippett. Looking at that list of players, their influence on my hockey brain should be pretty obvious. Sturdy, two-way forwards and slick, puck-moving defensemen are my favorite skaters.

That's a nice pick up.
Hard to even remember him playing for the Thrashers sadly. Seems like he has always been a Hawk. Definitely not the case though.
RIP Thrashers
Miss that powder blue. Penguins 3rd just looked stupid with it, but somehow it fit the Thrashers.

got paws?
I have the following
- alternate (green) Teppo Numminen jersey
- alternate (green) Shane Doan jersey
- alternate (green) blank jersey, with nameplate/number set of Juha Ylonen
would love to have an alternate (leaping coyote) Ray Whitney jersey. Too much bucks right now, though, since I won't be wearing it often enough. Yet I'd still love to have one.

I have been consistently disappointed after purchasing jerseys of current players recently. It seems that after I purchase them, either the player leaves, gets hurt, or plays terribly. This is why my next jersey will likely be a Doan jersey, possibly a throwback kachina.
