I don't know about you but I'm basically giddy with excitement for football season. I freaking love the sport. I want to be the creeper who watches a high school Friday night game, even though I've been out of high school for ten years now, then goes to my alma mater, THE Ohio State University to catch game day there on Saturday and then spend Sunday with friends watching football for 10 hours straight. Throw in some Monday night football and Thursday night football and that's five out of seven days devoted to the game I love.
Since I'm a diehard devotee of the Ohio State Buckeyes, I of course have a jersey that I'll wear if I'm lucky enough to snag a seat in the Horseshoe. I totally get getting decked out for game day, even if you're just watching the game at a bar, or at a house party or tailgate. Putting on the jersey is fun.
What I don't get is people who wear jerseys on a random Tuesday as though that's appropriate attire for the day. 1) Those jerseys smell funny. They're like some funky mix of plastic and wearable textile that smells like rubber gone bad. You can wash them all you want, they're still smelly. 2) They're not all that comfortable. This lady likes to wear cotton and cashmere, not unbreathable synthetic textiles. 3) They're hot as fuck. I don't mean good looking, I mean just hot, which makes you sweat, which makes the jerseys that much stinkier. So with the lethal trifecta of smelly, uncomfortable and hot I really don't understand why people wear them as teeshirts. Just put on a teeshirt instead!
Unless you're suiting up for an actual game, or for entrance into a stadium or a party, let's leave the jerseys at home. You're not kidding anyone by pretending to be an athlete while you wear it in a MacDonalds while you supersize your french fries.
