When is it that you are Too OLD to wear a Sports Jersey ?

jay6s · May 3, 2016

so just because you have gray hair and a couple of wrinkles here and there you can't wear a sports jersey? if you love sports and you are a die hard fan you shouldnt care about what people say

This is a subject that always make me laugh. Besides my own jersey, I have never worn another mans jersey in my life nor do I even own one.

Cracks me up when you see some 48 year old balding 5'4" 259 pound bowling ball wearing a Peyton Manning jersey. It's unintentional humor. Besides the thing being ridiculously overpriced, It's not like it looks good on the guy.

Kids wearing jerseys is OK, adults to me is just comical.

Once you become older than the players you shouldn't be wearing a jersey

Never too old but I wouldn't pay more than 30-40 bucks for one.

Oh Please ... You probably have Luck's Matching Jersey and Underwear . Ha

Jersey's are for players or hanging on a sportsbar wall. Dont be a dork, buy a polo.

I really am not like that. Respect the talent. Yes. Would I bother them in a public restaurant or anything like that. No. Unless for my kids or something.

Kids are funny. I had a 7 year old try to tell me how much Cam Newton's career is better than Peyton's.

Never to old.......When I go to a Giants football game....Just about everyone has on a blue jersey.

Wear a jersey if you want to. Life is too short. Have some fun.

How old is too old to sit down and watch grown men play kid's games? Never too old, kinda the whole point of being a fan. Especially if you're going to watch the game in person. Personally I like the Jersey style T-shirts, much more comfortable. I wear my Kings or Dodgers T-shirts every time I go to the sports book to watch games.

I gotta agree with Cruise on this 1. I'm not wearing a jersey with another mans name on the back of it, just isn't happening.

But Cruise and I are snobby yuppy wannabe elitists so don't take what we say too seriously. If you wanna rock the Gronk jersey and say "GRONK BRO, YEAH!!!" then just do it.

Yeah I imagine that he wears tight designer jeans, with an untucked button up collard shirt, to the game. Dressed like a club yuppy.

I just bought a Steph Curry shirt/jersey on Ebay for myself. I guess that answers the question for me...

Though, I'm sending it back, because it's obviously a fake (the emblem is a huge bulky patch on the front).

I actually always get a good laugh at pacers games when I see the people dressed up like they are going to the club. Then they wake back and forth across the floor 10 times to make sure everyone can see them.

I think you can be old wearing a jersey if you go to a game or a bar to watch the game. maybe a fantasy football draft.

but once you are an adult, you shouldn't wear the jersey for everyday things like shopping at the mall

CoachCB · May 3, 2016

Anyone over the age of 12 is too old to wear a jersey. True story.

JudgeWapner · May 3, 2016

23 Unless of course it is a Steelers jersey.

When I get tix for the Hawks my kids meet us @ the UC...all 4 of us dressed in Black Hawks Jerseys
