What was your first jersey? Do you still have it?
I was going through some boxes at my parents house last weekend and I found my very first real sports jersey. It was not one of those ones you buy from a souvenir shop. I actually saved up for months to get it.
The jersey is green. It's a baseball one. It has the number. My last name "CLARK" is written across the back in letters. It's not one of those iron-on letters that peel off after a wash.I used to play in summer leagues and backyard baseball with friends.
The jersey still looks good. The stitching is still okay. There are no threads. The colors didn't fade away.
It made me think about how rare it's for a jersey to last that long. Most jerseys I've had then have either cracked or the fabric has become fuzzy or they just end up being donated after a season.. My first jersey? It's still in my closet.
I was wondering what your first sports jersey, like? Which team or player was it? Was it custom made?. Do you still have it?
