Kaiser416 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 This topic has probably been talked about. With a lack of good players that wore the current leafs jersey with the vector logo, I contemplated about putting my own name on the jersey. Some may consider this a jersey foul, but some think this is a way of being part of the team. Also you don't have to worry about the player being traded or declining. Just wondering if you guys have your own jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have one, a Blues, and I regret it everyday I breathe. It's just stupid lol. Do what you want, but seriously, it just ends up being a "whyyy?" The first time someone said to me "Didn't know the Blues had a number 47 named Bonewicz" I was ashamed.

TheMadHat Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would never. However, if there were a player in the League with the same last name as me I would probably look into a Gamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 My first jersey has my last name on it #16 (time Palffy was on the team). I would never customize a jersey with my name on it, unless I intend on using it during a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFanInDC Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would never do it unless there is a guy on the team. My last name is Beck so have thought about getting an old Rod Beck Cubs jersey. Girlfriend's last name is Scott so if he had stuck around I may have got her one of those for the Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoCaps Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Need to get me a Keith Carney game worn (my last name)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser416 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 You can always strip your name and re-do it. Money and time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeblitz47 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would never do it. Plus why would I want everyone to know my last name. It's more of a safety issue for me. Being a Latino hockey fan there is an almost zero chance of a player having the same last name as me which is Rosales. I have only met two people ever who have the same last name as me, oddly enough I helped a customer at work who had the same first and last name as me.

What the hell are people going to do with your last name, man? Unless there's a new KKK-esque group that targets people with the last name of "Rosales," I think you're fine haha. PS, just looked it up on hockeydb.com, no one...ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guam64 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Normally I would call it a jersey foul, but since it's the Leafs you could probably play for them so you might as well put your own name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Red Wings Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 My last name is Bond. I have a Jeremy Bonderman jersey and would like to add a Peter Bondra jersey...but so far there haven't been any good Bonds in any of the major pro sports leagues.

oars Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Lucky for me, there's a player with my last name. (Retired though) Oh man, I just remembered there's a Leafs player with my last name. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a paranoid person but I would rather not have info like a last name out in the open. My favorite team and player is another story. I looked up my last name for baseball and there are just two players who have made it in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krendelev Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have some with my last name on them that I use to play hockey in. Most of them were not in the best of shape when I got them so I wouldn't sell them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have one jersey with my name on it but it was a gift from the college team I worked for as Media Director. As for a gamer with my name on it, the best I can do is get a Nils Ekman jersey as it the closest to my actual last name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharolde Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am with most here in that I would never put my name on the back of a jersey I didn't play in. However, finding a gamer with my name on it was a big priority for me. The spelling isn't exactly correct, but it is as close as I will come to having my name on an NHL jersey.

redbeard3569 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have two. Both Kings gamers. As a Kings fan it was a no brainer that I needed them. Started me down the road to collecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
