I have several personal jersey rules. Again, these apply to myself and I hold no one else to them.

1. No names on the back. I’m not on the team, so my own name is inappropriate, and I’m my own man, so no other man’s name goes on my back.

2. Jerseys are only worn outside of the house if I’m on my way to, at, or on my way home from an actual game.

3. Jerseys are only worn on game days.

These rules work pretty well for me.

I’m an anywhere, anytime jersey wearer. I wear most of mine like coats or sweaters, and when I get to my destination, they come off like a coat or sweater. Hardly ever do I got through a whole day in one.

I also have jerseys that ONLY come out of the closet for games…some for use during roller/ice hockey…and others that are just for lazing around in

Being a teacher I’ll wear a jersey to school on dress up days like “sports day” and things like that….

I wear mine around the house all the time….game day or not.
I used to wear one as a sweater on cold days, but two years ago my wife bought me a nice Avs stadium jacket…
I have worn Avs jersey’s to Las Vegas Wrangler’s games (ECHL), but I’ll probably be getting a Wrangler’s jersey pretty soon…maybe Billy Sauer?

I don’t have my name on any, and probably never will…

It’s very rare that you’ll see me out without some manner of sports jersey on, although my Avs one is probably my least worn one because of its bulk. If I get a Unipron for Christmas or something it will probably see more use than my old-style Foote jersey.

The only one with no name on it is my crappy knock-off bright purple Rockies jersey.

Is for major events.
Playoff games, retirements, and if I’m going to the game in person.

Otherwise, I put it on about 30 mins before puck-drop.

I generally only wear them for games, but occasionally I’ll put on my nameless Avs sweater or throwback Karl Mecklenburg jersey. The “own name” should be illegal.

If we’re talking jersey fouls, I saw a guy on the bus from Wagon Road to the Broncos game a few weeks back wearing an authentic Jamie Winborn orange jersey. I started to feel bad that he’d dropped $240 on that puppy, but then I realized that anyone dumb enough to get a Jamie Winborn jersey deserves to be out at least $240.

Personally, I don’t understand why everyone knocks the jersey wearing crowd. If you like it, cool. But I’m also one of those single guys that takes a baseball glove to the ballpark.

I’ll wear a hockey jersey pretty much anywhere, restaurant, shopping, movies, disney themed 21st(Yeah, i rocked the mighty ducks jersey and it was awesome, I know how jealous you all are) and mostly when the Avs are on TV in Australia but lately I haven’t worn them much mainly because it’s Summer over here and my favourite one is hopefully somewhere in Tampa signed by Budaj.

I don’t see how wearing a hockey jersey in public is any different to wearing a football/basketball/soccer jersey in public. Who cares, If you support the team and want to wear it then wear one and who cares what everyone else thinks.

I’ll wear a jersey anywhere hockey is played. Not all the time, but normally.
I’ve been collecting them since about 1995 and I’ve got pretty close to a hundred, including one I got made with my own name but I don’t wear anymore. It was cool when I was 17, and still had aspirations of making it to the NHL, but ten years later it’s just kind of embarrassing.
Hockey jerseys are the best conversation starters ever!! I’ve had people all over North America come up to me and say ‘Wow, I love that jersey!" Usually it’s one of my Whalers, old-school Sabres, or Leafs, but hockey fans will seek me out and start conversations. Which is sweet cause I love to talk hockey, but I’m kinda shy.

When I first became a fan of the Avs I wanted to get an Avs jersey with my name and the #9, cause I thought (and still do) that Ricci was the shit. I guess cause I was playing rec hockey and managed to get that 9 I thought it was ok.
How bad would that be now with Duchene? Anyway, my GF who has a natural sense of jersey no-no’s harassed me enough that I didn’t do it.

I just got my first Avs Jersey. It’s an official road jersey (white) that I won at a charity auction for…..$80 (they sell for $200 normally). It’s a 26 Paul Stastny jersey. I don’t have much Av’s stuff. I tend to wear my Rockies jersey’s when I go to Rockies games, and thought it would be nice to get an Av’s jersey, plus the money went to a good cause.

Here’s the kicker: It’s signed by Stastny. Some friends said, there was no way I could wear the jersey cause it was signed and it would be a waste of signed memorabilia and I have to get it framed. BUT, I didn’t want a picture for my wall….I wanted a jersey, and I got it so dang cheap (comparatively) I thought by not wearing it, I would be wasting a perfectly good jersey.
  
So, can I wear my Stastny signed jersey? (oh, and thanks for starting this thread, I really wanted to ask this question)

the places i REFUSE to wear my avs jersey: to ducks or kings (or any other hockey team) games when they are NOT playing the avs. i absolutely HATE it when people wear jerseys of other teams to games when that team isn’t playing unless it’s an olympic team, all star team, or original team from which that franchise came. call me a purist, i guess, but i find it annoying. i’d forgive a college sweater if it seemed likely that it was that guy’s sweater from when he was in college i suppose, but…the rest, sucks.

1. No players names – it’s tacky, makes people think you want to live vicariously through the player to make up for your athletic shortcomings.

2. No personalized jersey – as tempting as it sounds getting “Bertuzzi sucks” on the back of the jersey it’s just dumb, I expect a 4 year old to do that…plus, we all saw the main reason why no one should EVER get personalized one…

3. When in the town of your rival…WHERE IT EVERYWHERE. Especially if your team has the edge in the series, or just won an important game against them…I used to love doing this in Dallas.

4. For those of you who have 2 or more jerseys, designate one as the arena jersey, and the other as your any time. Please WEAR A SHIRT UNDERNEATH.*

5. For women, the second part of rule 4 is optional. There is nothing sexier than a woman in nothing but a hockey jersey.

The whole jersey etiquette thing is ridiculous. If you shell out $100 for a jersey, you should get something YOU want. Choosing a jersey because it follows a particular “etiquette” set forth my someone who posted something on the Internet seems childish to me.

The whole Puck Daddy jersey foul is the zenith of immaturity. These people sneak pictures of hockey jersey they don’t like (which in itself is creepy as hell) then run home and upload the pictures to their Internet friends to make fun of them. Grow up. This equates to little kids passing notes in class to poke fun at a classmate. At least the kids don’t know any better, have the balls to make friends outside the Internet and they aren’t weird sex offenders trying to sneak pictures of other people.

/soapbox rant

I’m going to dinner with the Fam before the game tonight and I’m gonna rock the old 3rd at Oskar Blues.

The Puck Daddy fouls are pretty funny.
However, you have a point about taking the pics as I have felt a little creepy sneaking a pic with my phone, haha
