REPLICA JERSEYS!
They’re neither as classy nor as sturdy as the $80 jerseys you can buy in the team shop, but the lightweight fabric is ideal for summer days and those days when you forgot to do laundry. Also, they’re much less irritating when you spill beer or squirt stadium mustard on them. Down the road, once these guys are traded or sold, they’ll become primo painting shirts.
