You're probably all tired of hearing about my distaste for being a walking billboard for anyone else, but here it is again.
These teams SHOULD BE paying you to wear their jerseys, not the other way around.
Think about that. What other business gets people to voluntarily pay them to do free advertising for them?
Suppose I opened Grampahol's Fine Furniture store and had shirts made with my logo and my employees names on those shirts. How many of you would run right out and pay $80 (or whatever price) for a Grampahol's Fine Furniture shirt with the name of the shipping clerk emblazoned all over the back?
I'm guessing nobody would, but hey, I could be wrong.
