You can't have mine. I wear it on bicycle rides when it's just cool enough to want something thicker than the thinnest jersey, but not so cool I need long sleeves. I picked up a bright red, short sleeve, thick material, Columbus Crew goalkeeper's jersey in the excess equipment sale in '06 or '07. Definitely before the championship. I'll give it up when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Speaking of thick thin material. I was at Walmart the other day shopping for stuff I need for my move and caught a rack of Crew gear out of the corner of my eye. I really liked the pattern and was searching for my size, when I noted how paper thin the material was; black should never be see through. So, I passed on the purchase. Too bad they looked really unique. Black back, yellow angled yellow and slightly darker yellow (a bit orangey gold) with our logo big on the front. Sleeves were black. Really sharp.
We're getting a Pride jersey this year, and I kind of want one: Stop by the @CrewSCshop for the new Pride Gear, available now! Perfect for Pride Night on June 1! 🌈👉 https://t.co/5T7ymhUSFa#Crew96 pic.twitter.com/tqwX3J3PWO— The Crew (@ColumbusCrew) May 23, 2019
There are things more important than winning and losing. After June 1, we have no reason to complain about any Crew player's performance.
Ok, first: Yes, it's ridiculous and I love it. Second: It's not an on-field jersey, it's the pre-match shirt. On the field, the players will still wear a normal jersey with rainbow numbers. (I discovered that little nugget after the window to edit my original post had closed)
And I hate to quote myself, but I can't access at work anymore.... I did want to be very clear--the point was only that we all have to check our assumptions at the door. You cannot expect your sports heroes to hold the same views you might. Some will--some won't.
I braced myself when I showed it to Tim. God knows he loves the oddest ********ing things. He does not seem to care for it all that much. May have dodged a bullet.
Get used to it--husbands can be like that. Just ask Mrs. KG! Of course, she likes elephants. Even went to Elephant School....
I’m all for Pride jerseys, but if you didn’t tell me that this was one, I would have no idea. It just looks like a black jersey with a whole bunch of colors splashed everywhere. I also love the shit out of it.
